My laptop is telling me my windows is invalid. Could this be related to putting my hard drive into a different laptop recently.

Yes. When you registered your copy of Windows, Microsoft took a snapshot of your rig. Now that it is in a different rig, MS thinks that you have it operating in two different computers, and that's illegal. You can solve the problem by contacting MS either by phone, e-mail, or their website.

Just as Vince52 is saying. You will need to reactivate by contacting Microsoft. Changing hardware will quite often result in this.
