License OEM Windows 7 Professional 32-bit come with downgrade rights to XP Professional?

If I buy a copy of (System Integrator) OEM Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit, does include downgrade rights to Windows XP Pro?

I build essentially the individual PCs for personal use and small businesses; However, I have a client who seeks PCs 35 at point of sale that will have access to a central server.  Although I recommended the use of XP mode in Windows 7, my customer has been informed by its supplier of software that XP Pro is the best option for the current version of the software.

Although I could purchase copies of XP Pro OEM, my concern is that - during the life cycle of these PCs - my client will have to migrate to Windows 7, as new versions of its software point of sale are available.  If possible, I would like the opportunity to buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, installation of XP Pro with downgrade rights and later have the ability to change to Windows 7 without having to purchase new licenses.  Is it an option if I buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses?

Also, I need 35 licenses for a single customer, volume licenses would be more cost-effective?  My current Windows 7 Pro OEM or Windows XP Pro OEM price is about $ 150 per license.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Yes, a version of Windows 7 Professional OEM rights to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.  Volume license is not a scheme of licensing "for resale.

  • Aspire S5 purchase license OEM Windows 8

    Hello

    I just bought an Aspire S5 who installed Windows 7.

    Is it possible to purchase a license for the version OEM Acer (Aspire S5) of Windows 8, which is preinstalled on the S5?

    I want to have all applicable drivers and all the Acer programs installed at the same time when I do a new installation/recovery.

    I don't want to get first a regular update of Windows 8 I'll always install Windows 7 and then make an additional upgrade.

    Thank you.

    Acer is unable to sell a license for Windows.

    Unfortunately, the only way to get the OEM of Windows 8 charge would be to buy a preinstalled system with Windows 8.

  • How to make DVD for Windows 7 which should have come with my new laptop please

    This is my first post here so please bear with me. I just bought a new laptop Lenovo Essentials B570 that comes with Windows 7 pre-installed. Previously, I used to buy Dell laptops which tend to come with the OS reinstallation DVD that check to see if they are installed on the hardware, it was bought for, but would allow us to install the OS on a new drive hard if the original one crashed. Now, Lenovo seems very complicated to allow the buyer to re - use install operating system - they should keep the same drive hard - but what happens is the disk hard breaks down and you want to install the operating system and all the drivers? The Dell DVD allows me to do exactly the same thing. Can I create a similar drive to install the OS on a new HDD as and when I want / need it please? I created two sets of DVD using the OKR - one software together using the 'system currently on the disc' and another series for 'reset to factory settings' - but what I have read on these forums these OKR discs would not work if I put a completely new hard drive. So, at least, if I can get hold of the correct version of the Windows DVD - as I paid for the license, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

    as you notice, we have already discussed this issue and the answer is if you want to keep functional okr, don't new volumes.

    beside that, you can use 3rd software to create a new volume windows cause can only create 4 volumes (which you already have 4 volumes - mbr, c, d, hidden-)

    It is your responsibility if you prefer re - partition the drive.
    (Yes, okr will be useless)

    If your drive dies hard, and if you have warranty still valid, no worries. replacement will be free.

    I have not personally tested for use okr with new empty hard disk drives, but I know it won't work. one is to clone hard drives.

    However, if you still want windows dvd, you can download and burn legally. (you may need to call microsoft to activate the windows)
