• Try to reinstall windows 7 on another computer with the old product key

  My computer has 7 starter and windows 7 upgrade system intalled. It crashed and no longer works.  I talk to technicians of Microsoft and they say its ok and will work - transferring the operating system windows 7 on my laptop current used. Well no dice, after my product key for them, Microsoft gave me the run around. Last night when I spoke with them, they said that a discount price was available because I made the original purchase for her. Is happening here? Should I buy windows 7 again?

  I guess you try to use the upgrade license.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Always try the following:

  Contact Dell on them giving you the wrong recovery disk...

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Updating Win 7 32 Bit to Win 7 64 bit with the same product key

  Hey,.

  I bought a laptop computer where is installed Win 7 Pro 32 Bit. Now, I want to install Win 7 pro 64 bits with the same product key. I have the required software. Is this possible?

  Yes, you can use the same product key to install and activate the 64-bit version.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Can't download Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Disc Images (ISO files) with the license product key

  A few months ago, I bought a laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit pre-installed, used with supplied installation disc. There is a hologram sticker COA affixed to the laptop with a product key. I used this key to activate the phone without problem. I was then able to install SP1 and various other updates over time.

  Recently, I decided that I should have a Windows installation disc (Windows Update has slowed to a crawl and doesn't, and I maybe to repair or reinstall it with the disk).

  I have entered my product key on Microsoft Web page to 'Download the Windows 7 disc Images (ISO files)'. But I got an error message:

  "The product key you have entered seems to be for software pre-installed by the manufacturer of the device. Contact the manufacturer of the software device for recovery options. »

  Running 'Winver' shows that my product is authorized.

  Running "slmgr.vbs - dli" shows the partial product key and license status "allowed."

• Windows 7 Activation by phone, DVD original no with the purchased product key

  One of my friend system files has been corrupted in some way on a Toshiba laptop, so I saved her documents and formatted the drive.

  His laptop provided with Windows 7 (Home Premium x 64), but have never created or received a DVD of recovery/Windows.

  I looked for General tech support forums and provided a link to a few versions of Windows 7 I could burn on my own DVD. I would then just use the product key at the bottom of his laptop.

  The key has been accepted to the installation and the system worked well until the reboot. He then pushes back the product key, because the one he used was "invalid".

  I am worried about the version of Windows 7, I downloaded the wrong version has been and that the product key has been to the pre - SP1 version (the laptop was purchased 2-3 years ago).

  I set the option to activate automated telephone service and went through the process of large code entry.

  He said to succeed, and Windows stopped to ask my friend on an invalid product key.

  My concern is whether or not the correct product key has been sent to Microsoft, given that the telephone automated activation service no the opportunity to enter the product key at the bottom of his laptop computer.

  I was wondering if this configuration is fine, and that Microsoft is indeed recognized its product key to his laptop, because I don't want to be marked as hacked because I used a copy of the software Windows 7 itself, despite the use of a unique product key.

  Thanks for your help,

• HP desktop with 32-bit windows 7, can legally move to 64-bit with the same product key?

  Hi support them.

  My scenario here is I have a few systems of HP Office under windows7 32-bit edition (version of windows by default), and now I need to upgrade to 64-bit windows 7 without getting a 64-bit win7 additional license, am I allowed to use the same product key on my 32-bit version to upgrade to 64-bit?

  Hello

  Since this is a check of the product key OEM with HP Support for the media. You already have windows
  Thus, it will be cheap. You can check that your system is running 64-bit at the same time.
