  My mother uses windows xp and apparently downloaded a fake windows update. She has a box that appears many times several times and she can't get him to stop. There is no info about it but my sister brother-in-law says she has searched a bit and found out that it is a Trojan horse that has made a change to the registry.

• How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  How can I reinstall Windows XP?  I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records.  I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM.  It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building?

  I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.

  Hello

  OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

  An OEM license is not transferable.

  And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

  There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

  You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.

  See you soon.

• Going to replace my hard drive, I'm unable to use my OEM of Windows Vista 32 - bit with the new drive copy?

  I plan to replace my current hard drive (which is functional, but not surprising in the first place) with a Solid State drive, which will help to my Alienware Area-51 m9750 notebook.  I find a reader fully compatible solid state, but I'm not there purchase Alienware.  I'm currently under Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), and I still have the recovery DVD used to reinstall the operating system.  I reformatted my hard drive several times using this disc, each time that the deletion of the whole score and starting from scratch.  Every time I did it, I'm never asked to activate my copy of windows, mysteriously turned on when I boot on my new install of Windows for the first time, without even plugging the cable Ethernet first, and my house has no wireless network.

  I wonder, if/when I install a new hard drive, will have a different experience somehow in regards to Windows activation?  I'm unable to use my OEM of Windows copy at all?  Alternatively, my windows mysteriously will activate itself without ever seeing the internet as it does now?

  I love installing Windows and then do not need to activate it, and I hope I have that experience when I install my new hard drive.

  I just want to know what to expect in terms of my ability to use my copy of Vista OEM, and what process I have to go through to make it fully functional.

  Thank you very much!

  The physical hard disk (solid state or record) is not serious for the operating system that is installed on.  As long as the drive is a standard interface and does not require special drivers not work (and most don't), you should have no problem.
   
  The recovery disks you are using are set to read specific information about the motherboard and as long as there is this particular information, that it is looking she will be triggered and doesn't have to go online to activate as the retail of Windows is required to do.  The only problem with this type of activation, it's that if the motherboard fails ever it should be replaced with a similar brand and model or autonomous activation fails and the operating system is an OEM version that is related to this motherboard and cannot be enabled on a newer replacement.

• Is there a possibility of upgrade version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 for free?

  I learned from a few sources online that I can get a 'upgrade' for the version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 free. Is this true? Should I participate in forums feedback for Windows, etc. in order to acquire such a valuable product?

  If not, is there another 'economic' way to get a copy of windows 7?

  Really appreciate your time in answering my question.

  Despite what you may have "competent" wrong, there is no "free" upgrade to Windows 7.  You can buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store. Carey Frisch

• Windows 8.1 clean install with key OEM of Windows 8

  Hello! I have a HP Probook 450 with Windows preinstalled 8. I want to Win 8.1, but I want to do a clean install. Which means: insert the Win DVD 8.1 (I downloaded the .iso on internet image file), formatting of the disc and the last 8.1 Windows installation.

  Will this work? I read that my key Win 8 OEM, which is hardcoded in the BIOS does not allow me to install Win 8.1. Users of the Forum say here and now that it is possible to perform a clean installation to win 8. How is with Win 8.1?

  I did it.  It is possible with elitebook turn...

  You will need:

  1. ISO 8.1 Windows

  2. the default Installation 8.1 Windows key (http://pastebin.com/Cs9GUhyT)<---If this="" link="" is="" gone,="" you="" can="" find="" it="" using="">

  3. your OEM of Windows 8 key (you can use the Belarc Advisor software to find, http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html. ) You can also use the Microsoft Toolkit which can enter this information for you as well)

  4 USB with at least 8 GB. (You can use a micro SD card, but it will be SLOW)

  5. Creator of YUMI (pendrivelinux.com)

  My instructions are summarized by several forum posts (one source for more details http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/48434-Windows-8-1-Clean-Install-Guide). So this point begins after you have recovered your win8 OEM key.

  Instructions

  1. you need to Download the ISO of Windows 8.1 (can be done in several ways.  If you have a key to Win8 retail, which will make life easier, otherwise look for online sources) http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57608376-285/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8.1-iso/.

  [Basically, download the windows installation 8 get started, then cancel immediately and download the windows installation 8.1.]  This is the way to circumvent the application of key windows 8.1]

  (2. After downloading the ISO, use YUMI usb creator and create a USB bootable with windows ISO 8.1).  I had problems with the boot from USB, it seems that there is a lack of design, but maybe just mine.  Let me know if you can start.  If you can not, you will need to remove the USB (1-3 mm) SLIGHTLY.  Basically, my USB does not get to bottom to start.

  3 install windows using keys to default installation 8.1.  Your OEM key will not work.  This key is only for the installation, but you will need your OEM win8 for activation key after the installation of windows.

  4. when everything is installed, go to the activation of windows , or press win + break (you may need to use a function key (fn)).  Change your product key of entering your key OEM win8.

  5. I suggest that if your laptop has softpaq Installer to your computer's drivers, install first.  Then, you can select software and drivers you want to install and do everything at once without having to download one at a time.

  6 finishing

  Let me know if you have any problems, I can walk you through it I took two days to finally understand.  I hated doing windows 8, all updates, and then update windows 8.1.

  I also recommend you only install tasks easeus backup.  You can install all your drivers and programs and then use this program to create a disk image.  My disk image is about 20 GB which is located on a secondary partition (so if your SSD crashes, it's all over well), for fast food.  It takes about 20 minutes for the backup.  Then 20 minutes to restore the disk image I think fast enough.

• What is OEM embedded Windows 8 key came with everything HP laptop?

  Hello everyone I am planing on buying a new HP laptop will be provided with Freedos
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04077266

  I have a copy of the iso of an HP OEM DVD WINDOWS PRO 8.1 that I think I'll install once I get the pc during the search for the drivers for this laptop hp special page, it prompted me to choose compatible for win 7 64 bit or win 8.1 drivers 64-bit.
  Second, I heard that newly made hp laptop have embeded authentic and official product in the bios that are more called keys bios so are - it true? and has anyone try?

  so my questions are:

  8.1 Windows will be installed on this laptop without problem? and the embeded key will work with windows 8.1 or is it for windows 8.0 only?

  Thank you all.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  If you choose the selected model 15-d010sk, it comes with no Windows preinstalled on it, so no Windows embedded key anywhere.

  I'm not entirely sure what exactly is this "HP OEM DVD WINDOWS 8.1 PRO" edition

  If you choose to buy this one or one that has FreeDOS (a type of Linux) or anyone who has no OS, you can install Windows on your own your edition and license have you already (no key or license accompanying these machines - buy you or get your own).  After installing Windows, you can visit the site of HP and download/install all the drivers and you need for the particular operating system (for example, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, etc.)

  Yes, this model has drivers for Win 7 and 8.1 (x 64 Edition) so yes, Windows 8.1 x 64 has to install and works fine without any problems.

• Purchase of a drive OEM Dell Windows 7 on Ebay

  So, I have a question about the purchase of the Dell OEM for Windows 7 dvd. I am running a Dell Optiplex GX620 with top XP Pro, and I would like to use the Dell OEM dvd to install Win 7 on it. Is it legal to buy it off of Ebay? It does not come with a COA sticker. Will I need a certificate of authenticity to install it? Thanks, XPAero

  Well, it isn't the COST however. It's only the Dell Windows 7 disc, but it does not come with the COA sticker.

  Still not legal - this disc is not for your XP computer.

  Also, I added a link to the Advisor upgrade above - run on the first XP system to see if it can run Windows 7.

• XP Pro OEM of Windows 7 OEM upgrade

  Can I legally move my XP Pro OEM of Windows 7 OEM license?

  You can move legally Windows XP Professional OEM of Windows 7 OEM [(versions de System Builder).] This will be a clean install, since there is no way to upgrade XP at all.

  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.
