• Can I sell my copy of Windows Vista retail?

  Hi, I have a full commercial copy of Windows Vista.  Having just upgraded to Windows 7 I would like to sell my copy of Vista.

  My installation of Vista was activated several times (I tend to reinstall my OS frequently enough).  It is no longer installed on any machine anywhere.

  What should I take special measures (e.g. to inform Microsoft) until I sell on my copy of Vista?  Or I'm ok just sell what with drive, box, manual, and CD key?

  Hi Kaporikawn,

  Thanks for posting. If you preferred the full versions of these two media you can sell the license to someone else. They call activation to finish it however.

  I hope this helps!

• Lost my previous operating system. How can I install my copy of Windows XP upgrade with an earlier version of Windows?

  update of XP without previous version

  apologies if this has been posted before,

  I think I threw my windows Millennium cd and now I want to fresh install my xp pro Upgrade on a new drive and cant

  so, what can I do?

  Hello

  (1) what is the brand and model of your computer?

  (2) was Windows Millennium Edition preinstalled on your computer?

  If you want to upgrade to Windows XP, then you must perform a full factory restore and install Windows Millennium Edition on your computer. After that you can upgrade to Windows XP.

  Note: Perform a factory restore can cause data loss. You can save the data to a CD or external hard drive for data recovery.

  Contact the manufacturer of your computer and ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your laptop / desktop to restore it to factory settings. See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  If you want to upgrade from Windows ME to Windows XP, then check out this help article.

  You have installed?  Which means that you went down and bought Windows XP all by himself in a retail establishment and it is a retail license, not a cheaper OEM license?

  I asked a tech savvy friends to help me buy. He brought me a real CD, a product with COA and a manual Win XP key (they came sealed) and reception. It cost me about $160 (actually 7800 Indian rupees). I still have the COA product key, hologrammed CD sticker.

  The CoA sticker wasn't on the hard plastic case?  Sounds like an OEM version - which once installed is "linked" to this computer/motherboard.

  Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

  Hello Bob w. NY

  Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

  As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

• Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  Upgrade/license transfer

  I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

  If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

  Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

  How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

  Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

• Can I install a copy of Windows 7 retail and use the OEM key that came with my system to activate it?

  I bought asus n55sf notebook, The OEM OS (Windows 7 Home Premium) it comes preinstalled without any image or cd and I want to ask to download an original copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from microsoft using the key provided with the laptop

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  Another option:

• Where can I get a copy of Windows 7 Pro OEM x64bit .iso?

  Hello world

  I had some problems with my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad - still under warranty) and decided to format the hard drive and reinstall the OS.

  Since I bought it with the operating system referred to above, I have the license for the OEM version.

  About a month a go, I found this thread , followed the instructions and everything worked well until now.

  Now (about a month after that everything is fine) I get this message that my copy is not genuine.

  I tried to give the keys of my license and I get this error message: 0xc004f063:

  "The software licensing service reported that the computer BIOS is missing a required license.

  I read somewhere that the apparent reason for this is that I have probably installed a commercial version rather than the OEM version.

  So where can I get a copy of the OEM version for win7 Prox64?

  I could address the support of Lenovo but the they charge a lot of money to spare, even if the machine is still under warranty.

  An ISO OEM would not make a difference, detail of the installed support can be used with OEM key as long as it's the same edition.

  Try the following and then try the activation of the phone;

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any breach of integrity

  Restart your system

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)

  (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
   
  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• Can I use my copy of Windows 7 on my wife's PC?

  N ° N ° rule is clear enough. It is a copy (or a license) for
  each computer.

  There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
  effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

  No, you can't do that, they must not be resold.

  On MSDN or TechNet, and media licenses.

  They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else.

• How can I fix "this copy of windows is not genuine" build 7601, windows 7

  There are many moons, I decided to download windows 10, I didn't like it and came back to windows 7.  I got this in the bottom right of my screen, "this copy of windows is not genuine" build 7601.

  I looked on this site and found that everything I had to do was, go to start, type cmd, by ensuring that its in the administration, then I type SLMGR - REARM - but I got a dialog box displays indicating "has exceeded the maximum number of rearm, you must reinstall the OS before trying to rearm again."

  I do not know what is the OS, and how is he said I reset too often when I don't?

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
  Once downloaded, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
  Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.
