Tried to clone a W-D SATA 1 TB hard drive installed with Windows 7 Pro onto new Corsaire 240GB SSD using a program called Macrium Reflect. File transfer finished completely without errors. I then unplugged the SATA drive and booted the PC to the BIOS to check boot order and recognition of the new SSD. Everything is showing fine. F-10 to continue start up. Windows 7 begins to load till it gets to just before the "Welcome" screen. It stops and it displays - "Preparing your Desktop" (searching in background) eventually a plain blue Windows background screen shows in the LRHC "Windows 7, Build 7601, This copy of Windows is not genuine". No other options shown at this point.
The Windows 7 OS is genuine and I have the disk.

All recommendations and comments greatly appreciated. Thanks, Skoot61

Maybe try re-validating it? Rick click on Computer and click properties. Scroll to the bottom and see if there is any info there or if it wants you to re-enter the key.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion... I downloaded another clone program ( Acronis True Image) and that program cloned the drive without any flaws and is operational. Skoot61
