Activator Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade without reloading XP on the system first?

After the purchase of a brand new (without OS) computer I tried to load my software to genuine Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) upgrade I had bought for intended use on my old computer but never charge over there because it was "of the problems' (where the new pc).

Well not that no responsible OS Windows 7 could be installed from the CD on the new pc and worked for 3 days in a satisfactory manner. Now, I get an activation error telling me that the 25 char key is not valid. I checked that the software is legitimate using windows audit but saw on the Faq that the problem may be that MS does not accept my key I did have my genuine XP loaded on the pc before I installed the 'upgrade' (how can you update a pc and run perfectly without the old version being loaded first (for example after a HD format) If you are then obliged to have an older version Windows on the machine to activate it first?)
What I want to know is: if I have the legitimate windows of the keys (Win XP and Win 7 Ult) is there a way I can get windows 7 (currently load and operation) activated WITHOUT having to wipe everything on the HD, load win xp and then 'upgrade' to win 7 all over again?
NB: the pack Win 7 did not state it's an upgrade only.

You could try the activation of the phone and explain your situation, but they will probably tell you to first install a qualifying operating system.

How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
 
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
 
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
 
(3) select your "country" in the list.
 
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
 
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
 
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

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.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade will allow an upgrade from Vista Home Premium x 64 to Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

    I bought a HP laptop with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 64 in April 08.  If I buy a Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade, SKU: GLC-00184, I'll be able to upgrade to windows 7 Home Premium x 64 or Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

    The http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7?T1=tab02 table seems to indicate that would be the case.  On the other hand, it does not seem logical that we could move from Vista Ultimate or vVsta HP to Win7 Ultimate for the same price.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Yes, you can make a place in Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate.

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Code GFC symbolizes the product depending on the location in most cases and in some cases, this has to do with the versions.

    The GFC-00019 is a commercial container 32 and 64-bit disk operating system version. TheGFC-00564 is a 32 bit OEM version. A commercial version can be installed on any computer. But always alone at the same time. But if you install on a computer (and then he got damaged without repair possible) and then I bought another you can install it on the new computer.

    An OEM copy can only be installed on computers. If this computer got far beyond repair that you can not use it again as with the retail version. You can install the OEM as many times as you like on the original computer.

    I have a question regarding the upgrade WIndows 7 Ultimate.

    Camera is one that does not work yet. Someone I think that said drivers XP will work with Windows 7. Can I try this.

    There is only one location. You remove the 1 GB module and replace it with a 2 GB module. It's the first thing I did with mine once the package has been delivered. I never ran it with 1 GB, so I can't comment on the improvement.

    See if your Bootcamp is actually the version 3 (right click - on Bootcamp) I did a system restore because I had just updated those drivers. But if you did when you got your Snow Leopard, you need to uninstall Bootcamp 3.0 in programs and features.  If you remember, when you loaded Windows Vista first you did not load Bootcamp until after installation has been completed.

    So to remove 3.0, restart, then try to install again.  Let us know how it went.

  • XP Mode/VPC does not start on Windows 7 Ultimate upgraded from Vista Ultimate box

    1 Dell Studio 1735

    2 initially loaded with 32 bit Vista Ultimate. Including one instance of VPC 2007 carrying a XP Pro Virtual Machine

    3 before moving on to 32-bit Windows 7 compatibility check was done and recommended applications, including VPC 2007, have been uninstalled.

    4 Windows 7 upgrade was performed without incident or error and to end all applications and data were good.

    5 installed, strictly in accordance with the files of the web videos etc., XPMode, VPC and WindowsXPMode.  Once again without incident or error.

    6 in the execution either XPMode or VPC ago approximately 45 seconds of the busy HARD disk activity and then nothing.

    7 I have a backup image of the original disc loaded with Vista as it was before step 1, above, I have tried several variations on a theme whose hardware virtualization on and off the power, order of the file install etc. but nothing helps

    8 to prove the process and installation files, I did a clean load of Windows 7 then XPMode etc. on some old iron P4 and it worked a treat.  I'm actually surprised by not only it installed at all, but by the way it currently works on an area that was originally intended to spend the rest of his eternal life as a dump.

    My conclusion is that VPC 2007 uninstall is not clean; He leaves legacy shrapnel (register?) in the system which is farce VPC.  Note that the result is consistent on several uninstalls, step 7, above.

    Question; as the XPMode function is essential and will determine if a quantity of boxes are to move from Vista to Windows 7 where only once from here?
