Imaging Drives, need to change W7 product Key on OEM
Hi all...
My company purchased 5 new 6005 Pro HP MT.
They all came loaded with XP Pro but have the 7 pro media.
I loaded one up, updates, customized, etc.
I cloned the drive to another machine, and changed the product key for Office 2007 and reactivated it very quickly and easily.
Windows 7...on the other hand, isn't so easy. It is an OEM copy (legit 100% from HP)
When I go into properties of the Computer, it just says Windows is Activated and gives the Product ID. It's an OEM (obviously) Key.
I just want to be 100% legal...nothing fishy going on here.
I'm not spending 8 hours per box installing 7 and customizing it for the stores when all 5 boxes are identical. There has to be a registry key edit that I can do to enter the correct W7 product key and reactivate Windows.
TIA...
