OEM key does not a version upgrade from vista hp

I have an upgrade copy of windows vista, I used it to clean a laptop that is Linux, now, when I enter the key OEM COA, it says its invalid but this is the orignal operating system the laptop was on the installation, how can I get this to work and authentic?

Hi Vetsoh Productions,

If you have received the Dell upgrade, see the following article:

http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/DSN/en/document?c=US&DL=false&l=en&s=GEN&docid=2A6841424B916A0FE040A68F5B2828EE&doclang=en&cs=

If this does not work, should be contacted for any additional questions about their software OEM Dell Support:

http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/vista_support/vista_main?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&redirect=1

Finally, the Windows Upgrade versions require that an earlier version of Windows is installed on your computer before installing a later version.

I hope this helps!

  • Satellite A200-10N (PSAE3): Fn key does not work after upgrade to vista any time

    After upgrading Vista-Home - Premium--> Vista Ultimate shortcut with the fn keys does not work, for example Fn + F6/7 (brightness).

    New value pack installation has not been successful.
    Moreover, after upgrading the drive to DVD from Toshiba is default, too.
    Who can help?

    I didn't try any update on my A200 but you can try to follow: install Vista using recovery media delivered. When Vista starts for the first time go in Panel and you can find Add/Remove Programs option. Remove all the stuff designed by Toshiba.

    When we remove everything, making Vista upgrade. After finishing Vista upgrade install all the stuff of Toshiba designed by order of specific facilities starting with added value package. Check please the download page if all of these tools and utilities are available.

    As far as I know all the tools and utilities are designed as universal tools and I can't imagine that there is a difference between the version of Vista ultimate or premium tools.

    DVD player is part of the image of the installations only and I can imagine that upgrade installation has changed something, but the upgrade procedure is responsible for this. I don't see any connection to Toshiba.

    As I said I don't have a CD to upgrade, but if I find one I'll try to test it on my Vista (Premium) preinstalled A200-1CR.

    Bye and I hope that you report your experiences with the Vista upgrade again.

  • Pavilion Elite m9340f: m9340f windows version upgrade from Vista 64

    I bought the Pavilion Elite m9340f in 2008, and the computer continues to work very well with the originally installed Vista 64-bit.

    I get notifications that both IE-9 that Google-Chrome 48.0.2564.103 m are no longer in charge and not working properly with many Web sites.

    I see a lot of people on the forums of the historical problems with Windows 7, 8 and 10 updates on the m9340f.  The HP support site clearly states that the m9340f has not been tested with Windows 8, and I don't see anything about HP confirming the test he m9340f with Windows 7 or 10.

    I am very careful about the updates of Windows does not properly with the hardware configuration of m9340f.  Can someone please give me some advice on the modernization of this machine for a version of windows that will allow me to have the features Google Chrome and IE, but will not do something elese to become non-functional.

    Thanks in advance,

    dberberick

    dberberick,

    The main reason I don't like the upgrade, is that the problems you had with the previous operating system tend to make their way in the new OS. You also have the previous residual files, which can cause problems.

    (1) what would be the result?

    If you haven't experienced or unfamiliar problems with Windows Vista, the upgrade to Windows 7 should be simple and without problems during migration.

    (2) what version of Windows 7?

    Unless you need functions of class Affairs (unique encryption, join a domain, etc.), it is not really a necessity for professionals.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Various services not loading after upgrade from Vista Home Premium to SP2

    I searched the forums for solutions to this problem for several days, but nothing helped. I first noticed the problem after an attempted upgrade to SP2, when the upgrade failed Mid - install and restored automatically to the previous pack service, it seems that it does not restore things to their good working condition. On the one hand, the audio service no longer works, despite attempts to start in services.msc. I am also unable to check the dependencies of this service. Second, the network in the taskbar icon indicates that the connection status is unknown, despite the fact that I can not connect and this post. Thirdly, arranging complains that it has stopped working.
    I tried several fixes, like uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, running virus scans and replacement of dll files download, but nothing has changed. I also tried the sfc/scannow command. to identify the root cause, but can not start repair services. Restore to the last know good configuration was my last attempt to win back a system that works, but this service is also blocked, complaining that the volume shadow copy service is not functional (even if I can throw in services). All previous changes have been made using administrator privileges.
    Does anyone have any suggestions before you reinstall the operating system? (ASUS laptop refurbished w/o a DVD of vista) Would be very grateful if you can provide help on this

    Thank you!
