Windows did boot, but came up in 640x480 mode with basic drivers,

The explanation it gave me: new hardware. This was a retail license, though,
which should be transferable.
When I upgraded some VMs running Windows 7 on VirtualBox to Windows 10
on KVM I had to re-enter the license key for some of them. When you
say it "refused to activate" did you mean that you re-entered the key
and it rejected it? Or that it just didn't automatically accept the
pre-existing key?
