OEM Windows installed on a new system and being told that my key is invalid.
Product key problem
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). »

Original title: window 7
Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.
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.
You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

installed my windows 7 Home Premium on a new hard drive, but it says my key is invalid. I bought this copy of the microsoft store and have retained the email with the key.
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
-* in your own thread *, pleaseWhat is an upgrade?
If so, you must install and activate a qualifying operating system before you perform the upgrade.
For which version and edition of Windows the computer is allowed according to the COA sticker on the case?

never had a disc of windows vista with the new laptop and no option to make a recovery disk, and I need to format my laptop to factory / clean, help!
How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Windows 7 genuine? New motherboard and processor
Hello
My motherboard and processor is dead, and you can buy them is out, so I had to buy a different motherboard and a different processor. Nothing has changed. Windows 7 activated without problem, it says "The Activation was successful" and that my Windows 7 is "authentic".
What I've heard of before is now Windows 7 becoming not authentic after the installation of updates. Is this true? I have a legitimate copy of Windows bought on Amazon. I've already talked to Microsoft to see if I could turn on a new motherboard and CPU, and they said that the key was "good" and I could activate on the new Board of Directors and the CPU.
So is this windows genuine? I have no call at all MS activation. And it will become inauthentic after installing updates?
Thank you for your help. Happy new year!
Alex
Very well. I was advised by Tom Hardware forums and Windows 7 Forum that as long as the button is activated, it will be good to use, and it can be activated because unlike most recent motherboards, the motherboard has no SLIC, integrated into the BIOS feature.
Thanks for your help.

Automated transfer of Windows 7 to a new system method?
Hello
(There is probably a thread or two on this topic already and I need a pointer to it. My keywords are not finding it.)
I replaced my PC, erase my Windows 7 Pro, then downloaded Windows 7 Pro to the new system and activating the latter.
I'm hoping there is an automated way to reactivation because trying to do it by phone has in the past taken more than two hours.
I have an account of my Product ID and the product of the last Activation key.
But on the old PC's operating system is 32-bit and I want Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on the new machine.
What will happen? Will I pay more for the 64-bit version when I download it? No doubt. It is very good. But I will be able to activate it immediately, or I have to activate the 64-bit version, on the new computer, phone?
Thank you
GP
As long as you use the same product with the same edition (Windows 7 Professional) key, the product key should work regardless of architecture (64-bit). You may experience problems with activation because it is the weekend. Try during the week.
There is no need to buy an additional license.

While the closure of the pc I got the message: "1 program still needs to be closed: (pending of) task host window's task to stop execution and stop tasks that are already running".but there is no program running and I have to force it to close.how to solve?
Hello
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.Windows, then closing, checks all open programs. If there is, it sends a request for the program to close and wait until the program closes safely, to avoid any loss of data. But, Windows is waiting for some specifiedIf you are sure that none of the programs are obviously open, you can try the following steps:Press Windows key + r, Type regedit and pres enter. If UAC prompts, click Yes. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> expand System-> expand CurrentControlSet-> click on command (exapnd no do this). When you click (or select) control, you can see WaitToKillServiceTimeout. Double-click it to change the value. Set the value to 500 or less than that. Click Ok, and then close the registry editor. Now, restart the PC. If the problem persists, stop and try again and check.Be careful with registry access as incorrect values or remove the unknown keys can prevent Windows to start and it will fix it.Response if the issue is not resolved.
