Migration of the HP OEM system, dead motherboard - License Lock

I replace the desktop computers that are both the same model of a HP Desktop Tower. The motherboard on one of the computers has been cut. Can I swap hard drives and always operate the system very well, but when I move the hard drive to a new system Windows 7 refuses to launch (license lock). The product code for the system was for Windows 7 Home Premium and we bought and used codes upgrade of Windows 7 Edition Family Premium to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, but the license lock still prevails.

Can I (and what is the best route) to contact Microsoft to remove the lock of license?

(It is not economically feasible to track down a motherboard for a 5 year old computer and continue to run on older hardware. The license must not be used on old hardware, dead.

If not, is it possible to buy a license code Windows 7 retail and replace the code to get the job of the computer?

[Reason: I tried to migrate to a new version of the trial of Windows 10 and transfer, but the original system contains proprietary software required that we don't have access to the installation files.]

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

Have you tried to restart by phone?

Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    Yes, you can reinstall Windows 7 OEM System Builder License on the new hard drive with the new processor.

    It will not be a problem in this case, since you don't "move" installation, you are doing a new installation. The less it will take is activation of the phone, as you change the hard drive:

  • Pure install the OEM Version of Windows 7 re-Boot Loop after the message "preparing system for use of handguns."

    Thanks in advance for any help...

    I tried to install the OEM version of windows 7, but after "successful installation" restart the computer and it posts, I see the Windows logo, preparing for the first time use... Nothing that he stops, then reeboots.

    My characteristics are the following: I have a motherboard ASUS P5KPL-CM, processor E5200 Intel Duo Core, 4 GB RAM, 1.5 TB hard and a Radeon HD 4870 graphics card. I built myself this PC. It was Windows XP, but I formatted the hard drive to do a clean install, so now I we a Creek so to speak. Help please?

    I do not know what was causing the boot loop, but the solution was simple. I removed my second hard drive, my video card and 2 GB of ram. I've heard say that windows 7 like no more than 2 GB of ram to install. I reinstalled from the disk, and all is well. If anyone else has this problem, it's worth a try.
  • Upgrade in Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional by using the OEM System Builder Pack

    I built a computer and initially installed Windows 7 Home Premium using an OEM System Builder Pack. Now, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. I have a new OEM System Builder Pack for Windows 7 Professional. How can I do this without losing the files, data, documents, etc., and I can put this copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on another computer? It is a personal computer only. Thank you.

    Unfortunately, you will need to do an install custom, which means that your applications and drivers will need to be reinstalled.

    If you want to keep your personal files, you can use the custom installation of the configuration to do:

    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)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    When I got the error, I cancelled and restarted the machine. I pressed the 'option' button when starting upwards and he grew the boot partitions. You should see a 'EFI Boot' partition. Choose that and you restart the installation process, but this time it works.

    Supposedly the boot EFI and WinInstall partition should do the same thing. Manually, select one or the other.

  • Impossible to reactivate XP Pro OEM after replaced motherboard

    As the title says, I'm unable to reactivate a copy of XP Pro (OEM) after replacing a dead motherboard. I did have problems in the past when replacing hard drives.  I reinstalled the operating system three times in the last 24 hours, does not. OEM drives are SP2.  Download and install SP3 and IE8.

    I wonder not to enter the product key on installation/set upwards (although I seem to think that I was the first time and ignored). There is no option to validate through start programs etc because there is no such thing as the "Activate windows" option.  The validation simply said the key online tool is not valid and directs me to a page to buy Windows 7. I tried the phone... free license key number by selecting personal user... but after the long string of numbers, the 'voice' says that the key is not valid. [I'm not sure if it is relevant, but in the part of this page Web where it says change key if the instructions (or words to that effect)... the key already indicated in the boxes is not the same as the one I have.] Is it because it's what they would say to change it too or what MS thinks that my key is already?]. The options trying to activate via the warning in the system tray do not help either.

    I think at present to remove the hard drive, which is the one that came with the pc and already partitioned if not used (I replaced it with a larger immediately after you have configured the pc), delete partitions and reformat before you try to reinstall and activate again... but I was wondering if it is simpler and less time-consuming option.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Update (a few hours after the original post): I read a few topics where it is explained how to talk to an operator.  I'll try later today that before anything else.  However, all the other advice always welcome.

    Replacing the motherboard outside the warranty terms invalidates an OEM license.

    You will need to purchase a new license for Windows - and it will take a full commercial license.

  • Issue of Windows 7 SP1 OEM System Builder Pack

    I recently bought the Pack Windows 7 SP1 OEM System Builder and I don't know if I bought the right product. I had to replace my HARD drive (old one crashed) and I felt it was time to leave the world of XP. It will be installed on an existing computer that does not have to be sold. I don't want to open the software until I'm 100% sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    There's nothing wrong with using it, just that there are certain restrictions that apply. In view of this manufacturer of OEM licenses system will soon become only detail existing once stock option full version licenses have been exhausted, I'd say don't worry about this.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
