already purchased windows 7 sp1, I'm not a System Builder now what?

Do I the OPK, or can I go ahead and install it without all this stuff of OPK? It's my 1st generation and I am the end user.

Nothing prevents you to use an OEM System Builder License, but it does come with some license restrictions. There is no need to install the OEM preinstallation kit if you use it for yourself.

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

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. They are, therefore, designed for installation only on a single computer and are not transferable, even if the original computer is no longer in use. This isn't usually a problem for users who buy a new computer, because systems that most pre-assembled systems ship with a preinstalled operating system. There are very few circumstances where Microsoft will allow the transfer of licensed OEM for a non-functional system to another, but the OEM System Builder License Agreement (SBLA), as well as the EULA (EULA) OEM contract don't contain any provision for this, it is entirely at the discretion of Microsoft, depending on the situation

  • Upgrade in Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional by using the OEM System Builder Pack

    I built a computer and initially installed Windows 7 Home Premium using an OEM System Builder Pack. Now, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. I have a new OEM System Builder Pack for Windows 7 Professional. How can I do this without losing the files, data, documents, etc., and I can put this copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on another computer? It is a personal computer only. Thank you.

    Unfortunately, you will need to do an install custom, which means that your applications and drivers will need to be reinstalled.

    If you want to keep your personal files, you can use the custom installation of the configuration to do:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Update that installs get Windows 10 app Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 SP1 KB3035583 is NOT hidden

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 SP1, and because my computer is a netbook (small laptop) with only 2 GB maximum installable RAM, I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10.

    Nor do I want to find that I have any nagging application on my computer, which I find I become obliged often to answer, in order to re - hide the app.

    I have therefore configured as Windows Update settings:

    'Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them '

    I then "Hid" update KB3035583,

    and also confirmed that he had been placed in the: dialog "restore hidden Updates.

    I haven't used the system restore from the cache to update KB3035583,

    Yet it often reappears in the list of the optional updates available for installation,

    and then I have to hide it again!

    When KB3035583 reappears in the list of the optional updates, it also is more listed in the dialog box "restore hidden Updates", yet the other updates that I've previously hidden, remain in this dialog box.

    This problem only seems to affect KB3035583.

    This problem is normal?

    Any correction is likely?

    Is there a way to fix this?

    I hope to hear from anyone with a solution.

    Kind regards

  • 2 bad clusters... Backup restore Microsoft does not work... now what

    My dv4 windows 7 SP1 has 2 bad clusters. CHKDSK replaced both of them.  Gdiplus.dll and motccg.inf.  The Microsoft backup will not save or restore my backup of Microsoft because of these bad clusters.  Can I use my full Windows7 install disc - not a restore disc and solve this problem?

    Not sure why I made backups of Microsoft if they don't restore because of these bad clustgers, but it is the State that I am now.

    I replace the hard drive and use HP restore disks to reinstall Windows.

    Back up your important data to an external storage device, the hard disk may fail completely, and you will lose everything.
