• How can I determine what version of Windows Server is installed from the PID

  I am currently responsible for the licensing of our company and I want to find out what servers have been installed under what license i.e. OEM, MSDN, KMS.

  Is it possible using the PID that you can determine which version of Windows Server is installed. I need to know this for all versions of Windows Server since 2000-2008 R2.

• Determine the version of Windows product key on the back "bricks" Lenovo laptop

  I bought a used Lenovo 6459CTO laptop. The sticker on the back windows is partially readable and windows was preinstalled, when the laptop was purchased. The system has failed and attempts to reinstall an image by the previous owner allowed to corrupt the Lenovo recovery Partition, so I can't boot up the laptop. I don't have the recovery disks. How can I determine what version of windows is on the laptop using the product key? The version of windows on the label is unreadable.

  Hello

  You uninstall not she, you reinstall Vista on top of it

  You have the Vista DVD, so do a clean install with it.

  As Vista is pre-installed you will need probably not the Producr Key that is on the sticker on your laptop if you use of the manufacturer provided recovery disk

  If you need it, insert the product key from the sticker on the laptop case

  Boot from the Vista DVD and follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

  Make sure that the CD / DVD Drive (optical drive) is the 1st in the boot order.

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  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

  Hello

  If the edition of Vista is not written on the COA sticker, I suggest that you ask in the Forums to Support HP about this:

  The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

  With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

• Installing a version of Windows 7 on a laptop which the CPU speed is 1.73 GHz?

  Hello

  Can I install a version of windows 7 on a laptop with these specs:
  Intel@Celeron @ 530 processor
  (1.73 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 1 MB L2 Cache)
  Mobile Inter @ Graphics Media accelerator X 3100
  512 MB DDR2

  Not all laptops have graphics cards that can be removed and replaced with a more recent map / better. If your laptop does not update the graphics card, instructions should be in your manual. You can also consult the web site of the manufacturer of the laptop computer that the information can be displayed there as well.

  Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X 3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X 3100 is a (onboard) graphic chip on a mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor to the GMA 950 and has a fully programmable pipeline (fully supports the Aero Glass and DirectX 10 with latest drivers). The peformance of the X 3100 is much better that the GMA 950, always demanding the modern games does not work perfectly.

  Help, please!

  Your relocation was made of a set of recovery discs Dell - which uses a key to Dell and cannot be enabled on any other brand.

  It's a Dixons computer odf, then I suspec that the COA sticker on the case is for XP Home edition, while the installation is Pro.

  You need to return to this system to its licensed version of Windows by using the recovery media for that PC - or a good disc XP Home OEM System Builder.
