Product key and License Code - what is the difference?

• Pure install W7 Pro 64-bit and activate with a product key and license of W7 pro upgrade.

  As part of the upgrade of the hard drive in my laptop, I want to do a clean installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  My current license is an upgrade to W7 Home Premium 64 bit I bought after getting the laptop (several years ago).

  Can I install the ISO Digital River Win7Pro64 I downloaded and activate it using my current license?

  Only if the Windows 7 Professional 64 bit license is an upgrade or full version, not an Express upgrade.

  If it is, then Yes, you can download Windows 7 Professional 64 bit from Digital River and use it with your product key.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• U2715H - USB 10 a and 10 b what is the difference?

  The manual for the U2715H list the USB ports on the bottom of the screen as being 10A (3) and10b (1 of them).  But none is as to what the difference is between the three 10 a and 10 b ports next to the space between them.

  What is the difference between them?

  Thank you

  David

  If you plug a USB Wifi or USB mouse dongle wireless to all three USB ports 10A, you'll get interference if a keyboard USB or USB HDD was also connected to 10 a. So for the WiFi or devices wireless dongle, use 10 b or on the rear window.

• SG300 - 28 p and SG300-52, what is the difference?

  Hello

  I have SG300 - 28 p that I use as layer-3 switch. Recently, I ran to switch SG300-52 and even if loading the firmware even does not give me option to do 3-layer switching. For SG - 300 I see options in the GUI to create interfaces vlan under the information section of intellectual property, while SG300-52 option IP information only under the management section.

  Please let me know if these are 2 types of different materials and L3 is not possible on SG300-52. If its possible to activate the L3 switch on SG300-52, please tell us what Miss me in the config.

  Thanks in advance,

  Sam

  Hello Smunzani, there no difference in switches aside what is obvious, there POE and it has 52 ports vs 28 ports.

  To enable L3, you can console the switch and use the command

  "configure the router mode system.

  You can also set the mode of the system via the menu if you're using the old 1.0.0.27 firmware (that does not support the CLI textview)

  If you do not have access to the console, you can connect to the GUI and go to SECURITY-> TCP/UDP SERVICES and activate telnet then telnet to the switch as well.

• What is the difference between SATA and regular cables?

  I am a student in the article so I have a small doubt
  What is the difference between sata cables and normal

  "What is the difference between sata cables and normal."

  If by "normal" you make cables referring to the old SCSI or IDE/PATA cables in water it

  is a very big difference.

  SCSI (IDE/PATA are similar, but with the pins are connecting less) is the former cable style and support of the motherboard for the latter is way of disappearance on newer systems.

  

  SATA cables are used on the latest HARD drives and SSD and are supported by all the "modern".

  motherboards. The one in the photo was an end at right angles, but most are right.

  

  Two types of cable are used for HARD disk SSD and optical drives.

  BTW - As an IT student would serve you yourself well learn how to search the Internet for

• I have toshiba laptop and I have the product key and I do not know what windows is I can find it with the product key

  I have toshiba laptop and I have the product key and I do not know what windows is I can find it with the product key or any body help, I can't use it

  You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

  If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

  It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!

• My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

  My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

  Hello

  You mean the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

  If you do, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  See you soon.

• When I did this it called my disabled factory or pirated disk. How can I take my PC off the product key and got my other PC for its use?

  I have Windows 7 Professional.  Used it on my PC and then I had to buy a new Dell computer, as my old PC blew the motherboard.  The new Dell came with 8.1 if I want to install 7 on my wife's computer, as it did in Win98.   When I did this it called my disabled factory or pirated disk.   How can I take my PC off the product key and got my other PC for its use?

  If Windows 7 Professional is pre-installed on your Dell computer, it cannot be transferred. If it is a license purchased at a retail store, he transfer rights.

  A computer running Windows 98 is perhaps not powerful enough to run Windows 7.

  * 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

  How to transfer a retail license.
