• Can I put a non-genuine copy of windows to a genuine copy of Windows 8 Pro?

  Now before anyone starts to judge I want to give some context as to what happened.

  I bought the upgrade Windows 8 Pro pack which was a student offered to host my new hybrid hard drive. I installed on my previous Vista hard drive and I noticed that I was required to install the pack to upgrade the disk with a previous version of Windows. Therefore, I decided install Windows 8 Pro Vista hard disk and clone new hard disk.
  The cloning went perfectly. However, when I entered the hard drive containing the Windows 8 Pro clone, it did not allow my turn and in Device Manager it does appear that the system. There is also a Build number located at the bottom right of my desktop screen. Think I should reinstall windows from scratch, I proceed to the real system command (the one containing Vista previously which is now upgraded to Windows 8 Pro) and decided to reinstall windows in the control panel and wipe all readers.
  I quickly realized that this is a mistake, because when I boot into the previously-Vista drive, reinstalling Windows 8 became a trial version instead (with XXXX to build lower-right again). In regards to the cloned drive, the error starting screen (that require you to reinstall windows because of lack of boot configurations).
  I lost the disc Vista it long time ago and I don't have the box of windows with me more. I copy down the so-called activation key but it's one with xxxxx-OEM-xxxx. Before this script together, under my computer properties, the product key seems to be forever in a State of "2 days before automatic activation" and when I click on it, he said: I'm unable to activate this product key.
  So that being said, I was wondering if I could just download and run a picture of a non-genuine copy of Windows in order to start a new installation (ie. choose with windows installation disk and reformat the drive containing the windows build demo).
  Thank you.

  I just decided to hell with it and contacted Microsoft technical support for assistance.

  Managed to activate my windows and things work fine now.
  Thanks for the comments without worrying about all of you who responded and sorry for taking your time.

• back to vista from a non-genuine copy of windows 7

  I let someone borrow my desktop computer for a month and they have installed a non-genuine copy of 7 on it and I want to know if there is an easy way to get back to my real vista without the disc. I never had the drive with my computer, it came pre-installed with windows vista on it. I want to just return.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Buy this CD XP Pro will give me a product key that I can use to authenticate a non-genuine copy of Windows XP?

  My father-in-law has an old PC running Windows XP Pro SP2.  The PC itself is not among the major manufacturers and has had so many bits of kit has changed over the years (HD, motherboard, CD/DVD) that what it says on the tour is more accurate!  Some freelance computer programmer he updated this from Windows 98, and it ran fine until that MS has started running this configuration of authentication, when he discovered that he had a copy of dud (new for him, as he had been charged for a good!)  Obviously, he'd make his valid on the MS site copy, but that's all an expensive route - his PC is less value that they would him deducted, and it is shared as to whether it's bin and buy a new computer... but since he does whatever he wants, and it would be embarrassing to share, he would prefer just to fix this.

  I came across this on Ebay, which seems to offer a play version of XP Pro, for a price considerably lower than MS would charge him.

  http://CGI.eBay.co.UK/window-XP-Professional-win-Pro-SP3-full-OEM-Version_W0QQitemZ330389402931QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_Software_Software_SR?hash=item4cecbe3533

  Is it possible to make its valid copy of XP thanks to this road without HAVING to re - install using the new disc?  I ask because, despite read a lot of entries here, I still don't know fully the implications of retail vs OEM drives, and indeed, I've seen a few rows erupted between experts on the Board about how it's important.  And if it works in principle, it is important that the drive for sale contains the SP3 and it is still on SP2 (because he can't use WIndows Update because it has not got a genuine copy!)?

  Hoping you can help.

  By changing the product key in your OEM version licensing all the means that you have installed on this PC.

• I started Windows 7 Windows 10 and told me that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine.

  * Original title: Windows 10-7

  I ran Windows 7 for 2 years without any problem. I have upgraded to Windows 10 but he could not recognize my CD/DVD burner, so I started Windows 7. Now, after about 6 weeks, I am told that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine. Does anyone else have this problem?

  Thanks to everyone who responded with helpful advice. I finally solved myself by going back to the shop that originally installed Win7 on my computer. They have removed the "non-genuine" copy that I had run without problem for 2 years and installed a copy of 'authentic '.

  Thanks again.

• After I downloaded beta Security Essentials, my computer say suddenly that he was not a genuine copy of Windows running and locked up.

  original title: the customer service is horrible

  After I downloaded beta Security Essentials, my computer say suddenly that he was not a genuine copy of Windows running and locked up.

  I called last night and got a foreign person has attempted to resolve the issues and could not, so he told me that I had to call back after 06:00 to speak to someone in the United States.
  So I called back today at 06:00 and got one of those who are running around things voice control that didn't fix my problem at all. After much effort, I got a live person. Again, it was a foreign person (why make me wait all night and get up early to call?!?!)
  This woman told me to restart. I told her that I had rebooted about 10 times since the day before and each time he took forever to load back up the box that tells me that I need to activate windows. She has reiterated, "I ask you to restart." I knew he wouldn't do ANYTHING, but I did and after the session it forever (as I told him it would be) she told me that I had to remind once I got up the box again. I called after that I got the box AND HAD TO START OVER again ONCE with someone new. Of course, she was trying to pass me to someone else.
  Of course, after all this trouble, no MS sells a product key for Vista, it is abandoned. So I need to go buy Windows 7 and she told me that I'll LOSE EVERYTHING when I install it - all my documents and family photos are gone forever. Why not take my money and sell me a product key instead of let me in trouble?
  The worst ever undertaken. Of course, MS doesn't care because they have a monopoly.

  You should not need to buy anything except the recovery disc for your machine (if the built-in recovery partition does not work), unless you really need Win 7 for some reason any.

  That being said - the COA sticker on your machine is readable? If Yes, then you should have no problem with a Windows 7 upgrade version - but you will need to either use activation by phone, or installation methods described here...

  I wonder if there are other legitimate places online
  where can I buy a genuine copy of windows 7
  carefree scammed or receive a phone call from the FBI for using counterfeit software

  What of it?

  You can visit CDW.com, Tiger Direct and new eggs.

  You should give up on the retail packaging, because they will carry a premium.

  OEM packages are recommended.

  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.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  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

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.
