  Activation of WINDOWS VISTA oem with another oem drive?

  HI I have a computer with windows vista business on that key. Apparently, I do not have the original OEM drive but I have a dell windows vista Enterprise drive. the product to activate my acer desktop computer?

  Hello

  A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

  Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

  http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

  And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

  With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

  See you soon.

  Full version - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  
  

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  
  

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

  
  

  
  

  
  

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

• How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  How can I reinstall Windows XP?  I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records.  I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM.  It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Going to replace my hard drive, I'm unable to use my OEM of Windows Vista 32 - bit with the new drive copy?

  I plan to replace my current hard drive (which is functional, but not surprising in the first place) with a Solid State drive, which will help to my Alienware Area-51 m9750 notebook.  I find a reader fully compatible solid state, but I'm not there purchase Alienware.  I'm currently under Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), and I still have the recovery DVD used to reinstall the operating system.  I reformatted my hard drive several times using this disc, each time that the deletion of the whole score and starting from scratch.  Every time I did it, I'm never asked to activate my copy of windows, mysteriously turned on when I boot on my new install of Windows for the first time, without even plugging the cable Ethernet first, and my house has no wireless network.

  I wonder, if/when I install a new hard drive, will have a different experience somehow in regards to Windows activation?  I'm unable to use my OEM of Windows copy at all?  Alternatively, my windows mysteriously will activate itself without ever seeing the internet as it does now?

  I love installing Windows and then do not need to activate it, and I hope I have that experience when I install my new hard drive.

  I just want to know what to expect in terms of my ability to use my copy of Vista OEM, and what process I have to go through to make it fully functional.

  Thank you very much!

  The physical hard disk (solid state or record) is not serious for the operating system that is installed on.  As long as the drive is a standard interface and does not require special drivers not work (and most don't), you should have no problem.
   
  The recovery disks you are using are set to read specific information about the motherboard and as long as there is this particular information, that it is looking she will be triggered and doesn't have to go online to activate as the retail of Windows is required to do.  The only problem with this type of activation, it's that if the motherboard fails ever it should be replaced with a similar brand and model or autonomous activation fails and the operating system is an OEM version that is related to this motherboard and cannot be enabled on a newer replacement.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

  Does anyone have access to the correct drivers that works on Windows 7 (32-bit)?

  This laptop only came with Windows 8.

  All of the similar Dell products that have DW1704 wireless card not containing or have an incompatible version of the combo without wireless/Bluetooth driver set.

  Hmm I had a similar problem, but my Dell 3137 seemed to have a Dell 1705 Wireless-N card. Windows 7 recognized the BT 'half' of the card, but I was myself to find the drivers for the WiFi of the half of the map.

  You have a 1704, yet it seems that our hardware PCI ID are the same.

• Can I clean the hard drive before installing Windows Dell & as I've heard doesent clean properly. And how to clean the drive of DART?

  Can I clean hard drive before installing Dell Windows 7 / as I have heard it is not clean everything properly. So how to clean the hard drive?

  Or can I restore my office before you install Windows 7 in the first place when it's new?

  Kind regards

  Bert Pooler

  Yes, you can restore the State as it was when new...

  Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

  After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

• Version OEM Dell off of Windows 7 on a Lenovo laptop

  A month ago, I bought a copy of Windows Home Premium from a Web site selling Dell OEM DVD because it was cheap. They don't advertise that the software was software OEM; I found out about it after that it was delivered. My laptop is a Lenovo SL500 but I thought that I could install the OEM Dell version anyway and then install the Lenovo drivers and finally, make a RAM upgrade. Everything worked fine with laptop Windows 7 newly connected after upgrading RAM. The system now says that my version of Windows is not genuine. When I go to the Microsoft support website and run the ActiveX control to locate the product id, it says my product id are not supported in my country of origin.

  What I don't know is if its due to the RAM upgrade or because installing a Dell OEM of Windows version on a Lenovo laptop is not allowed. Also, I would like to know if there is any recourse? Please notify. Thank you!

To the best of my knowledge I can't install Windows 8.1 without going through Windows 8, I understood that the Win8 product key will not work with 8.1.

  My friend had not bothered to create a recovery partition recovery disk before failure.

  I have managed to extract the product key from the BIOS and went to the Microsoft site www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only where I have downloaded and run setup.exe windows8

  When you are prompted for the product key, I entered the 25-character code that I had extracted from the BIOS. The response was "this product key cannot be used to install a retail version of Windows 8.

  You look at the very imperfect and downloader does not license for the OEM. Microsoft has improved since the Downloader to give a Windows 8.1 with update 1 .iso. This new Downloader does not require a product key, so can be used with OEM license. The main trick is to select the correct edition of Windows 8.1 that sometimes 'Windows 8.0/8.1' is sold as 'Windows 8.0/8.1 single language' or ' Windows 8.0 / 8.1N "."» If you are using the correct edition you get your product key screen entry and be taken directly to the screen of the license agreement. If the wrong edition is selected, you will be prompted for a product key. Also, I recommend using Rufus to make a USB Bootable key that will allow you to install to GPT in a UEFI BIOS with active SecureBoot. See here for more details where I demonstrate the procedure on my Dell laptop:

• Reclassification of Vist to Windows 7. How can I purchase a version upgrade compared to the purchase of a new package of Windows 7.

  I have Windows Vista 64 bit, OEM installed on my computer, but does not receive the original disk.  Looking to upgrade to windows 7.  At the same time, I want to start with a clean hard disk (reformatting).  I also have a box of 7 windows CD, but it has been installed on another computer.   How can I reformat my hard drive and do a windows 7 upgrade.  I think that if I can get another license number, I can use my cd to do the reinstall.  suggestions?

  Hello

  It depends on the type of Windows 7 license you, as to whether you can transfer it or not.

  Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

  OEM licenses are not transferable.

  If you have purchased your own license retail of Windows 7 and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

  Retail licenses are transferable.

  Just be sure that you have only installed on one machine at a time.

  A single license means one Installation.

  And there is no way to upgrade between 32-bit and 64-bit, or 64 bit to 32 bit.

  They must be the same bit syastem of operation or a clean install should be done.

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  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.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
