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.


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?

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

    My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

    and read this:

    Installation of XP instead of Vista:

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  • Install a valid OEM Code, but using a retail disk

    Can I reinstall XP using the OEM Code on the bottom of my laptop, but with a disc at retail?  It should also be noted that the laptop came with SP3 while the retail disc is SP2.

    No, it will not work. What you need to do, is to install Windows XP and enter the product key that comes with the CD.  However, do not activate it.  Once the installation is complete, immediately use the Windows product key update tool to enter the OEM product key. Carey Frisch

    We have several computers at work that use 32-bit versions of Windows 7 Professional. We must move to 64-bit in order to use more memory. If I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit disc can I install the 64 bit version and reuse install the license key for the 32 bit version. I was told Yes as long it's the oem disc.

(In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.
