  • 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.

    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.

    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

  • Recover Windows 7 pre-installed license key

    Hello.

    I recently bought a laptop (dell e6410) second hand. Operating system has not been installed, and there is no sticker on the laptop (or underneath the battery) on the windows.  I would like to know if the laptop had a pre-installed operating system, and if so, could I get the license that it came with it? I don't have any what recovery DVDs, and there is also no recovery partition.

    As I read on the Internet, it could be that the license key is related somehow to the BIOS to keep the license attached to only the computer for which it was intended.

    Thank you.

    Hmm... This part of the sentence "buyer beware" comes to mind.  If it does not have the sticker of license on this subject, it does not have a legitimate operating system.  Even if you get a valid license running Belarc or Magic Jelly Bean key, there is no way to know whence this key.

    Key is not in the BIOS under Windows 7 (only 8), but the Dell installation media check the BIOS to make sure it's a Dell, it can install and activate, but without a sticker key license, which is not legitimate either.

  • My windows 7 ultimate genuine pre installed on my laptop for over a year now its entry Windows is not genuine how can I fix?

    I bought a Lenovo T510 with Windows 7 Ultimate genuine pre installed on 03/20/11.  The product ID is 0426-OEM-8992662-00497. Ive been using it daily for over a year with all of the problems until this morning. When I turned on the laptop I received the message that my copy of windows 7 Ultimate can be false, even though I received an update of windows on 06/07/12 How is that? When I tried returning product key he still came the same. What I do, and how can I solve this problem?

    Your windows is not genuine.

    The key of product in use is the infamous Lenovo OEM SLP key blacklisted. This key has been blacklisted before Windows 7 came out and has never been sold.
    You will need to buy a full edition of genuine windows or return to windows, your computer comes with that.
  • I have a product key for a pre-installed version of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, now I need an ISO standard for installation in a virtual machine

    Hello

    I bought a refurbished machine that came with Win 7 Pro pre-installed. I erased the HARD drive. Completely. Nothing more.

    I don't want Win 7 installed on the drive, but I need an ISO to install it in a virtual machine for research reasons.

    I tried to download the ISO of http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery, but when I gave the product key, I got a response that I should turn to the vendor of the computer and that is preloaded.

    When I did and asked an ISO, they told me to download from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery. This seems to be the only source for Windows ISOs left in the world.

    So, I run long in circles... infinte loop... :-(

    How can I solve this misery?

    Thanks for the replies!

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. ISO file which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options?

    See the article for more details: how: what are my options for getting Windows 7 reinstall media?

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    ------------------------

    If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.
