• Activation of Windows after the end of support

  The question is what will happen with the activation of windows once microsoft stops supporting windows vista or other windows like windows 7?

  For example, that I will continue to use vista for older games and software, but sometimes there is no need to reinstall if something is wrong (I had problems with the updates and reinstaled vista, after that it works well). And my scanner is not scanning software for windows 7, so I need old Windows.

• 405 proDesk G2: how to activate Windows after replacement of the motherboard

  I upgraded my G2 405 ProDesk to Windows Pro 10 of the original OEM Windows 7Pro earlier in the year.

  Last week, is not the motherboard.  The PC is still under warranty, so HP arranged for a replacement on place of the motherboard.  It worked well, except that windows is activated is no longer.  I called Microsoft with the installation ID in order to get a re-activity windows confirmation ID.  Microsoft said that I need the original license key.  I don't have that because it's an installation OEM from HP with, arguably, the key in the BIOS that has been replaced.

  So what I do now?  HP will issue me with a license key given that the PC is still under warranty?

  Just to clarify, the license was Windows 8.1 Pro downgraded to Windows 7 Pro, so there was a key Windows 8.1 on the original BIOS but the PC came with Windows 7.

  Your post got me thinking, however. I ran the FirmwareTablesView.exe application on the new motherboard and found a license key in the BIOS.  Then, I went to change the product in Settings\Update & security key and enter the key of the new BIOS.  Activation was then successful.

• Impossible to validate windows after replacing the hard drive

  Hi, I had to replace my hard drive because he was almost dead.

  I have a genuine copy of Windows 7 Home 64 bit that I bought when I bought my PC.

  There is also an official label on the desktop with the series, Windows 7 product key.

  I made an image of my old hard drive. All this went well, except that now I continue to receive messages from Windows saying that my copy of Windows is not genuine. This is the case. I tried a lot of things, but can't do anything.

• 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!

  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

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  If you have an identical motherboard, then you should be able to still get it reactivated.

• Configuration problem of Windows after replacement of HDD on Satellite C650

  Just replaced 250 gig hdd on tosh c650 with a 500 GB hitachi hard drive, reinstalled windows 7 on a tosh disk recovery and get implemented windows could not configure windows to run on this computer material followed by windows could not complete the installation message.

  Tried reloading windows two times, no joy. I'm not that computer savy if someone could help me sort or the disc is not compatible?
  Thank you

  Usually, you should be able to use the recovery disk to install the Toshiba on another HDD image

  But in my experience there is sometimes a problem using this recovery disk if the new HARD disk drive has a different storage size.

  One of the reasons that could come from this format of HARD drive recovery disk and create new partitions. The defined recovery disk HARD drive to factory settings and creates the same partitions that were available on the old HDD.

  If this is the reason for this problem, I advise to use the Microsoft Windows disk rather than the Toshiba recovery disc.

• I have to buy Windows after replacing my hard drive?

  I learned that my portable (HP DV-6) needs a new hard drive. Looking at the steps, I'm ready to do it myself, but I was also told that I have to buy another copy of windows?

  Is this true or can I use the key that came with my original disk?

  Your laptop has a software to do a defined recovery disk. They can be used to boot from after installing a new hard drive and reinstall Windows and all software/drivers.

• How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

  My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

  Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

  Hello

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• 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

• Windows will not start after replacing the motherboard

  To begin, I must say that I am pretty clueless when it comes to computer skills.

  To summarize, I sent my CPU to a repair shop when my computer has stopped working. I removed my hard drive before starting the repairs because it contains confidential data.  They have narrowed the cause to a faulty motherboard and replaced by a new dissimilar.
  At the store, the guy had a vista 64 bit recovery disc so I have it home and tried to fix it. He said it will be a breeze and relatively bug free. As part of the Startup Repair, I tried to drive the Startup Repair, and tests were all successful except one. An error of diagnosis readings

  "Unspecified system configuration changes may have caused the problem.

  Repair action: repair and checking the integrity of system files

  Result: failed. Error code 0 x 490

  time taken = 720023 ms

  Everything I've done has led to a brief blue screen to the Windows loading screen and then it restarts itself.

  I also tried to restore to the previous two points, but it has also led to the square - a brief blue screen after the loading screen and restarts on its own windows. I'm not ready to reinstall vista and I can't afford to do it too, because I don't have enough disk space to perform another installation. Nor am I willing to reformat one of my two disks.

  If you need additional information on the specifications of the material that must be provided, ask me.

  IM at my end intelligence now, and I really hope to solve this problem.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but you have to completely reinstall the operating system after replacing the motherboard with a different motherboard.

  "Startup Repair" is exactly that: a start NOT a repair system repairs

  What has happened, it is the operating system on your hard disk contains the drivers for the old motherboard and does not and you can't change drivers in doing what you do.

  The only way to solve this problem is to reinstall Vista.

  You wipe the hard drive and restart and make sure that the repair shop gave you the disc to install the new drivers of motherboard after you reinstall vista or download on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard.

  And here a question for you to consider, too.

  If you bought a copy of Vista retail yourself, you can use the method above to a new installation and then install the new disk motherboard drivers.

  But, if your computer is a trademark of purchased manufacturer, HP, Toshiba, etc., you can not change the motherboard that the license of Vista OEM is stuck at motherboard the origin of the manufacturer that it has been installed on and now you canceled your Vista license.

  See you soon.
