• Windows 7 OEM on the new motherboard

  I own and Compaq Presario SG3-130UK and have recently bought a new motherboard (to add more components).

  I currently have Windows 7 Home Premium OA, and I was wondering when I put in my new motherboard, the copy of windows remains the same? Or I have to buy a new copy? And if you buy a new copy, all my files and programs will remain the same?

  Thank you very much.

  Yes, that's what I was afraid of.

  Your new motherboard is too different to use the configuration on your hard drive to boot.

  You will need to do a clean install of Windows 7 and reinstall all your programs and files.

• Microsoft cares if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard?

  I am building a newish computer; Microsoft cares any longer, if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard? All of the previous answers to this question are all about 2011 are resolutely "affirmative", they care. I know that Microsoft has had a change of heart (at least I think) regarding their operating system. With the upcoming free update, I was hoping I could recycle my Windows 7 64 bit, an increase in the time up to 10 comes out.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I did a clean on my SSD installation as a bunch of files in Windows 10 has been corrupted, and I couldn't do a clean reset, so I formatted my SSD. I have Windows 7 OEM, and knowing that it can be reused as long as the configuration of the computer has the same motherboard, I re-installed. However, the activation of Windows that I don't have a valid key, despite the same motherboard, etc. None of my hardware has been replaced. I tried to do the activation of the voice, but even that said my key was invalid.

  Is someone able to explain to me why it doesn't work? I looked all over the internet for an answer, and where few have come closer, no have entirely been able to help me.

  Thanks in advance.

• Cannot re - install windows 7 after installing the new motherboard

  I have a desktop HP, circa 2010, running Windows 7. It it a machine of HP brand with a product windows key that is related to specific hardware when I bought it. The motherboard died last week and the original is not available any more, so I had to install a motherboard ASUS. The PC starts fine until windows recognizes that this is a different material. The system restore fails also in the same Manor.

  Finally, I will restore this original sate is that it works even fines, it is a quad core with 8 GB memory and always runs fast. I have a new SSD drive I want to swap in and upgrade to Windows 10 after I return to a good state.

  I tried to install windows 7 from scratch for the new SSD, but I can't because the product key is a marked HP one and Microsoft does not accept it.

  Is it possible for me to get Microsoft to give me a new key proeduct, after all that I feel that I own this copy of windows and I have the right to re - install windows

  Any suggestions other than buying a new copy of windows is appreciated.

  Thank your for the answers. It looks like another office of Linux for me. Interesting to note that when I did a clean install of Windows 7 original Activation of Windows code on the side of the case worked well.

  You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.

  1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
  you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
  you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
  a copy (or a license) for each computer.

  There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
  effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

  2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
  the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
  computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
  OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
  It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
  computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer).

  Can I purchase/use a Windows 7 OEM on a new computer laptop with FreeDOS?

  If, therefore, in case I ever need to reinstall (on the same laptop, no change of motherboard), can be reinstalled/reactivated as usual without having to call Microsoft?

  If you buy from a seller valid an OEM version, and assuming that the manufacturer of your laptop provides drivers win7 for the appropriate bit of victory version, there is no problem.

  If you need to reinstall you may need to use the phone activation

• Transfer by car to the new motherboard with OEM wind 7 on it

  So a few days ago, I asked a similar question, but I think I found a method more efficient and I was wondering if it was possible.
  My father and I built a 2nd computer and bought another copy of OEM Windows 7 HP 64 - Bit SP1, which is the same operating system on my current computer. This new computer has specifications of superior material, including the motherboard, so I would like to transfer my drive with my OS on it to this new card a mother. Since the product key binds to the motherboard, it would be possible to ask Microsoft to temporarily remove my product key of my current motherboard (without uninstalling my OS with all my files and applications on it), so I can transfer this SSD with my OS on it to the new motherboard and then pass the product keys?
  We will always keeping this former/current computer and so I would be to reinstall the original product key to my original motherboard.
  Thank you

  When the disc authentication fails in the new PC with the old key, right click on computer and select Properties.

  At the bottom of the screen properties, it must give the authentication status and because he missed one of the options would be to get a new key. If this fails, you may need to call. This is the 1st time you used this key so should work

  There is no process to allow off-a key, when you come to install Windows on the old computer go through the process of normal authentication that will probably succeed. Only if you have reinstalled Windows on this computer with the same key too often and, recently, it fails and you must call the authentication Center. If you have both connected do not all selections and waiting and an operator should come online.

  I need to change my system & the procedure required to transfer my software registered in the new system

  Hello mohan,.

  You cannot transfer windows & other software in the new system of old...

  In my view, it is possible to copy some software only...

  If you want your old software listed, I think that it is preferable to use to use your old hard drive in your new system... If you need more space, you can also lly add another hard drive to your new system...
