Software/Windows related question.
So, I got my SSD today and did a fresh install of Windows on it. Upon trying to activate it, I get a "blocked key" error. I tried the automated phone recovery system, but my installation ID was not found (probably because I bought my copy off of eBay instead of from a retailer). After calling tech support and getting India (go figure), I basically realized I'd need to re-purchase Windows. A sad day indeed.
UNLESS... Will cloning my current HDD to my SSD work? From a functional perspective, I know it will - what I'm concerned with is the 8.1 license carrying over. Or will it still make me re-activate the product, rendering my efforts fruitless?
