Still not quite correct.

1. The HDD had been off-line for years. No, I did not boot the HDD before the problem started.

2. I was only using Office on the SSD and it was working fine for...

Maybe this will help. When I "replaced" my HDD with a new SSD, I used Macrium to clone the HDD to the SSD. At that time, every thing I had on the HDD (all applications) worked when I booted to the...

Here is the information from the SSD.

Just to clarify, when I boot from the HDD, Office is active. The clone on the SSD was active and working just fine. It was not a second install. However,...

I recently added RAM to my system and as soon as I opened MS Office Professional 2010 (yes, its old, but it works for me) - I got the "Product needs to be activated" message that MS had detected a...

Is there a newer AppXPackage? I see when using the above command it produces errors that say if failed because a higher version was already installed. Or are those three errors normal?

And, I...

Thanks! Does "showkeyplus" still work on Windows 10? Is it run from the CMD line?

Not sure I understand - if I bought the license for Windows 7 (and have the original Microsoft disks, and the license key, which just happens to match the sticker on the old tower), are you saying...

Hi - it was a Windows 7 (OEM) upgraded to Windows 10 during the "free" upgrade period. So, the license (on the cabinet sticker) is for Windows 7 on the old/junked machine. So, I suspect that's...

Hi - If I remember correctly, Windows 10 Product Key (or license) is based on a hardware ID of some sort. If I have a working Windows 10 on a HDD (or SSD), and I'm ready to junk that computer and...

Solved - sort of. Found that I had an image of the Win7 HDD-1 partition. It was not current, but rather than doing a new install, I figured at this point it would be worth having Macrium restore...

At this point, I agree. Probably wasted a lot of time on this already.

Is this just by using the Windows 7 Pro upgrade disk? Will it give me a choice as to which partition I want the Win7 to...

Hi - Actually, I don't know how to create a new user account when I can only seem to run the Task Manger.

I'll run the sfc /scannow - got nothing to loose.

And with the difference in the number...

Hi - By the way, I believe that previous post about the drive letters not changing may be incorrect. When I booted on to Win7 and ran the cmd to fix the Not Genuine issue, it had to be from C: So...

Well, I don't think so -- the reason is that the Win7 on C had a different desktop and shortcuts than the Win7 on G (Actually, I put an empty folder on each desktop (O-Win7 & 1-Win7, 0-WinXP,...

Now this is interesting. Before the Windows 10 upgrade the drives were labled:
C: Win7 (HDD-0), D: WinXP, G: Win7 (HDD-1) with the C Drive being flagged with the Windows 7 Icon.

If I booted...

Well, no luck. Get the following two error messages:

api-ms-win-core-com-midlproxystub-l1-1-0.dll is missing

Ordinal 854 Not Located in iertutil.dll

Next message is "to upgrade Windows, the...

Got it - copying all the files & folders from the Windows 7 Pro installation disk to a folder in Windows 10 - then move that folder to the Windows 7 on HDD-1 and boot into that OS and use the Task...

Hi - am I correct that since I can't get to the Optical Drive from my Windows 7 in its current state, that I should boot from the Installation Disk? How will it find the Windows 7 OS that I want to...

Thanks for the reply - I do have my original Windows 7 Pro disk; if I run the setup.exe on the DVD how will that affect all the currently installed applications (that appear to run just fine from the...

I have a dual boot system in the following configuration:

HDD-0 = Win7 OS, HDD-1 = Win7 OS, WinXP OS. I have successfully booted into each of these operating systems - and the Win7 OS on...
