    What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity

    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:

  • License OEM Windows 7 Professional 32-bit come with downgrade rights to XP Professional?

    If I buy a copy of (System Integrator) OEM Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit, does include downgrade rights to Windows XP Pro?

    I build essentially the individual PCs for personal use and small businesses; However, I have a client who seeks PCs 35 at point of sale that will have access to a central server.  Although I recommended the use of XP mode in Windows 7, my customer has been informed by its supplier of software that XP Pro is the best option for the current version of the software.

    Although I could purchase copies of XP Pro OEM, my concern is that - during the life cycle of these PCs - my client will have to migrate to Windows 7, as new versions of its software point of sale are available.  If possible, I would like the opportunity to buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, installation of XP Pro with downgrade rights and later have the ability to change to Windows 7 without having to purchase new licenses.  Is it an option if I buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses?

    Also, I need 35 licenses for a single customer, volume licenses would be more cost-effective?  My current Windows 7 Pro OEM or Windows XP Pro OEM price is about $ 150 per license.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Yes, a version of Windows 7 Professional OEM rights to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.  Volume license is not a scheme of licensing "for resale.

  • Disk Dell OEM of Windows 7 does not have a product key?

    My computer began to crash so I reformatted my computer and installed Windows 7 Professional using my OEM drive. After installation, my computer installed 70 something updates. Then, he says Windows must be enabled. For some reason any it will never trigger. After several days of trying to figure out why it will not be activated. Finally, I downloaded Produkey to watch my product key. That the when I noticed that it is said that he was not a found Windows product key. My drive was supposed to install Windows 7 without having to use a product key. What should I do?

    In fact, I bought the office refurbished Dell. It came with Windows 7 OEM disc. What's weird, is that the sticker on the body of the computer is Windows XP Professional.

    An OEM Win 7 installation disc also requires the issuance of a product key OEM COA on a real label.  If you do not have this feature so you don't have a genuine OEM product for your refurbished Dell.  You cannot use a XP Pro COA to activate a product Win 7.

  • How to get rid of the fake windows security alert virus

    There was a virus on my laptop in the last two months. on the bottom taskbar, there's a red 'x' icon shield and whenever I try to go it takes me to the esentials Security page and he said: "the Security Center service is disabled" and it lights whenever I try to turn it on. also it doesn't let me access the internet or try to restore the laptop. I tried all solvents of spyware as spyware doctor and malware bytes, but it seems that I still have not had the problem again. help because this situation is greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

    One way to solve the problem would be to backup your important data (redundancy) and then re - install
    Windows after formatting the drive. Check with the manufacturer of your system's support to see what you need to do
    that (and you probably already have what is necessary). You can buy the installation discs for Windows in the system
    machine cheaply if necessary since you already own windows.

    =====================================

    Another method would be to ensure that the malware is detected and deleted with internet access being
    restored.

    Try typing several times F8 as you start and select a Safe Mode with networking. If that works to proceed to the
    methods below. (You can try wired access and wireless if you have both available). If this does not work
    then use another computer to download the drivers and the necessary programs and transfer them to your machine
    on removable media.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them
    the Windows when you can.

    It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: you want to update the drivers WiFi and wired (NIC).

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
