If I buy Windows 7 OS, how many times am I going to be able to reload my complete OS in case that I have to due to virus attacks?

I understand that my XP Pro. Operating system will not be supported after 2014. I'm considering buying Windows 7 OS for my computer Netronics. The complete set of OS software seems to be, plus about $ 400. My computer is old, 2 HD CPU Speed with 750 MB of ram. I hope that I can move the ram to 1 GB or more.

I had to reload my software XP Pro half a dozen times over the years because of my stupidity and virus successfully attacks and the crud of software spies screwing with my software.
The new software has a limit to how many times it to load on my system? What happens if I choose to update my motherboard in the future, him Windows 7 operating system will "travel" in the new motherboard without difficulty, or the Microsoft 7 operating system will not allow this type of "significant change in the architecture of the system?

The full retail license allows you to reinstall and reactivate as many times as you like on the same computer.

Windows can be activated at any number of times, but your re-activation experience will vary depending on how you acquired Windows.

  • If you acquired Windows through buying the retail (product in box), you can activate via Internet the first five times. Activations are allowed but must be supplemented by telephone.

  • If you buy Windows preinstalled on a computer, reinstalling require no additional activation measures unless significant material changes have been made.

To activate Windows on this computer, follow these steps:

Open Activation of Windows by clicking on the Start button > click computer > click Properties > click on "click here to activate Windows now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

For more information about Windows activation, please click on the following link:

Activating Windows: Frequently asked questions

If you need to reload Windows 7 often, I suggest you invest in an external hard drive, when you first install and activate Windows 7, you must create a system image.

http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

When you need to reinstall Windows 7 in the future, simply restore the image of the system, it will exempt the need to reactivate Windows 7.

Make a significant change, however, if reactivation by phone:

    There is a chance that the free VLC Media Player

  • How many times Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows

    As the questions indicates how many times you can activate Windows Vista Business? I would like to know because I had to activate Windows 3 - 4 times on a course of 3 days. Is there a limit to the number of times where Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows on the same computer with the same configuration?

    Thank you

    Hi Victor,

    The answer to your question would be both 'yes' and 'no '.

    IIRC, there is a limit on the number of times your license can be activated via the Internet.

    However, after the limit is reached, you can still call them for telephone activation.

    (You will have to wait before the automated voice system to reach a real person tho)

  • How many times windows empty cache on disk

    I have an SSD, with write cache enable and using write cache flushing flushing buffer (i.e., uchecked, not turned off).

    I read that this means that windows periodically empty the contents.

    My question is: how many times windows empty the cache (if you need to)? Every second, every minute, every time that the drive is idle or?

    Thank you

    Yes, don't worry about this at all. Not worth your energy. The only possible way for the loss of data is a sudden failure.

  • Windows 8 pro. How many times can be installed/reinstalled on a PC?

    How many times can we re-install Windows 8 pro on a PC?

    I'm not entirely sure what exactly is the problem, but I need to re - install again. I heard that a phone may be necessary after so many times. Also I heard that a phone call may be required to install the new equipment, although it seems to be different for many users.

    VM

    You can re - install on the same exact material at least 4 times before requiring a phone call

    You may need to call as soon as possible if you change hardware.

    This assumes that you have an OEM license.  If you have a full commercial license, you can change your hardware.

  • Re-install Windows 8 pro on PC, how many times before that the product key is not valid?

    Due to problems with Windows Update, and more specifically by using the 8.1 free update, I had some problems and have re-isntalled twice now on this PC.

    You install previous motherboard no re-day after the first installation.

    First install on the replacement motherboard activated via telephone due to the new material.

    2 more reinstall without a phone on the same PC.

    The general consensus is that, once you get to the installation of 5th Activation of the phone is necessary.

    How many times before that the product key is not valid?

    I only ask that the errors are related to data that is not stored on my PC.  and given that Windows 8 is nowhere near the performance and stabilty before I used the App store update I have to reinstall until it's resolved.

    Required to reactivate by phone after the 5th reinstalled only happen based on the license.

    If you make significant changes with a license pre-installed as a motherboard, then you will not be able to use the phone or Internet activation.
