back to vista from a non-genuine copy of windows 7

• Can I put a non-genuine copy of windows to a genuine copy of Windows 8 Pro?

  Now before anyone starts to judge I want to give some context as to what happened.

  I bought the upgrade Windows 8 Pro pack which was a student offered to host my new hybrid hard drive. I installed on my previous Vista hard drive and I noticed that I was required to install the pack to upgrade the disk with a previous version of Windows. Therefore, I decided install Windows 8 Pro Vista hard disk and clone new hard disk.
  The cloning went perfectly. However, when I entered the hard drive containing the Windows 8 Pro clone, it did not allow my turn and in Device Manager it does appear that the system. There is also a Build number located at the bottom right of my desktop screen. Think I should reinstall windows from scratch, I proceed to the real system command (the one containing Vista previously which is now upgraded to Windows 8 Pro) and decided to reinstall windows in the control panel and wipe all readers.
  I quickly realized that this is a mistake, because when I boot into the previously-Vista drive, reinstalling Windows 8 became a trial version instead (with XXXX to build lower-right again). In regards to the cloned drive, the error starting screen (that require you to reinstall windows because of lack of boot configurations).
  I lost the disc Vista it long time ago and I don't have the box of windows with me more. I copy down the so-called activation key but it's one with xxxxx-OEM-xxxx. Before this script together, under my computer properties, the product key seems to be forever in a State of "2 days before automatic activation" and when I click on it, he said: I'm unable to activate this product key.
  So that being said, I was wondering if I could just download and run a picture of a non-genuine copy of Windows in order to start a new installation (ie. choose with windows installation disk and reformat the drive containing the windows build demo).
  Thank you.

  I just decided to hell with it and contacted Microsoft technical support for assistance.

  Managed to activate my windows and things work fine now.
  Thanks for the comments without worrying about all of you who responded and sorry for taking your time.

• Buy this CD XP Pro will give me a product key that I can use to authenticate a non-genuine copy of Windows XP?

  My father-in-law has an old PC running Windows XP Pro SP2.  The PC itself is not among the major manufacturers and has had so many bits of kit has changed over the years (HD, motherboard, CD/DVD) that what it says on the tour is more accurate!  Some freelance computer programmer he updated this from Windows 98, and it ran fine until that MS has started running this configuration of authentication, when he discovered that he had a copy of dud (new for him, as he had been charged for a good!)  Obviously, he'd make his valid on the MS site copy, but that's all an expensive route - his PC is less value that they would him deducted, and it is shared as to whether it's bin and buy a new computer... but since he does whatever he wants, and it would be embarrassing to share, he would prefer just to fix this.

  I came across this on Ebay, which seems to offer a play version of XP Pro, for a price considerably lower than MS would charge him.

  http://CGI.eBay.co.UK/window-XP-Professional-win-Pro-SP3-full-OEM-Version_W0QQitemZ330389402931QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_Software_Software_SR?hash=item4cecbe3533

  Is it possible to make its valid copy of XP thanks to this road without HAVING to re - install using the new disc?  I ask because, despite read a lot of entries here, I still don't know fully the implications of retail vs OEM drives, and indeed, I've seen a few rows erupted between experts on the Board about how it's important.  And if it works in principle, it is important that the drive for sale contains the SP3 and it is still on SP2 (because he can't use WIndows Update because it has not got a genuine copy!)?

  Hoping you can help.

  By changing the product key in your OEM version licensing all the means that you have installed on this PC.

• My non-genuine copy of windows 7 came not not ebay but Fry Electronics in Concord California... They are scammers too, look at you Microsoft, not their small business.

  Same problem as thousands of other customers, I bought Windows 7 in a sealed box from Microsoft, not eBay, but Fry Electronics in Concord, Ca., nothing anywhere on a 3 month license, after 6 months the pop Pinault up begins.  Someday someone will come up with a viable alternative to Windows and the way that you intimidate your customers, what will be the end of Microsoft and all their little unpaid helpers! FIX IT!

• Windows Vista (TM) Build 6001 this copy of Windows is not genuine

  I tried to connect to the internet, the screen went black and when she came back on everything on the screen has been expanded. Then, I changed my laptop, using the power button. When I switched back on it the "Windows Vista (TM) Build 6001 this copy of Windows is not genuine" message appeared in the lower right corner of the screen, and all the icons on the desktop had been rearranged - with a few missing. I no longer seem to have the suite Microsoft Office applications on my laptop and I can't connect to the internet. Several other tools on Vista work is more (including the 'Research' in the Start Menu tool). Please note that I had my laptop for about 18 months and it came pre-installed with a 'Real' copy of Vista Home Premium Operating System, I had no problem with the operating system before this appearance. After reading other threads on the forum, I have downloaded and run the 'real diagnostic tool' recommended.

• Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine

  I have a legitimate copy of windows and Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine recently popped up in the corner of my screen after that avast did some antivirus stuff from the start of my PC. Like I said that my OS is genuine, I still click Properties on computer law and he still has my product id and the next thing to tell him that it is authentic. If anyone can help please do.

  Too bad he decided to disappear when I re start my PC again.

• had my computer for 4 years and now bed screen Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of windows is not genuine?

  Screen reads Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of windows is not genuine.

  I had this for 4 years and no computer has ever seen this. I'm on anyway by clicking on "Activate later."

  All the 'Help' forums I see suggest retype the product key. The sticker on my computer has a series of 20 characters of 5 letters and then 15 numbers without dashes or breaks.

  When I retype it, on the second character (letter) he stops because the field says "invalid character": he wants a number when my product has letters.

  In the system when I go to start. Computer. Properties of the system. He also says that I need to activate and has a product ID number with numbers and letters (5 numbers-3 letters-7 digit numbers 5) - but that doesn't work either. I don't know what product key to use because the two seem invalid now or my computer does not allow me to type the right pair...

  so far.

  All the advice give me links that do not work, such as:

   

  Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic tool

   

  link does NOT-work window starts then disappears

   

  http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52012 this does NOT work either...

  Help!

  Because my computer is more than 3, I can not yet ask questions by phone. Each application number for my service code that crashes then upwards on me are not covered...

  Thanks for any help-i'm mystified as to how this could happen right now. I have not downloaded new programs recently...

  I'm afraid to try to uninstall because I don't want to lose my itunes or personal files...

  I guess I need to just unplug and get a flashlight, because I easily see not no sticker on my computer with that type of number... it seems crazy that the number is not available otherwise.

  If the worst comes to the worst and you have a vista OS preinstalled, Dell, HP or whatever, you do not say, contact the manufacturer of your machine and ask them to send you a set of vista recovery disc and reinstall the operating system to how you bought your machine

  normally, these recovery disks do not require an input key product on your part

  and they do it for a nominal cost of $

  ________________________________________________________

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  and the same thing applies to that too; No product key entry required by you

• After I downloaded beta Security Essentials, my computer say suddenly that he was not a genuine copy of Windows running and locked up.

  original title: the customer service is horrible

  After I downloaded beta Security Essentials, my computer say suddenly that he was not a genuine copy of Windows running and locked up.

  I called last night and got a foreign person has attempted to resolve the issues and could not, so he told me that I had to call back after 06:00 to speak to someone in the United States.
  So I called back today at 06:00 and got one of those who are running around things voice control that didn't fix my problem at all. After much effort, I got a live person. Again, it was a foreign person (why make me wait all night and get up early to call?!?!)
  This woman told me to restart. I told her that I had rebooted about 10 times since the day before and each time he took forever to load back up the box that tells me that I need to activate windows. She has reiterated, "I ask you to restart." I knew he wouldn't do ANYTHING, but I did and after the session it forever (as I told him it would be) she told me that I had to remind once I got up the box again. I called after that I got the box AND HAD TO START OVER again ONCE with someone new. Of course, she was trying to pass me to someone else.
  Of course, after all this trouble, no MS sells a product key for Vista, it is abandoned. So I need to go buy Windows 7 and she told me that I'll LOSE EVERYTHING when I install it - all my documents and family photos are gone forever. Why not take my money and sell me a product key instead of let me in trouble?
  The worst ever undertaken. Of course, MS doesn't care because they have a monopoly.

  You should not need to buy anything except the recovery disc for your machine (if the built-in recovery partition does not work), unless you really need Win 7 for some reason any.

  That being said - the COA sticker on your machine is readable? If Yes, then you should have no problem with a Windows 7 upgrade version - but you will need to either use activation by phone, or installation methods described here...

• where to buy a genuine copy of windows 7?

  beside amazon.com since they receive ridiculous with prices of windows 7

  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium $248,99

  you are fk kidding me?

  so they can't even guarantee that what you buy from them is actually authentic
  and from the amazon comments, it seems that a lot of people get off rip
  dishonest sellers who like to advertise fake copy of windows 7
  with a home activation key stickers

  I wonder if there are other legitimate places online
  where can I buy a genuine copy of windows 7
  carefree scammed or receive a phone call from the FBI for using counterfeit software

  What of it?

  You can visit CDW.com, Tiger Direct and new eggs.

  You should give up on the retail packaging, because they will carry a premium.

  OEM packages are recommended.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  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

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.
