Portege R500 - Toshiba does sell OEM licenses for Windows 7

Hello

I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP.
I have now installed a version of Windows 7 without activation to see if all the drivers are working (Windows 8 is not supported I know).

Everything looks good and Windows tells me now as planned, it is not authentic and propose to buy the license, but when I go to MS it fails (it seems that MS sells not more Windows 7).

Toshiba sells licenses for Windows 7 for a R500 OEM?

It would be a shame to throw it away because of this.

Thank you
Markus

All you can do is to order a Toshiba Recovery disk.
The recovery disc contains exactly the same operating system that was preinstalled on the laptop on the first day of purchase.

In your case, this means that you will get the recovery with Win XP OS disk.

As Timox said: If you want to use the other system than Win XP, you must purchase the Microsoft operating system.

    Original title: Windows 7 license

    Product keys are not sold separately, but you can buy a license for sale at retail and use the packaging product key:

    Microsoft is no longer at the price of Windows 7 because it ended sales in October 2013, so you will have to turn to third party providers who might still have in stock. Please note, due to demand and scarcity, there could be no available retail license and you may have to settle for licenses OEM System Builder, which are just as effective but come with license restrictions (which to be honest, are not a lot of weight, given that all future versions of Windows are full anyway (Windows 8.1 and later) versions. Please note that you must purchase the corresponding edition that corresponds with the drive you have:

    I have the license for windows vista Home premium 64-bit.  I had to replace the motherboard in my pc.
    so I had to reinstall windows, but only had a copy of windows xp from an old computer.
    what I have to buy a new copy of windows vista?

    Hello

    If vista is preinstalled, motherboards change should be done in conjunction with the manufcacturer of the computer

    preinstalled OEM licenses are tired to the original material on which they are installed

    the license dies when the computer dies

    If a retail license, you can change morherboards

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    Windows has no

    I had to spend my PC this morning. Moving it, I decided to implement a new network card. When I reconnected it all the cables, I plugged my USB mouse on another USB port where it had been plugged in before. The computer is more than 7 years old and I've never had a problem with the front Windows Validation. I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    When Windows checks to see if you have moved your copy of Windows to "another computer", among other things, that his focus on the identification of several strands of material in the computer to see if they are different than when Windows was first installed.  I do not remember the list for now, but I remember that the network card is one of the pieces - and IIRC it is 'valuable' higher than others to reach the conclusion.

    You probably other elements has changed over the past seven years and now Windows has decided to have a "new" computer  Assuming that you haven't changed the motherboard - if you had, you would have had this issue at the time wherever you did--your installation is still legal.  Reactivate using your original license key. It should work online, but you will need to call the number that appears in the error message from re - validate.

    I want to connect my Portege R500 laptop to a Toshiba 19AV505D LCD TV.

    I tried to use a HDMI VGA cable and change the screen resolution of 800 x 600 and 16-bit color, but it does not recognize the tv.
    Any ideas?

    Device manual says use a DVI cable to HDMI and I tried this first with a VGA Converter (as there is no socket DVI on the R500) but that didn't work either.
    Would be a SCART to VGA cable work?

    What VGA-> HDMI adapter are you using?

    What version HDMI support?

    Maybe the TV requires HDMI v1.2 or v1.3 (see user manual)

  • Portege R500 - Touchpad does not scroll after Windows 7 upgrade

    Hello!! Happy new year!!

    I got a great Christmas present, an upgrade to windows 7, so I upgraded the operating system of my Portege R500 of Bussiness from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium. Up here, the performance of the laptop has improved BUT the touchpad is not working properly and with correctly I mean that scrolling is not working more. I checked toshiba Web page downloads and there is no driver for the touchpad for windows 7. Is that what I can do to back the scroll function to work or is it just a matter of patience

    Thanks in advance for the help
    See you soon

    If you are certain that there is no driver Toshiba and is your Synaptics touchpad then try their drivers for Windows 7 [http://www.synaptics.com/support/drivers/]

  • Portege R500 - Vista does not SP1 using windows update

    I just got a new Portege R500.

    Do not specify the information of Windows Vista Service Pack 1, so I guess that's not?
    But the automatic windows update does not offer to install SP1.

    What I have to do it manually? How?

    The other question is: is it OK to do, or are there many problems with drivers after that.

    Please help out me.

    Hello

    First update of Windows is always desirable and SP1 is really necessary, because it fixes many bugs in Vista.

    One of the reasons why Windows Vista doesn't automatically update the SP1 version, is that SP1 can be installed.
    Check if SP1 has been installed. To do this follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, right-click computer and then click Properties.
    2. Windows Vista SP1 is installed, you will see a reference to Windows Vista SP1 is displayed at the bottom of the Windows edition section

    However, I found a useful document of Microsoft Knowledge that could help you to update SP1
    [Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows Update and is not offered by automatic updates | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948343]

  • Windows OEM license for physical relationship.

    I ask this question in the forum Hardware because what I read; a Windows OEM license is married to a motherboard or hard drive.

    Is this true? The results of the research gave me conflicting answers.

    What happens if the motherboard or the C: drive dies? the associated Windows license would be lost with her?

    A computer components store told me that for the OEM depends more on what are the elements of qualification you purchase, or when you buy them. Which is in conflict with what I read.

    Note - my choice of OS Windows is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1, OEM.

    OEM qualifies for all DIY systems.
