Computer of Windows 8 format using Windows 7 Ultimate retail disc.

My laptop was stolen.  It had Windows 7 installed, from a Windows 7 Ultimate retail disc I bought.

If I buy a new laptop, with Windows 8 is installed, can I use this Windows 7 Ultimate retail disk, to format the new laptop and install Windows 7?

David, you need to use the phone activation to reactivate on your new laptop:

  • I bought windows 7 ultimate retail version, but my computer recognizes it as OEM version.

    Hello

    As I wrote, my computer recognized new window 7 ultimate retail.

    Is this possible?

    and MS CS said it's the OEM pre-installed version, but I just installed with the new computer.

    I don't understand how that's possible.

    I just click that activation then she recognized as OEM.

    sample number is lower.

    *****-OEM-*******-*****

    This means OEM?

    and I tried to download windows 7 to make it bootable USB, but it has an error that this key is pre-installed key. So I need to contact the manufacturer. But my computer is assembled by myself.

    How is that possible?

    Someone had the same problem?

    Thank you.

    Looks like you might have bought an OEM System Builder License.

    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.

    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.

  • Authenticity of used / second-hand copy of Windows 7 Ultimate retail

    Greetings.  So, I wanted to buy a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Ultimate retail.  It seems that it is no longer available new, leaving me to buy a copy of used / pre-owned.  (Are BTW there other options?)

    I found a seller in private through the Amazon and looked as close as possible to the Internet. all the evidence strongly suggests that it is a reliable seller with an established reputation, a copy in good faith used the marketing software.  So I paid a reasonable price and received the product, including complete packaging that you would expect to find in a store, with all the certificates and product keys and hologrammed DVD and everything else looking as it should.

    This morning, I installed the Win7 and activated the installation with the key of product without any difficulty.  Then I found some verification page somewhere in "authentic" microsoft.com, I don't remember the URL exactly right now, but it downloads a few small .exe, whereupon the reports page entirely installation that it is authentic.

    Then I found the utility to produce the report "diagnosis." the content of this I'm going to paste below down.  The "292" in the product ID seems not to be a MSDN key, as I see it frequently reported here; can anyone confirm that these figures correspond to a retail copy bought in the United States through normal legitimate channels?

    I saw very many reports of MSDN product keys sold with retail packing counterfeit, but this doesn't seem to be what I have?

    Also, I've seen no reports of normal retail licenses copied or sold several times, so it does not seem likely to me?

    Anyone got any comments on that?  I am in the window where I could return this software for a refund, but I see no evidence that this copy is far from authentic and legitimate.

    Is it possible to call Microsoft and have them give no explanation as to how many times a certain license had been activated before?

    All advice and information is welcome!

    Thank you-

    -dave

    Hello

    No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?

    If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.

    All data are lost when you do the above.

    And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.

    They do that for a small fee:

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  • Do I have to re install Windows 7 Ultimate Retail Version over the current version of Windows 7 Ultimate OEM "Trial"?

    I have an old PC which worked fine with Windows XP on it. I wanted to continue to consider using it with Windows 7 (instead of buying a new machine).

    So my friend gave me a copy of the version of Windows 7 Ultimate (OEM) to try to see if the machine was worth keeping (i.e. good performance with my critical apps loaded on this subject).  Using this version, I was able to switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 using a clean installation. I have re-installed critical applications to check performance with the new operating system.  I was impressed (and happy) so I decided to purchase a licensed copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. I finally found a great offer and bought a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (Full/Retail - not OEM) with the required activation key via the Internet (to be delivered next week).

    My question is: since I now have the version of Windows 7 Ultimate (OEM) already installed on my machine, I will have to perform another clean installation when my Windows 7 Ultimate retail version coming? I would really not all over again. I would like to simply enter the Activation Code of the version of Windows 7 Ultimate (Full-detail) when it arrives. What is the best way to reach my goal?

    I know that with the OEM, the product key of Windows 7 license is attached to the motherboard.  So when I change, Win 7 Pro license will be lost.  Since I want to be able to transfer the license of Windows 7 to one MOBO to another, I bought a full commercial version of ultimate.

    My question is this.  To upgrade the Pro OEM ultimate retail, it's just a matter of changing the product key on the screen of the system property and the new product key will launch the installation of missing features to Windows 7 Pro?

  • How to downgrade my computer from windows 7 ultimate to home premium

    I currently have a final non-genuine Windows 7 installed, but I have a product key genuine home premium. I tried to enter the product key, but I get an error, what should I do?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello jorenhuysegoms,

    If your PC comes with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed the manufacturer or another is provided with a DVD (which, in your case, they have not) or even your PC has an image of the operating system on a partition of your hard drive.

    If you check your partition structure (Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management) you should see a partition marked "System reserved." This is the partition that contains the Windows image.

    When you first got the PC, if you have followed the manufacturer's instructions, you must have created a recovery disk. This will help you to re - install your copy of Windows 7 Home premium. Search the site for PC manufacturers to 'restore PC back to factory conditions. This will tell you how to begin the restore process and restore your PC to the State wherever it was when you first purchased your PC.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

    Remember, if it is a retail upgrade license:

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    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 upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    You can skip to enter the product key and try the activation of the phone to work around this problem.
