Had to change on the new motherboard and not the product key is not valid

who to contact on key to windows if I was forced to change the motherboard and processor in my PC and now my key is not valid. What should I do?

If victory has been preinstalled by the PC manufacturer, unless you bought the motherboard of the PC manufacturer the oem key is not valid, as its coastline to the origonal hardware (motherboard)

If a commercial win7 version which was purchased then use the phone activation, but not answer all prompts until you have the opportunity to talk to a real person.

  • After the new motherboard and processor installation Windows requires key, key to the sticker will not validate.

    I installed a new motherboard and processor to my PC and now it's me demanding in the news two days to activate windows. I type the product key that is located on the sticker and it refuses to validate. Assistance is needed.

    The key on the sticker code is assigned to the brand of the computer to which it is applied. Regardless of the brand, changed the m/b and the CPU (unless provided by the original manufacturer is a NEW computer.)

  • Windows 7 genuine? New motherboard and processor

    Hello

    My motherboard and processor is dead, and you can buy them is out, so I had to buy a different motherboard and a different processor. Nothing has changed. Windows 7 activated without problem, it says "The Activation was successful" and that my Windows 7 is "authentic".

    What I've heard of before is now Windows 7 becoming not authentic after the installation of updates. Is this true? I have a legitimate copy of Windows bought on Amazon. I've already talked to Microsoft to see if I could turn on a new motherboard and CPU, and they said that the key was "good" and I could activate on the new Board of Directors and the CPU.

    So is this windows genuine? I have no call at all MS activation. And it will become inauthentic after installing updates?

    Thank you for your help. Happy new year!

    Alex

    Very well. I was advised by Tom Hardware forums and Windows 7 Forum that as long as the button is activated, it will be good to use, and it can be activated because unlike most recent motherboards, the motherboard has no SLIC, integrated into the BIOS feature.

    Thanks for your help.

  • New motherboard and CPU... Running slow

    The back story:

    First let me preface this by saying: "I don't know much about computers.  OK, with that of the road, I have a Presario SR1703WM under XP. I added two gigs of memory a couple of years and it was running fine for what I needed.

    About a year or two back... It got to where I could not close without waiting a long time to get it to even start upward. I was told that the phones went wrong. Anyway... the food has recently taken a dive.  I replaced it, but the computer had apparently had inhaled, it is the last and sang with the choir invisible.

    I decided to fix it myself and in the process, destroyed the CPU... He looked like a little in the wake of a 747 crashing in a field of culture.

    A friend IT just happened to have a new motherboard and CPU which it replaces for me (God have mercy on its processor)

    The Situation as it is:

    The computer came back from the dead, but he is running a bit slow sometimes.  It is not constant. It seems to happen on Yahoo mail and when I watch Youtube videos or when there is a site with a kind of animation advertisemens.  Yahoo email who has a little.  PC Doctor 5 for windows came with the original computer, but now she says that she is not allowed now... not really a problem, but running a dignostic there will not happen. Compaq diagnostics is not upward in case of problem either. The slowness is erratic, even in the same session.  It can correct itself and return to normal. It seems to happen when I have more than one high screen... like if I can access Yahoo email on one screen and I do appear Facebook on another at the same time.

    Memory is adequate

    Controls for Device Manager shows all my drivers are up to date.

    The new motherboard is an Elitegroup P4M800PRO-M he came with an instellation CD

    The new processor is an Intel Pentium 4.  (He had an AMD Sempron before hand).

    Please be patient with me and use it as simple as possible when replying with advice... I do not understand a lot of technical terms... but I'm learning.

    After hours of slope on this problem... It seems that the culprits were Yahoo toolbar and Adobe Flash 9.  At least it works a lot better now. We'll see if it continues to do so.  Thanks to everyone who took the time to help.  I appreciate it.  Kudos to you all.

  • System was originally shipped with Windows 7, I had fixed it, but the operating system has been changed to XP. Can I use the product key on the side to reinstall Windows 7?

    Reinstalling windows 7 after re-start of windows xp

    I bought my Asus computer came with windows 7 installed, earlier this year, I encountered a problem with the blue screen to come and I was unable to fix it, when I had my computer repaired they changed the operating system to windows xp, I was wondering if with registration # or whatever is on the side if I could download and reinstall Windows 7

    If the product key on the side of your machine is for Windows 7 and where-ever you guessed it "repaired" installed Windows XP - the real question becomes where they got a product key for Windows XP?

    You have the installation media for the copy of Windows 7 OEM which is preinstalled on your computer?

    If not - you will probably need to contact Asus (this laptop?) over media restore and/or check to see if the "repair" left any which restoration method should have been used intact.

  • How can I reinstall windows after new HD, but don't have windows or recovery discs, I have valid Vista COA and the product key

    I have a laptop Acer 4720 with valid product key of Vista Home Premium OEMact and COA label, my problem is the HD is broken and I need to install the new HD and then reinstall windows, but I have not all disks (was on the recovery partition which is good), so what are my options? Can I use any family Vista Edition installation disc Premium and then activate my license key?

    Hi again,

    You use the product key on your computer case with the Installation DVD Microsoft process.

    As I advised alreasdy, recovery from other manufacturers discs are of no use for this

    The only thing is that you may need to make a phone Activation, do it this way and not use auto invite, but hold the line for a person to physically respond to your call.

    I would advise not to download an ISO of Vista on the Internet, you will find that they are pirated and malicious programs containing versions changed.

    The DVDs are not available from Microsoft.

    When I informed 'borrow' that's what I meant. a friend, acquantance workplace, etc.

    Or if you know someone with the same model of Acer and Vista operating system, you might try their recovery disks.

    See you soon.

    My old hard drive which had Vista completely died and it was impossible to get it working again. So I had to get a new which had not any OS, so I'm running a version unaudited 7. Is it possible to return to this laptop Vista using the given product key?

    Hello

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
