  What a pleasure - this really makes the license issues a joy.
  If I understand you right, "fried" your old computer was XP Home Edition - and the replacement motherboard came from a machine with MCE?
  If so, then Yes, you must use the MCE license, rather than the home one. To be entirely legal, it must also have the sticker COST MCE glued to the box.
  MCE is XP Pro - which is a reason that you can not change just the product key-based. The other is that the update tool simply is not designed to work with MCE.
  What can you do?
  Unfortunately, there is no way around it, whatever you do will involve a clean install (to backup your data first led outdoors!) If you want to stick with MCE.
   
  (1) you can go to the manufacturer of the MCE machine and ask if they can provide the recovery disc for this machine - if you're lucky, they may still have some in stock. If they are not, try restoredisks.com
  (2) you can take your life in your hands and download a torrent of a set of installation MCE - it's going to be at least two CD there are a couple of "real" out there, who are free of malicious software, but most is contaminated in some way, so be very careful and do due diligence on any download you.
  (3) you can try to find a legitimate MCE pack on sale somewhere - I don't know what it should cost, or that also the prices on them are moving from MS stopped making years and they are like gold dust. (XP Pro prices are rising, but I suspect that MCE prices may be down).
  (4) you can purchase a legal license for XP Edition family - again, be very careful where you buy-it came to a point where there are more counterfeits than legal market. This would allow you to use the update tool to keep your current installation.
   
  Note that there is no such thing as a 'detail' MCE - MCE all licenses are OEM and as such, cannot upgrade a XP Home license, where my earlier warning about backing up your data.

• Windows XP Media Center 2005 cannot connect to the Internet

  Dear all,

  I'm having a problem with Windows XP Media Center 2005. The problem is that when I connect the cable from the modem to the laptop, I only send packets without receiving. The IP address I get is also 169.254.207.207, which is not a valid IP address to connect to the internet, and so I guess that something is blocking the laptop to get the IP address. Another thing I noticed is that when I turned off the modem and restart it, I have connectivity maybe 5 seconds and then return to no connectivity.

  You guys can tell me what is the problem, and if I have to download something but in addition to the internet so that I can get my laptop to work. That said, I can connect to wireless with no problems.

  Thanks for your help and your time

  Martyna

  Hello

  Sorry for the question but what modem did you mean?
  A simple analog modem or DSL (broadband) modem that supports support a LAN connection.
  If you mean the second then I would check the TCP/IP settings in the properties of LAN card. The settings should be set to automatic

  You should also check that you firewall settings.

• Problems with colors on the screen after installing the new motherboard Vista

  Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit wrong colors.  Monitor works fine.  If a monitor has checked and all colors were there.  Had installed a new motherboard.  Worked well for fivedays then the colors red and green disappeared again.

  * original title - want to get the correct colors on my display/ecran.*

  You don't say where the motherboard has come: the Mamufacturer of the computer, or that you buy yourself.

  Take the correct option:

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/motherboard > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

  See you soon.

• Install window xp media Center 2005 you entered the CD key is not valid

  Hello
  I have an Advent 8111 laptop and I am trying to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I have a copy of the Widows XP MCE 2005 to my IT Department at my workplace as they said that they could download and burn for me quickly!
  but after formatting the hard drive and the partion on my laptop I have to type my product key, which I got from the bottom of the laptop. The error window pops up saying "you entered the CD key is not valid" and I don't see any other option to have passed this stage. I contacted ADVENT but they were not able to help. What should I do next?

  Where did you downloaded it go?  Are they legal?

• After installing the new motherboard old HDD work and give the new product key?

  I have an OEM version of Windows 7 64 bit installed and fully updated and work.

  If I change the notherboard (and the CPU but nothing else) and plug in the old HARD drive it will work?  I noticed that it will not be installed from scratch, but others say that if she is already innstalled and active, it will work.  Others say that Microsoft will release a new product key but are denied by those who say that I have to buy a new version of Windows.

  Also the question of the drivers for the new Board of directors etc - it just install them from the M/B drive when I start first?

  Unfortunately, no.

  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

• Cannot re - install windows 7 after installing the new motherboard

  I have a desktop HP, circa 2010, running Windows 7. It it a machine of HP brand with a product windows key that is related to specific hardware when I bought it. The motherboard died last week and the original is not available any more, so I had to install a motherboard ASUS. The PC starts fine until windows recognizes that this is a different material. The system restore fails also in the same Manor.

  Finally, I will restore this original sate is that it works even fines, it is a quad core with 8 GB memory and always runs fast. I have a new SSD drive I want to swap in and upgrade to Windows 10 after I return to a good state.

  I tried to install windows 7 from scratch for the new SSD, but I can't because the product key is a marked HP one and Microsoft does not accept it.

  Is it possible for me to get Microsoft to give me a new key proeduct, after all that I feel that I own this copy of windows and I have the right to re - install windows

  Any suggestions other than buying a new copy of windows is appreciated.

  Thank your for the answers. It looks like another office of Linux for me. Interesting to note that when I did a clean install of Windows 7 original Activation of Windows code on the side of the case worked well.

• OEM Version of Win7 re-installing the new motherboard.

  I had already purchased a HP computer and want to update my motherboard, undesirable, provided with the original system OEM license will not allow update me my motherboard, because it requires a certified HP motherboard. If I create a disk image of my OS, wiped the entire disk from the recovery partition too and re-installed Windows, I'll always be able to install windows without the OEM license, as if a version normal/retail of windows?

  Or should I buy a commercial version and go from there?

  You can buy an OEM version is linked to the motherboard.

  I hope this helps.
