Downgrade Windows 2012 R2 OEM

Hi all

I want to downgrade my Windows 2012 R2 Standard Edition Windows 2012 Standard Edition (OEM).

I have read the license agreement and follow the instructions on this page

https://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/downgrade_rights.aspx

I call and the operator told me that they don't downgrade Windows 2012 R2 by phone.

But that is written at the end of the page above...

Please can you help me?

Best regards

Jean

  • Can I downgrade Windows 8 64-bit for Windows 7 64-bit?

    Can I downgrade Windows 8 64-bit for Windows 7 64-bit?

    And also my drivers continue to operate?

    I have only one installation of Windows 7 disk and want to make sure that I could use it incase if my computer goes down / gets corrupted / ect. Since I formatted acccidently my OEM drive when I take away a lot of partitions, I did.

    My computer:

    Model: HP 2000 Notebook PC

    Model No.: C2N26UA #ABA

    OS: 8 64-bit Windows

    Additional info: my computer came with Windows 8 64-bit pre-installed.

    Hello:

    First of all, make your game of W8 recovery discs before proceeding.

    All the W7 x 64 drivers of this Associates model should work on yours.

    The driver is missing (and is for any laptop AMD) and it's the chipset driver that installs the SMBus Controller and the USB 3.0 controller.

    You should download and install this driver first and then restart. First download listed is what you need.

    Then install the graphics driver and restart, then install the audio driver and restarted.

    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.

    Can another question Andre, you use a DVD upgrade and keys to perform the downgrade? for example Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 7 Home premium using a version upgrade to Home Premium.

    Two points:

    1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
    you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

    2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
    motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
    disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
    the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
    If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
    legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
    the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
    license dies with him.

  • Windows 8 Pro OEM update problem

    Hi all

    I recently bought an Acer P3 pre-installed with Microsoft Windows 8 single language tablet. Since I need to use some of the functionality available only with the Pro version, I bought a Windows 8 Pro OEM license. Since there is no way to reinstall Windows 8 at the beginning, I use the 'add new features' upgrade. Apparently the license does not work since it is a complete Pro 8 license and features requires the Windows 8 Pack Pro license instead. So, I make a call to Microsoft Tech Line and full of hope that they can change the license Pro Pack. After 2 hours of curiosity and the final tip, pleading for a change (it is not possible to Exchange or refund from the store I bought because the seal is already open), they will not always be allowed to change and leave me with RM 414 (~ 129 USD) in the sewers.

    Is it possible for me to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with this product key, and I really hope there is some flexibility on the part of Microsoft to help me in this situation since I already bought a Microsoft product with a higher value than the Pro Pack Upgrade. I would be happy for you to show my Bill and photo of the if product key requires Microsoft.

    Thank you and looking forward to any kind of answers.

    Unfortunately, add functionality does not support OEM System Builder licenses. You should have bought the Pro Pack or Pro Windows 8 details of upgrade.

    Your only other option because you can not return it is again a custom installation of the currently installed Windows 8 SL. Backup the current Windows 8 install before do you.

    First, create a backup of your installation of Windows 8 on an external hard drive:

    Then, create a repair disk:

  • TS140 install Windows 2012 on RAID 1

    Hello

    I intend to install a Windows Server 2012 on a TS140 using RAID 1 configuration.

    As I read in the manuals, the RAID is most often used with the CSM (compatibility Support Module), but as Windows 2012 supports UEFI, it could be used with the drivers.

    What is the recommended configurarion?

    In addition to the installation of the driver are the drawbacks in any configuration?

    Thanks in advance,
