I changed my motherboard and used instead of the version 64 bit version 32-bit now I can't activate windows.

I changed my motherboard and now I have to reactivate windows 7 but will not accept my activation code.  Error is "you can not use the key on this computer" or other similar term.  When I activated it initially, I used the 32-bit version, now, I have the 64 b because I have more ram.  The 64 bit 32 bit versions and came with the original package I bought.

Have you tried to restart by phone?

  • Replace my motherboard because of the storm, and now I can't activate Windows.

    Activation support

    My motherboard has been zapped during a storm, so I had to replace the RAM, PSU and video card. Everything is almost up and running, but now Windows wonder (because of hardware changes) to activate my copy of the operating system. He also told me that my PID has expired. Hard drives have not changed, only the above.

    I bought a family pack of Windows 7 Home Premium at Amazon in 2009 and installed on three computers that I have at home. Now, due to the change of equipment, it is not allowing me to enter the product key, I used when I first installed.

    Is a number or a resource that I can turn support free online?

    Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack is a upgrade license, which means you must have a license of previous qualifying installed on the disk. If the previous qualification license you had installed before the upgrade to Home Premium Family Pack in the old computer's preinstalled with it, this is why you see this message now.

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    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.

  • My hard drive has left an old system to a new system and now I can not activate Windows.

    Cannot download the drivers to activate Windows

    I spent two days now trying to get a computer at work, I've built. I use new parts other than my used hard drive previously. I was not able to install the drivers for my network so I'm stuck right with the activation screen when I connect. If I do not activate and then I get kicked out and have to log in again. I cannot connect to the network to turn on obviouly and when I call them they say my ID intillation in does not correct and they don't recognize it as a valid product. I then remove my hard drive and put it back in the old machine and as if by magic, it works fine after activation. How am I supposed to install my drivers so I can activate if I can't go to my screen to install? This is the second time that this happens, and I really not prefer to buy a new windows disk for something that already works.

    activation by telephone (call of the operator)
    Click the Start button
    in the search box, type
    SLUI 4
    and press the Enter key
    Follow the instructions, but when asked what service you need the ansafone phone, don't answer - it should oblige the operator to answer, who can deal with you

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
    (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.

  • Recently, I built a new computer and used my old hard drive. Now, I can't activate Windows XP via internet or telephone?

    Hello

    I recently built a new computer with a new motherboard, processor and RAM.  The computer works well, but I can't go through the activation of Windows XP.  I tried connecting via internet, and he said that I didn't have a connection, which I know that I do because I can connect to the internet on my motherboard cloud browser.  I tried to call the number that was given, but the computer says that it is not a valid product.  I know that my copy of Windows XP is valid - in my old system, it worked fine.

    Please help me to activate my version of Windows XP.

    If the old version of Windows XP is installed on the computer when you bought it, you invalidated the license by moving the hard drive to a new system.  This license lives and dies on the parent computer/card origin.  If it was a copy of the (bought in a store) retail of Windows, I'd recommend replace because move one disk hard from one computer to the other, sometimes translated as difficult solve incompatibilities due to driver problems.

    Hello raulganau, welcome.

    I suggest to try the system restore to restore the system to a date before the problem started. Try this...
    1. click on START
    2. click on "all programs".
    3. click on "Accessories".
    4. click on "system tools."
    5. click on "system restore."
    6 follow the instructions on the screen to restore the system to a date before the problem started
    Although the system restore does not target the personal data, I recommend always backup your personal data, just in case something happens.
    For reference, I have included a link that provides more specific information about the restoration of the system and how to use it:
    Let us know if it works,
    Thank you!

  • Upgraded to Windows 7 and had to replace the motherboard. Now can't activate Windows 7

    I have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 on my desktop Gateway in 2009. I just had the motherboard replaced and had to reload Windows 7. I reinstalled it as new instead of upgrading. Now I can not activate my key to Windows 7 upgrade. What can I do?

    Yes, you can purchase a copy full of the same edition of Windows is installed, and install the key by using the option change the product key.

    The quckest to do (not necessarily best) is to buy on Microsoft Store - they will email a key that you can use immediately.

    I subscribed an Acrobat Reader DC and unfortunately this is the version in English I and language of the I want changer pour the french. How do we?

    Hi Linda,.

    By default, it comes Setup language on your computer.

    I will recommend you to uninstall Acrobat Reader DC, run the cleanup tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs.

    Reboot your computer & download Acrobat Reader DC using this link Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution.

    * Make sure you choose language as "French" to step 2 for download.

    Let me know if you encounter any problem.

    Kind regards
