If I have to buy a new license for Windows if I replace the mother/CPU card
Original title:Win 7 OEM + new motherboard
I have a prégénérée with Windows preinstalled machine and the mother/cpu card must be replaced. If I replace them should I buy a new Windows license?
Thank you
There are provisions for the replacement of defective motherboards without the need to buy another license OEM, this isn't really a problem for major pc manufacturers that replace motherboards warranty. Small manufacturers have a leeway as long as the motherboard is designed as a replacement for a defective. If the motherboard is replaced as an 'upgrade' then the terms of this EULA do not allow this.

I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista
Hello
How to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

What I have to buy a new version of windows, because my hard drive crashed?
My computer hard drive crashed and had to be replaced. After replaceing I, of course, lost my program of windows 7, it has been installed at the factory. I don't have a DVD. Do I have to buy a new version of windows 7 to 8 or is there a place to reload windows?
You can opt for a recovery disc from the manufacturer that will put your system to the way it was when it is new, or you can download the version of Windows 7 which shows on the COA sticker and use the code too...
Make sure that the COA key code is readable before you download the ISO, because without it, the ISO has no value. You should also keep a note of the key code in a safe place.
Select the version on your COA sticker...
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 - U ISO
English x 86: X 17 - 59463.iso

Product keys are not sold separately, but you can buy a license for sale at retail and use the packaging product key:
Microsoft is no longer at the price of Windows 7 because it ended sales in October 2013, so you will have to turn to third party providers who might still have in stock. Please note, due to demand and scarcity, there could be no available retail license and you may have to settle for licenses OEM System Builder, which are just as effective but come with license restrictions (which to be honest, are not a lot of weight, given that all future versions of Windows are full anyway (Windows 8.1 and later) versions. Please note that you must purchase the corresponding edition that corresponds with the drive you have:
Where can I still get Windows 7?

Do I have to buy a new license if my hard drive breaks down?
I recently bought an upgrade from vista to windows7. I have everything backed up before upgrading, but couldn't do it once the upgrade is complete. About 3 days after I installed upgrading of primary and secondary hard drives both failed... Obviously, portable hard drive do not last as long as computers desktop and 5 years is a long life of your laptop, or so I thought. in any case, I have two new 750 GB momentus xt hybrid SSD of HD and I'm ready to rock but no OS because the key does not work since is not attached to the HD crashed. Any ideas? Please help, I am already tired of using my laptop to marry; his old and say that it is the turtle, and not the rabbit would be cruel to the turtle.
Like you bought an 'upgrade' I presume that you have actually installed as such on your failed HARD drive now.
With a new drive HARD vacuum, you have no earlier version of the OS (Vista) for the drive of W7 upgrade to recognize.
This may be a workaround,
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/31402-clean-install-upgrade-Windows-7-version.html
or if it does not work you can try this method of double installation Vista, which is a valid path to a clean install.
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/68767-clean-install-upgrade-Vista.html
If it will not always turn on then you are going to have to plead your case to MS via the telephone support option.
It is up to you to ensure that your license is valid and that you do not violate the EULA

I had to buy a new disc for Windows 7 I have install all previous versions of Windows?
I have a C drive which is now too small, and I need to buy a hard drive much more. I am running Windows 7 64 bit (complete edition). I've been buying upgrades from Windows 2000, each new version upgrade. Is it possible to install Windows 7 without first installing all previous editions (which some may not even install on my hardware correctly, it was so long I don't remember what works and does not install). I have all the installation discs that dates back to Windows 2000 (XP Vista, then 7, then), as well as all product keys. Help is greatly appreciated.
Moving the entire image will leave you with all the dross that comes with windows-based long-standing through of many upgrades that you did

Buy a new battery for Pavilion dv4. Confirming the compatibility of battery KS526AA.
I ran a diagnostic battery last night after that I had trouble keeping my battery charged. It must be replaced. I think I found the battery on Amazon: it's a KS526AA. I found the battery on the HP Web site as well, but this product does not list what laptops, it is compatible with. I know the standard dv4 is a KS524AA, but I wouldn't mind the extended battery, just as long as it works.
Does anyone know phones compatible for the KS526AA or that the batteries are compatible with a Pavilion dv4?
Thank you!
It depends on the specific dv4 series you are referring. Here is the battery compatibility chart: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/HP_NB_Battery_Compatibility_Chart.pdf

I have photoshop elements for my windows computer. I recently bought a mac, can I use the same program or do I have to buy a new one?
Impossible to use the same program because there are different versions for Windows and Mac. But you might be able to use the same license - he can count on what version you have. Older versions used the same serial number to use on each platform, while the most recent purchases are generally for one platform only unless you specifically buy a cross-platform license.

If vista is preinstalled, motherboards change should be done in conjunction with the manufcacturer of the computer
preinstalled OEM licenses are tired to the original material on which they are installed

I have a copy of windows vista that I installed on my laptop, I am looking to buy a new PC soon, what I have to buy a new copy of vista, or can I use my code on my new PC? I do not plan to use my laptop again once I get this PC is it possible to transfer the license via?No problem.
First of all, backup all your data of the laptop if you have not already.
When you have done this, the best way to do this is to delete the partition with Vista on it. See the website below for more information:
http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm
Once you have finished deleting your partition, the laptop will have nothing about it, so you can choose to reinstall an earlier version of Windows or simply put away to deal with later. You can now legally install the copy of Windows Vista on your new machine.

Thanks in advanceyou have two problems:
1. you use an Acer OEM SLP key on a motherboard retail. that does not work.2. your license is OEM and cannot be transferred to a new motherboard. (the only exception is specified replacement manufacturers had to make defection)If you have a certificate of authenticity windows 7 you can try to change the product key of your COA and activate by phone. There is a chance that they will be activate it for you.OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates
