Questions about Windows 7 Ultimate activation.

OT: Activation of Windows 7.

My question is rather unusual. I see a lot of questions and answers online, what to do if you have lost your original Windows install disks, but I need to know what to do if I "lost" the computer and disks.

The situation is that I am trying to build my own computer and he was looking through the software on the shelves to see what we had. Well, I fell on an original Windows 7 Ultimate (not OEM and not upgrade) installation disc in its original packaging, including the product key sticker. My wife thinks she may have bought it during the last thought that she could use it in the future. I don't think that it has never installed because every machine we already bought came with a version of Windows OEM, and I am sure that we would have purchased an upgrade rather than a full version of any upgrade of Windows on these machines. In any case, I am absolutely certain (probably) any computer, it may have been installed is long gone (resolved, not sold).

Before attempting to install this on my shiny new machine, I want to know in advance what kind of questions can I meet as much as to try to activate the product on the new machine. If it has been installed and activated in the past, the computer on which it was installed is so more current usage, but will that prior activation prevent me to activate it on the new machine? If this situation arises, what should I do to convince Microsoft to inactivate it on the old computer?

The fact that a product has been activated for a long time, does not mean that the PC, it was activated on still works.

You would have created with Office 2013 and files installation and any key is held in the account of MS win8 on purchase which you can access at any time to reallocate your key to a new PC (commercial versions)

Some other software manufacturers have a similar system

  • Windows 7 Ultimate activation problems

    I installed Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM one) on my computer and then upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate (also OEM) some time last year. Unfortunately, the main hard drive crashed between yesterday and today, and I have recently reinstalled the two OSs on the new hard drive, as well as the upgrade of the processor and the video card. These are the only changes I did and Windows 7 Home Premium installed and activated fine. Windows 7 Ultimate refuses to activate. Is there a way to fix this or am I stuck with having to buy a new product key?

    -Update-
    Called Microsoft Support, and they were able to give me a new phone verification code. Works great, Windows 7 Ultimate active just fine and all is good now.

    Yes, the OEM versions will be reaactivate very well as long as you do not change the motherboard.

  • Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

    I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

    Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

    Lenovo ThinkPad T450

    Model: 20BV00BUS

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

    RAM: 4 GB

    Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

    Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

    Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

    A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

    I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

    This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

    The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

    Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

    Kind regards

    Victor L.

    Hi Victor,

    I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

    We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

    To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

    Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

    (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

    Select Start,

    Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

    If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards, Max.

  • Question about windows theme and display of Web pages

    I have everything, I'm new here, I've had my laptop for about 8 months, but it was stored for the 6 months, so he had only 3 months of use, and that was 99% for watching movies as was my laptop backup (my girlfriends, which was never used)...
    Well I just got my laptop storage and started using it again as I want now to do that my main work computer, it's a Satellite A100 Series. Running Win XP Pro SP2. Well, now I used it for about 1 week now and this is a fantastic computer, expecially the swipe away feature, I'm usually one XP Home Edition, but I do with Pro, just did not have any experience with it...

    Now, here's the problem, and this has always been the problem since bought, when we first bought it and connected to the internet with IE7 fonts have been massive, I figured out how to fix this in the display after a few hours to play settings and also noticed Web pages if there is a background image, it does not appear... (I also found this week is the same for any application on the PC that uses a Web page as Set up, or something, just sectain things... as I open the Security Center in the control panel and everything is white, and background images aren't there (which is white) and even corners which are background pictures are not displayed and comparing to) my other computer, there should be a green and red, background color etc.
    With Windows Media Player buttons should be as purple and black in WMP11, and they like a white background style html on buttons with links to them at the top and playback, stop, etc buttons have a back outside and the inside is white...

    Basically what I'm saying, is that she appears not CSS style WC3 content on some pages and applications on the laptop, and with regard to Web pages that they are exactly the same, I tried IE7, FireFox, front Browser, and still, the only one that displays pages almost as it should is Opera 9.2, but I really need to solve this problem... it is something simple to do with display obioussly , or settings, but I have tried literally every single different way of doing things last week, tried everything in the Control Panel, all toools Toshiba and no results.

    I'm not a beginner, or whatever it is, I can't get this problem, I can't even think of a setting that would do this let alone in trying to resolve this... I have all the Windows updates (although as I said, he did this from the first day of purchase)...

    If I could post a screenhot here I could show you... what Web pages look like in IE7 and FireFox and before (the only difference is Internet Explorer pages is mostly gray and firefox is white, gray is also.)

    Another question, when I was messing with the settings in the Control Panel, under Performace I changed it to something like 'make optimal display for performace' rather than 'Best to display' and it is then my control panel simple with a white background, and everything is not how I'm used, even the categories are made for each section , they are just all grouped together here, and my house Windows on my other laptop is positioned like this, but it at least has a sidebar on the left with a button to change it back...
    now I am at a loss to find the Performace button, as it is there is more, and I want to change it to 'show better for display' not the persomance... so if someone knows how to do this, please let me know... I took a screenshot of my control panel... and it's not naked, I use the Zune Windows (the black buttons and backgrounds theme ), so he used to be a gray background with a status bar on the side with all the links and details dark just like folders etc... So yes, it is another thing that I want to fix.

    Also I do not have the CD to fix it, not more that I think that she needs, but I have a standard out of the box disk Win Xp Pro, I was seriusosly do a fresh install, but I know I'll lose all modules of toshiba and all the extras that it is came up with, that's the only reason for which I don't have as it has Protector Suite QL, that I would have to pay to settle down to do a cleanup, and I really want to do because there is obviously something missing, its as simple as that, there is nothing wrong with the system it is just not set up correctly.

    Here are some screenshots of how I see Web pages, my Security Center Page and my control panel because I messed up he do "Get the best performace of" upward and the screen turned to the basic white and half things in the control panel is now missing, it has been setup in the previous categories... ahhhhh When I try to solve the original problem, I've done another...

    http://i203.Photobucket.com/albums/aa134/phorumws/just%20stuff/ScreenHunter_01-1.jpg

    {It is the Security Center screen when I click in the Panel, that was before I did it fade)

    http://i203.Photobucket.com/albums/aa134/phorumws/just%20stuff/ScreenHunter_02Sep3021.54.jpg

    ("it's now my control panel once I went in ' Premformance and display ' (I think. it was certainly performace in the name of the category)... and I changed a parameter of performance and display which actually use less resources... now I can't change it back, as the button performace is no more :())

    Thanks for reading and I hope although there, can anyone help me cos I hate having to do a fresh install on something as small as this, it is not many programs Add on on my laptop, as I said, it has probably beeen used 20 times ever, and especially for watching movies up to 1 week where it sat in storage for 6 months ago ,,

    Any help would be greatly appreciated... I tried all the Options of the Internet, all the Display Options, all variants, I need something specific, it is not only perform the internet, but the global programs with html style links, etc. and certainly CSS style sheets and the background image in the HTML feature.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jay

    Very impressive display! I can see after 4 days, nobody wrote anything to give you the solution for your problem. I read your announcement with a lot of attention and I have to say that it was not easy to figure out your problem exactly (perhaps because English is not my native language).

    I know very well that new OS install is radical and last solution but I recommend you to check some forums Microsoft WXP because issue described is, in my opinion, more for OS forums for Toshiba forum.

    If you display the same thing in forum Microsoft please post the link, and we can follow the discussion here.

    I wish you good luck and I hope you will find answers soon.

  • Question about Windows Update in Windows 7 links.

    Whenever I have run or click on the links to Windows Update to update my workstation at work I usually click the links on the left under the heading Control Panel home.  When I click on it it says "Windows is up-to-date.

    This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.  My question is, what is the difference between checking the updates link in the Control Panel Home section and check online for updates from Microsoft Update?

    Verification of updates link goes to a SCCM server only?  Just curious.

    Brother and sisters all the place!

    This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.

    After doing the above, you have now "reversed" your source of default update from Windows Update to Microsoft Update.


    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other software from Microsoft, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx

    Translation: Now the automatic updates (and controls running manual updates) will provide updates for Windows and office, Silverlight, Windows Live Essentials, etc..
