[QUOTE="vanHunks, post: 1005943, member: 13392"] Thanks to all for the suggestions. After looking into the matter further, I downloaded a utility (not the Nirsoft product but this also works) that can read the authorisation code from the BIOS in newer machines, to extract the OEM activation key. I applied this and received the usual brush-off from Windows - 'Unable to activate Windows...". I left it for a while to do something else. When I came back about five hours later I discovered the system had been activated, with the key that I had used ! Am not certain what happened but all seems good for the moment. [/QUOTE]
