  I have an OEM Win 10 Pro and want to downgrade to Win 7 pro, but do not have Win 7 Pro iso or disc. The seller tells me that MS will provide Win 7 Pro to achieve, but my Windows 10 Pro product key does not work on the download page.

  If Pro 10 Windows was preinstalled on your computer, see how in-depth instructions downgrade:

  How Downgrade Windows preinstalled 10 for Windows 7/8.1

  As mentioned in the article, it is your responsibility to facilitate access to Windows 7 Professional reinstall media. He may be borrowing retail upgrade or full version of media or OEM System Builder.

  You can use the following utility to download the ISO of Windows 7 Professional:

  Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool - HeiDoc.net

  Instructions for activation phone activation use after decommissioning in detail article I linked at the start. No need to buy Windows 7 Professional.

  Instead of replace, you might want to consider dual booting:

  How to: Dual Boot Windows 7 or Windows 8 with Windows installed 10 first

  If what you bought is an OEM System Builder Windows 10 Pro license, then you can indeed buy Windows 7 Professional.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

• Microsoft Windows 8 PRO Downgrade to Windows 7 PRO

  Greetings,

  This post is more than a complaint about Microsoft INABILITY to support its biggest business customers, in the hope that someone at Microsoft will really help me, instead of giving me the evasive that was given to me for the last 3 days...

  I bought 100 Dell Vostro MT270 i3 Machines. All came with pre-installed Windows 8 PRO...

  We have problems with Internet Explorer 9 and above with our Cloud National environment in which Microsoft Axapta 2012 runs.

  Over the 3 days I tried to get in on the good service in Microsoft ranks to eventually get the product key of Windows 7 PRO for these OEM installed machines. I even offered to provide supporting documents (invoices and delivery as proof of my purchase slips)

  Every department I got through where was forwarded to, listened to my story and informed me that I needed to talk to another Department.

  Finally, this afternoon I decided to call Microsoft States in the hope of some kind of miracle... Instead, I lost 40 minutes of international calls from South Africa to be told that I had to talk to the Department of volume licensing for OEM pre-installed Machines?

  Finally, after that be go asked me for our partner number or software assurance.

  Unfortunately for me, our group Enterprise Architect was not available to give me this info. Furthermore, I was not ready to waste any more time or money on call international USA.

  I read on the Net that to downgrade from Windows 8 PRO to Windows 7 PRO I need my own media (check), and a Windows 7 product key to complete install (check).

  The problem here is I can't use a product key Windows 7 PRO currently in use on a work machine, and I have certainly not 100 old Windows 7 PRO Machines...

  All I need is that Microsoft provide me 100 license keys for this downgrade or a unique product key I can activate 100 times.

  It's really not that complicated a situation, however everyone I talked to has made it seem like they must move heaven and Earth to assist me.

  This isn't how you support your customers Microsoft!

  If there is someone who can help me with my problem please reply...

• Unable to downgrade to win 8 Pro for Windows 7 Pro OEM

  I just bought a new laptop from Sony with Windows 8 Professional pre-installed. I was under the impression that then I could downgrade to Windows 7 Pro. However when I try to do it by doing a clean install of Windows 7 Pro with a disc that I have, I get an error to the first restart during the installation. That is to say that the pilot is is not digitally signed.

  I tried to turn off driver signing through settings-> General-> Advanced-> reboot and then disable it temporarily. Anything that allows me to do is to load Windows 8 again. Then if I restart or try to reinstall Windows 7, happening just to this old problem.
  I also tried to activate test mode, but he had no chance.
  What should I do to get this PC to Windows 7 Pro? All articles on the web look like the right to downgrade would be fairly easy to exercise. Thanks for any help.

  Load the BIOS and disable Secure Boot, it is usually in the Section of the safety of your BIOS.

  I suggest that you back up your installation of Windows 8 prior to the upgrade, just in case you want to revert to Windows 8 in the future:

• Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro - need my Lic Key

  Help

  I bought an Omni27 about a year ago and its been ok except for the Windows8 OS. It is not practical on a desktop for me.

  My problem is the following:

  I need my license key Professional Windows8 for current installation to Microsoft which has a program to give you a key Win7 Pro in Exchange if you HATE Windows8. WHERE IS THE KEY!

  Here's what I did:

  (1) MS said to call for the cause of the seller, they have a record of the unit being the OEM installation

  (2) I called HP support and they said that they do not support the downgrades. I explained everything and with an Indian accent, I was told tursely that they do not support the downgrades. I explained once again, I ask you to help me downgrade, I want just the key to lic or know where it is anywhere on the PC. They are like drones idot... Nothing

  So I decided to start in win8 one last time, MS to enter the system remotely, and the fish on my lic key then send me the new KEY. I hope this works.

  If anyone has a better way to address the issue made me know. I put in a new HD and install Win7 clean and keep my old drive to migrate data to.

  The computer was delivered without much documentation. Unlike my Dell PC that come with stickers for the OS and other DVD media with docs, HP was skinny to almost zero!

  Hello

  The key is in the BIOS. The following tool will help:

• Another way to downgrade to win 8 pro for win 7 pro

  I got a new Mini-Tower xps 8700 with 8 pre-installed pro victory. I think this falls into the rules of dell for win 7 pro downgrade. The question is can I use a reinstall pro 7 dell victory of a computer drive dell laptop to achieve this downgrade?

  "I got a new Mini-Tower xps 8700 with 8 pre-installed pro victory. I think this falls into the rules of dell for win 7 pro downgrade. »

  They are not rules downgrade "Dell"... they are rules of downgrade from Microsoft, and Yes, Windows 8 Pro (Pro ONLY) qualifies for the downgrade rights.  Activation for downgrade rights is the responsibility of the user, so you can activate it using ANY other license (even if used on a different machine/account without affecting this license)... a Dell installation DVD is eligible.  Normally, a Dell installation DVD requires NO key to enter, and the range of systems that work with a DVD is extensive, but not universal, so if it asks for a product key, you will need to have one of your own to provide.

  Why would you downgrade?

• Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of Windows XP pro 32 bit

  Hello

  I have a desktop running windows 7 pro 64-bit, but need to switch to windows XP pro 32-bit as I has an electronic Development Council which is not easily compatible with this version.  I understand from licensing that as I Pro I would be entitled to downgrade, this applies to the downgrading to 32-bit as well.  If it's ok where can I download some ISO Windows XP pro 32 course and it's just a case of putting my windows 7 inside product key?

  Hello

  Until you, ensure that you will have drivers for your hardware + devices on x 86 XP. If this isn't the case, I wouldn't do the downgrade you will have many problems.

  Did you first try to run the program in compatibility?

  Kind regards

• Downgrade to Windows XP Pro

  I was given my current my former employer's computer when it goes bankrupt and it has Windows Vista Business. I can't put updated (Microsoft support team to try to understand why) and therefore cannot install some programs I want.

  I prefer XP Pro on Vista anyway and would like to put XP Pro on this machine. I have several copies of a XP Pro, but when I put the discs in the installation, the button is dimmed and it won't let me install it.

  I'm ready to re - format if necessary, after saving all my important files, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

  Question 1: Can I install XP Pro on this machine without having to reformat?

  Question 2: If question 1 is not possible, can I repartition my hard disk, keep everything I have now on one partition and then install XP Pro on the other partition?
