windows not genuine(2)?

Question

So I just get off the phone with Microsoft and they tell me they just implemented a new rule where your original hard drive you got with the computer is the only drive you can have XP installed on. I got a new hard dive like two years ago, and they tell me I can use it anymore, and they want $100 to make the software "genuine" again, Im sorry this is ******* bullshit!

Answer 1

The Windows on your PC is an OEM version (Original Equipment Manufacturer), and it only works on the original PC WITH original components.

Pay the money or try free Kubuntu.
