Activation of Windows 7 - replacement motherboard?

Hello

My Sandy Bridge 1155 motherboard starts to behave strangely, and I suspect that it should be changed. However, it is just more under warranty, and the chances are that it is not possible to obtain an identical replacement.

My question is: if I have a very different 1155 motherboard, but all other hardware components remain unchanged, would I still be able to (re) activate using the OEM Windows 7 license currently in use? If so, I have to do it by phone?

Thanks in advance!

You can always try to phone activation:

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  • Activation of Windows after replacement parts

    My old PC developer a fault and held with the new motherboard. He had two HARD drives in one installed with Windows 7 Ult I have the drive OEM and COA. The other HARD drive has Windows 8 I paid for digital download on MS DOS in 2013 I think but was only later upgraded to Windows 10.

    In any case the two HARD drive will start very well and seems to work perfectly except that they will not activate again. Because it did not work I tried to reinstall the Windows 7 Ult of the disk and it installed fine, but even once, would not activate. Windows 8 and Windows 10 were digital downloads of MS I don't have the disks to retry installation.

    So I'm a bit stuck now. How can I get the OS I paid a lot of money for reactive? Any advice would be most appreciated.

    My reading of the situation is that you have a copy Dell OEM of Windows 7 on one Dell computer. This invalidates the Dell / infringement of license terms for Microsoft makes the copy of Windows 7. You must purchase a new copy of windows.

  • Same pc, installed replacement motherboard, won't accept activation

    Hi all

    I have adobe installed on my main desktop computer and a laptop computer. The Office has recently gone for repair and returned with a replacement motherboard (exactly same brand/model etc) but now adobe does not accept activation. I thought that after about 2 weeks 'old' activation would stop, as when a hard drive dies. This doesn't seem to be the case however. So I find myself with the same pc but the thought of Adobe I have 3 different facilities. What should do? Thank you very much

    Activations cannot just 'stop', because the server handling them doesn't know anything about your system dead. Contact support by phone and they will sort.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8-1114 Deskto: replacement motherboard on HP desktop PC

    Given there are too many problems with the motherboard of Pegatron IPISB-CU (Carmel2) on a HP PC that is 4 years old as my blu - ray player and dvd player not working not both at the same time, the video card fan died won't spend countless hours searching the same replacement of a video card that will not play new games. Recent maps have new bios UEFI which are not compatible with the map of Pegatron that I and most of the companies do not have BIOS custom to make the card work with the motherboard. I thought about replacing the motherboard and try to push it another 2 years. However I have a few questions about this process.

    First, WILL the Intel Intel Core i5 2400 processor currently on the HP PC will work with another different Board or is LOCKED to the current configuration of the motherboard and will not work with any replacement motherboard? How about the memory sticks? I know that Intel makes their products compatible with their own products and the upgrade/replacement by other non approved parts HP will not work with their products.

    How will be my Windows 7 installation is affected by the replacement of motherboar? I have to do custom / clean install of Windows 7, or I'll still be able to use the Suite of recovery in the PC to re - install Windows 7?

    I'm not planning to upgrade the power supply on the PC because I'm shopping for a low-power video (not the means.) map And I also know that if I update the motherboard, I know that I lose the wireless/Bluetooth card and the card reader because it has a secondary power supply that I did not see in any other configuration of the motherboard.

    Or simply scrap system and start from scratch. I can't believe my $900 luck down the drain in less than 4 years.

    Upon reflection, while I do not normally give replacement Advisor, these two motherboard will work with the CPU and the memory that is currently in your PC

    Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1

    ASUS P8H67-M LX

    Being that they are not current models, so that he may be uneven buy locations.  I will leave that option open.  These form factors (case plug Assembly) is not compatible with the present case.   Check the mounting options in the current case vs buying a new case.

    Other issues, keep me posted.

  • Replacing motherboard NE56R27U gateway is not well...

    My son NE56R27U had a motherboard failure (a short circuit somewhere on the Board, could not isolate), so I bought a new gateway/Acer.  Well, the jury arrived and I replaced it in the laptop, and now it does not recognize the hard drive.  Before start asking you, I have two sons, and each has the same laptop, so I was able to determine that the HARD disk is perfectly fine - I can put it in another laptop and it works perfectly.

    I can also use the recovery disc, it does not recognize it.

    When the computer starts, the home screen now says 'Acer' instead of 'Gateway'... then I fear that it may be BIOS problems...

    I looked in the BIOS (and compared to the work laptop computer) and found that, while the laptop work said it is an entry door and carries the serial number, the laptop with the new Board of Directors said it is an Acer and has a fake serial number (123456789) in the BIOS.  I think that this could be part of the problem.  If I remember well, the recovery disk is 'good' for the specific laptop, and I guess he uses the serial number to check the disc "belongs" to this computer.

    So, this is likely problem, and how to update these data?  I can pull the latest updates to the BIOS on the site of the bridge, but they are packaged to run Windows.

    I would appreciate any ideas...

    Gail

    Replacement motherboard resolved the problem.  The computer started immediately with the logo of the gateway, the HARD drive was recognized, Windows starts.  In addition, the serial number that is now on the computer appears in the BIOS.  Then... send this bad mutha... back on board...

  • Activation of Windows XP in the new computer.

    -Old hard drive, the new Machine

    I have a hard drive with Windows XP.  The machine from Dell, in which it was loaded crashes - most likely a motherboard problem.  I installed the HDD on another machine that has had its hard drive failure - virus suspected, etc..  The combination of 'new' hard drive with Windows XP and the Dell with the card mother work seems to work.  I get the error that I have to reactivate Windows XP to connect.  I can't connect Internet (I have not discovered why in this case) and the result by telephone (voice) says that ID is not on file (?) and gives a Web site for activation.  I can't access the Web on the machine, and the Microsoft Web site with the "solution" has the answer in form of download - once again, not good because I can't access the Web with the machine in need of activation.  The phone translates a computer, not a person.  I changed nothing other than to remove the hard drive of a machine which does not to whoever's doing.  What can I do?  Thank you.

    The operating system of Windows XP which is not the operating system on which was installed when you purchased the Dell hard disk from Dell? If so, it's probably an OEM version and as such is "related" to the system BIOS, it came with. It will not activate connected to a system with a different motherboard and a different BIOS. In addition, if an OEM, software license version is no longer valid because it is no longer used with the material with which it was purchased.

    The reason why you can't get an Internet connection is bound. Since the XP system on the hard drive has been used in the Dell system, it is configured to be used in the Dell. There the drivers for the Dell hardware installed. You will need to identify the current computer's ethernet card, download and install the appropriate drivers for this card.

    It is a method for activation of the phone:

    Yes; unless you contact the computer manufacturer and / or do it "as defined by the manufacturer's warranty."

    It's the part of this Microsoft Information which concerns you, as you say now that you have an OEM license:

    "If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for other reasons that a defect, then a new computer has been created. Software operating system Microsoft OEM cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the new operating system software license is required. If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you need not acquire a new operating system for PC license as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make and model or equivalent/replacement by the manufacturer, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty. »

    We have no access to the terms of the warranty of the manufacturer of your computer. It's something you'll have to discuss with them.
