  The OEM version can only legally be sold with hardware, even if these
  days, any piece of equipment, even a power cord, is eligible. Although if
  you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the same software,
  It has the following disadvantages compared to the sales at retail
  Version:

  1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version, is that its license links
  There permanently for the first computer, on which it is installed. It can never
  legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
  the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
  license dies with him.

  2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

  3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
  with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
  OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
  You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.

• Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail?

  I went to the store to buy a copy of Windows 7. When I got home, I realized it was the OEM 64-bit edition. I already opened and installed. I just noticed that I should use the copy that I am not a seller of computer retail. Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail? I'll be money for theOEM. I guess I should have ask a seller in the store, but they were all occupied. I installed it for someone else while they are mad at me. Can I do a system restore to solve the problem?

  Original title: oem vs retail

  There is nothing wrong with using an OEM copy, its identical to a retail license, just that he has a certain license terms. Considering that the retail licenses are rare and expensive right now, I'd work with OEM license. Microsoft ended sales at retail of Windows 7 in October 2013, while they carry a premium right now.

  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

• Are there differences between Windows 7 OEM and the commercial full version?

  Are there differences between Windows 7 OEM and the commercial full version?

  Commercial versions include two disks installing 32 and 64 bits and can be moved to new systems.

  OEM versions are either 32 or 64-bit - only installation disc is included - and cannot be moved to a new system.

• How to convert retail, oem, and licenses renewed for a Volume License?

  I have about 30 Windows 7 PCs that have a variety of licenses of Windows 7, some purchased through licenses, some hollow purchased an OEM and some just buy the retail. They are all Windows 7 Professional.

  I want to keep all their licenses on a KMS server. Without having to buy a new licese of volume for all 30 PC, is it possible to "recover" my variety of licenses and get a volume license?

  Thank you.

  To take advantage of volume license, you must purchase a volume license agreement that gives you the right to install Windwos 7 Professional or Enterprise according to the terms agreed between you and Microsoft. You can not simply convert the existing volume license licenses because you have the eligible license. Volume License Windows is an upgrade and requires that the machine is an appropriate license before you can use it. There are more than just the software volume license since you go to an agreement.

  The link provided SpiritX will be very useful in exploring the options available under volume license. On the right track, but with the qualification SKU installed on each machine.

  There is no difference in the product itself.

• My computer is running a legal Windows XP Pro OEM and I want to upgrade a new Windows XP Pro complete legal system is it possible? I want to upgrade to 7 later...

  I hope that I can install it without having to rub my C: drive simply because it's big... I bought a complete system additional XP Pro just before they were all gone and installation he can save me a few dollars more having to buy a complete victory. 7 pro

  Repair the installation to change the product key to a release from the retail media.

  However, you know that your Windows XP OEM license was just as scalable (on this unique system) as a license Windows XP retail... right?  Even upgrade path / price.

  I assumed that the only way that helps you is now you can transer the license of the retail Windows XP to another computer later...  But nothing says you need to upgrade your current license of Windows XP OEM to retail level and then to Windows 7.

  (BTW - upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows XP is a clean install.  You will install all applications again, restoring your data, etc.).

• Difference between Vista OEM and retail

  Hello

  I want to buy windows vista Home premium for my pc at home. But I'm quite confused, because there are different versions of windows vista. is someone can you please tell me what is the difference between vista home premium OEMAct and SP2.

  can I use the original product key to windows vista Home premium OEMAct, which is printed below my laptop, for a new installation of windows vista Home premium sp2. Please I need answer ASAP. Thank you very much

  You can use the product key on the bottom of your laptop computer to reinstall Vista on this laptop only.

  The content of the operating systems are the same, whether OEM or retail license.

  Read this about the license:

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  SP stands for Service Pack, which is to improve the Performance and safety of all support Vista.

  There was 2 Packs of published Service, up to this date, for Vista.

  See you soon.

• First time with a card mother OEM and try to find the drivers

  Hello world

  This is a new game for me, the world of OEM motherboards. I just realized that a certain type of motherboard a motherboard manufacturer can have all sorts of variations when performed as an OEM Board for the likes of HP.

  I have just acquired an old Pentium 4 motherboard. Now, before your eyes start to roll, I am is not a cheapskate here and in fact need this type of motherboard, not a sign of bang dual core or quad wiz who actually do not work with my software. It is so why I am persevering with a print like this.

  It's an Asus P4SD - Rev 1.06

  3 pci slots

  1 agp slot

  4 usb ports

  1 firewire port

  1 ethernet port

  1 PS/2 mouse port

  1 PS/2 keyboard port

  4 memory DIMM slots (some computers HP with this Council have only 2 DIMM slots)

  Built No. taken in vga (seems some versions of this Council have built in graphics)

  So not knowing what HP computer that came out I cannot locate the correct drivers. As far as Asus goes, this card is not listed on there pilot site.

  Y at - there no way to know what HP PC came this motherboard?

  See you soon,.

  Keith.

  On the issue of SATA - if the installation disc that serves as an integrated SATA drivers then then this might explain it.  WinXP on its own did not include them, but some have them slipstreamed into the installation. Either that or the BIOS was set to emulate the IDE interface for easy installation.

• Cannot complete the reinstallation of Vista on Compaq laptop using the Compaq recovery disks. Tried to restore disk oem and new close to identical road. Errors: 0xc00000e9 and 0xc0000189 respectively

  With no unusual occurrence that accompanies it, our laptop was able to start and would not initialize anything beyond a screen B & W style BACK and gave the first error (0xc0000e9) on this screen. After several unsuccessful reboots insert us the Compaq recovery disks and crossed the recovery (only full optional with such discs.) At the end of the transfer of recovery (from DVD on computer), the computer tried to restart and reported the same error message. We have seen anything past the transfer of files and B & W on the oem disk. I think the oem HD is bad. Web-surfing suggested the error was associated with a hardware failure and the DVD drive seems to work very well I bought a new HD almost identical to replace the oem version with. Both are Seagate Momentus 160 GB at 5400 RPM drives.

  I re-inserted the recovery with the new installed hard drive disks and it loaded and seemed basically completely install Windows (computer is restored running several times and showed the Windows desktop with sequential programs etc. facilities.)

  To restart the final success, I received an error message in the sense of "windows could not install: Please restart the installation process" and the 0xc000189 error code. I tried again and the result was identical, including the error message. In the process the emblazoned shortcut labeled sunflower administrator with "locked" below briefly appears before the above error appears above him. Navigation on the Web seems to suggest I've hit some kind of security problem that appears when an oem auto-installer is used. He was never a password of any kind on the laptop of our family, if there is one, it should be of Compaq.

  It's an authentic (not stolen etc) oem new install of Windows (the laptop is only 18 months old) and I CD code on the computer but not the case in the installation me I asked for it. I don't know what you looking for installation.

  I'm very confused and any help would be appreciated. Compaq is saying it's a matter of Windows of course.

  Thank you

• I bought a used laptop with a version of Win7 OEM and license will not authenticate.

  Hi, I believe that the seller must have used a version of Win7 OEM upgrade but wiped the original OS from the laptop.  I've been going round in circles with the supplier for weeks now nothing does.  They want to send back me the phone so that they can "Watch".

  It is the diagnostic report.

• Laptop computer sticker passed out faded license, license installed is OEM and cannot be activated

  Hello

  As the subject says, I have some difficulties to activate Windows 7 on a laptop.

  The license sticker is missing and is completely unreadable. I tried to recover the key to the system that has been installed, only to find out later that it is an OEM key that is not valid for activation.

  For some reason, the recovery CD are for Windows XP, while the laptop was installed with Windows 7 and the license of the sticker is for 7.

  The laptop is an old Lenovo (x 200) and long out of warranty.

  What can I do?

  Option 1:

  If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

  Option 2:

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

  Option 3:

  If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
