Error Code 0xc004f063 on Dell Retail system after HD Upgrade
I have a Dell Studio XPS1495 that I bought from Best Buy about 3 years ago. A few weeks ago, I upgraded my Memory and hard drive setup to a SSD primary and a second data drive. Since the new primary drive was smaller than the original, no mirroring programs would work, nor would the Windows Recovery or Dell Recovery since they require the new drive to be the same size or bigger.
Also, There is NO windows COA sticker - it was either not there, or it came off. (Odd though, cuz the other Dell stickers are there and in good condition too) but it's a valid system that was all good. So, I got the product key from my original install using produkey, thinking that was 'the one'. So, I put in a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium, using the key that I got, and a downloaded ISO from microsoft (I forgot where, but they seem pretty easy to get) All good, but after a few weeks, I then got the activation errors, Error Code 0xc004f063 while trying to activate.
Through these forums, I learned that the Retail Key on the original install is a generic one or something and that the key that Produkey is also a generic one.
I've seen a few threads of some possible solutions, but one thing -I still have the Original Drive with the Original Install on it. I can easily pop that drive in and access the original, good install. Produkey won't work, obviously, but is there any other options - as seen here: Product Key Number for Windows 7 - Find and See I don't want to keep swapping drives unless there is a known solution.
Side question - is it known for a retail computer to NOT have a COA sticker? I never noticed, or needed it until now . . . 3 years after I bought it.
