• Can I use Dell original product key to activate a clean Windows installation after I have replace/upgrade motherboard, processor and other key components?

  I have a Dell computer, with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed in the factory. There is a product code for windows on the sticker on the box. My problem is that the motherboard and CPU are released. I intend to replace and update the motherboard failed and cpu, ram, power supply, optical drive and eventually put in a larger hard drive. From what I read, I can not simply start the machine with the original hard drive, with windows already installed and activated. So if I wipe the hard drive (or put it in a new), can I clean install Windows 7 and then just use the product key on the sticker on the box to activate the new installation? Or what I need to buy a new copy of Windows 7?

  I've also read on other threads, that you can "transfer" a license of Windows 7 on a different machine only if it is a "commercial" version, not OEM. If the version of Windows that is preinstalled on a Dell computer would be "retail" or "OEM"? And to reactivate the software on a rebuilt/updated machine up-to-date with the new motherboard, etc. would constitute a 'transfer to a new machine' or reactivation just on a computer upgraded?

  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

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  However - this is not your problem, as you have also a blocked for Office Enterprise Volume license key.
  This product is only sold to organizations with a large number of machines for use on machines only - if you bought it, then you sold counterfeit software and should demand a refund from the supplier. You will need to get legal, by uninstalling counterfeiting and then by installing a copy legal, purchased at a reputable shop.

• How can I use my valid product key XP Pro SP2 with my drive OEM XP Pro SP3 and still meet the requirements of Microsoft Genuine?

  I had to wipe my hard drive due to a battle lost by a virus. My installation of XP Pro SP2 disk disappeared, so I used my XP Pro SP3 OEM disc to install Windows. When I used my valid product key XP Pro SP2 I was shocked to receive an invalid product key. I always ran Microsoft Genuine product and would like to know how to reach a genine advantage accreditation with my present prediciment. Any help would be appreciated and we thank you in advance.

  Hi KevinDitner,
   
  I'm afraid, but you can't do that. Your product key Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) should be used only for the laptop which came with it.
   
  You can get the CD of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2) by contacting the Support team customer Microsoft.

• How to reinstall windows 8 in new HARD drive using the old product key?

  Mr President.

  One of my clients purchased a new HP Envy 6 - 1150ex running integrated windows 8 64-bit a month ago. Unfortunately the HARD drive broke down by the improper use and must be replaced. I replaced the HARD drive, but I can't find the product key original of the laptop unless you have small windows on the laptop sticker. given that I don't have the recovery for the same model disk how can I install the genuine windows 8 manually by using the product key? where can I find the product key?  Please help me.

  Kind regards

  Yoyo

  Hello

  Should be no problem at all if you use the version of Windows 8 EVEN because the product key is now embedded in the BIOS of the machine. The process is to get the right installation of Windows 8 media (DVD, USB, downloaded file) and then install on your client computer. No label/sticker more for all new machines with Windows pre-installed 8.

  Please see the following link for more information.

• Is it possible that I can use at the back of my machine product keys to activate a Windows XP SP3 as a copy authentic?

  real operating system

  I bought 8 computers to set up an Internet Café which is windows xp professional authentic, one day, I was attacked by a power serge that crashed all my hard drives in the computers and had nothing to recovery... I replaced all the hard drives and surprisingly enough my original CD with the real BONES has a lot of scratches and can install the operating system. The version I have is only SP3 and is not authentic. I always authentic labels with product keys of the defective operating system stuck in each of the computers. Is it possible that I can use the product keys for SP3 as a copy is authentic?

  You need get the good one, the CORRESPONDENT XP installation CD.

  So, if all COA stickers indicate an OEM version of Windows XP Pro (MS level does not count), so if you can get a real GENERIC OEM Windows XP Pro installation CD (MS level does not count), simply use the product key on the COA sticker.
  You say that the version available is "not true." Because I don't know what you have, with the exception because it is not a true generic OEM XP Pro installation CD, I recommend that you do NOT use. Although hard to find, there are reputable dealers who sell this authentic CD. You can also borrow one from someone you know. Alternatively download the file .iso for him, but ONLY if YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO! Fortunately there are values of hash MD5 and SHA1, published online to verify that you have the right pair. But if you don't know what you're doing, you could very well end with something that's plagued malware!

• Can I use Vista Upgrade product key on the SAME machine?

  I upgraded my Vista Home Premium to XP media Center computer, and now my computer runs very slowly.  I have 1 GB of RAM, but isn't enough for Aero?  So... what I really do is to perform a new installation to refresh my computer, but I can do after already using my key product upgrade once? (Now I have an external HARD drive to back up my data... I didn't when I upgraded).  The new facility will be used with the same upgrade DVD and product key, and it will be used on the SAME machine.  This is allowed, or vista become inactive and I lose Vista completely?

  Yes you can reinstall Windows Vista by using the Windows Vista Upgrade activation disk works perfectly. Make sure you have your 25-digit product key.

  Also, make sure that you have installed once are not dual boot.

  My advice is that you bring a new installation with Service Pack 1 disc as shown here:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.aspx

  Follow the instructions for installation, as in this case:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3327.aspx

  Please note that the guide is basis of Dell, F12 can be a different key on your machine and you need to get your site system drivers from your computer manufacturer Web but most of the others in the guide apply to all windows based computers.
