Bare metal 10 Windows Installer after the upgrade free on-site

I wanted to start a new thread on the specific problems with the reactivation of Windows 10 after obtaining your free upgrade by upgrade Win7 or Win8 on-site.

Someone has actually managed to make this work?

Have you taken steps to clone all parameters (such as the MAC address) of the upgrade virtual machine?

Have you had to call MS?

Please chime...

Someone in my organization wrote the following:

For what should be obvious reasons, Microsoft does not publish details of their activation. However, several of the VM (.vmx, hard) files contain several unique hardware ID such as Virtual NIC MAC addresses, serial numbers virtual HD, a bios UUID, etc, all these values can be read by the guest OS. We know that the serial numbers of equipment like these are used to generate the hardware hash that Microsoft uses to determine the identity of an activation system, although the exact algorithms are secret.

We also know that when you copy a virtual machine to a new location VMware Workstation will ask if it has been moved or copied. If you select 'Copy' it generates a new UUID news addresses MAC, etc. and the system requires reactivation because as Windows is concerned, it's a different system or a major change enough 'material' to qualify as such. If you select "I moved it", it doesn't generate a new hardware ID and the system remains activated.

I'll need backup/snapshot my VM activated prior to the test, but it goes without saying that the start of the install media (Microsoft has a tool to generate or download the ISOs) and shape (or diskpart own) the virtual drive before doing a clean install on a virtual machine enabled previously, as you would on a physical system they wanted to rebuild , will perform a clean installation of the virtual machine and allow a reactivation by license terms for Microsoft. Assuming that automatic resettlement activation works as Microsoft said, is installed on the same virtual hardware as long as you don't tell VMware to generate new material ID's

On the reverse, there is also this 'feature' 'factory reset' which also supposedly returns it to a 'clean install' state you said could be another possibility.

    I installed the windows 7 one instead of. In any case, I fixed that by closing the Task Manager installation program, that the I started the software in the start menu, and believe it or not, it worked great.

    This began immediately to FF5.0 installation after the upgrade to FF3.6.18. I uninstalled and reinstalled both 3.6.18 FF and FF 5.0: the old version connects to the web without problem, but FF5.0 never does. IE9 is able to connect properly.
    Thinking that my firewall software (McAfee) might get in the way of FF5.0, I uninstalled, but remained the connection problem.

  • After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 games installed in my laptop (Chainz, Cubis and Bejeweled, etc.) have bars on each side when displayed in full screen.

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire with a screen 16:9 wide (15.6 "), it has the latest graphic drivers ATI and all operating system updates.  After the upgrade to W7 (free upgrade with the purchase of the laptop) everything works wonderfully except all the games installed now not displayed in full screen, I get black bars on both sides, they used for Vista, but not with W7.

    I already tried different settings in the games options, administrator, resolutions screen different, being run in maximized 'Vista' and 'Run' mode of the file properties dialog box shortcut and .exe.  This happened without any security program installed that is not a factor.

    I am at a loss.

    This is to maintain the ratio l / h. It is how the images stretch. ATI no longer has the opportunity to play with the proportions for the sort of stuck like that unless you can find in your version of ATI Catalyst. It is in fact full screen as opposed to windowed mode, but it does not cover the entire screen.

    You can try different resolutions within the application to see if it will actually make your apps full screen to use the entire screen. That's all, remains to be done. I don't know why ATI has decided to exclude this option because some people hate the black bars or hate the stretched images.

  • Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

    The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
    I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

    I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

    This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

    QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

    The Media Center EULA States: «...» "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 you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

    (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

    Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)
    John

    You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

    And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

    That is right.

    Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

    His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

    I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

    I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

    The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

    Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

  • CVD reference is missing the installation of Windows 7 Image option in MIrage Client after the upgrade to 5.0 Mirage

    Prior to the release and the Mirage 5.0 upgrade, I had a CVD of reference created. I did 5 revisions to the Base layer on the MCV Ref. After each change, I clic click straight on Mirage Client icon, select Tools and then run "Installation of Image of Windows 7. Then I go back to the Console and capture a layer of existing base of CVD Ref. has worked like a charm.

    Since the upgrade to Mirage 5.0 and after the installation of the new client on the MCV Ref, the installation of Windows 7 Image tool is missing. If I try to capture the base in any case layer, it crashes. I checked the logs and he returns with "Execution dock could not be completed" and never captures the base layer.

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled the client on the MCV Ref.

    I have removed the Ref CVD of inventory and created again.

    Still cannot capture the base layer.

    The next thing im going to do is flatten the CVD Ref and available with a base previous output layer and see what happens.

    BTW, this happens on two Ref CVD I created. for example a team lead Ref CVD and another is a Call Center Ref CVD.

    any ideas?

    The only way I could get my MCV reference existing (before Mirage 5.0 upgrade), to capture a Base Layer (after changing new) without having to rebuild my reference Image from zero has been to Sysprep the machine and capture with WDS. I removed the Mirage customer before sysprepping. Then deleted the CVD the stock updated Ref waiting and then I rejected the device pending and removed from CVDs rejected.

    Then was to bring the return of WDS Sysprep image and install the Mirage Client and create a new MCV Ref. I made a few changes and was able to capture the base instantly layer. I will now do the same for the rest of my pre Mirage 5.0 Ref CVDs. I had 3 Ref CVD anyway. If they were not complex images, I would of just them rebuilt from scratch.

    I'm happy to finish with WDS, so much easier to make changes to the images on Mirage.

    Hope this helps someone else with the same number of "Execution of Shim failed to Complete" when revisions to images on Ref CVD after the upgrade to the Mirage Server 5.0

    This problem started immediately after the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) to Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit).  Again, I want to remind that I never had this problem before installing Windows 7.

    -After a reboot, I am presented with the impossible to connect the network indicator (yellow triangle with!) in the task bar.  (It was how I was welcomed after the installation of Windows 7 is said by the way).

    -The only way I found to regain connectivity is to uninstall and reinstall the network via the device manager card, date at which the computer always successfully connects and remains connected until the next reboot.
