If my laptop has a windows sticker is it OEM?
I have an old laptop that has windows 7 Home Premium running with a windows license that was authentic, I brought it like that, it has a sticker on the bottom with a product key to this topic. My question is, is this an OEM sticker. Because I want to transfer my license to another computer, but I can't do that with an OEM version because the operating system is related to the motherboard!

Unfortunately, you can't because it's an OEM license.
The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

Retrieve the product key Windows 7 Pro when the laptop has been restored to Windows Vista
My laptop fujitsu has been sent for repair; the technician has restored the settings to factory default which wiped out the Professional Windows 7 operating system. My laptop has been improved by Windows Vista Edition Fujitsu Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional during a previous repair. How one don't get the product key for Windows 7 Professional in this case? Should I inform Microsoft of my laptop series No. to recover the product key of Windows 7 Professional? If so, then how do then? Thank you very much for your quick response.
If the machine has been 'improved' during a repair - then they must have attached the relevant sticker of COA or PoL card to the machine.
If they don't, and you do not specifically for the upgrade, then it has never been a valid upgrade.

Does anyone has installed Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion DV2175
If anyone has installed Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion DV2175 and if so it is 32 or 64 bit
Hello:
There is an unofficial update guide to windows 7 for the series dv2000.
Given that the maximum amount of memory, that you can install on your laptop is only 2 GB, I'd go with W7 32 bit, as a 64 bit OS requires more memory and disk space to run a 32 bit OS only.
Not double, but more.

HP pavilion 15 laptop: update for Windows 10 laptop has removed Bluetooth?
Product number: F4T58EA #ABU
After that I updated my windows 8.1 to windows 10 laptop remove bluetooth.
There is no option in the settings to enable or disable. Nothing to do with bluetooth has completely disapperaed.
I looked through device controller speaker, but there wasn't anything that had name bluetooths. I also looked through the computer management services and found two bluetooth, Bluetooth Handsfree and service support of Bluetooth services. they were both the value of manual start and weren't running. I started them and implement autostart. It makes no changes to the problem though.
I think the problem is my bluetooth drivers are outdated and maybe I just need to reinstall drivers. But I don't know what my bluetooth card is. Update of drivers for other hardware has solved one problem with my PC after windows 10 updated.
It's just the Windows bluetooth service.
Each PC has this programming if it has bluetooth or not.
Al, I can tell you, it's that your laptop has never come with BT

I bought a laptop with a windows xp pro, I have the serial number, but I don't have the installation disc. How can I know which version I need? SP3 has not worked... at the moment I am testing SP1
The serial number of the computer has nothing to do with the product key for Windows.
What happened when you tried to install Xp with sp3? If you do not have the original for the computer that you use to install Windows?
You can try to contact the manufacturer of the computer who may be able to provide the recovery disc. The disks are usually under $ 20.

When I connect to Windows 7 after my laptop has been asleep, the Welcome screen will block for always (10 + minutes). It does not every time, but maybe once all 5 or 6 times and it's happened lately. I can just shut the computer off and the newspaper with no problem after starting it upward, but I'm afraid, there may come a time where it does not work.
I had this problem since I got my computer 2 months ago so I don't think it's related to what I have installed. Has anyone else encountered this problem and has found a way to fix it? Is this a common bug in all of Windows 7?

I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new laptop, but it doesn't recognize my RAW files. In addition, repeated attempts to make available updates failed. The laptop has 8.1 Windows 64-bit.
You can manually download and install updates:
Adobe - Photoshop: For Windows: Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 updated for Adobe Photoshop CS5
Adobe - Photoshop: for Windows: Camera Raw 6.7 update
There is something to do with the help of CS5 > update function, but as far as I know it does work as expected more.

After careful consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to find out that it is not available to me that my laptop has Windows Vista. What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an older version like Ps5 or 6?
1 can't read on a Windows "upgrade version" which, in my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... updated on what you have, without disturbing programs installed... at least that's what happened the ONLY time wherever I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% guarantee that it will work with your computer in this way... search link for all the things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
2 - depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run programs CC well, or not at all
3 CS6 is 3 years and is the ONLY non - CC version always sold... unless you can find a "legal" somewhere CS5

My Acer 5745 laptop crashed, my backup boot drive does not work. The laptop was running Windows 7 when I bought new in November 2010. Y at - it somewhere that I can download a floppy or a recovery disc? 'The Source' store where I bought will not help, they said they had to go back to Acer and it could take up to two months to return to a charge of about $170.
Thanks for any help, someone might be able to give.
A laptop bought at that date will still be under warranty, there should be no costs involved, contact Acer technical support.
I guess by the backup startup disk, you mean the set of recovery disks you did when you first used the PC?
