I have no idea what you are talking about. What is a "New Activation"? On some other hardware it had never been installed on? No, then. I've not bought any new hardware to test installing a legacy OS I've no interest in using.
I got the boring 0xC007C0008 key blocked error (twice) on 10 and just moaned at MS until they gave me a new key.
I have however restored both Windows 7 and 8 onto their original hardware and they were activated fine. If you want me to restore onto completely new hardware then I'm afraid I can't oblige as I don't have any and couldn't be bothered anyway..
