• No keyboard or the drivers after replacing motherboard - Windows 7 Pro 64

  Hi all

  I recently had to replace my motherboard - Gigabyte 990xa-ud3 and now there's no keyboard or the drivers once Windows loads.  Work fine in the bios.  I have 2 different keyboards to make sure that it wasn't the device and both have the same problem.  They appear to be the "other devices" in Device Manager, tried to update the drivers and uninstall them, and then search for the hardware changes.  I have also used the troubleshooting of Microsoft software "Fix - it" and still get the message «no driver» found  Run the sfc/scannow, attempt to repair the system using the installation disc.  Startup Repair returns not found or bad.

  According to gigabyte, it is a known, issue because the replacement mobo is a slightly different version than the original, which causes Windows to have this problem to prevent the movement of a hard drive to different machines.  Something about address and register when the OS has been installed using the old mobo.  This is an area I have little experience in, and now am not able to pay for the information on how to solve the problem.

  System information:

  Core of AMD 8120-8

  16 GB of ram

  Windows 7 pro oem

  Anyone had this issue and be able to fix it without making a complete new installation?

  Thank you

• Pavilion p6-2133w: upgrade Windows 10 Pro activation after replacing the processor and motherboard

  I upgraded a Pavilion P6 W10 Pro in September. Everything was going well until the motherboard and processor failed. When I replaced the hardware I am prompted to activate Windows - I have the product key for Windows 7 Home Prem OA office machine that does not work for W10 Pro. I don't know how W10 Pro ran six months and support MS insists I do decline to W10. Two questions.

  1 how W10 differ from the W10 Pro?
  2. How is this W10 Pro could have been improved in Windows 7 Home Prem OA? Looks like a decoy on the BONE.

  Greetings,

  The replacement of the mother/CPU card can be extra monkey wrench in this situation.

  You cannot use a key of Win 7 Home on Win 10 Pro.

  You will need to install Win 10 and then move on to Win 10 Pro. Win 10 going to Win 10 percent if you had an activated copy of win 10 Pro.

  1. other features such as BitLocker and domain join.

  2. I have no idea how you've gone from Win 7 Home win 10 Pro. Were you a BETA-Tester (Windows Insider program)? I upgraded from Win 7 to win 10 Pro, because I was a BETA-Tester,

  I just did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro but ignored the input of the product key. Windows activated, but not right away.

• How can I fix Windows XP OEM after replacing my motherboard computers?

  Replaced mother on board, how can I do a repair (the Win XP OEM retail box) of Win XP installation?

  original title: how to install Win xp oem retail repair?

  You can try to boot from the installation CD and select the repair option.  License of the OEM version is however considered as not valid once you replace the motherboard, unless it is the same brand and model as the original, then I wish you good luck!

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Windows Vista says not genuine after replaced motherboard

  I had to replace my motherboard recently, and now Windows Vista said that it not a copy not genuine (although it is). How can I sort this?

  If you have changed/improved your motherboard and it's a preinstalled OEM Vista license and that you have not done in collaboration with the computer manufacturer you have cancelled your vista license

• Laptop series dv9410us - Vista repair after replacing motherboard - instead of relocation?

  Laptop series dv9410us. Black screen. No startup. HP agreed to repair free of charge.

  I have a question. I tried to save my personal data, on the eve of the blackout, but received a message that the backup failed. So no backup of some important files seriously.

  My questions are:

  1. when the motherboard is replaced, it is necessary to do a full install of the operating system?

  2. I found a Microsoft article which suggests after installation of the motherboard, the necessary changes to the system to be back compatible with the operating system can be done by following the instructions in the article: that is to do a "repair" as opposed to a complete reinstallation of the operating system. Here is the article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/824125/en-us

  3. I know, he approaches the situation from the point of view of a repair of XP, but if a similar process can be done with Vista, personal data would not be eradicated for the sake of a complete reinstallation of the operating system. If the amendments could be made when the computer is in safe mode, could the personal data left intact?

  4. it is possible at the time of the repair of motherboard - when the laptop is being repaired?

  My information from all of its activities and thousands of product photographs hang in the balance.

  The MS article refers to a modification of the sheet material... for example if someone updated their motherboard with a Chipset, Audio, etc. Your motherboard will be replaced by another which is the same, maybe a more recent revision.

  You must be aware that sometimes Service HP work recovery and restore the machine back to the form of the plant, and no, they don't back up your files first. It is always recommended to back up important files before sendin a notebook.

  If you have things that you need, I would choose a hard drive USB enclosure or an adapter to fix the hard drive on another pc and copy them.

• Unable to activate Windows 7 after replacing the motherboard.

  Original title: Windows 7 will not turn on after replacing motherboard

  I have a question about activation for windows 7 and sound very similar to trend below:
  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-windows_install/the-product-key-you-typed-can-not-be-used-to/9f1eec2b-da6c-434D-8C61-e3710426f6e1?TM=1348445068808

  I had one laptop I had for 5 years. It came with windows vista installed on it.  About 4 months ago, I bought windows 7 Home premium allowed for Latin America and the Caribbean. I installed it on the laptop and it worked fine. Then about 2 months ago the motherboard on laptop computer exploded and I bought a new laptop provided with windows 7 pre-installed.

  I want to do a clean format of this new laptop with my windows 7 CD. I have a license key I had with the CD which, according to the trend above is not valid and I will not be able to activate windows (even though I own the copy) I have also another key, I had with the laptop.

  My question is if I use the installation CD I bought and used the activation key, that I got with my laptop that I'd be able to activate it?

  What if they are of the same edition would you be able to use the product at the bottom of the laptop key.

  Before we do, have you tried to restart by phone.

• XP Home OEM locked fixation after replacing the motherboard

  I am repairing a HP Pavilion with XP home SP3 locked to the motherboard fried as a favor to a friend.  My friend insists on XP and wants / needs to preserve installed programs & data on the disk (which is always good when tested elsewhere).  He has some company reprogramming s/w radio, which only works on XP.  We know that it will buy a commercial version.  I can't find what really works, said http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292607 that it can be upgraded to XP Pro (that he would) but which covers only SP1.  My proposed seller says House cannot be upgraded to Pro without a complete reinstallation and did not oem home home retail.  XP Mode under W7 pro is not an option, if the serial port-> time of radio is not quite right, expensive business radios becomes expensive bricks and it will not run the risk as it will be with XP on new MB/CPU.  There current image backups, but they are always blocked, of course.  The drive passes the test of the provider (in another machine, of course).

  Can XP Home SP3 OEM evolve into XP Pro SP3 without a reinstall (i.e. reformatting & install)?  Can XP Home SP3 OEM be 'upgraded' to XP Home SP3 detail without having to reinstall?  Is there a better way (with XP) to solve this problem?

  Thank you!

  Final result: after the installation of the new motherboard, the installation of XP Pro SP3 retail disc does not recognize the installed XP home SP3, said that he was not an operating system on the partition and did not offer an option to upgrade.  The software provider was right, and the article cited above wrong, at least for SP3-> SP3 on this particular configuration.

  Then, I started from the original hard disk and attempted an activation of the phone, which didn't.  The robovoice said of trying to update the license key, that I made using one on the COA, then try activation phone even once.

  It worked.  There are more drivers to dl and install, but the box still works with a new MB and dual core CPU without a reinstall or OS update.

  So despite all the stories about tattooed motherboards and cannot reactivate XP if they are replaced, the real recovery was relatively simple.

  Two points:

  1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
  you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

  2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
  motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
  disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
  the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
  If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
  legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
  the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
  license dies with him.

• Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
  So, how can I put the o/s back on?

  Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
  But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

  But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.
