Not a problem at all.

I had Windows 7 prior to installing windows 10. I am unsure how exactly I did the upgrade but what I DO remember is that I upgraded to Windows 10 after my new hard drive was installed. I purchased a digital key online and the system was downloaded online in an hour or two.

Okay, I don't understand why you purchased a key for W10, when the upgrade is free for W7? Did you have Home and wanted Pro or something? Did you transfer your W7 OS to the new hard drive and then do the upgrade? Or, did you just clean install W10?

Windows 10 worked fine for about 3 months until about 3 weeks ago when this occurred. I was so mad that I couldn't figure out what was wrong and had given up on the PC completely. Now, with some extrinsic motivation, I'm trying to get it running again. As a whole, the PC is approx. 5 years old and a custom build.

Okay, so if it was working for about 3 months, then we can be pretty sure that it was activated. Once you have all your data backed up, let me know and we will start a repair install.
