If I install windows 7 oem (for system integrators), I'll have to get a new copy if I update my gpu or ram memory?
Recently, I built a system. But I'm not doing upgradeing it. The motherboard and processor will not change. but other material. Anyone know?
Hi smlunatick,.
Yes the hardware changes can make you reactivate your copy of Windows. If you have a key, you should be able to activate using phone support.
I hope this helps!

I lost my CD of Windows XP OEM for system integrator, but still have the cd - key
Hello
My system is corrupt and I need to reinstall Windows XP Professional on my computer.
I have lost my Windows XP Professional OEM cd, if I still have the cd - key.
Anyway, or no matter what number I can contact to get a new cd or other alternatives?
Thank you very much
New CD no longer exists.
Since you still have the valid key, you need to somehow know is how to get one of these CDs. If you're lucky, you know someone who has one. It will work with your key. But it must be authentic, of course!If a friend of yours and if they give you an image .iso of it, then you must verify that these are the hash values:MD5: 9BB3CB003E2C6005FCCC28C305BE05FF
SHA1: DDA4AC450B2174CAC6C15295711330160C237418Otherwise, you will probably wind upward with a version riddled with malware (creeping on the Internet of course) and you should certainly avoid at all costs the versions of malware in prey. -

Can I get a new copy of Windows Vista?
Hello
I'm fixing a PC from one of my friends, unfortunately it has formatted the C drive (I guess he thought it was a good idea?). Anyway, he doesn't have his original copy of windows vista that came with the PC, but the product key is on the side of the tower. Is there a way to get a new copy of vista that works with the product key?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Why you're not able to get the new June 20th, 2016 updates on your creative cloud, if you are running Windows 7.
So I spent all day on this because Adobe did not anywhere that I could find it. But I'm hoping some of you to save a lot of time wasted... you can't upgrade to the latest version of the application if you have not all updates to Windows 7.If you're like me and do not want anything to do with the Windows updates... you may encounter the same problem. Summer/don't I am not at all interested in Windows 10 (who they are sneaking into regular updates) so I don't usually have enabled updates. If you don't... you cannot upgrade your program to the latest version. Creative cloud not even give the option.
I think it's the Microsoft Visual C++ or something like that who needs update to run the latest version of the software... If you do not have it on your system, you do not install the new updates properly, but be careful not to download sneaky windows 10 "update." Know how it's called blindly here before update you.
I hope that helps some of you save a whole day unnecessarily.
