I just built a new computer, replacing my previous one in its entirety, this was not a pre-built computer or anything. I have my own copy of Windows 7, and it installed fine, but now it won't activate. I think it is because it thinks I am trying to use it on two different computers, and so it wants me to buy a whole new Windows 7. The reality is that I am not using two computers; just the one.
Is there a way to get around this? I think its bullshit if I have to buy a brand new OS key every time I upgrade my computer. I never had this problem with Windows XP...
