• Reinstall Windows 7 using the same product key on another computer.

  I bought a product key on the Microsoft site, and a few days later I received the disks by mail (a year ago). I now use it on this computer, I plan on building a new computer soon. I'll be able to disable this old computer product key and activate it on the new?

  Just remove it from the computer, on which it is currently installed and proceed to install on the new and reactivated by phone.

  Please note:

  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.

  I have a folder of photos that I opened to see several thumbnails. I can left click on a picture and it will open full screen. Then I left click on this image and the next should show but nothing happens. I can use the keyboard arrows to move to the next photo, but I can't use the mouse. The left click works for everything I use it for. I've used regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll and he said DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shimgvw.dll succeeded. This does not solve the problem. This isn't a big deal, it just bugs _ on me because I'm a perfectionist. Thank you for your response and any other help would be appreciated.

• Install the SP1 OEM Win7, but use the license key of Windows 7 without SP1 retail

  Hi all:

  I had to order a new pc Intel NUC and to use the key to a copy the retail of Windows 7 HP without SP1, but prefer to use a usb key ISO a Win7 OEM with sp1 to install.   This new Windows O.S. facility will replace the copy that was previously on a homemade HTPC I have now in the bedroom using Linux Mint with XBMC.  I'm not sure that I can activate the OEM with SP1 version with a key to a retail version that did not have SP1.   I already made an ISO and copied on a USB key using the Microsoft tool.  I hope someone can tell me that it will work or I have to start all over again and make an ISO using the original retail disk before installing?

  Yes, you can, as long as they are the same edition.

  SP1 or RTM (non - SP1), it doesn't matter, as long as you have a key corresponding to the edition being installed.

• How clone a HARD drive and then use the clone with VMware (as well as Windows works!)?

  I have a system where Windows 7 is installed, and I'm doing a clone of her image of HARD drive, I then want to use in my main with VMware PC, so that I can start Windows 7 at the cloned disk.

  I used Ultimate Boot CD v5.1.1 with which HDD I wanted to clone, and I cloned using EaseUs Disk Copy, which comes with Ultimate Boot CD. The source HARD drive was 250 GB in size which had 3 partitions, while the USB HDD I have attached to the system, which was supposed to be the disk of destination/clone, was 320 GB in size. I chose to create a replica, exact and up to 250 GB of data (partitions, etc.) has been copied exactly, and the rest of space was not allocated. I have now connected this USB HDD to my main PC, shot to the top of VMware Workstation 8 and defined a new Virtual Machine and chose to boot from the USB HDD.

  The result is that when Windows starts (from the cloned HDD inside VMware), I get the blue screen error until I get to the login screen.

  How can I change my methodology so that Windows starts even on the clone? I can change the tools I use, etc.

  You can use the usb drive is
  you only need to patch the system a little registry
  to do this, you start the virtual machine with the usb drive in a restore win7 CD, and then follow the instructions I posted here
  http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html

  Patching - easy Variant

  This procedure is used when otherwise the VM would start in a kind of bluescreen 7B.
  This means that VMware is the target and that you configure the computer virtual with VirtualHardware type 7.
  It applies only if the virtual disk is configured like this
  scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068".
  scsi0:0. FileName = "imported.vmdk".

  On the platform target start the virtual machine, newly created in the Windows 7 recovery CD.
  After the initialization is complete, click CMD and run regedit.
  Select HKLM, then Menu > file > load hive.
  Navigate to the Windows directory on the virtualdisk > system32\config and select the file SYSTEM.
  When asked for a name enter p2v.
  Then find the key

  HKLM\p2v\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS

  and the startup type of the REG_DWORD value 0
  Select HKLM\p2v, and then click Menu > file > unload hive.
  You can now close regedit and restart.
  The next time you start, you can start in the 2008 R2 system. He should find the drivers and probably need to reboot when finished.
