I know,
the scenario,
two laptops, one presinstalled. We ghost it to the other computer. Then the
new computer got problem with the windows when it has to validate it.
We are going to use the serial number that came with the computer, not the
oem serial.
Ofcourse I syspreped the installation before I ghost it..
