Thank you. It turned out to be exactly as you described- the key on the case worked. Thankfully this occured now and not after the planned refit of the case I was thinking about sometime in the next year.

Hi Passerby1

 

I told you to use the chassis product key provided by HP.

 

There is no valid reason why Microsoft will not activate Windows 7 in your circumstance.

 

Please refer to this Microsoft Support document on how to activate W7 when you are having a problem.

 

The W7 product key should be on your chassis.

 

You are welcome.

 

I am here to help users, while not disparaging other forum users in this process, solve problems.

 

Arrogance is bliss.

Hi

 

If you plan on doing major changes to your current configuration in the future you may have W7 activation problems.
