I have a retail version of Windows 7 (home premium). I buy a new motherboard, processor and RAM. Will be my install of Windows 7 function properly?

As mentioned, I have a full commercial copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and I'm on the point to replace my motherboard, processor and RAM.  Windows 7 will work properly?  If this is not the case, what should I do to make this happen?  Thank you!

Hello

With a license for the retail of Windows 7, you can change any material you want.

You will probably have to reinstall windows 7 as the 'old' motherboard drivers will be always installed on this drive hard (if you use the same drive where Windows 7 is already installed), so that he will probably not start correctly.

You can even move a license to retail to another computer if that never fails

The rule is: a license for a single installation.

Here's how to do a clean install of Windows 7.

http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-Windows-7-a.html

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

And change a large part of the material probably will ask you to activate again.

"How to activate Windows 7 by phone '

http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/18715-activate-Windows-7-phone.html

9. If the automated Service is unsuccessful

(A) if the automatic activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Windows 7. If you get suspended under all pending, then phone back, but this time DO NOT respond when the ansafone asks what service you need (twice). This puts in the queue to speak to an engine and does not appear to expire so fast. The operator will give you a confirmation ID number if they accept that your copy of Windows 7 is legitimate.
NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Windows 7 on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

See you soon.

    Hello

    The product key you use to install could be a volume license key, you can contact your network administrator to download the iso from this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and install the W8. The W8 will be key during the installation or is installed with the default key that will work for 30 days. If it is installed with a default key, you can change the product key with the suite of measures

    -Run as administrator command line
    -Enter the following command

    slmgr.vbs-ipk TYPE-YOUR-KEY-RIGHT-HERE
    -Now go to the properties of your computer and click on activate Windows.

  • Accidentally, I bought the Windows 7 Professional upgrade and does not have an earlier version of Windows

    Hello

    Recently I bought Windows 7 Professional upgrade because of the student discount, I had about it, not realizing it was only an upgrade. I do not have an earlier version of windows, and so now I have a copy of UN activated Windows. My question is can I buy an old vista or XP and just plug this code? It is said the upgrade works from previous versions and because I already bought the upgrade I look forward to having to buy a brand to the copy of windows 7, if I buy xp or vista.
    Thanks for your help.
    -Bill

    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.

    Note: You will not have to activate the previous license, just install.

    Option 2:

    Call the Activation Center and explain your situation.

    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.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

  • Change of motherboard, cpu and ram by using the version of upgrade of windows 7

    I plan on upgrading my motherboard, cpu and ram. I am using windows 7 Home premium that I have updated from xp using a retail upgrade disc that I bought from a company of national computer supplies. Should I have any problems activating this the wrench that came with the drive. I have read several posts on this but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Help, please!

    Well, Windows XP and Windows 7 are versions of upgrade as you claim, that means XP used a qualifying version of Windows that is pre-installed with the system used the upgrade of the command.

    This means, Windows XP and Windows 7 are both related to this version of Windows that came with the system. Because the copy of the original Windows supplied with the system would have been an OEM license, which means, Windows 7 and XP have more rights to transfer if you change the motherboard.

    You can always try a clean install with upgrade.

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    I have Adobe form CC on my phone - like the potential of the app, but I have an older version of Illustrator at home so I can't go to my library. I have an updated version of the Illustrator to work and I understand that I must 'share' my library with my computer from work/account but unfortunately, we're not allowed to do this on my place of work. Is it possible that I can share old school/manually these Shape files? PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

    Hi Nancy,.

    I'm really sorry, but there is no way to import forms in older versions of Illustrator; the application records in libraries that are available in the latest versions of creative cloud of Office Automation. You can introduce forms in Adobe Illustrator to draw, but which does not help you no more, because in the end, you can send this file to Illustrator CC as well.

    This is a feature that many people have been so request; I am not sure if she will ever be integrated into the CC form.

    Wish I could be more useful.
