Difference between upgrade of Windows 8 and Windows 8 OEM

Is there a difference between Windows 8 pro upgrade offers DVD and OEM of Windows 8? Installation specific functionality and the appearance of Windows 8 OEM differs from DVD upgrade offer?

The end result of a clean installation is the same for both versions.

The upgrade DVD requires a product calling present at the beginning of the installation, but it can be erased so that you can install clean.

The upgraded version is transferable to another system. The System Builder version is related to the first system on which it is installed.

  • Pavilion 10-n102ne: difference between the Pavilion 10-n102ne and 10-n102na

    I want to order a cover for my device (Pavilion 10-n102ne), but did not, on the contrary, I think I found a similar device (10-n102na), so I was wondering what is the difference between these 2 models, not vs na, what it means. The recovery kit works on my device.

    What is the differnce between Recovery Kit or by creating a windows recovery disk, and which should I choose if I want to completely format the system and install another OS?

    Another question is that how do I backup my Windows 10 activation, or is it when I install freshly a Windows 10 the appliance will automatically activate windows? is the serial imprented into bios?

    Awaiting your response

    @ChristopherED
    Welcome to the Forums of HP,
    I hope you're well

    If I understand correctly you want to know about the difference between the Pavilion 10-n102ne and 10-n102na.

    Here is the link with the characteristics of the two products (spot the difference):

    HP Pavilion x 2-10-n102na
    HP Pavilion x 2-10-n102ne

    It is not very different between the recovery kit or one created by your computer apart from the type of creation, if the media created on your computer do not work you can always get one from HP, but you cannot create a new computer because it allows only a creation of media recovery on your computer.

    And the answer to your question about activation, you are right, that the activation code is printed/saved to BIOS if you do not have an option to save as.

    If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to give me a virtual h.o.t. by clicking on the 'Thumbs Up' icon below.

  • What is the difference between a version of MAR and the software win7 INKL?

    * Original title: MAR v INKL

    What is the difference between a version of MAR and the software win7 INKL?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What exactly you're talking about when you say, 'Version INKL of Windows 7?

    I'll be happy to answer your query, however, please explain more about abbreviation INKL. There is a version called Office of ink that is used in the Tablet PC.

    Here's the other version of Windows, you can make reference to:

    MAR - Microsoft Authorized Reacondicionador

    A new PC requires a version of windows with a new key license installed if purchased from a manufacturer.

    A refurbished PC is allowed to use an existing product key (2nd hand if you like) as long as it is always delivered with a certificate of authenticity (COA). This is referred to as MAR (Microsoft authorized Reacondicionador) which means that Microsoft allows to use existing keys/licenses products.

    Buy a version of windows means MAR technically you buy a second hand copy - being however, software, so it comes with COST, will make absolutely no difference at all.

    N and KN editions

    The features in N and KN Editions are the same full versions of their equivalent, but do not include Windows Media Player or other technologies related to Windows Media, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker because of the limits set by the European Union and South Korea, respectively. The cost of n and KN Editions are the same as the full versions, as the Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N and Windows 7 KN can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.

    Generations of VL

    VL builds work with VLK (volume license key). Volume license keys can be used to activate multiple installations of the software without a mechanism (for example, a product activation mechanism) controls the total number of facilities. The license for the software is going to impose restrictions on the use of the key. In general, the license will limit the key to a certain number of facilities which must be only the Organization of the licensee and also to place the holder under the obligation to keep a record of the number of facilities, hold confidential and perhaps even require that the holder organization makes available for a software license check check that his use of the key is in the terms of the license.

    Please let us know what exactly are you referring to when you say version INKL of Windows 7, so we can further research and answer.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Can someone tell me what is the difference between a default playback device and a default communication device?

    original title: sound settings are very complex. Can someone tell me what is the difference between a default playback device and a default communication device?

    In fact, I use the recording software to record songs instead of downloading. Some recorders record their own drivers and they work fine. But sometimes, they do not respond. The DD Realtek Audio Manager is sick with something. People suffer a lot using this. My questions are endless. Some of them are:

    • What is "Realtek Digital Output?
    • Save devices-part of sound cards?
    • What are animals like 'Audio CD' and 'Stereo Mix' displayed on the DD Realtek Audio Manager?
    I'm sorry for not being specific, but I need a very good idea of how to deal with the settings of the sound in windows 7. And one thing, I have no microphone plugged but always Realtek HD Audio Manager detects? Why?

    Hi SandiKollol,

    A communication device can mean different things, but mostly it is used to allow voice communications on the internet.

    A playback device plays his return, such as your speakers or headphones.

    I hope this helps.

  • Difference between SOA Suite 64 Bit and SOA Suite 32 Bit

    Hello

    I'm new to SOA. I want to install SOA Suite 64 Bit on my laptop with 64-bit system and a window 8 64-bit.

    I'm curious to know what what is the difference between SOA Suite 64 Bit and SOA Suite 32 Bit.

    There are various facilities available for the 64-bit and 32-bit?

    Or

    The facilities are same for 64-bit and 32-bit, but it's only depends on whether the JDK is 64-bit or 32-bit.

    Thank you

    Prashant jegou

    Hi Prashant, there.

    If you use the JDK that is bundled with WLS, I think that you have installed 32 - bit.

    The best way to check is to run java-version on the prompt of the JDK that helps run the suite servers SOA. Another approach is to examine the server log and files where the start is unloaded and you should be able to see the seller of the JVM and architecture.

    To install WLS 64-bit, you must use the generic installation program (.jar) which requires a JDK 64 - bit pre-installed. And then on top, with installation of SOA.

    I never tried to SOA on 32-bit and I think that it is not stable at all due to the limited segment size you can allocate for the JVM.

    Hope this helps,

    Anatoli

  • I want to know the differences between the conditions of subscription and use of Photoshop for photographers of the usual subscription?

    Nice day! I want to know the differences between the conditions of subscription and use of Photoshop for photographers of the usual subscription? And if I can buy then and for how Adobe Illustrator? What will be the beta of the Adobe XD for Windows? Thank you!

    If you ask what is the difference between photographic subscription and the subscription of stand-alone application, then the answer is both are essentially the same except for two ways. The photographic edition comes with Adobe Lightroom and 2 GB of cloud storage. The stand-alone Photoshop version comes on its own, but with 20 GB of cloud storage and is two times more expensive. If the 18 GB of cloud storage is an additional value, I would say probably no - put the money that you save on an external hard drive in place. The photographic edition was initially a temporary special offer caused a suggestion from one of the co-creators of Photoshop, but turned out to be very popular with fans, private and business and so we have a permanent plan to subscribe to Photoshop. There is no plan equivalent to Illustrator and who is available at a single price. With the subscription model, you can cancel at any time, but the contract is 1 year, if you cancel at the beginning there is a penalty clause which will ask you to pay extra this tax applies only if you pay your monthly subscription every year.

    You don't say where in the world you are, but the link below shows the available plans. There is a drop down box that allows the conversion in different currencies.

    Hello

    As long as you have compatible connectors, SCSI cables will work DAQ of basic functions.  They have the advantage of NO cables is that we can meet our DAQ hardware.  So, we can create pairs twisted differential pairs to HAVE, using the ground for shielding terminals and generally specialize the cable to minimize noise and crosstalk.  Because the SCSI cables are not specialized, you are likely to see the most noise and, if you go the sampling rates more Rapids, crosstalk.  If you are in a laboratory or factory with a good amount of noise EMF that your readings are not quite as clean, or if you have fluorescent lights you might see 60 Hz noise you might not see otherwise.

    If you want more details on the specifications of the SH68-68-EPM cable, I recommend these two articles.  The first example of the twisted pair and the principles of the SH cable shielding and the second gives the most precise specifications that you can compare with when looking for a SCSI cable.

  • Differences between the HP Deskjet 3522 and HP Deskjet 3520?

    Hello

    Is could someone please tell me what is the difference between the HP Deskjet 3522 and HP Deskjet 3520?

    I've seen both for sale online and can see no difference between them... so don't know why different model numbers

    Thank you!

    The difference in the number of products, is because it coordinates with the serial number.

    So when you have a problem, or warranty issues, the number of the product will compete with the serial number in the system.
