Aspire S5 purchase license OEM Windows 8

Hello

I just bought an Aspire S5 who installed Windows 7.

Is it possible to purchase a license for the version OEM Acer (Aspire S5) of Windows 8, which is preinstalled on the S5?

I want to have all applicable drivers and all the Acer programs installed at the same time when I do a new installation/recovery.

I don't want to get first a regular update of Windows 8 I'll always install Windows 7 and then make an additional upgrade.

Thank you.

Acer is unable to sell a license for Windows.

Unfortunately, the only way to get the OEM of Windows 8 charge would be to buy a preinstalled system with Windows 8.

  • License OEM Windows 7 Professional 32-bit come with downgrade rights to XP Professional?

    If I buy a copy of (System Integrator) OEM Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit, does include downgrade rights to Windows XP Pro?

    I build essentially the individual PCs for personal use and small businesses; However, I have a client who seeks PCs 35 at point of sale that will have access to a central server.  Although I recommended the use of XP mode in Windows 7, my customer has been informed by its supplier of software that XP Pro is the best option for the current version of the software.

    Although I could purchase copies of XP Pro OEM, my concern is that - during the life cycle of these PCs - my client will have to migrate to Windows 7, as new versions of its software point of sale are available.  If possible, I would like the opportunity to buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, installation of XP Pro with downgrade rights and later have the ability to change to Windows 7 without having to purchase new licenses.  Is it an option if I buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses?

    Also, I need 35 licenses for a single customer, volume licenses would be more cost-effective?  My current Windows 7 Pro OEM or Windows XP Pro OEM price is about $ 150 per license.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Yes, a version of Windows 7 Professional OEM rights to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.  Volume license is not a scheme of licensing "for resale.

    Hello

    I need some real tips on Windows license manager that I don't want to go against all Microsoft software license.

    As a backdrop, I have the following:

    -an OEM Windows 7 Pro that came with the purchase of a Dell PC

    -a license in Volume Windows 8 with Software Assurance purchased by my company

    I would like to know if I can install the copy of the OEM Windows 7 Pro in a virtual machine on the Dell PC, while having a Windows Installer on the physical PC/computer Dell 8.1. i.e. physical Machine Dell PC = Windows Enterprise 8.1; Virtual machine in the same Dell PC is Windows 7 Pro OEM.

    I don't want to do a dual boot to install because it will be difficult to remove once my 3rd party applications fully supports Windows 8.1; and I also want to keep my PC as clean as possible. I also can't use one of the Open License of Windows 8 as a lower upgrade to Windows 7 as this installation will take another license to use.

    I read from the windows 7 EULA that:

    'Use with Virtualization Technologies. Rather than use the software directly on the licensed computer, you can install and use the software within the virtual (or emulated) only on the licensed computer system... »

    I was wondering that the clause applies, but I don't know if the OEM Windows 7 Pro can be activated on a virtual machine because I don't have the OEM product key.

    It's the same clause I was going to paste attesting that you can install the license OEM Windows 7 in a VM.


    In addition, since you have Windows Enterprise 8.1, you can use the built in Hyper-v:

    Windows 8 integrates into hypervisor called Hyper-V.

    This requires that your processor supports the translation of the secondary addresses.

    To see if your processor is supported:

    Press the Windows key + X

    Click on programs and features

    Click on turn Windows features on or off

    See if you can check off Hyper-V and all its options of void

    If this isn't the case, it does not support Hyper-v.

    You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

Does this mean that boot from a Windows CD, reformatting and abandonment of any attempt to install the operating system on CD (so that the reader will be absolutely empty)? I note the license key or any other information of the computer has ('on' screen or elsewhere) before doing this? (I'm not talking about back up my data here).
