I am also getting the popup that says Windows is not genuine after an HDD upgrade. It is coming up more and more frequently. I have "successfully" activated it over the phone and over the internet. The registry shows the correct key as being installed, but if I go to Windows system settings, it shows the wrong product ID, no matter how many times I change it.

I have a screenshot of the Windows is not genuine message on my screen at the same time as The Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool saying it is genuine. (See attached.)

Thanks!

moviecane: what happens when you press "Resolve online now"
Does it take you to the activation screen or to a Microsoft page? It the latter, read the page and follow any links. There might be a MS Fix it for your issue.

moviecane: Here are the threads on SF that contain the 0x8004fe21 error code I gleaned from the image you posted.
Maybe one of the solved threads has the solution you need

Please open a new thread to track the progress of the issue on your machine (so I don't confuse members again :) - thanks.

Yep good move Bill my first port of call is a Google on those errors and one can usually come up with something from Microsoft or that Windows site as well.
