I just want to know after the formatting and the license of windows 7 OEM loading if my system will work and also if the windows are enabled.

  Please, your urgent response is needed here.

  Hello

  You don't say where you got the OEM Windows 7 license of.

  If you got it from another computer, the answer is no.

  If you bought from Microsoft, you can.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Help to install OEM Windows 8 at mSata

  I just bought a HP Envy 15. It came with 8 Windows pre-installed on a 1 TB hard drive.

  I also bought a card 256Go mSata and installed. It works, WIndows sees it and I was able to create a partition.

  I want to do is move Windows from the hard drive to the mSata. I tried to create a recovery CD, I tried to create a recovery on a 32 GB CF card drive. When I boot from one or the other, it is not possible to install the disk mSata. If I try to pull the hard drive, the recovery disc gives way entirely.

  Next step would seem to be wanting to install Windows 8 from an installation instead of a recovery disk DVD. Except that when I tried to download an appropriate ISO using the upgrade wizard, it refuses to accept my key because it is not a retail key, it's an OEM key.

  There must be _some_ medium to do that, because there are a lot of people do. There are dealers on Amazon sells this laptop with the operating system installed on an mSata map.

  Your best option would be to contact HP, ask USB recovery media and use it to reinstall Windows 8 on the new disk:

• I need to remove installed OEM Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and install XP. Help please!

  It is a new work computer, not my personal machine.  Our main piece of software, ACT! 2000, will not work on W7.  We bought the new law! 2010, but he does not play well with the rest of the desktop computers, server included.  I know that the best thing to do would be to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro, and then load Windows Virtual PC to run XP.  But because of $$$ and $$$ already spent on this new computer, upgrade to W7 Pro is not on the table right now.

  And am not extremely computer, but I get.  :)  I did a lot of reading on the erasure of Windows 7 & install XP, and I've seen a lot read on hardware/driver problems: ATA, AHCI and SATA configurations... now I'm just lost.

  Is there someone who can tell me, in terms of Joe 6-pack , how to proceed?

  Once, my new Dell Inspiron 560 came loaded with Windows 7 Home Edition, and I need to remove it completely and install Windows XP, I have the disc.

  Thanks a bunch!

  Unfortunately, Dell provides Windows XP drivers for this system, so any installation of Windows XP is not supprted by Dell andcan not work and even install

  To install winxp you need a retail version of Windows XP, you must then boot from winxp cd and perform a clean installation

• Can I transfer a license OEM Windows 7 computer laptop with a physical disability and is not repairable?

  I have a laptop that has Windows 7 OEM Home. The laptop had a hardware failure and is not repairable. Can I transfer the operating system of a new generation of computer laptop?

  Sorry, but a Windows 7 OEM is not transferable to another PC because it is related to the 1st computer on which it is installed.

  Your motherboard breaks down, unless the replacement card is the same your OEM version will no longer turn on and can not be moved or transferred to another computer.

  OEM of Windows 7 versions have the following limitations of 'important ':

  (1) OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  (2) OEM licenses are tied to the computer 1 you install and activate it on.

  (3) you cannot reuse/reinstall an OEM version on another computer or another/replacement motherboard.

  (4) the OEM versions cannot be used to upgrade an earlier version of Windows, you must perform a

• Can I do a clean install of Windows 8 (without the DELL OEM software)?

  Hi people,

  I just bought a DELL Inspiron 17R laptop computer which came with Windows 8. I want to install an aftermarket SSD and do a clean install of Windows 8 on the SSD without all the stuff extra DELL piles on the computer in their factory. However, the laptop does not come with any media of Windows 8. My other options (copy windows divide in the SSD or use Windows backup and restore), both result in installing Windows 8 with a lot of software DELL.

  DELL said that they do not have the installation of Windows 8 media and I need to contact Microsoft to get it. Any ideas on how I can go about this? I'm happy to pay a nominal fee for the discs, but having already an OEM of Windows 8 installation, I want to avoid going to the shops and buy a new license.

  Any ideas are much appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Chris

  Unfortunately, your only option is to create a disk backup and restore using recovery tools provided by Dell and use it to reinstall Windows 8. This is especially true because you run Windows 8, which are not available elsewhere.

  or

  SSD of cloning:

  You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

  See

  http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-HDD-to-SSD-with-Windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a copy of the trial of Acronis True Image Home.

  Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

• OEM Windows installed on a new system and being told that my key is invalid.

  Product key problem

  A year ago, I bought a version of XP SP3 OEM and installed on a computer (clean install).  No problems.  A few months later, I had to wipe the drive and reinstall.  Once again, no problem.  Now I got a new computer, but when I try to install with the same disk (clean install) and the same product key, I like that is not valid.  Some things that are not a factor:

  Damaged drive.  The disc is impeccable.

  Error in the Enter key.

  Key is not not the disc.

  I don't see how something other than the computer, the key and installation disc could play a role.  I hope that Microsoft does not know what I do in my room.  I even traded keyboards, that someone suggested that this could be a factor (speaking with an accent keyboard?).

  My next step is to wipe the drive and start over, but I think I'll meet the same problem, because players will be the same.

  Any ideas?

  After the activation of Windows XP on the older PC, having to reactivate Windows XP is not so rare that are several hardware changes within a short time, not to mention the motherboard.

  Change the motherboard is a reactivation guaranteed event.  Just change all the RAM, PSU, CPU and made it a videocard in a few weeks.  "Activate Windows" more on wikipedia lists the 8 areas checked.

  The OEM Windows disk from the manufacturer-, Dell, HP etc. get of course do this even in the BIOS.  Dell OEM Windows on a non Dell motherboard, which I thought would do, would lead to shop for an another Windows Installer.

  This is how Windows mysteriously know material changes without connection to Microsoft.com - the BIOS chip.

  Beware of sellers on ebay with a still sealed OEM disc, but with a touch of product USED or not.   OEM disc will work as it clearly says right on it:

  "Relocation... CD '. Don't use this software to reinstall the operating system on a computer (mfgr)... For distribution only with a new computer (mfgr). »

• A clean install of Windows 8 OEM - Media Download

  Hello world

  I'm a Rockstar of Dell Community and I was a writer of the Dell community wiki. My Windows reinstallation Guide wiki and related Guides can be found here:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/f/3524/t/19480753.aspx

  I'm trying to find a download link that allows users to clean install their version OEM of Windows 8.

  There are ways to install Windows 8 with a product key and generic product keys are available, but the installer of Windows 8 seems to accept, then only reject them by saying: unable to connect:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/4415.a-clean-install-of-Windows-8-not-working.aspx in addition, this Setup requires a previous working version of Windows and is clearly not suitable for a variety of reasons for any new installation on a blank hard drive (which may be necessary in the event of failure of the hard drive for example).

  It seems to be too difficult for users of Dell in Europe in order to obtain the media:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/f/4677/t/19476992.aspx

  We would like a download link and I have mentioned this to all my Dell contacts and posted on IdeaStorm about this:

  http://www.IdeaStorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?v=1359724583158&ID=087700000008luMAAQ

  http://www.IdeaStorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?v=1359724583158&ID=087700000008YVXAA2

  I lobbied for this on the end of Dell but have not had much luck until now so I need to push him on the end of Microsoft, but do not have a lot of contacts Microsoft.

  It seems no to little interest to write "A clean install of Windows 8" If no users can get media without having to purchase a new license, I wrote, but it is incomplete without a valid download installation source.

  Can anyone from Microsoft, Microsoft VIPs and community stars look at my wikies and ideas IdeaStorm and offer a viable solution, so I can complete my wiki and users can clean install their operating system without any preinstalled junk or have a way to reinstall their OS, if everything goes wrong.

  A direct link would be preferable because a hard disk can fail and needs replaced. Use of the Upgrade Advisor is acceptable, but such that it download the 32-bit installation on a 32-bit computer files and 64-bit on a 64-bit computer, it's not ideal because users will not have the possibility of that they want to take. by example if computer 1 is 32 and computer science 2 (computer problem) is 64 bit, then they will be run in troubles.

  With the product key in hacking the BIOS shouldn't be a problem if the media is free to download. However if a legitimate source is not available for users to clean install with piracy will increase considerably.

  In addition the inability of users to read the product key can also be a problem for the activation of product in some rare cases. I suggest that Microsoft allow / OEM do print the product key in the BIOS as safety net information:

  Edit warnings on Windows 8.1 adding updated:

  Scenario 1: most of the OEM recovery partitions generally do not work once the partitions systems have been modified in any way or an operating system is reinstalled. The user should rely on the internal recovery partition while they are completely baffled after trying to install Windows 8.1.

  Scenario 2: The user should recovery media before installing Windows 8.1 overview - you know as well as I do that some people will not create the recovery media.

  Scenario 3: Recovery programs do not always work. I saw, overall community Dell, many clients have difficulties, create recovery media. They are in trouble, if something goes wrong.

  Scenario 4: The user thinks that they have created a recovery media, but really what they have created is a corrupted DVD set (i.e. used low-quality DVD or USB). When they are in pain to go and use, they do not work.

  Scenario 5: The user made a recovery media and he lost. They are also in trouble.

  Scenario 6: The user suffers from an out of the box starting problem when the system arrives due to misconfiguration of factory settings, in particular with a cache drive I've seen many users have and could easily fix it on their own, but can't because they have no .iso Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows.

  Scenario 7: A major problem that corrupts any installation of Windows 8 or virus Windows 8.1 and infects USB recovery when the user tries to start from it. A third-party utility such as DBAN could be used to wipe the system in this case and new facility could be made using a .iso and a USB after.

  Scenario 8: Windows 8.1 is a Service Pack. Service Packs have been known to cause a range of issues especially when third-party software and drivers are installed in front of them. Hint, hint factory settings. Factory settings are preloaded with these problems. Its why my Windows reinstallation Guides always recommend to install Windows, then on the stand-alone Service Packs via updates unless they are included on the installation media. Note, that I recommend that you install the Service Packs before the system drivers. Users do not have these problems if they are properly followed up my guides.

  Several scenarios could be made by mixing these 8 above to the top.

  Edit 2: See the comments made by 2 MVP who responded to this topic which seems to indicate that they want to make things worse by removing the download links of Windows Vista and Windows 7:

  http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php/topic, 14452.0.html

  So it's very obvious from the actions of Microsoft that Microsoft aims is not to prevent piracy, but double dependent people when their system fails and requires a re-installation of external media (in which case they upgraded to a SSD, or their recovery partition is wiped out. The percentage of those who just end up buying a retail version of Windows when their disk failed hard is very important, something that adds dramatically to the benefits of Microsoft. These business practices of Microsoft are clearly unjust and illegal and something must investigate and pursue the U.S. Department of Justice.

  This part is quite obvious, given that their prevention of piracy is so poor that their policies can only intended strictly to reap illegal profits to force non-legal tech savvy users to pay twice for windows they already paid when they bought their system. It was not the case, they would freely allow users to download an OEM ISO of Windows 8, so that they can recover if their hard drive fails completely, as OEM ISO is useless for a pirate without a license (usually built-in to the motherboard) key and a pirate will have easy access to a copy of Windows 8 without worrying. Again, the only people hurt by these policies are legal users, not pirates.

  Now that piracy is concerned, I further suspect that given poor piracy prevention mechanisms of Microsoft that allow hackers to distribute auto activated copies of Windows 7, etc. that Microsoft would have rather let poor people use a pirated version of Windows to completely block and force them to use Linux that would increase the base of Linux users. So I surmise that they intentionally allow ways for hackers to hack their Windows software anyway, because the poor free moccasins will not pay for Windows do anything because they have simply not the money, yet nevertheless it is in the interest of Microsoft to prevent them moving to Linux because most of the poor is just young, and will later money for licenses of Microsoft. But here again the only systems in question here are systems more alumni who have XP or Vista, licenses while other systems that people are supposedly piracy have valid Windows 7 and 8 license keys that Microsoft wants a double payment for!

  The Windows 8.1 with update 1 .iso is now downloadable without entering a product key. It is downloadable for the OEM license and I've documented here in an updated guide focusing on licensed OEM with UEFI and SecureBoot:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

  This .iso works with product keys well Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. The main issue is to determine your edition. The edition correct will automatically enter your product key and brings you to the screen of the license agreement. Incorrect editing will ask for a product key. Also, there are two editions of 'free' missing; Windows 8.1 with Bing and Windows unilingual 8.1 with Bing.

  Ironically, Microsoft fixed the deployment of multimedia files of Windows 8 (not at 100% but greatly) and then severely broke the deployment of multimedia files Windows 7 a few months later.

• Windows Update fails repeatedly to install updates KB3079904 and six other people, keep trying for 3 weeks now

  Drop support for Windows Vista is apparently present but perhaps without notice.

  Three weeks since July 14, 2015 Windows Update has repeatedly tried and failed to install seven updates. Three other updates cannot be installed while in time (KB3072633, KB3057154, KB3065979) but was finally installing manually through Microsoft Download Center.  Further attempts by MDC didn't settle because "the update does not apply to your system" (KB3070102, KB3067903).  KB3072630 update did not show an available option of Windows Vista.  The remaining updates would download a version of Vista but just have not installed (KB3070102, KB3079904, KB309392, KB3067505 and KB3065822, which is a Cumulative of IE9 for Windows Vista update).

  With no fix that works my PC will apparently try to download these and other updates in perpetuity.  Some files, such as KB915597, is constantly to be installed and reinstalled successfully during this time.

  I tried to upgrade Vista on TOSHIBA to my mother, it runs cpu to slow to 46%, I'm sure I need of more memory, my concern is that I just tried to upgrade on my HP17 for the new completely WIN10 have not upgraded, but froze on a continuous flashing, cannot access via ctrl alt esc file insight and nothing moves percentages are 0 nothing downloaded? or downloaded?

  How to recover my product key of windows 8, I installed the windows 10 techniques view without taking backup I need to go back to my windows 8 pls someone help

  Hi Carmen,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  I understand that you had not taken any prior backup upgrade to Windows 10 Technical Preview and need product key to retrieve Windows 8.

  So, first of all, I suggest you to check the product key in email messages when you purchased the license to the product for Windows 8. Once you get the product key, you can create a Windows 8 ISO and reinstall using this product key. See the following article:

  To create installation media Windows 8.1

  However, if you had bought the system pre-installed with Windows 8. Then, you may need to contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) system for Windows 8 discs to restore the older operating system.

  Hope this information is useful. Let us know the results for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.
