New lost for older microsoft product key

• Can configure is no longer Windows Vista update to include the updates for other Microsoft products (Office, Visual Studio, etc.).

  I once had a problem with Windows Update, which gives me a family of .NET Framework through the window of Control Panel\Windows to update to Windows Vista, even if it has been installed and has Microsoft support help me through EasyAssist. The problem of .NET Framework has been fixed, but now I have a problem: the Control Panel\Windows update window informs me today I'll receive downloads for Windows only, not for all Microsoft products.
  When I click on "Change settings", the Microsoft Update option is no longer present.
  When I click on the link 'Get' updates for more products, I am now redirected to the former site of Windows Update V4 (who is not supposed to appear on Windows Vista) instead of Microsoft Update, and this site Web of Windows Update cannot detect the Vista updates.
  So I'm stuck now with only being able to get informed about the upgrades to Windows, but not other updates from Microsoft. And we don't mean Windows Vista x 64 final with the last Windows Update Agent 7.2.6001.788. This new update would be the culprit?

  Hi Unicodemaster787,

  Even if it is not automatic, you should be able to get your updates from the Microsoft Download center http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/en/default.aspx

  Other than that, your best bet would be to do a repair install and let the system to reinstall the original files and settings.

  When you perform a repair installation, it restores the current installation of Windows Vista to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows Vista.

  To perform a repair of Windows Vista installation, follow these steps:

  1. Restart the computer.
  2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

     Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, click Start, type : \setup.exe in the Search box, and then click configuration in the list programs. Then click on install now.

  3. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
  4. Insert the product key if you are prompted to do so.
  5. Click to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
  6. On the screen which type of installation you want , click upgrade.
  7. Once the installation is complete, restart the computer, and then try again to install updates.

  Remember, however, that it could undo previous changes to solve your problems of .net.

• Laptop with Microsoft product key

  I have a laptop that I put out of service with a genuine Microsoft product key for XP Home installed plant.  What should I do to be able to install XP Home on another computer?

  You have an OEM Windows license on this computer.

  Limits of the OEM computer

  According to Microsoft, that an OEM of Windows version is related to the first computer, it is installed on and you can not be installed on another computer. Even if the computer on what OEM of Windows has been installed is no longer used, you cannot transfer the OEM license on another computer.

  Difference between a Full and selling retail and OEM/System Builder License.
  Windows OEM licenses:
  (1) are related to the first computer installed on and are non-transferable (cannot be moved to another computer).
  (2) can't do a place in upgrading from older versions of Windows, only a cleaning/fresh installation is possible.
  (3) offer no free support from Microsoft.

• What happens if I install a new windows on a computer product key OEM windows laptop?

  I bought a laptop in 2009 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM on it (I still have the sticker of the portable product key).

  This year, I bought a larger capacity HARD drive and installed on my laptop.

  I thought it was the perfect time to upgrade to Windows 7, so I bought a DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate.

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my HDD new and used the new Windows 7 Ultimate DVD product key.

  My questions are,

  What will happen to the product key Windows Vista Home Basic OEM?

  If it is replaced with the new product key?

  Is the OEM product key became invalid?

  Now I use Windows Pro 10, as a free upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, so...

  What my new Windows 10 Pro registered product key?

  I know that since windows 8, the product key is installed on the BIOS (am I right?).

  then, how it actually works?

  Thank you very much for the reply.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  No matter if you did a clean Windows 7 or updated installation to upgrade to windows 7 from Vista, this OEM Vista product key is blocked on this computer and cannot be transferred to another machine.

  You can only use this key OEM of Vista to reinstall Vista on this particular machine and start over.

  Licensing rules (my words)

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Rec would be the free upgrade to 10 7 as Vista never qualified for the free upgrade to 10.

  The key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

  The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

  But there is no product key for your free upgrade to 10.

  Hardware configuration you laptop is stored on Microsoft servers and how your machine will be recognized if you always want to reinstall 10.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  You can't reinstall Vista on a recovery partition you have installed another operating system

  read this:

  Solve a common problem of recovery.
  If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.

  ________________________________________________________

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  you say, that they will not!
