I read it as the "new" computer.

Hmmm... None of this makes sense to me...
"Tandy 2000 and 95.
I shoehorned this rig up to XP into a new box, did magic with the profile to get the desktop into a W7U fresh install disk that I purchased so I could get the free upgrade to W10 that was being offered.
So, yes, I have a W7U License Key.
P.S. That "new" box was formerly a Vista OEM.
And this "new" box was also formerly a Vista OEM."
What is Tandy 2000 and 95? and how shoehorned?
I'm too young?

Maybe, ...
Tandy 2000 was Radio Shack's entry into the PC market WAY back.
Aside from that.
This was a full installer Windows 7 Disc onto a HP machine (dc5800 microtower) that was a Vista installation with the master template from my ongoing desktop since I first got a Windows PC, yes, I am that old.
This install was then upgraded to Windows 10 via the free upgrade offer from Microsoft.
The machine went belly up and did a hardware crash to which I managed to get back to the desktop after much effort.
The license was declared invalid by the OS.
I found out a lie, your Microsoft account does NOT assure you that your license is properly backed up.
Microsoft agent recommended I re-enter the Windows 7 key while connected to my Microsoft account, this activated my license and now I'm good.
And now I can stick my other two hard drives of goodies into that machine.
I do thank everyone who made constructive input into this thread.
