If I have an OEM, license and decide to improve

I have a dell oem license and I wanted to know if I update I will be able to change it to another pc. that it out of each other

You use this OEM license as part of the basis for the upgrade.
If you don't have it, you should buy a FULL license instead of an upgrade license.

And certain rules of Licening for you:

If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

A single license is a single Installation.

See you soon.

  • Reinstallation of Windows 7 with OEM license with an OEM license and the manufacturer's warranty expired

    My hard drive starts to die, if I want to backup all my data and be ready in case it fails. One of the things on my list of verification is to ensure that I can reinstall Windows 7 if need be.

    I don't have in my possession a Windows reinstallation disk, so I want to create a USB bootable for windows 7. The link to the .isos DIgital River that I use to create my bootable USB key doesn't work for users with OEM licenses. Very annoying, but I can legally get a Dell reinstall drive instead. But Dell wouldn't send me reinstallation disks because my warranty with Dell expired.

    The result of this is that if your a manufacturer guarantee expired, you can no longer reinstall windows on the same computer!

    Dell says it is responsible for providing the relevant recovery media, including Windows used to do with the Digital River .isos, but who no longer work for people with Microsoft's Windows 7 OEM license. Microsoft says that it is the responsibility of Dell to provide its customers with the recovery media (disks to reinstall windows) in the first place. Personally, I'm not interested in the blame game - I just want to have access to a recovery media so I have the option of legally re - install windows 7 in the future with my OEM license.

    Can you help me with this problem? Thank you.

    Downloads Microsoft removing the Digital River and replacing them with a non-functional tool are extremely boring.

    If you can still start, update Dell backup and restore to the latest version:

    Make a USB (older than 2012 systems) recovery or recovery external hard drive (more recent than 2012 systems):

    Boot from it to the new hard drive and use it to reinstall. Recovery media is using earlier versions may not work on the new disks.

  • We have an oem vista and you have purchased an upgrade to windows 7. This will improve the vista or it won't work, because we have an oem version?

    We have vista oem

    Bought a pack of upgrade
    Worried it does not level as we have oem
    Will I buy a new oem version of windows 7?

    All editions of Windows Vista are eligible for licenses for the Windows 7 upgrade, there are a few flats according to the architecture and edition of Vista you are running and which edition of Windows 7 and you intend to move to the architecture.

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • OEM license question

    Hello

    I just upgraded my desktop computer: I have replace the card mother + CPU + RAM + GPU. I have install Windows7 OEM version in this new system.

    I am about to sell my old equipment as a set card mother + RAM + CPU + GPU - basically an entire computer under drive hard-disk/optical/case/keyboard/mouse. Now, I had a version of Windows VISTA OEM specific to this system. Am I allowed to include in my sale, since it is the OEM version, attached to the original mother/CPU/GPU card?

    A buyer might have trouble to install/activate this version because it will be on a new hard drive?

    Thanks for your help.


    No, there no need to include the hard drive.  If it's even computer it can be re-installed on this computer (and ONLY this computer) if theonly change is a new player that you seem to be saying now hard (and you can probably also bring another device changes as well as long as it's the same computer).  It cannot be moved to another computer, regardless of how much of the old computer, move you with him - it must be the original, same computer only.  It is acceptable but not what I initially understood.

    My problem is using the OEM Windows 7 disk on another machine, but now it seems that it is a new machine that came with this OEM license and re-installed on this same new machine.  It is also acceptable.

    The issue in both cases change motherboard (and all that of other things).  It's the people of Activation or not they want to examine the same computer or not.  Since the automated process does not work, you will need to talk to them and explain the situation and hope that they decide to allow the activaion because rules when so many changes are done become a bit vague and open to interpretation.  I suggest that you select one that you want to sell before sale to ensure that it is permissible and we meet with a problem after the sale.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite L300: Vista complains that I don't have a genuine license

    Hello

    I recently installed a new hard drive in my laptop Toshiba L300 the previous died.

    I tried using the recovery disk and it ended fine,.
    However when Vista loads to the top it complains that I do not have a genuine license and wil allows me not, log.

    It allows only the possibility to buy a license.

    Has anyone encountered this before? and can provide me with any assistance.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Dull strange thing. Did you really use the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    I mean the image of Toshiba on the Toshiba Recovery disk is already enabled and you need t to enter the serial key to activate the Vista operating system.

    You should also know that the serial key which is placed at the bottom of the device will not work with a genuine version of Microsoft Vista.
    This is an OEM key that belongs to tot eh Vista preinstalled Toshiba!

  • I have no disks, but have to get Vista and MS Office 2007 on a new PC from my old. Thank you, Alan

    My PC died and a pre-installed Vista & pre installed MS Office 2007. I need (if poss) to bring them to a new PC - is anyone know how? One of the problems is that my then "IT Consultant" active Office 2007 on 3 PC's at the same time, and even though I have activation keys, I know not that you belong to what PC. 2 other computers work properly in order to access the news and maybe by a process of elimination working key that is relevant for the PC dead. Thank you, Alan

    Hello Alan HKK.

    As Vista was preinstalled you cannot move it to another PC.

    A Vista preinstalled (from HP, Acer, etc..) License is called an OEM license and is related to the 1st computer on which it is installed on.

    It is related to this PC for the life of this PC and dies when the PC dies.

    The licenses of Vista at retail are licenses that can be transferred to another PC.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Like you bought a pack of 3 of the office, you can transfer licenses of office from PC to PC.

    To find the office key on PC dead by process of elimination, try one of these programs to check the keys on the other 2 PC.

    Try one of these 2 programs:

  • Windows 7 Home Premium OEM license use

    Hello

    I am a technician in a primary school.
    Instead of buying pre built computers, I think building 24 'in house' of components purchased online.
    I already have 24 Windows 7 Professional Upgrade licenses.
    As I build machines from scratch can I use Windows 7 Home Premium OEM license and media and then upgrade to Windows 7 Professional using the licenses that I have already?
    Thank you.

  • I have a new motherboard and windows do not accept my legitimate product key.

    I rebuilt my system with all new disks ssd and MB and of course my LEGITIMATE code is not accepted, VERY frustrating. Tried many different methods and need this resolved. Any suggestions that don't require bilingual skills?

    You probably have an OEM license that cannot be transferred to a different motherboard.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )

    Once downloaded, run the tool.

    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.

    Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message. (please do not change the report.)

  • Windows 8.1 OEM key and new motherboard

    My laptop was broken so it's under waarranty and they changed the motherboard and now I want to activate my windows 8.1 upgrade to 10 but I n t have the oem key, and that key is not in the bios becaut now, I have a new motherboard.

    How can I activate my windows again?

    Hello

    Sorry to hear that Atrium... obviously service agents forgot to update the Windows key after the replacement of the motherboard.
    As far as I know the key OEM activation process must be done before performing the recovery process...

    What shall I say I see no other way to communicate with the service in order to solve this problem... once more talk to the guy and I'm sure they know what to do

  • License and register

    Hi, I have struck the license and register the button library on a number of images, thinking I was saving them just to my library. I was wondering what have I actually did and will I will I be charged for these outside my normal allowance? Thank you, Nicky.

    Hi Nicola,

    We see that you have a license 6 images on June 21, 16.

    Yes! Once you click on 'License and Save to Computer' OR 'Save in the library' - it uses the license of your real job.

    You can get these images by clicking on your name on the top right then go on "history of license."

    In your case, you have consumed 6 licenses of your total number of assignments of licenses of these images and the images are now saved in your library.

    You can go through the link below for reference: using Adobe Stock

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • Re: Satellite M70-168: new HD and OEM license

    Hello

    My Satellite is out of warranty...
    Original HD (80 gb) broke, and it is impossible to find the same HD.
    I'll replace it with a HGST Travelstar 5 K 750 HTS547575A9E384 - HD - 750 GB - SATA-300.

    1. I think that 2 Sata (sata 300) is compatible, but work to only at speed of sata 1 (sata 150). Is this a problem?
    2. restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first inning, license is OEM allow this work, or block the restoration?

    Sorry for my bad language... Frenchie Frenchie's

    Thank you very much.

    Satellite M70 is old but good laptop and with the new drive HARD and clean OS preinstalled, it should work well. I had it a long time ago and if I m remembering well there connector SATA HDD SATA HDD can be used.

    I think 750GB can be too much and I don t know if it will work OK. Used mine M70 with 320 GB of HARD drive.
    You can test it, but please post comments.
    > Do to restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first round
    You can use the original picture but if I m remembering well that old book has been delivered with the recovery disk (WXP Home) and I put t know what you have created.
    > OEM license allow this work, nor block the restoration
    As far as I know, the license of the sticker belongs to the recovery image and you cannot use it for the activation of the operating system. If you use original recovery DVD that you got with your laptop you don t need. preloaded will be activated automatically.
