After the upgrade the OS of Windows 10 of Windows 8.1, I compared the product key Windows 10 and BIOS OEM key and what I have discovered, is that the two are different.

• How to get windows using my oem product key

  Hello

  I got windows 7 preinstalled on my computer, I formatted it

  I need windows disk via my oem product key please tell me how

  Hello

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 retail product key, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a small fee, if it is still available.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.

• I have a virus that cannot be deleted. I want to reformat the drive, but I don't know how to clean my computer. Will this remove the virus, or simply write about it? also is there a way to erase and start over.

  Windows has identified a virus that cannot be deleted. reformatting will solve this problem? also wiping my own comouter solve this problem or just to write about it. Is there an online tool to clean my computer... more, after that how do I reinstall windows

  Try AVG and Avast free programs to find and fix the problem. In the future, these two will warn you if the malware is a download.  If this does not work, try the highjackthis program.  It will save a log that can be used by sites for free assistance to correct your problem.

  I would NEVER erase the hard drive!  I've been SP since its release and have have 60 programs on my computer.

• Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.

  Hello

  I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop.  The HARD drive failed and the system unusable.  I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media.  The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.

  The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid.  I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.

  I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  you use an OEM SLP key that only works with the manufacturers recovery media.

  change the product key to that on computers of COA
  Click Start, type slui3, press ENTER.

  Additional information:

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  When you upgrade to 8.1 Windows it will replace your Windows 8.0. The only way I know to have both is to buy a copy of Windows 8.1 and install on another partition or drive.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  I have Photoshop CS4 and I need to reinstall from CD after a computer crash and reinstall Windows 7 but it will not reinstall.

  This could be to uninstall because it used entirely from the control panel of Windows 7.  Can anyone help?

  Uninstall what you can the normal way via the Control Panel, and then use the CS cleanup tool.  Then try to reinstall. You might want to try an installation download rather than the disc if it continues to fail.
