• Upgrade oem 32-bit pc, convert Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, have no disks... have all the original documents.

  I have a Dell Vostro PC, with windows 7 32-bit professional.  I decided to rebuild the pc with a new motherboard, processor I-5 and addition of new 8 GB of ram.  I decided to upgrade the system to 64-bit, but initially never received a purchase from Dell OEM operating system.  I'm not moving this Windows operating system to another pc and have the information of the service tag and all the.    When I set up this unit, I would start with 64-bit performance.

  You can call Dell, but they will not help you. If swap you a Dell motherboard for whoever you bought in a computer store, so is no longer a Dell. The new motherboard will not have a Dell BIOS.

  The only way to get a better Dell is buying a complete computer. Dell will not go up or send you a motherboard uprated for your computer.

  Dell will sell you also not an installation disc Windows 7 generic either because they don't have any...

  Like it or not, and there have been some in the past who have supported the point with me, it's the motherboard that determines whether a product is a Dell or HP or whatever because the OEM motherboards contain BIOS OEM.

  Motherboards that you buy in a computer store will have a generic BIOS that will work with an integrator system or keycode retail version, but if you try to use a Dell OEM key code, it can register at the start. However, over time he throws himself as 'not genuine' because the keycode and the BIOS do not match...

  When a card mother OEM is scrapped for something better from a computer store, you're on your own with respect to the future. not only all of the computer, but also the installatiion of Windows. You must buy your own windows...

• is windows 7 x 64 support MBR & GPT two partition types

  is windows 7 x 64 support MBR & GPT two partition types

  Hi Afonso

  It can be used as a boot volume on x 64 editions of Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. From Windows Server 2003 SP1, GPT disks can also be used as a boot on Itanium-based systems volume.
  Note Windows only supports booting from a GPT disk on systems that contain startup packages Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).

  Creation of GPT disks

  You can only convert empty, no disks partitioned (raw disks or empty MBR disks) in the GPT format. To convert a volume that contains the data, you must first manually remove the partition. You can use the following methods to create GPT disks:
  After you install a new disk, open the disk management console to start a wizard that allows you to configure the new drive. The wizard includes options to initialize the MBR or GPT disk.
  Initialize the disk later by using the option initialize the disk in the disk management console.
  Note starting with Windows Vista, you can install a Windows x 64 on a GPT disk operating system, only if the computer has UEFI boot firmware installed. However, the installation of a Windows x 64 on a GPT disk operating system is not supported on Windows XP. Try to do so gives an error.
  Readers convert GPT and MBR

  You can convert a format of partition in a different format. For more information, see the TechNet articles:

  Title: Convert Compaq 7100 CMT from XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro.

  Hello everyone. The Windows XP Pro on my Compaq 7100 CMT is replaced with Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) using a system OEM disc that I bought in a PC shop. The computer is 3.2 GHZ Intel Pentium 4, 2 GB ram, HDD with a 320 GB Seagate 7200 RPM ATA serial / min. plug some additional computers, Compaq 7100, WCL PP255US, s/n system {removed privacy}, {removed from privacy} inventory number Council ch h 0968, bios hp 78 1 v01.05 16/06/2004. Physically disappears the 40 GB hard drive with XP Pro and the 320 GB drive (currently 1 player) will be used as drive 0 and Windows 7 Pro is installed. He probably won't be partitioned into two drives. A Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor report was generated for this computer, and is the main concern of this report, "virtualization technology is not supported, this PC does not support hardware virtualization assisted". As you know that this statement refers to the XP mode which is optional for Windows 7 Professional.  My question is what material makes this PC not support for virtualization technology, and this PC can be modified to support the necessary hardware. I'm a novice at this sort of thing so maybe I do not understand what that means here the report. In addition, another concern of mine is how will the PC really run Windows 7, it will be too slow for example. I would appreciate your help and comments.

  Thank you

  Hey, Oscar:

  There is no processors VT supported for the dc7100, so activation of VT in this machine is not going to happen.

  If you have integrated Intel card, is not entirely Windows 7 or Vista capable.

  Here is the link to a graphic driver for laptop that will allow the graphics acceleration and a change in screen resolution, but you won't have Aero under any circumstances.

  You download and run the install file. It will be the error. Close the error window.

  You will need to manually install the driver by clicking on the VGA adapter in Device Manager. Click on update driver driver. Select travel it my computer for the software method and navigate to C:\SWSetup\sp34749. Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and the driver should install.

  Otherwise, you can buy a video card compatible windows 7 (PCIe x 16 2.0), who will work in your diet 345W specifications.

• Windows 8 OEM or 8 Pro on portable UEFI - product key entered does not match

  Hello, I have a laptop (Asus Zenbook UX32VD) UEFI which Windows installation has been replaced by a Linux distro, including the recovery partition.

  There is no trace of Windows on the drive I can find, however when I plug in my USB from Windows 8 Retail Pro , created with the tool here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only (using the appropriate license key) and when I choose "install", the Setup program indicates it starts, but then stops with a message: "the entry of the product key does not match any of the Images available for Installation Windows. Enter a different product key. I can't enter the right one. I am convinced that the key OEM of Windows 8 is still somewhere in the BIOS.

  Anyway, how to install anything? Either version would be perfect. I read that I can stop Setup to read the license key from the BIOS by pressing one of the buttons F #. I tried them all without success.

  Former title: OEM Windows 8 or 8 Pro on laptop UEFI

  I remember seeing 'Windows 8' in the system, as well as "AAOEM" at the end of the key applet; and it is multilingual, from the beginning and x 64. The OEM key will work with the 8.1 Windows installation?

  And the problem is, I can't download the ISO right now: I get "Download was not completely successful" when using media creation tool (where I could select Windows 8.1 we x 64). I use it on another laptop running Windows 8.1 UK x 64. Anyway, I've tried and succeeded in a clean install of Windows 8 Pro in a virtual linux machine (so no embedded OEM key), answering my basic needs; However, it is really a temporary solution.

  As I said before that the tool of "Upgrade Windows with only a product key" requires a key I have only for Pro 8, and the keys to the list of default keys Windows ADK are considered as invalid, and so I can not end up with Windows 8 (.1) non-Pro in this way.

  I also found this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/bipass-uefi-provided-product-key-to-install/a271067b-d655-4b46-8b52-b3f191b9370c and created the PID.txt file with the key; have not yet tried, but it looks promising.

  Creating a file PID.txt won't help you in the slightest. Although it is possible to use a generic key in a PID.txt around enter your product key during the installation of Windows... It will only make problems with product activation later down the line.

  Windows 8.1 [edition variant A] will not activate with a 8.1 Windows [edition variant B] where possible editions are:

  Windows 8 = Windows 8.1

  Windows 8 single language = Windows 8.1 single language

  8N = Windows 8.1N Windows

  Windows 8.1 with Bing

  Windows unilingual 8.1 with Bing

  Windows 8 Professional = Windows 8.1 Professional

  Windows 8 Professional N = Windows 8.1 Professional N

  Through the .iso image file editions until does not have your product key is the best solution at the moment unfortunately.

• Dell Precision M4700 (Windows 7 pro) starts not once configured with UEFI and Secure Boot

  To all those who can help you:

  I got a Dell Precision M4700 and I update bios A05. I was intending to move to Windows 8. Everything was fine and the bios update was successful. I started the new bios under Windows 7 Professional (base OS) factory-installed and was very good.

  However, I can't get into the bios (not even see the POST from Dell or Logo) after I activate the UEFI and Secure Boot.This before I update to Windows 8 Pro. Now I'm stuck with a blank screen (same LCD not lit) and nothing to start. It's like a dead PC.

  Help, please. Is that what I can do or should I contact Dell Support for repair?

  Thank you

  I fixed it!  Just removed the CMOS battery, the BIOS got reset back to factory default.  So I did:

  (1) remove the battery

  (2) press the power button to the case of ground

  (3) remove the lower panel

  (4) disconnect the CMOS battery (it's tedious)

  (5) I hit the power button for some time (30 s) to clear the capacitors or something else, it was my theory, but I doubt it's necessary

  (6) use it to all back to the start

  When I turned it on it turns on and turns off several times before finally stay standing and I was then able to enter the BIOS and all the settings have been restored to factory default.  I am new to Windows 7 on my machine so I'll repeat the process, this time without disabling the legacy option roms!

  Here is the disassembly for precision M6700 and M4700 instruction manual if anyone needs:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/systems/wsm4700/en/OM/om_en.PDF

  I was talking about the Dell support problem and the guy said he would talk to his superior and see if something needs to be done, so I guess we'll see if something happens.

  I hope it works for you!

• How long for P2V to convert a Windows XP Pro machine?

  I have read the FAQ and can't find a rough estimate of the time to be allocated per GB for a P2V conversion. I need to convert portable en Windows XP Pro 80 from my boss as it moves to a new machine, and he wants to know how long it will take. I have converted the machines before, but I never stand-over to see how long it takes actually. About how long should it take to perform the P2V conversion a 80GB machine? Is there a simple rule like 1 minute per GB or something?

  Converter will find both drives, so there is no additional needs to be done.  Insofar as a book of recipes, the best that I can offer is the User Guide

  Oh another thing... Go to ESX (i) make sure that you replace the drive HARD IDE by SCSI, if in step 3 of the conversion process

• Pavilion 17 f004dx: need to boot from DVD to load Windows 7 Pro

  I'm downgrading my OS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit because I convert this computer to a computer game.

  I placed my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit DVD in the DVD drve.  Previous upgrades of older and other brands of laptops, you just tell the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM drive.  On the Pavilion 17 f004dx, the only Boot option I see is Boot From EFI leader. Which I suppose is looking for a secondary partition on the hard drive

  I upgraded the RAM and installed an SSD.  NOW I NEED TO LOAD the operating system Windows 7 Pro!  I hope that there is a way to do it!

  PLEASE ADVISE!

  Thank you!

• Dilemma of dual boot Win XP SP3 Pro and Windows 8 Pro

  At this time, April 2013, I expect to build a desktop system dual boot with Windows 8 Pro for the current and future capabilities and Win XP Pro for continued use of legacy aps favorite who will not run on Win8. It turns out that the disc formats are a problem. The Win8 64 bit needs a partition format GPT to install 32-bit XP or XP Pro needs a format MBR partition to install. No OS will share the same format and a main drive cannot be formatted and partitioned in a type of format or the other. What to do? !! Two computers are not an acceptable answer; I want a 'box '. In addition, not interested in XP Mode embeded in Win8 or 'virtual machine '. One suggestion has been to run the operating system on separate disks. For me, this means that 2 SSD is to get performance on the two operating systems. Also, to move from one OS to another, you must restart; catch the key bios entry; change the boot sequence; Save/quit; and reboot. (Awkward!). So what to do with the data and documents - one NAS file storage (for example, disk WD Live 'cloud')? There's good news to have? Are there recent usability solutions to help solve the dilemma of the dual boot? A boot manager will really help and there a good "gift" there Boot Manager? Thoughts, anyone?

  I have a custom system DIY mb Gigabyte Z77, processor i7-3770, running a fresh XP Pro SP3 Edition Builder.

  The drive letter is not critical since XP, Windows 8 will still start as C: (even if the partition is Z: in Windows XP).

  I pre-formatted Windows 8 partition before installing Windows 8 (named volume: Windows 8).

  Then, when you reach the screen "Where install" during the installation of 8, choose the partition of Windows 8.

  You can view other things is the BIOS, look for compatibility / legacy mode option.

  There is no direct solution but if you encounter a this would be great.

  alterative:

  the converter can convert the following text

  • Acronis True Image Echo 9.1, 9.5 and Acronis True Image 10.0, 11.0 (product Home)
  • Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery (formerly LiveState Recovery) 6.5, 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5, LiveState Recovery 3.0 and 6.0 (only the .sv2i files)
  • Norton Ghost version 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0 and 14.0 (only the .sv2i files)
  • Parallels Desktop 2.5, 3.0, and 4.0

• Windows 8 Pro upgrade possible for Satellite Pro C650?

  Read in forums, but can't see a particular mention of my model of laptop. Short part PSC13A.

  Just bought Windows 8 Pro with the intention of upgrading to Windows 7.
  Anyone with this model manages to do with success?
  Should I first download an update to the driver? Or install Win8 first and then update driver?

  Have run the upgrade wizard and seems mostly ok apart from "your PC firmware does not support secure boot if you won't be able to use it in Windows 8.".

  That's what worry?

  Thanks for any help that you can give a geek MOM. =-)

  Secure boot is a new feature of UEFI firmware. UEFI replace BIOS on laptop computers that are provided with Windows 8...

  Windows 8 will work on PCs that have a BIOS, you do not need UEFI / Secure Boot.

• Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro fails miserably, why?. What can I do to make sure it works this time.

  DV6 - 7247cl just bought 1 week ago, I bought windows 8 pro upgrade pack and backed up my windows 8 base images.  When to perform in-place upgrade today ' today-all seemed well until it has restarted and came to a start with three boxes menu: Windows 8 on volume 4

  Windows 8 on volume 4

  Installation of Windows

  I tried all 3 and each of them became all black and then blue screen, your computer has encountered a problem....

  I went into recovery options and each tried and nothing worked.  The last option that I came was to make Factory Image Recovery, I need Windows 8 Pro because I join domain and use Bitlocker and start with the virtual hard drive.  Why it failed, would it secure boot or UEFI.  Please tell me what I can do to get this update to work.  The upgrade looked like it was working but then wouldn't boot into Windows more after the reboot.

  Sorry for the experience with the support of Microsoft. I wasn't expecting that. Let us try the old process to restore the system to the factory settings, uninstalling unwanted applications and then create an inplace upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. Let's see what happens this time.
