How to buy a new Windows 7 product key?

Hello
I think to upgrade my motherboard,
but I seem to have a version of Windows 7 OEM.

I read somewhere here that you can not use a version of the OEM of Windows 7 on a new motherboard.
That is why I need a product key for Windows 7, but how they acquire?

Can I use the Windows 7 upgrade product key, or should I get the full version?
Or is there a third option?

It takes a full version license if you move to a new motherboard. An upgrade license is not eligible.

You can buy a key for the full version at the following link:

  • How to buy a new Windows 7 key or Microsoft CD/DVD

    After buying a few netbooks for my company, it was a shock that they came pre-installed with Ubuntu. Ubuntu is good for me that all the programs that we use to work on Windows, so I need Windows 7. However, after reviewing countless pages on Microsoft Web sites, I found unable to buy even 1 key of Microsoft as all redirects to Windows 8. No implicit offense but Windows 8 is absolutely silly--perhaps even worse than Windows Vista. After spending time and money to train people to use Windows 7, I find now that I have to re - train to use Windows 8. In fact, I don't even know how use Windows 8 myself. If Microsoft decides to rearrange Windows 8 to run Windows 7 (the Start button and easily organized programs), then by all means, I would be more inclined to buy Windows 8. However, this new interface is complete b * t!

    Someone please be so kind to tell me how to get the keys directly from Microsoft (Volume license keys even will do) as long as it is directly from Microsoft that I had some bad experiences with retailers (i.e. retailers) in the past and refuse to go down the route of using one of them.

    Am I stuck with Ubuntu or someone can help?

    Thank you very much in advance for responses to my query.

    This means that you must install the original version of Windows shipped with your computer if you are not Windows 7. Otherwise, you will need to set up or ask a family friend or a member of the family gift that you register.

    If you know a student, you could ask to purchase a license at price reduced for you.

  • How you purchase/get a new windows xp product key?

    I recently got a new computer and my family already uses too many copies of the activation key, is it possible to get a new one without having to buy a new copy of xp?

    This is not possible, it should be product key one associated with a copy of windows. There is no way that you can buy just the key. In addition, please note that windows xp is no longer sold and distributed by microsoft, you can check local stores or sites of third 3 for a copy if you need to pick one, just beware of the good pirates.

  • How can I get a new Windows 7 product key?

    original title: how to enter a new procuct key?

    After months of back and forth with Microsoft and Lenovo during activation of the computer, I finally have what I hope to be a valid product key.  The problem now is how to get in.

    The instructions I was given are right click on 'Computer', select 'Properties' and click 'change product key '.  Unfortunately, when I click "Change product key", nothing happens.  It highlights a link, the cursor changes, but it does nothing.

    I would try a repair installation, but still once, being a Lenovo, I don't have the actual Windows 7 disks, only a restore partition - which, once activated, restores the delivery as a condition of the computer - not very useful unless I want to erase all of my configuration and programs installed.

    Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    The motherboard is not defective, correct?  If you override to 'improve' the unit and the original motherboard is not defective, then, Yes, you will need to purchase a new license.  You've essentially created a new machine.

    In this case, you will need to purchase a new license.

    Since the motherboard contains the processor and is "the heart and soul" of the PC, then replacement of the motherboard (for other reasons than to default) a new PC is essentially created. The system integrator original manufactured not this new PC and cannot therefore be expected to support it.

    In this case, you can use the original license:

    If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to purchase a new license of PC operating system as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make and model or equivalent/replacement by the manufacturer, as defined by the manufacturer warranty of.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    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. File ISO in Digital River, 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:

    2. your license is OEM and cannot be transferred to a new motherboard.  (the only exception is specified replacement manufacturers had to make defection)
