Install Win7 64 bit update on the new build machine

Initially, I bought a Dell machine with Win XP installed on it, that was obviously an OEM installation. Later, I bought an update to Win7 (boxed version containing two DVD - 1 x 32 bit and 1 x 64-bit).

I looked at the product key on the System Properties screen and it does not contain the letters OEM, then it means that when I upgraded the operating system he converted it from version OEM to a retail version?

The reason for my question is that I intend to use this system for donor parts and build a new one, but it will contain a different MB, CPU and RAM, which if I understand correctly this is what the OEM versions are related to. Building the new system, I will seek to install the 64-bit version rather than the 32-bit on the current computer.

And just to confirm, the old system definetely will be out of use and therefore discarded. I don't mean to reproduce the number of facilities, any transfer from one machine to the other.

Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi Noel, thanks for your response.

I have to admit your backup response I expected in the case, but...

Since my original post, I have been informed of "Universal PID Checker", I used to check my current installation (the one I'm looking for scrap) and he informed me that I have a retail version.

If I will have to just suck it and see?

With a question mark above it, I do not want to splash out on a new license if it is not needed.

You will need to invest in a new full version license, because the machine you build will not have an existing previous license eligible to use the upgrade version.

You can try the following and see if it works:

How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

Click Install now

Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Click on drive Options

Select the disc/s click on Delete

Click new

Click on apply

Click OK

Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

Click on properties

Scroll down to the Windows Activation

Click the link x days before activation.

Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

Enter the product key

Click next

Select the Activation of the phone

Click Next when you enter your key page

Select your country

Click Next, call the number listed

Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

Click next to complete the activation.

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Transfer OS to the new build machine

    Old computer - 5 years and more, initially provided with bad crash OEM Super HP operating system. 2 years + / there is, has bought a new drive for the operating system MS Windows 7 to the store of the local computer, replacing the hard drive and loaded the new operating system.  All good so far. Former regulator, mobo, etc. acting strange with memory problems.

    Built a whole new system. I can't load same OS drive that I bought 2 years on this new system? Old system will be recycled.

    If it is a license to retail - Yes, you can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time. The previous installation of Windows 7 must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turn on the second computer will automatically deactivate the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses are bound to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer.

  • Can I legally use a win7 32-bit code pro install win7 64-bit, if I have the 64-bit disc?

    Recently, I accidentally bought 32-bit win7 online for a new PC I am building. I wanted 64-bit. I have a 64-bit version of anoterh installation disk I did and was wondering if you could just use the 32-bit code to install win7 64-bit instead of having to go through the process of return together and everything. Thanks in advance for answers!

    The product key is not specific to architecture (32 or 64-bit), but the spirit of the OEM System Builder licensing is, both 32 and 64 bit DVD are sold separately and include their own product key.

    If its OEM license that came with a new computer, you could of course just to borrow a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit DVD retail or OEM system builder DVD and use it with your product key provided with the installation of 32-bit, and nothing would be wrong.

    There are two types of OEM suppliers. Royalty OEM vendors can distribute Windows products by using the preinstallation (SLP) product keys so that end users can bypass product activations. All other OEM vendors distribute Windows products by using the standard product keys that require the user to activate Windows products.

    Thank you

    Hello Launcher,

    Thank you for bringing your question about Restrictions here in Apple Support communities. My understanding of your question is that you change the Restrictions, but no change is noticed. I tried the same on my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 10 and noticed a similar situation. Please allow me the opportunity to explain how the Restrictions is designed to work. First, I put my limitations for applications, do not allow Apps and together 4 +, which basically means everything beyond 4 + will be blocked from buying. Then I went to the App Store and the first app that caught my attention was NCIS: hidden crimes. This app is rated 12 + and is definitely an application I would not want my toddler to help. It is that Restrictions come into play. When I type on NCIS: hidden Crimes, the Get option is grayed out. Restrictions does remove all apps, songs, books, etc. from view, but it will prevent the purchase, download, and install all applications rated above the setting you choose when you set up restrictions. It's the help article that discusses the Restrictions and prevent purchases: Use Restrictions in order to avoid buying on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

    I checked on the restrictions help articles, and I understand where it can be a bit confusing. In the help article Use Restrictions on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, it says "You can use Restrictions, also known as parental control, to block or limit specific applications and features on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch." This means in fact that apps, features or services (rated above that helped you, or if you have turned off completely) can he no longer appears on the device if the restriction is activated and starts blocking them. I also tested this by activating Restrictions and turned the cursor for Safari to off. When I went back to the home screen, Safari doesn't show any more and I could no longer use it.

    I hope this helps to clarify how the Restrictions. If my understanding of the issue was not accurate to the issue that you are experiencing, I will be happy to pursue this issue with you. Please indicate exactly what you took measures, and what expectations you had or the some restrictions, applications, features, or services you are restricted. Thanks again and have a great rest of your day!

  • Pavilion Sleekbook 14-b000: try to install win7 64 bit

    Hey all, uh I got a "hp Pavilion sleekbook 14-b013au" to fix/installation of the new operating system, on, with a formatted hard drive, none of the scores of original disc hp exist.

    They had the hard drive out, he reformatted into partitions of 2 x 250 GB and tried to install win7 64 bit on it, without success.

    They tried to hook up the hard drive on a pc, installed the operating system that way, then tried plugging it back into the Sleekbook and should work.

    They won't win 8.1 back on it.

    I have a copy of work of this OS to a flash drive (used the "Windows USB/DVD Download Tool" to create a bootable flash drive).

    I am unable to install this, as the laptop will not recognize the flash drive, after that Windows Setup starts. Help, please

    Hello:

    I have a few suggestions...

    1. you must ensure that the secure boot is disabled and legacy mode is enabled in the BIOS to be able to install and run windows 7.

    2 make sure the flash drive is plugged into a USB2 port.  It will not work on all USB3 ports.

    Hello Kevin Bouah,
    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that you were not able to update your iPhone to iOS 10 5s. I know how exciting it is when a new version of the iPhone software will be released. If you tried to update your iPhone via Wi - Fi under settings > general > Software Update and cannot update your iPhone, I recommend that you use iTunes on a computer. Make sure that your computer software and iTunes are updated to the latest versions. The following steps will help you to upgrade your software to the iPhone via iTunes on your computer:

    Update the software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch iOS

    Update your device via iTunes

    If you are unable to update wireless on your iOS device, you can manually update using iTunes on a computer on which you trust. If your computer uses Personal Hotspot on the iOS device that you update, connect your computer to another Wi - Fi or Ethernet network before update you.

    1. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
    2. Connect your device to your computer.
    3. Open iTunes, Select your device.
    4. Click summary, and then click Find updates.
    5. Click on download and update.
    6. If requested, enter your access code.
