Activation of Windows 7 after parts upgraded.

I updated some parts of the computer after a power failure. I installed my upgrade to win 7 Home premium and it will not be activated. What I have to buy another copy of windows now?

What parts spend you? If you went just the motherboard, then previous license that was used as a product calling it using the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade, which means technically, you would need a new license of full version.

If this is not the case, try to activate again by phone:

  • Activation of Windows 7 after the failure of the HDD for gift

    Hello

    I have an old Dell Precision M70 I work to clean up to make a donation.  The laptop came with Windows XP, and I've upgraded to Windows 7.  I ran a utility to clean the hard drive boot and Nuke and thrown in my Windows 7 Upgrade disk.  I was surprised to see that it is installed, however, the activation key for Windows 7 Upgrade is not be accepted as a valid key.  I understand that it is a key to upgrade, but is it possible to validate anyway?

    I could give it's feel bad to do.  I would like to put this machine in fully functional form, but did not know that my upgrade product key should be rejected when I started.  I have a second laptop I had intend to do the same thing with, but don't have the key of the original product.

    Any advice on how to solve this key activation debacle would be greatly appreciated.  I would hate for my two licenses to upgrade Windows 7 will now be useless because I don't have the original XP Activation keys.  Never did.

    Thanks in advance for your consideration,

    Jim

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    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.

  • Bare metal 10 Windows Installer after the upgrade free on-site

    I wanted to start a new thread on the specific problems with the reactivation of Windows 10 after obtaining your free upgrade by upgrade Win7 or Win8 on-site.

    Someone has actually managed to make this work?

    Have you taken steps to clone all parameters (such as the MAC address) of the upgrade virtual machine?

    Have you had to call MS?

    Please chime...

    Someone in my organization wrote the following:

    For what should be obvious reasons, Microsoft does not publish details of their activation. However, several of the VM (.vmx, hard) files contain several unique hardware ID such as Virtual NIC MAC addresses, serial numbers virtual HD, a bios UUID, etc, all these values can be read by the guest OS. We know that the serial numbers of equipment like these are used to generate the hardware hash that Microsoft uses to determine the identity of an activation system, although the exact algorithms are secret.

    We also know that when you copy a virtual machine to a new location VMware Workstation will ask if it has been moved or copied. If you select 'Copy' it generates a new UUID news addresses MAC, etc. and the system requires reactivation because as Windows is concerned, it's a different system or a major change enough 'material' to qualify as such. If you select "I moved it", it doesn't generate a new hardware ID and the system remains activated.

    I'll need backup/snapshot my VM activated prior to the test, but it goes without saying that the start of the install media (Microsoft has a tool to generate or download the ISOs) and shape (or diskpart own) the virtual drive before doing a clean install on a virtual machine enabled previously, as you would on a physical system they wanted to rebuild , will perform a clean installation of the virtual machine and allow a reactivation by license terms for Microsoft. Assuming that automatic resettlement activation works as Microsoft said, is installed on the same virtual hardware as long as you don't tell VMware to generate new material ID's

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

    On the reverse, there is also this 'feature' 'factory reset' which also supposedly returns it to a 'clean install' state you said could be another possibility.

  • Activation of Windows 7 after reinstallation problem

    So, a few weeks ago, my laptop has been infected with something, and my bf suggested resinstalling the operating system to wipe the computer clean, so we did. We used his copy of the full edition of Windows 7 that he had bought in a bookshop on campus. Jump in now, I realize that I have to activate windows and try to do it with the product of his cd key. When it starts to turn on, it says "the following error occurred while trying to use the product key: Code: 0xC004F061 Description: the Software Licensing Service determined that this specified product usable only key for the upgrade, not for new installations." Because this does not work, I used the key on the back of my laptop. Then he said: "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows 7." You must run the installation of Windows 7 or enter a product key Windows 7 Ultimate. »

    If I'm screwed? I'll have to go and buy ANOTHER copy of Windows 7 Ultimate so I can have a 'legitimate' Windows copy, even if it already is legit? Help, please. Thank you.

  • Touchsmart 320 computer: Activation of Windows 7 after the replacement of the motherboard

    After that my PC has failed because the motherboard has been damaged by an electric shock, I replaced the motherboard in a Service of HP to the Chile. When I got back my PC it works fine, but after 1 week, it begins to show a message that says I need activate Windows 7. When I try to activate, it asks me the product key, but there is no place to find. After a few days it will lock up and I could ' t use more. I pick up the PC with recovery system and works very well the first days but again is asking me to activate Windows 7. Where can I get activation key for my Windows 7 original product? I want to continue to use my PC normally.

    Thank you.

    Greetings,

    There should be a Microsoft COA 25 character sticker attached to your system.

    Try the product on the certificate of Authenticity number.

    You will need to contact HP for the service if there is no COA sticker.

    It seems that HP did not tattoo the BIOS on the new motherboard with the correct information to auto activate the operating system.

  • Activation of Windows XP after you edit the file system drive

    I am upgrading the disk on Lenovo laptop (Win XP Prof) file - I current code product key (and old hard drive as backup).  I don't have an installation with laptop disc, so I used a Dell OEM disc to load the base OS.  I'm not able to activate Win XP, even using the activation of the phone - it does not work.  Is there a support # I can call or y at - it another way to activate the license key?

    Hi BillCra!

    I see that you have installed Windows XP by using a copy of Dell's OEM and it will not activate.

    Copies OEM Dell didn't actually need activation, unless it has detected that the material is not a Dell hardware. Each copy of the OEM OS CD is tagged to a specific motherboard, which means that the CD of the OS provided by Dell will only activate with a signing Dell MoBo.

    If the manufacturer of your computer, Lenovo, has not provided an OS CD then, you must ask to send you this CD.

    See you soon ~!

  • Activation of Windows Vista after replacing the hard drive

    I'm unable to activate windows after having my hard drive replaced. The portable station to my Windows Vista Home installed school, when my computer was originally Windows Vista Business. When I try to use Windows Activation, all options tells me that my product key is not valid for Windows Vista Home Edition. However, the steps to find a phone number to call for the activation require me to enter a product key, and then find the phone number from there. Because I can not clear the checkpoint, I can activate Windows or find a phone number to call. My computer has been purchased through my school, so I don't have a Windows Vista Business install disc, it automatically installs through the recovery disks. I could back up everything and then use the recovery disks, but I was wondering if there was another way to use the product key, I have, or to communicate with Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello

    the product key you have is for Vista Business, not the House

    without a product key for home which must be provided by your school or purchased by you (no longer sold) will not be activated

    as you bought the computer and operating through your school system, these are the people to talk about this

    and if they provided you with recovery disks when you bought originally, they are used to boot from to reinstall the original operating system

  • Activation of Windows Vista after changing motherboard and processor

    I bought a HP Pavilion Slimline PC (HP S3500z) with AMD Athlon Dual core, online from HP in the United States during the year 2008, which is preloaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. I did the recovery also disks at this time.

    In May 2009, I came to the India and the PC was fine. This year, in October 2010, the PC has suddenly stopped booting and after discussing the nature of the problem with the HP online support, it was concluded that the motherboard has gone wrong.

    I tried to locate to the motherboard, but it is not available and there are size constraints associated with the motherboard that can be mounted in the slimline PC... FINALLLY I could not well the same motherboard.

    Now, I have no option but replace the motherboard and the processor from Intel to make...
    But after the replacement of these two main components: the Vista downloaded on my PC will not recognize them and would require again activation...

    I have not yet changed components and require the guidance on how to make this change followed in reactivation...

    Please give information about the problem as early may so I'd go head and do what is necessary...

    Thank you and best regards

    When you change the motherboard, you lose all rights to the OEM installed Vista OS.  It is called "tattoo" by HP and is a license agreement with Microsoft. Your only solution is to buy a version of the OS and sure, format the drive to lose all data. The only other alternative would have been to contact HP and ask questions on a refurbished motherboard, or a Board that is in the same group family who would accept the OEM license.

    I recently installed Windows 7 on my desktop PC and activated.  However, due to display problems (which is happened because of Lightning), the technician computer that provided the proposed Windows 7 reformat the hard drive and I agreed.  After formatting, Windows 7 has been installed from the original disk even.  I am not able to activate now even after providing the correct product id.  The message says that I have to buy a new license!

    Another curious aspect: I tried a day before activation, which asked me to download a software (from Microsoft of course).  I followed the instructions, and after a lot of screens, I thought I found 'successful activation.  However, booting my PC this morning, I find that I have 0 days for activation and that he chose the option "Activate now" with the same result (after providing the correct product id).

    Add to my great surprise, after restarting the PC, he said now "27 days to activate. Activate Windows now.

    Could someone please guide me how to actually activate my Windows 7 now?  (Either by the way, I had also installed MS Office 2007 before reformatting and activated.  After reformatting, Office was installed from the same disc again and I had no problems activating the office...)
