Its a full version of W7 x68 and it says its still activated and

If by "full version" you mean you have a copy of the OS that you can
move to any computer you chose, then you are fine. If by full version
you mean you bought the computer and it was already installed, then you
may have to re-install it every 30 days, or try to get the manufacturer
to make it right with MS.



*OEM - must purchase with system order. Cheapest version I can buy.

*OEM 32 bit MS Win7 Home Premium /Pro /Ultimate 95 / 127 / 183
*OEM 64 bit MS Win7 Home Premium /Pro /Ultimate 95 / 127 / 183



If this means you do not have a copy you can move to another computer
then you "may" be in for a headache. It's been a while since I went
through this but MS considered a new MB as making a new machine. Now if
you have a copy of the OS that did not come pre-installed, then it will
of course not matter.
Of course this may be something that MS has decided to change also. I am
sure I was not the only person who got caught up in this, so they may
have changed their policy. You will know soon enough.
