• Get Windows 7 on another computer

  I recently bought a ThinkPad Edge 14 and with it a copy of the 64-bit Windows 7 preinstalled.

  Seeing that I use based on unix systems for work, I was wondering if I could wear somehow the copy of Windows 7 that came on the ThinkPad Edge on my desk at home.

  It would be a possibility?

  Thank you

  When you buy a computer with Windows, you get an OEM license. The license OEM Windows belong to the computer and not you and cannot be legally transferred to a new computer. If the computer license die with the computer or in the case where you are selling the computer the new owner will receive the license as well as it belongs to the computer.

• HP: unlock OEM windows 7 for use with another computer?

  Hello

  I recently got a HP computer with an OEM windows installation 7. After the machine (fatal hardware failure), I tried to use the windows key to install it on another computer. However, the key is an OEM product and would not activate, so after talking to microsoft they sent me here to ask if the manufacturer could "unlock" the key for use with another computer (that I build from scratch).

  So all this possible? Or do I have to buy a new license?

  Okay, Ive talked to HP and microsoft and it turns out that the key has been blocked (pirates). So much for the purchase of second hand.

• Use OEM Windows 7 Pro in virtual computer; Enterprise of Windows 8.1 in the physical Machine

  Hello

  I need some real tips on Windows license manager that I don't want to go against all Microsoft software license.

  As a backdrop, I have the following:

  -an OEM Windows 7 Pro that came with the purchase of a Dell PC

  -a license in Volume Windows 8 with Software Assurance purchased by my company

  I would like to know if I can install the copy of the OEM Windows 7 Pro in a virtual machine on the Dell PC, while having a Windows Installer on the physical PC/computer Dell 8.1. i.e. physical Machine Dell PC = Windows Enterprise 8.1; Virtual machine in the same Dell PC is Windows 7 Pro OEM.

  I don't want to do a dual boot to install because it will be difficult to remove once my 3rd party applications fully supports Windows 8.1; and I also want to keep my PC as clean as possible. I also can't use one of the Open License of Windows 8 as a lower upgrade to Windows 7 as this installation will take another license to use.

  I read from the windows 7 EULA that:

  'Use with Virtualization Technologies. Rather than use the software directly on the licensed computer, you can install and use the software within the virtual (or emulated) only on the licensed computer system... »

  I was wondering that the clause applies, but I don't know if the OEM Windows 7 Pro can be activated on a virtual machine because I don't have the OEM product key.

  Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  It's the same clause I was going to paste attesting that you can install the license OEM Windows 7 in a VM.

  
  

  In addition, since you have Windows Enterprise 8.1, you can use the built in Hyper-v:

  Windows 8 integrates into hypervisor called Hyper-V.

  This requires that your processor supports the translation of the secondary addresses.

  To see if your processor is supported:

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click on programs and features

  Click on turn Windows features on or off

  See if you can check off Hyper-V and all its options of void

  If this isn't the case, it does not support Hyper-v.

  You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

• OEM Windows 7 installation on another computer after the first dead

  I recently bought a laptop computer without an operating system, and the seller I sold separately an OEM Windows 7 Professional version. I installed and activated this version of Windows. I must return this laptop because I was not satisfied with it. The seller will refund me the price of the laptop, but not Windows. Can I use this version of Windows, or do I have to just eat the cost?

  OEM cannot be moved to a new computer. You will need to buy another copy to install Windows on another computer.

  Can move you to a new Windows 7 computer

  If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own XP/Vista license qualification). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

  If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

• OEM Windows installed on a new system and being told that my key is invalid.

  Product key problem

  A year ago, I bought a version of XP SP3 OEM and installed on a computer (clean install).  No problems.  A few months later, I had to wipe the drive and reinstall.  Once again, no problem.  Now I got a new computer, but when I try to install with the same disk (clean install) and the same product key, I like that is not valid.  Some things that are not a factor:

  Damaged drive.  The disc is impeccable.

  Error in the Enter key.

  Key is not not the disc.

  I don't see how something other than the computer, the key and installation disc could play a role.  I hope that Microsoft does not know what I do in my room.  I even traded keyboards, that someone suggested that this could be a factor (speaking with an accent keyboard?).

  My next step is to wipe the drive and start over, but I think I'll meet the same problem, because players will be the same.

  Any ideas?

  After the activation of Windows XP on the older PC, having to reactivate Windows XP is not so rare that are several hardware changes within a short time, not to mention the motherboard.

  Change the motherboard is a reactivation guaranteed event.  Just change all the RAM, PSU, CPU and made it a videocard in a few weeks.  "Activate Windows" more on wikipedia lists the 8 areas checked.

  The OEM Windows disk from the manufacturer-, Dell, HP etc. get of course do this even in the BIOS.  Dell OEM Windows on a non Dell motherboard, which I thought would do, would lead to shop for an another Windows Installer.

  This is how Windows mysteriously know material changes without connection to Microsoft.com - the BIOS chip.

  Beware of sellers on ebay with a still sealed OEM disc, but with a touch of product USED or not.   OEM disc will work as it clearly says right on it:

  "Relocation... CD '. Don't use this software to reinstall the operating system on a computer (mfgr)... For distribution only with a new computer (mfgr). »

• Windows cannot repair this computer automatically (Vista) after changing the motherboard

  Clarification:
  Windows Vista is preinstalled on this system?
   
  If I read (and cited only) correctly - Yes, which is not going to work.  The license for Windows Vista was related to the Compaq system motherboard.  If you had that repaired under warranty, HP? Compaq could have helped you.  As you have created a new machine (motherboard especially) now, you will need to purchase a new license for Windows Vista or any other operating system of your choice.
   
  You could, I suppose, buy the OEM of Windows 8 version.  You will have the same problem later (OEM licenses is related to the first motherboard it is installed and activated with.)

  Generic OEM? or did you buy a Dell installation disk to reinstall the operating system on an existing Dell computer came with Windows 7?

  If generic OEM, then he should have with a product key.

  If a Dell OEM drive, you have no need to enter a product key, but if you are prompted for one, then you need to get the product key off the coast of the COA sticker on your computer.

  If these are OEM System Builder licenses, they should be accompanied with reinstall media.

  If these are OEM licenses belonging to DELL, HP, Lenovo brand computers, then you cannot install them elsewhere but the computer to which they belong.
