OEM to retail activation key.
I have an old computer that was supplied with the OEM version of Windows 7 Home premium from the manufacturer. Now, I would like to buy a new computer with hardware upgraded without operating system and simply change the hard drive from the old computer to the new computer. I understand that my version of Windows 7 OEM is not possible, but can I buy an activation key to retail to OEM upgrade to the commercial version, which makes it possible to do what I wish and just change the hard drive from the old to the new computer.
If it is possible to purchase an activation key to retail via Microsoft OEM upgrade, retail, this implies a re-installation or simply be a change of activation key without having to do a reinstall because obviously, it would be much easier if it was just a change activation key online.
I thank, in advance, of any person who could answer my question, eyes, the wegVU.

While you might be able to get away with the swap key there are many other issues that would make you life difficult as pilots. Adds that any error you have in the current system combined with the new hardware could lead to BSOD
I know it's a PITA, but if you buy new hardware I think you would want a clean boot from the OS as well and install it clean.

original title: Windows XP Pro product keys
Different versions of Windows X is made?
That is to say) the product key from your laptop will work with "ANY" XP CD (OEM or other)
I know that with Win 7 there no difference
My wife has an XP laptop that needs a reconstruction (it is sloooow) and the original recovery CD corrupted - will be a work of standard CD - with its original product key?
I don't want to go there and try - for fear that once the installation started - the hard drive will be formatted and it won't come back!
Very!
Each version of XP had its own drive and discs were also different between OEM and retail channels.
Some manufacturers also BIOS-locked their discs so that they could not even start running on computers other than their own.

In fact, I have two questions:
[1] my niece has a HP laptop with a sticker of the OEM Vista Business product key on the bottom. She has no HP restore disks or something like that. The computer was demoted in XP and now there is something wrong and Windows fails to start (goes to blank blue screen with the mouse pointer, no further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business. Can I use its product key with my Vista disks professional retail to install Vista on her computer? It is the key to correct OEM, original to this computer product.
If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?

No, this is not possible. I guess that you don't really want
"retired", and that XP has been installed clean.and now there is something wrong and that Windows will not start
Something new, or it never does to start XP?

No. an OEM product key does not work with a retail CD. The CD and the
product key must match with respect to retail vs OEM, complete vs.
Upgrade and family or professional.If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?
Whatever you do, you must first copy the Word documents and music
files from external media: CD, DVD, USB keys, eternal hard drive
etc. Even if could do an upgrade (which you do not have a key for) you
should do it because there is always a risk of losing everything.Ken Blake (MS-MVP)

Help please - recover Vista Activation key
The two HARD drives on my son Jonathan HP laptop recently became corrupt and then dead beyond resuscitation (according to two disc test utilities).
A few years ago, we bought the laptop for him. I removed the wrong drive and formatted backup drive (because there are corrupted files), and since it does not create the rescue disks, I installed my old copy of Vista Home Premium 64. The computer that I installed initially this O.S. has since been wiped and a new copy of Windows 7 was installed.
The sticker with the original serial number / activation key # on the back of the laptop of Jonathan carried through beyond being readable. However, the serial number of HP is still readable.
1. How can I retrieve the original key to the original installation of Vista 64 Home Premium?
1. work this key with the installation of my Vista installation disc anymore?
2. If an answer to Q1 is not available, can I use my older disk of Vista 64 Home Premium laptop of Jonathan key successfully can continue to receive vital updates?
3. If the answers to both 1 & 2 are negative, Microsoft will release a new key/activation code, and if so, where should I go to acquire it?
Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Hello
Microsoft will not replace your lost on an HP machine pre-installed product key
support comes from HP for this computer not microsoft
If a computer came preinstalled vista dell HP etc it is selected as an OEM license and is linked to the original computer it is installed on and is not transferable
When the computer dies dies of windows with her license
He bought a retail vista license yourself it is transferable
but you must still know the product key
and it can only be installed on a computer at any time
but as you never said what kind of vista licenses you have read the above and decide what licenses you have
and if the hard drive has been wiped and the product key sticker is unreadable we cannot help you recover a product key
If your son's computer came with preinstalled vista application to HP you send for her recovery disks
normally is not required during their use product key entry
BUT ask 1 HP

What is the serial key and activation key for Microsoft professional win7 64 bit?
Original title: WHAT IS THE SERIAL KEY AND ACTIVATION KEY TO PROFFESNIOL MS WIN7 64 BIT.

ME TELL WHAT IS THE SERIAL KEY AND ACTIVATION KEY TO PROFFESNIOL MS WIN7 64 BIT
REAL NAME = X 17 - 59186.iso
You will need to buy a license to activate this copy of Windows 7 Professional. It doesn't have a product key, you will need to have that already.
You can even buy an edition much cheaper if you like Home Premium, since it will be for domestic use.
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.

I download the file the site Web of Digital River .iso image and I would like to install Win 7 on a computer that is running Windows XP now. Is this possible? I know I have to buy a license (activation key) how can I do this?
You would need to buy a package of retail or OEM System Builder License in order to obtain the product key, which would defeat the purpose of download it anyway.

OT: Cannot activate win 8 on my laptop due to the change of hard disk.
Hi all
I have a Samsung np550p5c-s05in and it came installed with 64-bit Windows 8, later, the hard drive developed a few problems and as I had guaranteed him, they were replaced by a new, but this one came with a victory 8 32-bit that is not enabled. Now, I got the product key of victory last 8 I had so I tried using them to activate, but an error came that said something like
"The key provided is not for this edition of windows,
Use the installer of windows 8 or enter an activation key 8 windows. »
So it was logical that the key I had was for a 64-bit win 8, so I installed win 8 64 bits of an image file and then I repeated the same procedure to enter the key and the same error came once again.
I would ask so you people to please help me with this, because I have no idea whatsoever what to do next.
Thanks in advance,
SamizZy
All laptops with preinstalled Windows 8.1 are OEM version of the product that are modified by computer makers. You cannot activate a product of retail of Windows 8 with an OEM key.
When get you the computer from the computer. I suggest that you create a recovery disk to help you in the future.

My activation key does not work
Last year, I bought an oem version of XP Home for use on a PC, I intend to build this year. The shipment arrived with a COA sticker containing the activation key. Recently, I tried to install this copy as expected. The key has been rejected repeatedly and XP remains uninstalled. Is it possible to fix this?
Please provide the exact message that you receive when the product key is rejected.
You are absolutely positive that you typed in the correct key, sometimes a B looks like an 8 or a Q may resemble an O etc.

Windows activation key is do not qualify
Previous post stated that I could not locate Windows Vista activation key. I found the key, when I enter it I get the message "Software Licensing Service reported that the license evaluation failed. Suggestions please.
Before this AM, I had no problem, the computer is almost 4 years now. This AM, I received a disk error message and the computer "repaired" himself. Now I get the message that Windows is not activated.
The key on the COA sticker on your computer is not really designed for activation. It's just a technical formality. Computer manufacturers main Windows installations come pre-activated by using what we call 'SLP' aka the pre-activation locked system. This system uses the computer's BIOS, a special OEM key and a special certificate of OEM to activate the computer. If any of these items are deleted, corrupted, damaged, or changed... Windows may ask to reactivate, as he lost his pre-enabled state.
Without recover your computer to a factory State, it can be difficult to get the system re-activated. Using the HP Recovery Manager or HP recovery to the recovery disks, the computer will be solove this question, but you will need to re-install all your software-at the factory, the updates of Windows and also back up and restore your personal data.

Activation key valid only for the update
I'll try to be brief... I have the battle with a nasty virus that, until I got rid of him, did a lot of registry changes. Even though I got rid of the virus, affects after having required that I do a new install. One of the changes the virus made to the registry has prevented the normal installation process see the C: drive. It was visible in my computer, but when you went to manage disks, it wasn't there while the program had nowhere to live.
I tried everything I could think of, but in the end, I had to boot from the CD to get the course of the installation. When I entered my key, he said that it was not valid for an upgrade and installation not complete. I went ahead anyway because it was the only option I had. After all, the PC OEM supplied with XP and I paid for the upgrade, then, what is the difference.
So... what should I do at this point? My activation key is only valid for an upgrade, not a full install.

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/laptopIf 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.
