Display of product key OEM Dell Win7 as not authentic

I recently gave a member of the family one of my old Dell laptops that had Win7 Pro is installed. Suddenly, they receive messages about the product is not authentic not.  They have not reinstalled Windows, and the key is visible as an OEM key.  Why this problem suddenly maybe is a problem, and how it can be cured?  This laptop worked fine for years!

According to the date of your BIOS, this system was never allowed to run Windows 7 Professional.

    It is not a method to force you to 10 Windows.  But to say that is rather requires data "MGA results."

  • Product key Windows 8 should be not BIOS-based on new laptops from Dell?

    Hello

    My brother-in-law had a HD failure in his Win8 Inspiron 14z laptop. It had not generated the recovery DVDs.

    I replaced with a new HD sound and used the Dell recovery DVDs on my daughter, I created 14z to restore with the Windows 8 factory image (no preserved user data).

    His laptop started successfully to the State "new", and is now installing windows 136 updates.

    I fear, however, because although on 'System', he does say that Windows is activated, the product ID is identical to my daughter 14z, and on the details 'activation', the last 5 characters of the product key shown are also the same.

    Is this good? I wasn't expecting the recovery DVD Dell would be the product key; I assumed that Windows would he get from the BIOS.

    Is there a way to "turn off" Windows and use the key to the BIOS?

    Thank you!

    See here - RWEverything to determine the product key, and then change the key to match one found by RWEverything:

  • What happens if I install a new windows on a computer product key OEM windows laptop?

    I bought a laptop in 2009 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM on it (I still have the sticker of the portable product key).

    This year, I bought a larger capacity HARD drive and installed on my laptop.

    I thought it was the perfect time to upgrade to Windows 7, so I bought a DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate.

    I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my HDD new and used the new Windows 7 Ultimate DVD product key.

    My questions are,

    What will happen to the product key Windows Vista Home Basic OEM?

    If it is replaced with the new product key?

    Is the OEM product key became invalid?

    Now I use Windows Pro 10, as a free upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, so...

    What my new Windows 10 Pro registered product key?

    I know that since windows 8, the product key is installed on the BIOS (am I right?).

    then, how it actually works?

    Thank you very much for the reply.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    No matter if you did a clean Windows 7 or updated installation to upgrade to windows 7 from Vista, this OEM Vista product key is blocked on this computer and cannot be transferred to another machine.

    You can only use this key OEM of Vista to reinstall Vista on this particular machine and start over.

    Licensing rules (my words)

    If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Rec would be the free upgrade to 10 7 as Vista never qualified for the free upgrade to 10.

    The key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

    The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

    But there is no product key for your free upgrade to 10.

    Hardware configuration you laptop is stored on Microsoft servers and how your machine will be recognized if you always want to reinstall 10.

    See you soon.

  • Product key OEM Windows Vista Business on Precision 490

    Just bought a Dell Precision 490. It comes with 32-bit Windows 7 HP... The product key for Windows 7 is on the case. With this key, there is a Microsoft Windows Vista Business OEM key. My first question is how do I know if it is a key of 32 or 64-bit of Windows Vista? Or can be used for either (it does not specify the key). My second question is how properly to reinstall Windows Vista. I noticed there are a lot of different people who sell different restart/reinstall/repair disk. Thank you.

    Windows OEM product keys can be used to install either 32-bit or 64-bit.

    You can ask Dell support (if in the United States, and after a "transfer of property") or use a disc from another system that corresponds to the version of that license is for (Home, Ultimate, etc.):

    support.Dell.com/.../backupcd_form

    You can use Retail media, then activate by phone from Microsoft (not Dell) using your product key:

    en.Community.Dell.com/.../3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-Vista-Official-ISO-Download-Links-Digital-River.aspx

    Just boot on the Windows DVD, delete all partitions that are shown to you, then call install... you will have to install drivers after Windows is installed, but you can ask that once Windows is on.

    You must also determine if you have a RAID controller that requires special drivers during installation.  The 490 could use a PERC or SAS RAID 5 card.  You can check the box to see where the disks are wired to and/or check during POST to see if you have a CTRL-C or a prompt CTRL-R, while the loading devices.

    Well, what to say to my knowledge it of not possible to activate the other version of Vista with OEM from Toshiba key.
    This key is assigned to this OEM version and it should not work with another Vista CD/DVD.

    However, I found this thread another in this forum about Vista installation and activation and the last user potatohead reported that he was able to activate the OEM of Vista version with the phone;

  • Can I use a product key OEM Windows 7 provided with my laptop on a different computer if my laptop original broke and I no longer use it?

    I have a disc of "Window7 Holiday Home Edition". I got it on my laptop. But the broken laptop. Can I put on my laptop, using the "Product Key" that used it on the laptop.

    Sorry, but there is no such thing as «Window7 Holiday Home Edition»  This is the ultimate. Home Basic or Home Premium.

    He intervenes, it it is preinstalled on your laptop and the laptop died, the license to use, he died with him. It cannot be moved to another computer.

    Preloaded is an OEM version and the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first it is installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold, or given to outside (except with the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

    You cannot install of XP OEM key on a retail disc.
    If the disc is SP3, then you can install by using the default key and then use the product key update tool to change the key for your COST one.
    If you can integrate SP3 into the current disc, it will still work.
    If this isn't the case, then you need to find a disc OEM System Builder to do the installation.
