Hi, i just built a new computer and purchased windows 7 OEM 64 bit. I installed it and when it went to activate it said it was not valid or that i may have a counterfeit copy, which i don't. I have read that i may have to call microsoft, can anybody help me out ?
 
Solution
Call Microsoft. The call to Microsoft is painless. They'll give you some big long string of characters to enter, but it works.

There's really no way around this.
