Trying to activate oem with a new activation code.
hi All
I recently had problems with my Dell laptop so I bought a new computer and took my ssd drive from the dell and put it in the new machine so I wouldnt have to reinstall everything. All works fine apart from in control panel/system it says "2 days until automatic activation.Activate windows now"
So I bought a new oem version from amazon but when I entered the product key, it says "the product key cannot be used to activate windows on this computer."
Any suggestions what to do? The last thing I want to do is reinstall windows as I use it for work and dont have the time to setup everything again.
Thanks
Paul
