Long-term availability of Windows 7 OEM

I am a reseller of PC in Australia.

Is there a set date when versions of OEM Windows 7 will stop availability for new computers in Australia?

Please don't guess ill-informed.

Want an official response from Microsoft

Thank you

It's Microsoft's current orders on the subject

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/lifecycle#section_2

As you can see the end of sales for the home version was set in October this year, it is only Pro it is undefined. As the caption States there will be 1 years this end being invoked date you have at least a year, in order to go.

There is no reference to regional variations, so we have to assume it is in the world.

However as the OEM Pro for Windows 8 license includes downgrade rights, you can in principle to apply a license 8 and get off at 7 Pro for the life of the most recent operating system.

  • Is there an upgrade online available for Windows 2000 to Windows XP?

    Windows 2000 Professional upgrade

    My plan is to buy a new computer very soon, I am looking for a short term solution to my problem.  I'm on Windows 2000 Professional and I use Turbo tax to do my income taxes.  However, I cannot load program Turbo tax this year because it supports more Windows 2000.  My question: is there an upgrade online from Windows 2000 to XP still available?  Or, is there another upgrade online (directly to Vista or Windows 7) that I could use to get my taxes done.  The long-term solution will come in a few weeks when I buy my new thing.  Thank you

    A quick glance on the Toshiba Web site seems to indicate that there is no Windows 7 drivers for your laptop, but you can download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to double check.  If your laptop can support Windows 7, you can buy and install a version of it.  If you are about to buy a new computer, however, I wouldn't consider this course of action to be economically reasonable.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows XP or Vista.  Although you may be able to find CD's for these versions of Windows, they are likely to be expensive (Amazon), summary (eBay), or both.

    Either wait to do your taxes until you get your new computer or have them online, as Carey suggested.

  • Windows 7 OEM license, cloned the new hard drive.

    I'm scratching my head on this one.

    I'm running Windows 7 Pro with an OEM license.

    Beyond December, my original hard drive started failing so I made a clone of Clonezilla and transferred to a new hard drive.  Since then, I have not been able to run Windows update and I regularly get a Windows is not real popup.  I checked the section properties and my computer Windows Activation of Windows is enabled.  I tried the site of verification but that sends me to a web page that does not seem to load correctly and 9/10 times.  When I managed to load and I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate tool, it gives me just a Setup 0xC8000247 error.  I tried returning my SLUI 3 product key and everything went through fine.  I checked various websites and people say that it must be good using a new hard drive, others say you can't and others are calling saying Microsoft and speak to someone.

    Can I use my OEM license when transferring to a new hard drive?  Answer, what would be the next step?

    Yes, you can use the same OEM license, because it's the same computer.

    What you need to do is probably performing a new installation. Clone software tends not to provide the best results.

    The old hard drive still works? You might try one last time to create a system image and restore it on the new hard drive:

    How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - books...

    This of course would mean reinstall the old hard drive, create a system image and then restore it on the hard drive.

    Another option is to perform a new installation using the OEM key.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

    How to: perform a customized Windows installation

  • How stable is the long term outputs analog USB-6008?

    The USB-6008 datasheet do not specify the stability long term of the analog inputs and outputs.

    I'm looking for stability compared to the ambient temperature and time (several months to a year), mainly for the outputs or the D/A reference voltage.

    Is there any information available?

    Thank you.

    The precision specification takes into account the evolution both because of the temperature and duration (stable).  Thus, for the period of a year that we guarantee these specifications, which list you is correct.  However, apart from the period of one year since the calibration, this specification may be is more inaccurate.

  • When you try to perform a factory restore I get this error: "could not find"JScript.Encode"script engine: C:\Windows\Help\OEM\scripts\launche.jse.

    I followed this as mentioned in the help, but I got this message

    I use windows Vista

    So what can I do to restore my system?
    waiting for your support with kindness

    Hello

    There are two ways to do this.

    Most computers these days don't come with recovery discs.

    Instead, computer image makers a recovery Partition on the hard drive in order to reinstall the operating system to.

    That the recovery process says return to factory (new State) settings

    To access the recovery partition, you should be able to find it in the start menu > programs > list of software from the manufacturer of your > search for recovery options.

    A simpler method to start the press a key or sequence of keys at startup (when you start your computer)

    So maybe F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc. depending on your manufacturer.

    You must ask them or online on their website or the Support Forums to know the exact key / s press.

    Another method is to ask them to send you a set of recovery discs, which will do the same.

    They will charge a small cost for this service.

    Back up the data that it will be lost during the recovery process, and all programs that you have installed will need to be reinstalled from the original media (CD, DVD, download Net).

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.

  • Windows 7 OEM never active key but can't find discs, I can sell it?

    I have a spare Windows 7 OEM key, I bought several years for construction of the computer, but ended up never activate. I kept it in a journal of all keys that, over time, I bought, but I don't have the disks. MS has retained this page to download Windows 7 when you plug the key, I have confirmed here that the key is always good. I have an old SSD to sell with it, too. So it is possible to sell safe key with the SSD because it has never been activated?

    Yes, you can, as long as this is not enabled.

    Hello

    I did a clean on my SSD installation as a bunch of files in Windows 10 has been corrupted, and I couldn't do a clean reset, so I formatted my SSD. I have Windows 7 OEM, and knowing that it can be reused as long as the configuration of the computer has the same motherboard, I re-installed. However, the activation of Windows that I don't have a valid key, despite the same motherboard, etc. None of my hardware has been replaced. I tried to do the activation of the voice, but even that said my key was invalid.

  • Microsoft have all Windows 7 OEM ISO downloads and buy an a microsoft certified provider ok OEM key?

    Microsoft have all Windows 7 OEM ISO downloads and buy an OEM key provider Microsoft Certified OK?

    What I hear for question 1 is it a new Digital River (Microsoft ISO download service) since you can now no longer download the Iso of Windows 7 from Microsoft unless you have a retail key.  Question 2 is explicit thanks.

    No, there is no key only option sanctioned by Microsoft, so be prepared to find the rejected key if you try to download the ISO. The PID is actually built into the authorization key, all other sent by e-mail is meaningless

    Microsoft are selling more than Windows 7, all real dealers withdrew the product.

    You can use the copy of Windows 7 to restore factory settings. To start the process, you press the F9 key at the beginning of the boot immediately after switching on the computer.

    Before restoring factory settings, please check that you know the 25 character product key located on the COA sticker on the computer case. Don't post details key product here or in any other public forum. Please see the image below for an illustration showing a typical COA sticker.

    Your operating system is corrupted. To eliminate the problems on your computer, you need to restore factory settings and rebuild your computer system.

    A recovery of the system partition contains a copy of the operating system as it was when the computer was purchased new. Using the copy of Windows 7, you can restore the computer to factory settings. Of course you must back up your data files to an external before restoring support as the process reformats the disk thus clearing all existing files before writing new files.

    When you have restored to factory settings you must configure an internet connection, install anti-virus software, update all drivers from the Asus site and install Windows all updates. Run Disk Cleanup and defragmentation of the intervals.

    You should then be able to reinstall the programs. With this in mind, make a list programs must be installed and make sure you have the means to do so. Make sure you have the information necessary to recreate your internet connection on the new system. Make a list of what you need to do and the order in which you intend to do each task. This will help you greatly when you perform the operation. If you have a second computer available when you rebuild your computer system, it helps if you reach a problem and need to check online.

  • Long-term headless app work: QTcpSocket receive do not

    We have an app without long-term head that uses sockets for IPC.

    Headless part contains a QTcpServer, the user interface of the QTcpSocket.

    the code without a head:

    server = new QTcpServer(this);
    bool ok = connect(server, SIGNAL(newConnection()), this, SLOT(onNewConnection()));server->listen(QHostAddress::LocalHost, m_port);
    

    user interface code:

    bool stateOk = connect(clientSocket, SIGNAL(stateChanged(QAbstractSocket::SocketState)), this, SLOT(onStateChanged(QAbstractSocket::SocketState)));
    if (!clientSocket->isOpen()) {
        clientSocket->connectToHost(QHostAddress::LocalHost, m_port);
        bool conOk = connect(clientSocket, SIGNAL(connected()), this, SLOT(connected()));
        bool disconOk = connect(clientSocket, SIGNAL(disconnected()), this, SLOT(disconnected()));
        bool readReadOk = connect(clientSocket, SIGNAL(readyRead()), this, SLOT(commandReceived()));
        bool errorOk = connect(clientSocket, SIGNAL(error(QAbstractSocket::SocketError)), this, SLOT(error(QAbstractSocket::SocketError)));
        Q_ASSERT(errorOk);
        qDebug() << "connected to server socket";
    }
    

    output debug shows headless headless app is running constantly, the signal is properly connected, the socket for the server returns isListening() to true.

    debug output of the user interface shows that all signals are correctly connected, and onStateChanged goes from HostLookupState to ConnectingState and finally to ConnectedState

    At this point, I'd wait the server socket to pull the signal of newConnection, but alas, it isn't.

    I generate and run the xandos example and it works correctly, but it does not long-term use and has the server in the user interface, while the part without head connects.

    I suspect that the app without head doesn't have an event loopand QTcpServer documentation states:

    Although QTcpServer is mostly designed for use with an event loop,it's possible to use it without one.In that case, you must use waitForNewConnection(),which blocks until either a connection is available or a timeout expires.
    

    Now I wonder:

    The long March without head app has an event loop?

    If this is not the case, how best to use the blocking call without disabling the rest of its features? A thread?

    Write that post little got me on the right track already, a problem merging caused the socket to the server must be started before you call the constructor of the Application (which provides the event loop).

    Now the server is running, receive a few orders, then she stops unexpectedly, the fires of the user interface
    QAbstractSocket::RemoteHostClosedError changes the State of ClosingState and UnconnectedState

  • Script of long-term slow down my computer.

    OT: Long-running Script.

    I have a Windows 7 laptop. I get the message that I have a script of long-term slow down my computer. What exactly is that and how it stop?

    Could you give a little more detail please, if possible. For example when these pop-up messages? you're in a browser (Internet explorer?) when they occur, or do they appear just when you have nothing open on your desktop?

    IF they pop up when you use Internet Explorer, have a read of this to see if it gives indications - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/308260 (unfortunately, it's pretty long).

    Alternatively, you can try to disable the IE script debugger, but maybe it's more to hide the fault rather than fix, assuming it is useful at all.

    Open IE, tools, Internet Options, [Advanced] tab, click on "Disable Script debugging (IE) press OK, close IE and re - open it to see if its helped." There are also "Disable script debugging (other) to try to see if that helps." If they do not help, reset them.

    If this doesn't help not or if you need further assistance, please post back and someone will try to help.
