  • Can not access files or a printer on Windows 7 Home Premium system

    I have 3 (2 Windows Vista and Windows XP) computers networked through a router.  I have all three computers put in place for sharing files and printers.  I can 'ping', two of the computers to the router and get a satisfactory answer.  My new Windows 7 Home Premium system expires when you ping the router.  It seems that a port entering the Windows 7 Home Premium system blocks all incoming traffic.  Is there a 'port' that I have to open until my other computers can access the Windows 7 Home Premium system?

    Given that I had no problem it is networking of my Win7 with OS X, Linux, XP and Vista boxes since the first beta and all the way through for Win7 RTM, nor had no Win7 with LANs ien network problems, something is set incorrectly on your computers. Since there is no way I can tell what the problem is without being on the spot, my only suggestion is that you have a competent local professional, come and straighten things. Do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

  • Satellite L750-1WW - Windows 7 Home premium OEM reinstall

    Hello

    A few days ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L750-1WW used (about 3 years).

    The only issue with it is, that there Windows 7 Professional and of course corrupt, but the original OS was Home Premium. This laptop will be my mother, and I don't want to (and also) to pass messages each time you start: "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and other things.

    Another thing: there is no recovery partition! I couldn't do a simple system restore...
    However, it is a key product for HP Win7 64 bit on the bottom of the PC, it does not work on any Windows 7 (Home Premium - Ultimate - Professinal, 32-64 bit), I tried all the possibilities.

    I asked Microsoft Community to give me assistance on the resettlement of the original operating system.

    They told me to say to my Toshiba problem, because only the manufacturer can wake the system, or reinstall the original OS.
    So now, I ask you for help.

    Greetings,
    Csaba

    Hello

    > Another thing: there is no recovery partition!
    Of course the previous owner has modified (formatted) HARD drive and the table partitions, and consequently, the recovery of partitions isn't available.

    The serial key you will find at the bottom of the unit does not have in relation to the clean Microsoft Windows operating system. He touches s an OEM and belongs to the Toshiba system preinstalled.

    If you want to get the original operating system preinstalled, you can order the recovery disk. The recovery disk would fix the laptop to factory condition.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium new computer question

    Hello

    I have a question about whether or not I can reuse my Windows 7 Home Premium CD on a new computer.

    I checked several questions asked by users, and there are conflicting answers.

    I bought the product 4 years ago I think and used on a single PC that has recently had the mother go out. So I decided to buy a new integrated computer, custom, and I need to know if I can reuse my CD with Windows 7.

    There was an answer I have been see is that you can reuse the CD with Windows 7 on up to three computers at different times, but I would need to contact Microsoft to renew the activation key. Other responses indicated that only 1 product by PC and some up to three computers at the same time is possible.

    I need a clear answer, I am able to use my Windows 7 Home Premium CD on a new computer because my old one died?

    Depends on if it is OEM, full retail or upgrade.

    If OEM, it lives and dies with the first motherboard installed on.

    If it is upgraded, there must be a qualification in retail Vista or XP in order for him to be moved to another PC, even if the qualification does not need to be reinstalled first.  New installation with a Version of Windows 7 upgrade

    If it's full retail, it can move anywhere you want, as often as you wish.  If online activation fails, just use the telephone option and always reply that it is installed on a PC to pass.

  • Pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium - OEM keys - retail keys - COA label underside of the laptop... MESS!

    In 2011, I bought a laptop MSI CX 640. Windows 7 Home Edition Premium has come with it preinstalled. With that I think I buy a license for the operating system and the right to use and reinstall it if I need it.

    Over the past four years this handyman crossed a lot of Setup on the laptop, including Linux, Windows 8 and 8.1 and Windows 10 technical overview etc.

    Fast forward to today and I learned from Microsoft's offer of a free copy of Windows 10 for owners of authentic versions of Windows 7. So, what I have to do is return to the original genuine Windows 7 Home Premium I own and I will be able to reserve my copy of Windows 10 right?

    Not so fast, accomplishment that could not and certainly turned out not to be so simple at all.

    I had several long phone calls with Microsoft, who finally dumped the hot potato between the hands of MSI.

    MSI I have to say has been useful at the beginning, they sent me for free and quickly 2 recovery disks I needed that SHOULD have helped also go back to square one, just like I wanted.

    Should, but actually didn't. Recovery fails with an error that seems to imply that the process is looking for a nonexistent disk 3. MSI is perplexed, all that they have these discs and the simple instructions they send with them. In addition, they are totally in the dark and "will not go dark.

    However, one representative suggested that if I could get my hands on a copy of the operating system OEM I certainly would be able to install and use the key I have on my laptop MSI low COST label to activate it. His logic I think, so I'm going to work on this. Another detail, I have to mention is that tht key on the COA label is kind of door as they are all are sitting unprotected Abdel low. But I can take a photo in high resolution and with little digital magic improve to a point where I hope I can read almost all of it and try to guess the characters who are still in question.

    Or so I thought that, actually, he does not leave 2 possibilities.

    I'm guessing either not right (possible but not likely in my opinion, after all the tests I had) or is NOT an OEM key or if it was has now been cancelled.

    Now I'm guessing is NOT a key to the retail, who tried with a copy to the details of the operating system.

    So where this leave poor me, owner of a license of Windows 7 Edition Family Premium authentic apparently, I can't use.

    I hope that one of you readers can help understand me this and I hope my work and tribulations (I'm a very determined guy) can also help some of you in this if you are also in my shoes.

    One final note of common sense me:

    If I buy a product, whether it is OEM, sale retail or gift from God, I would get with it all licenses, numbers, keys, permissions, instructions, ten commandments necessary to have access to this product at any time and without hassle.

    Which seem to apply to most of our purchases isn't?

    NOT THIS ONE OF COURSE!   MICROSOFT?

    Why not reinstall Windows 8.1 or just enjoy the opportunity for Windows 10 preview to the free final version.

    I'll be able to upgrade the Windows 10 insider preview to the final version?

    Yes, you will be able to switch the preview of Windows Insider to the RTM version for free.

    Company officials noted that if you join the program initiated Windows you get the free upgrade to the final version.

    Last confirmation:

    When asked if there would be a date for the deadline insiders before 10 reaches RTM Windows, Gabriel Aul of Microsoft says preview builds will continue to come up to the final version.

    "We expect to keep overview to insiders builds all the way up to the RTM." More details to come, but no cuts planned. »

    https://Twitter.com/GabeAul/status/592917514503507968

    After the upgrade, you can switch to the Stable channel.

    Otherwise, your best option is to get Windows 7 Home Premium retail media and use COA key to reinstall and reactivate. To learn more:
