No, you can't upload it.

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  • Windows 7 Professional new hardware Activation error

    Two days ago my computer received a boot error and forced me to restore to an earlier point. Yesterday, I received a Windows activation error telling me "the product key must be enabled with new material. I have not installed new hardware recently and I guess some piece of hardware that caused the system to need of a restoration is either faulty or the rear roller is causing Windows to think that I have installed a new piece. I have the product key and the Original OEM System Builder pack, but entering again into the key of the exact same error recurs immediately.

    I'm not very savvy Windows so that any aid or an idea of where is would be greatly appreciated.

  • replace the RAM, the need to activate Windows 7 OEM new will affect Media Center DRM?

    Title says it all.

    In order to avoid BSOD that * could * be linked to the RAM, I replace two DIMMs with a different model.  When I swapped the locations for the original DIMMs, I received a message stating that the material had changed and I had to re-activate Windows.  That's happened.
    I am now assuming that completely change the RAM will trigger the message "hardware changes took place.  I use this PC as an HTPC with a Ceton InfiniTV 4 tuner card, and I have a lot of copy - once programs and films recording.  I don't want to lose the ability to play them.
    My guess is that the reactivation will not affect the DRM.  It does not seem to have done with the recent reactivation. It's not like it's a new motherboard or system disk, but I would be sure.
    Thank you.

    (1) change of RAM only is unlikely to trigger an activation request - although if other materials also has changes in the recent past, he can do.

    (2) activation and DRM are totally different things, and should not affect the other.

  • Satellite P105-6064: Windows always searches for new hardware, reader of CARDS SD

    When I insert my SD CARD windows search for new hardware, it happened only with the SD CARD, when I use my CARD MMC is not the problem, I have the latest drivers on the site of toshiba and windows XP - SP2

    Hello

    It seems that the Satellite P105-S6064 PSPA0U supports a 5 - in1 bridge media adapter.
    This bridge media adapter supports the shared locations. This means that several types of cards can be used in this slot as a Secure Digital (SD card) card, memory stick, memory stick pro, Multi media (MMC) card and card xD picture card.

    Seems that after the use of different cards, the pilot must be refreshed and so windows search new device.

    In my opinion, there is nothing wrong, but it would be interesting to know if the same thing happens on OS installed since the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    By the way; The Sat 105 seems to be a mobile US and if you need drivers you must search on the Toshiba site we drivers compatible and taken in charge!

  • 0xC004008 error code when you try to activate Windows 7

    I received this error for the 3rd time.  A balloon appears and tells me that I need to activate windows due to a hardware change.  The computer that the copy of windows is currently installed is a home built with an oem version of windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine.  Initial activation went well without any problems.  2nd activation was due to having a "physical" display, but it allowed me to activate via the internet.  3.

  • new hardware computer, but even hard-i discs have to re activate windows! I don't have my product key!

    When corsair came out with their case of 350 d Obsidian decided to move my PC parts to fit the Micro ATX case. I kept the same RAM, CPU, PSU, GPU and my hard drives that contain Windows 7 PRO. Everything worked up to what a few minutes in the PC running. in my toolbar next to the Center, volume and network icons, there was a picture of key (such as the physical keys) by saying that I need to activate windows. I use this drive for almost more than a year and all of a sudden with new parts that I need to activate windows? the only thing I changed was the motherboard!

    I have Microsoft office installed and when I open Office Word the program asked for activation. but all this time, I had to click on a button and activate it with the internet.
    Why the operating system does not require a product key to 'turn on' when I was using the same operating system for centuries?
    I don't have my product key and I want to know if I can "activate" windows without one.
    I see this when I try to activate.
    Then it says this

    "the only thing I changed was the motherboard!

    It is the motherboard which gives a computer it's identity. Essentially, the card mother IS the computer.

    The original installation was probably pre-installed and turn to the original BIOS to check that he was still the same. Now when he checks, he finds a different BIOS.

    Under the terms of the OEM, the operating system cannot be transferred to another computer, which is what you did...

  • My hard drive has left an old system to a new system and now I can not activate Windows.

    Cannot download the drivers to activate Windows

    I spent two days now trying to get a computer at work, I've built. I use new parts other than my used hard drive previously. I was not able to install the drivers for my network so I'm stuck right with the activation screen when I connect. If I do not activate and then I get kicked out and have to log in again. I cannot connect to the network to turn on obviouly and when I call them they say my ID intillation in does not correct and they don't recognize it as a valid product. I then remove my hard drive and put it back in the old machine and as if by magic, it works fine after activation. How am I supposed to install my drivers so I can activate if I can't go to my screen to install? This is the second time that this happens, and I really not prefer to buy a new windows disk for something that already works.

    He was recently a failure on one of the memory on my motherboard slots. The motherboard has been replaced because it was still under warranty. I put the new card of the same mother 2 days ago.

  • Windows license when you copy a disk image to new hardware?

    Hello

    I work for a company that built machines with which we include a Windows 7 PC that is also running MS Office 2010 Professional.  I have create this PC and install / configure Windows, Office, and some 3rd party software.  It is a very time consuming process.

    This PC is absolutely crucial to the functioning of our machines, I want to provide an identically configured spare PC (PC2), which can serve as a backup in case the original PC (PC1) breaks down.  The easiest way for me to do is to copy an image of the disk from PC1 to PC2.

    I gave it a try and it seems to have worked, but when I started to PC2, Windows 7 and Office 2010 appeared as inactivated.  Windows 7 gives me the opportunity to change my product key and activate.  I can do that because I buy a second copy of Windows 7.  It was not as easy to find, but it seems that Office 2010 also gives me the opportunity to enter a new product key (in Control Panel |) Programs | Programs and features, select "Microsoft Office 2010 Professional 2010"by clicking on 'Edit' and finally by selecting 'enter a product key")." "  I can do that as well, because I buy a second copy of Microsoft Office.

    The problem I have is that I'll almost certainly want to try this procedure several times.  I bought two licenses Windows and two licenses of office, but I'm afraid of 'using' all of the activations allowed on these licenses.

    For example, today I did the disk from PC1 imaging procedure to PC2 for the first time.  I want to activate Windows and Office on PC2 and test completely PC2 with our machine before putting in backup storage.

    After having done that, I will continue to make changes to configuration on PC1 as I fine tune my software / settings before you send us the machine.  Before shipping, I want to start the disk from PC1 to PC2 imaging procedure.  Right now, I try to activate the same windows / Office of the licenses for the second time.  I'll be able to do it again?

    After we ship our machine and it is installed to our customer, I continue to refine my software to meet the needs of my clients when they evolve or that we realize things that we can do better.  Any time I do a significant change, I want really to redo the disc imaging procedure and to authorize and to test all software.

    It seems to me I'm coming soon a limit where Microsoft is no longer allow me to activate Windows 7 and Office.

    I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions that could make this task easier for me, without forces me to keep buying new licenses over and over again for the same two PC.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    There are important to keep in mind. If the license you are delivered with one or both of these PC then under the terms of the license agreement, they are not transferable to another PC.

    However, if they are full product licenses purchased boxed separately from the computer in question (and not an OEM pack) then provided they are removed from the original material, then the license can be applied again to a new PC.

    The activation process will be reset if the image has been transferred to a different hardware platform and will happen every time. Automatic same reactivation work at least once, but if it happens too often so you will be asked to call the Activation Center. The fact is that you can only have a license to PC is that you have licenses for.

    The EULA does not take specific account for the same license be installed on a "live" system and a sleep not in use.

  • How can I activate windows on a Dell Latitude 600 with a new CD of xp home?

    My computer crashed. He originally had XP Professional on it, but I bought a new CD which is XP Home. Now he does not accept the product key to activate windows.

    The only way to your key on the Dell (assuming that says Windows XP Pro) will work is if you use a CORRESPONDING installation CD, which means a generic OEM Windows XP Pro CD. You cannot use a XP Pro key with installation of XP Home Media!

    Your best bet is to get a CD of mark Dell XP Pro. And you don't even need to worry about enter a key since Dell uses SLP (System-locked Preinstallation), which means that the activation will have already taken place.
    You might even be able to have Dell send you for a small fee:
