Are there differences between Windows 7 OEM and the commercial full version?

Commercial versions include two disks installing 32 and 64 bits and can be moved to new systems.

OEM versions are either 32 or 64-bit - only installation disc is included - and cannot be moved to a new system.

  • What is the difference between Windows 7 OEM and the retail version of Windows 7?

    Can someone tell me, what is the difference between windows 7 OEM and sales vs retail?

    There is no difference in the product itself.

    Although if you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the
    even software, it has the following disadvantages compared to the
    commercial version:

    1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is
    that its license it permanently binds to the first computer, it is
    installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold,
    or given (except with the original computer). If the computer
    dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

    2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

    3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
    with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
    OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
    You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.

  • What is the difference between Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail

    I have a laptop with Windows 7 and 'Windows Live Mail account'.   It seems to work very well! About 11 months later, I bought a desktop computer with Windows 7 and I tried and tried to get this computer to the top in the same way, but with a different e-mail account.  Whenever I try to set up mail, it always comes back with Windows Live HotMail.  My question is: is there a difference between accounts "Windows Live Mail" and "Windows Live Hotmail?"  If there is a difference, why can't I created a NEW Windows LIve Mail account on my new desktop computer if I use an email 'different '?

    Internet service provider (ISP) - those that you get your Internet from.

    Email Service Provider - the people who provide you your e-mail services (usually can be understood by your email address - as @hotmail.com, Hotmail/Windows Live Mail or @gmail.com average Google mail...) Etc.

    Email Client - the application on your computer that you use to send and receive email from your provider.  Could be Microsoft Outlook (all versions), Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, or you can simply use Internet Explorer/Firefox/Safari/opera and so on to connect to the web interface of your e-mail Service provider and consult your emails in this way.

  • What is the difference between Windows 8 'PRO' and 'Full Version '?

    I'm honestly confused, "what the hell". In the online store, I see both versions without any explanation of what's what. Microsoft make it easier on us?

    Full version means generally that the included DVD can be used to install Windows on a drive to empty.  Should not have an earlier version of Windows before installing this new version of Windows.

    Pro is the 'more' advanced version of Windows 8.  It will be provided more features in Windows 8, as the connection to a real Windows Server.  It would also get the 'free' Windows 8 Media Center key, which will allow you to use a tuner TV with your Windows 8.

  • Difference between bookmarks per Page and the anchor icons

    Hello

    I use InDesign each year to update a large guide.  I had sort of teach me how to use this software, but since I don't use not all year, I forgot things.  One of them has to do with my favorites.  I noticed that all my favorites have an icon of the page, but it has an icon of the anchor, like this:

    indesign1.JPG

    First of all, what is the difference between them?   And second, every time I update the Table of contents, anchor moves where I nested it all the way to the top of the bookmarks, right under the Table of contents, as follows:

    indesign2.JPG

    Anyone know why this is happening?  I think it has to do with the fact that this particular section is not explicitly listed in the Table of contents, but I don't want to have a bookmark for it.  But I would like to embed the bookmark in the right position, what is shown in the first image in this post.  Could someone help me this?  Thank you!

    I think that I thought about it.  First of all, most of the bookmarks have was probably generated by the table of contents itself.

    In terms of changing a bookmark of anchor text to a bookmark of the page, I realized that I had to get out the block of text, simply use the selection on the page and then create a new bookmark.

    So I did, and now all of my icons are pages in the bookmarks bar.  However, whenever I update the table of contents, he always puts this bookmark immediately under the table of contents.  I think this behavior is because this particular bookmark (called sweeps Dates) is not actually included in the table of contents (by design).  I have it in a different style to make the table of contents is not picking it up.  But I guess since the table of contents generates all the other favourites, it sorts the update and then put just created this maually bookmark "Balaie les Dates" below, above the rest of the bookmarks.

    If there is a case, I don't know if there is a work around specific to this situation.  It could be one of these minor idiosyncrasies that I'll have to deal with.  It is not a big problem to have to move whenever I update the table of contents, and I mostly just try to improve my understanding of InDesign in asking about this behavior.

  • Difference between file system capacity and the capacity of the disks in Capacity Planner reports

    Hello

    I had to go on my Capacity Planner tool training soon, but I have a question on the front that frustrates me. In the evaluation report that comes out of the tool after the analysis, a use of disc section, which lists all the servers for analysis there. A column of this report is directed to file system capacity, another disk capacity. In all cases, the first is less than the latter. What is the exact meaning of these labels?

    Some of the numbers differ substantially between the columns, for example 20 GB for a capacity of 36 GB of disk space for a server and file system. He said that only 20 GB to 36 GB disk is formatted/partitioned to use?

    As previously stated:

    Disk capacity is 36 GB - physically, there are 36 GB of storage.

    File system is logical capacity - the amount of space used by files on the disks.

    File system and the capacity of the disks will never match because fees General table of file.

    I hope this helps.

  • difference between Interactive Reporting (IR) and the reports of Production (PR)

    Could someone tell me the difference between IR and PR Version 9.3.1 or later if its important. My impression is that IR is used for ad hoc reporting, and PR is used for the production of regular reports. I believe you can also create reports that production of IR also, so I don't see where is the difference.

    Thank you
    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    PR or HYPERION SQR PRODUCTION REPORTING focus produces high quality reporting mass. The reports are designed and then demand by admins (or report developers), end users are generally not involved.

    IR or creation of INTERACTIVE REPORTING, HYPERION focuses on ad-hoc data analysis. IR can be put in place to enable end users to modify queries for the purpose of analysis and output then reports or dashboards.

  • Are there differences between the new 40 "W600B HD TV and a Costco sells Model # W590B?

    You want to buy this TV at Costco for $20 less. I was wondering if anyone knows if there are differences, large and small, in the 600 vs the 590? They seem to be the same in the literature.

    If they are the same, I always wondered why Costco and other big-box retailers have their own model numbers?

    They should be the same or almost identicle big box retailers often have exclusive model numbers to protect them from price matching, or sometimes to add or remove certain elements of their price and specifications.
