• Windows 7 Pro upgrade Activation issue.

  Windows 7 Pro upgrade Activation issue. I bought a real upgrade of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. In reading, there is no way I could actually update my current installation of XP and keep all the settings, I decided to just reformat my hard drive and install windows 7 as a custom install fees. Now, I can't activate Windows 7 because it claims that I do not have a version of windows installed on this hard drive. Is it possible (armed with my XP and Windows 7 product keys) I can activate my software? Or should I go through the hassle to format my drive again, stick XP on it simply to crush it with Windows 7 so I can activate it? Feels like a bit of an oversight for XP to 7 plants of valuation. Thanks for any help you can offer!

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• The upgrade of Windows 7 Pro OEM of Windows 7 Ultimate retail

  My PC is custom built and delivered with Windows 7 Pro OEM installed.  I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate in order to obtain several language and BitLocker.  I know that in a few months, I'll change this PC motherboard (motherboard).

  I know that with the OEM, the product key of Windows 7 license is attached to the motherboard.  So when I change, Win 7 Pro license will be lost.  Since I want to be able to transfer the license of Windows 7 to one MOBO to another, I bought a full commercial version of ultimate.

  My question is this.  To upgrade the Pro OEM ultimate retail, it's just a matter of changing the product key on the screen of the system property and the new product key will launch the installation of missing features to Windows 7 Pro?

  You must use Anytime Upgrade.

  Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, follow the on-screen Wizard, enter the key of Windows 7 ultimate on demand, click on, and then restart your computer when you are prompted. Less than 10 minutes, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and your files and settings retained.

  Two points:

  1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
  you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

  2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
  motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
  disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
  the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
  If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
  legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
  the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
  license dies with him.

• Can I make a new installation on new hardware with Windows 8 Pro OEM?

  But seriously, I have a new MB that I need to use as there is a problem with my Chipet a PCB there is some problem with power. I have not really but it's a mess now of working with and I bought a copy of Windows 8 pro OEM System builder and I made sure that if reason I could use the liscence to win 8 OEm on new hardware store and this Orginal Statemant of Microsoft saying it's fine as long as it's only on a PC. Although I found many threads say otherwise and win 8 OEM is not transferable, as are all the Windows OEM. So I ask you once again so I can have a PC is able to install on new hardware?

  Original title: fishing trolling warn... Can I make a new installation on new hardware with Windows 8 Pro OEM?

  Windows 8 Pro OEM System Builder has rights of transfer, then Yes, you can move it to a new computer or the motherboard.

  http://personaluselicense.windows.com/en-US/default.aspx,

  "Can I transfer the software to another computer or user?

  You can transfer the software to another computer owned by you. (You can also transfer the software (as well as the license) to a computer that belonged to someone else if one) you are the first user under the software license and b) of the new user accepts the terms of this agreement. To make a transfer, you must transfer the original media, the certificate of authenticity, the product key and the proof of purchase directly to the other person, without keeping all copies of the software. You can use the backup copy that we do or the media the software provided on transfer the software. Whenever you transfer the software to a new computer, you must remove the software from the previous computer. You can not transfer the software to share licenses between computers. You can transfer the Get Genuine Windows, Pack Pro or Media Center Pack software only in combination with the licensed computer. »

• Windows 8 Pro OEM update problem

  Hi all

  I recently bought an Acer P3 pre-installed with Microsoft Windows 8 single language tablet. Since I need to use some of the functionality available only with the Pro version, I bought a Windows 8 Pro OEM license. Since there is no way to reinstall Windows 8 at the beginning, I use the 'add new features' upgrade. Apparently the license does not work since it is a complete Pro 8 license and features requires the Windows 8 Pack Pro license instead. So, I make a call to Microsoft Tech Line and full of hope that they can change the license Pro Pack. After 2 hours of curiosity and the final tip, pleading for a change (it is not possible to Exchange or refund from the store I bought because the seal is already open), they will not always be allowed to change and leave me with RM 414 (~ 129 USD) in the sewers.

  Is it possible for me to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with this product key, and I really hope there is some flexibility on the part of Microsoft to help me in this situation since I already bought a Microsoft product with a higher value than the Pro Pack Upgrade. I would be happy for you to show my Bill and photo of the if product key requires Microsoft.

  Thank you and looking forward to any kind of answers.

  Unfortunately, add functionality does not support OEM System Builder licenses. You should have bought the Pro Pack or Pro Windows 8 details of upgrade.

  Your only other option because you can not return it is again a custom installation of the currently installed Windows 8 SL. Backup the current Windows 8 install before do you.

  First, create a backup of your installation of Windows 8 on an external hard drive:

  Then, create a repair disk:

• WINDOWS XP PRO OEM OS PROBLEM (S)

  Community (?) merge,.

  VM Guest PC error message: cannot configure target VM.

  Hello everyone,-New virtualization VM, so far, fortunately have not drowned, treading water with impatience! Currently, I use a MBP with Mt Lion. I tried to install Fusion 5/Mac several times (4 to be exact) all to no avail. I think that my problem might be the Windows XP Pro OEM OS, according to the instructions in the VMWare beginner. Are there effective workaround for this problem? If not, what should I do to fix the facilities failed? How would I go about installing the new version license retail Windows XP Pro on the PC of the client without having to (re) install all my windows programs and files? Any assistance at all, would be most appreciated. Water-treading start to fail, HELP!  Thank you all.

  For many years I have dealt with Window XP on a daily basis however I don't remember there being an option to upgrade an OEM installation on-site with a retail facility, so I can't answer explicitly.  Might be better to answer this question by Microsoft or the Microsoft forums.

  If I had to test it and I didn't have a ghost of the physical HARD Disk Image to recover from then I'd probably use vmware-rawdiscCreator to temporarily access the physical HARD disk as a raw disk hard can use vmware-diskmanager for a hard normal file based on it.  This does not change the original physical HDD.  Then I would make a virtual computer by using the new normal file based hard and then run the CD at retail, or the ISO Image of it and try to do a repair installation.  If everything works you have then a retail install with your applications and data intact user.  Once again but without really trying, I can only say that's what I would try if in this position.

  Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

  In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

• EliteBook 2570p: Windows 7 Pro OEM activation error after reinstall onto the new HARD drive

  Greetings!

  I had to replace my laptop HARD drive and then clean installed windows iso downloads, burned on a dvd.

  I first tried Windows 10 (build 1511), then Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1. Or activate using the key OEM COA sticker.

  I tried MS activation of phone also, but they said that they could not generate a confirmation key. They tried to transfer me to "get windows up and running support" but could not get through.

  The first activation says invalid key without being connected to the internet, which makes me wonder if there is an inconsistency between my product key and SLIC data, (which I do not have much understanding).

  The service 'Ask Tech' at Microsoft tried to sell me a license at a high cost, which I don't think I should need because I have the license OEM Windows 10 retail.

  I don't have HP recovery disks (and did not expect to need).

  Any advice would be welcome!

  The problem is that you should NOT use Win7 ISO downloads to reinstall your PC.  Given that your PC came with a preinstalled HP Win7 OEM version, and is NOT available for download, I have to assume that what you used to reinstall a retail version.

  And the problem is that the commercial version only lights up with a retail key.  The product key that came with your PC and is printed on the COA sticker, is a key to OEM HP product - and that cannot be used to activate any other than the version from HP OEM version of Win7.

  Your best bet at this point, is to restore your PC using HP recovery media - and then perform the upgrade of Win10 after that.

  It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.
  
  You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
  
  Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.
  
  Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  Note that if HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

• Windows 7 Pro (OEM) suddenly not authentic

  Hello

  We have a Dell Vostro computer laptop that was preloaded with Windows 7 Pro and have had it for about 2 years.    In recent weeks, Windows began to vomit warnings that Windows was not genuine, and we can also download updates Windows on it.   No changes were made to the computer, and does not install any major software or changes were made.

  Looking at work - properties, it shows that Windows is activated.  In addition, if we run the WGA Diagnostic tool, it shows that Windows is genuine and activated.   So, we are really confused on this issue.

  Dell support had us try a few things, which included the re - enter the product key (using the key on the sticker of MS, which is located on the computer) and forcing activation to run again.  Finally, they said that we had to reinstall Windows (what?) or call Microsoft technical support.  And the right to call Microsoft's $400 or $500.

  Everyone else ran into this and found a solution?   We also tried updating the BIOS of the machine, without change.

• Windows 8 Pro OEM installation problem

  Hello

  My PC configuration is what Intel i3, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB drive. I recently purchased Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) OEM a re-seller on Amazon. The product key is with the disc. When I try to install using the disc, I face below - question

  Boot from the DVD drive where the OEM disc
  PC boots with blue Windows 8 logo
  PC remains at this screen for 2-3 minutes, then stops. No error message indicated.
  Restart the PC in 10 seconds and the foregoing continues

  Could someone please explain how to install this drive OEM Windows 8 Pro. Do I really need Windows 8 Kit OPK (OPK)

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards
  Pranav

  The OEM preinstallation Kit is not necessary since you use it for personal use.

  OEM licenses must be installed by professional system manufacturers. Under Microsoft's OEM license agreement, they should not be sold to end-users under any circumstances, must be preinstalled on a computer using the preinstallation OEM (OPK) before delivery to the customer and include to the at least the manufacturer contact information.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_for_hobbyists.aspx

  --------------------------------

  As to why the installation failed:

  If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  You can also try to reduce the amount of RAM you have installed, and you try to install the new.
