So, I upgraded my aunt's PC because the motherboard and CPU were fried through a thunder storm. Here is the original PC: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02012172
Here is the New CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA63948K5486&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Accessories+-+CPU-_-9SIA63948K5486&gclid=Cj0KEQjw1ee_BRD3hK6x993YzeoBEiQA5RH_BFiChawLbTR9HFw5zuTpDBAxvbZRNnGmDpXLBu_NEWoaAh1W8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

Anyway after we brought it back to my aunt a hour later it said that this copy of windows 7 premium was not genuine what can I do to fix this?

Call Microsoft and tell them that the original board died...

Call Microsoft and tell them that the original board died, and you had to replace it.
Either through the phone robot, or talk to a human.
There is no click click fix for this.

Try activating using the license key with which the computer had. If the license key was OEM, then you have to activate it through phone. If it didn't come with a license key, then the computer was installed with a non-geniune Windows copy (cracked or illegal license) before the above hardware replacements (most probably Windows was reinstalled during the above hardware changes and it was not activated).
