• OEM version of Windows

  I started PC repair services in my area. And especially the client, that they do not have disk to install windows that they have fair windows serial key printed on the CPU or the back of the laptop. Can I use the OEM version of windows to rebuild several computers (of a generator system point of view)?

  You just need a classic Installation Vista FULL disc (one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit - each contains all versions of Vista).  You can use these didks to re - install operating systems; However, you must use the product key provided by the customer and only install the same version of Vista they had on their system and which corresponds to its product key!  If they have a Vista upgrade version, you must first install the program original before you can improve it (you can't just install the full product or the key will not activate).  You cannot use the product keys of these two drives on more than one machine at a time - so if the customer lost its product key you will not be able to help them as they will eventually be uable to activate and who will essentially stop the system.  You just can't use an OEM version of the disc (for one thing - it often contains premanente programs and special device drivers you don "t want to be installed and you do not have OEM rights to do as they have agreements with other vendors that include additional software or information).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Install an OEM version of WIndows XP Home SP2 on multiple computers, "Dell".

  Why is it possible to install an OEM version of Windows XP Home SP2 on multiple computers from Dell and have activated but not saved? Every Dell computer has its own product key sticker, but apparently this key on the sticker does not match the key that is part of the Dell reinstallation CD. I have this key finder utility that displays the same product key from the registry of each computer Dell. And that the key is not the same as the key on the sticker product key of the computer.

  Dell (and other important OEM) have the right to use a special type of results to 1) facilitate easy mass on preinstalled systems deployment and 2) allow a user to reinstall Windows without the headaches of activation (including situations where the COA is not more readable, etc.).  This activation includes a generic product key, called a key SLP (System Locked Preinstallation), and because it is generic for the purposes of OEM activation, he 1) does not work when used by itself and 2) does not match the product key on the certificate of authenticity.  The COA is your rights real run/use Windows software.  Occasionally, you may be asked to activate Windows (because of the corruption, hardware replacement, installation media unpaired, etc), in this case, the COA product key will work to activate Windows.  With Vista + your COA product key can be used to activate an installation from the media non - SLP (or "retail"), although telephone activation is usually required.  Although generally, it will install and activate, you are ONLY allowed to install Windows using SLP/OEM media on computers that have an accompanying person and COST of qualification for this OS (or down).

  If I buy a copy of the oem version of Windows 7 is it possible to upgrade to Windows 10?

  Yes, you can upgrade from versions of Windows 7 OEM to Windows 10:

  • How to download official Windows 10 ISO files
  • How to: upgrade previous versions of Windows using the file ISO for Windows 10

  Please note that you must take advantage of the free upgrade offer before July 30, 2015.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  bought photoshop elements 11 year last for windows and use it in my office. The office is now crashed and not usable. So I bought iMac now. Is it possible to make the trade more to change the license in version iMac for a small fee. Otherwise, I can partition the hard drive in the iMac and install windows and also photoshop elements?

  A license of Photoshop Elements is good for Mac and Windows, it should be just a matter of download the Mac version and using your serial number to activate it.

• Cannot change the license OEM keys in XP Pro

  I installed XP Pro on a laptop of Levovo using Lenovo recovery media, no tricks all 100% according to the rules. Now, I want to change the license key of the OEM key to our valid XP Pro volume license key.and get the incorrect product key. We have a handful of laptops that need XP and they get to slow down and want to reload with Lenovo XP.

  You * may * be able to use the product key update tool - it usually works the other way around (from Volume to the retail/OEM), but it can also act the way you want.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows/help/genuine/product-key

  Normally, however, you must install a Volume with Volume media license - especially in WIn XP.

  Also note that a Volume license can only upgrade a valid original OS - Win XP Pro in this case.

  Since we have no way to know what you
  already tried or what the program that has been
  you were happy with... this question is difficult to
  fix.

  Question... When you view your photos now
  .. are you using Windows Live Photo Gallery?

  I'm guessing it was Windows Photo
  Gallery?

  Perhaps the two programs are still available...

  I wonder if you could go to... Start Orb / All

  the launch of the old version?
