  • n/a: Windows 7 Home Premium: OEM or not?

    Greetings.

    I installed Windows 7 Home Premium on my desktop computer.

    My key is invalid, because it's installation of 3rd I played with this disc.

    I have 8 days to activate Windows, according to the nag screen that keeps popping up.

    I contacted Microsoft, they told me to buy a 3rd third party provider key.

    I googled "windows 7 Home premium English...» "and had this link:

    http://www.Google.com/aclk?SA=L&AI=CwTqRw_fYVb67BIvapgPfmonAAcuv4-9Bk6m8_pEBqOC7jkQICRABIN7Nzx4oA2DJ...

    My question is this: can I use the activation key that is provided with this download to activate my installed version of Windows 7 Edition Home Premium? What is OEM?

    Thank you.

    If it's legitimate, the key should work.  If the PC on which you try to install had OEM Windows 7 (same version that you have installed the new), it must be able to be activated without buying a new key.  But either way is OK.

    The PC comes with Windows 7 OEM installed should have a COA sticker on it somewhere to manage such reactivation as described in the post.

  • Secondary display flashing/flickering/flashing randomly in Windows 7 Home Premium

    I'm really at a loss on this one.

    I bought recently (like yesterday) a Galaxy GeForce 210 graphics card, purely so I can run my 17 "Dell LCD next to my Samsung 24". I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.

    Everything seemed to work fine - I have installed the card, installed the drivers that came with it (who says are compatible Windows 7) and there we went. The 17 "plugged in VGA and the Samsung in DVI.

    However, after being run for a bit, I started to notice that from time to time (read about once or twice a minute), the Dell would flicker or flash a bit. The best way I can think to describe it is to imagine having the bar about a third of the screen to the Windows taskbar height and then suddenly it shrunk and your graphics card couldn't keep up - so that you get a momentary flash of Black Watch Office. This is what is happening to me.

    It doesn't matter what application is running - or even if no application is running - and I can't reproduce it on demand, although it seems that every time I use the 3D features (e.g. change of task in the card sorting method).  However, I tried the following things:

    1) updated drivers from nVidia.com - now run 8.17.11.9745 - no change

    (2) restarted my machine without the time to make sure that's not the problem - no change

    (3) started my machine in Vista Ultimate 64-bit, charge the same drivers from nVidia - flicker does not seem to happen!

    (4) off the second screen under Windows 7 - the only remaining screen glisten.

    (5) reactivated the second screen - now the Samsung screen is the one doing the flickering. According to how many times I do it, the flickering remains on at least one of the screens.

    (6) have tried what seems like the entire internets! - still can't find a solution!.

    Someone out there you have ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hi thecrane.

    How did set you your additional monitor? Mirrored, extended, only external display

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: change display settings also change color depth then test

     

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/getting-the-best-display-on-your-monitor

    Step 2: Flickering of the Correct monitor (refresh rate)

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/correct-monitor-flicker-refresh-rate

    Try using the display quality problems to solve the problem. It ensures that your video card driver is compatible with Windows 7, and checks to see if your color grading, video effects and the display settings are correct.

  • Activation of Windows 7 Home Premium Retail Version complete

    Nice day...

    I have a question of kwik on my Windows 7 Home Premium Retail Full Version.  I didn't install it since July of 2013.
    I bought it in May 2011, brand new at sears.com. During this period of May 2011 - July 2013, I had it installed
    on, in total, 3 different offices computers (NOT at the same time... Still, I uninstalled Windows 7, as with all Microsoft OSs, before installing it
    on another system).

    In July 2013, I upgraded my motherboard and I had more money I decided to buy another Windows 7
    Home version Premium OEM full for this motherboard.  Yes, for a little over a year, I had a 'spare' Windows 7 Home
    Premium full retail version disk.  I contacted Microsoft support by phone, chat, e-mail, etc. over the past
    year to see if it is genuine.  I have not kept a full track of results, but 'about' just less than
    50% of contacted Microsoft experts say that it is authentic and about a little less than 50% say that it is authentic, BUT it must be
    activated by phone. Unfortunately, some even said that it was genuine and non-genuine and that it is authentic,
    I have to pay about $150 for one year of support.  Who is not called a scam?  The issue is, basically, can I use it

    drive for the full retail Version that I bought it like?

    It works perfectly, the product key is valid, but half Microsoft agents I spoke on this subject, although they all say that it is authentic, the other half say it is valid, but I have to pay a "tax of support" to activate it.

    Have a great day!

    Full retail version

    Can be transferred to any computer and reactivated as long as it is removed from the previous computer, it is installed on.

    OEM System Integrator

    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

    Some people have gotten the reinstalled and reactive without problems, it is just that, regarding the license agreement, his is not consistent.

    As for the authenticity of the it, Yes, its true, how to use it is another matter. As noted by the above rules, if you have been move to different systems and motherboard, it is used in accordance with the license agreement. It does not have the same rights of transfer as the full retail version, you bought originally.

    Another question would be, if these rules are applied? NO.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium 64 SP1 Activation with a non - SP1 product key

    I have a problem of activation Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1 properly installed .iso digital river with the original product key on my laptop.

    -Code error 0xC004E003

    -The original product key isn't for SP1.  Since the Windows label on the laptop is worn out, I can't read, so used a Belarc program to recover the product key.

    -Found an article not far SP1 product key cannot activate SP1 package, unlike a response by a moderator to a similar question.

    -There is an instruction for a telephone activation.  Problem is, to my activation window, no phone option exists.  Only "buy...". ","Enter another... ". «and "Contact Microsoft...» ». Options.  The last option redirect to a Help window, giving no phone number or contact information.

    Given that the HARD drive is formatted and recovery partition is removed, clean install is the only option available at the moment.  What can I do now?

    Mark

    If the computer came with win 7 pre installed the it is OEM.  A touch of detail will not work with OEM.  You must either install the OEM with the original key or the new version with a touch of detail.

    OEM keys are related to the material and any significant hware can launch a pop-up not true reactivation

    There is no hardware changes, since it is a laptop. As I wrote, the COA product key is worn out and unreadable.
    How can I get an OEM version? The recovery partition is gone.

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    -----------------------

    How to reinstall your Express upgrade

    Until you do, what I recommend is, after you did the Express of Home Premium Professional upgrade and activate. You should back up your installation as a system. So when you decide you want to start over, everything you do is restore the system image. This will exempt things as the relocation of the base license, reactivation, redo the Express upgrade, then turn it back on again.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

    The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
     
    An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
     
    What happens if I lose my product key?
     
    If you lose your product key, you can return to

    www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.
     
     
     
    or

    Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
     
    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
     
     
     
    -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
     
    -HP use F9 on most of its systems
     
    -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
     
    -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

    -Dell uses F12
     
     
     
    In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.

    I am trying to upgrade my Satellite M40 (PSM40A - 03 K 009) for Windows 7 Home Premium, but towards the end of the installation, my laptop reboots and freezes you try to start Windows 7.

    I restarted in safe mode, and it seems to get stuck loading \windows\system32\drivers\classpnp.sys.

    I have tried everything I can think: Startup Repair running on the installation disc, install the latest versions of the drivers, update BIOS, disk reformatting, etc, but nothing seems to work.

    Can anyone help?

    See you soon

    Hello Rob

    Please don t get me wrong, but this old notebook was designed for Windows XP Home edition. I imagine that you have problems with the installation of Win7, but I'm afraid that there is not much you can do about it.

    This laptop old models are not supported for Win7 and Toshiba will not offer some updates as the BIOS update. If you want to use the newer operating system probably you must also update your hardware. Maybe it's time for the new laptop computer. ;)

  • 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.

    Here, you could get this disc:

  • HP Pavilion A4310F: Remove Windows 10 and reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium

    I did a full install of Windows 10 yesterday and I did not all records or documents as I saved them to my external hard drive.

    The problem that I ran was that my NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 has no update to win 10 and that it does not appear correctly.

    My computer came with Windows 7 Home premium installed and I have the product key.

    As I installed the full version on Windows 10, I can't get the computer to win 7.

    I don't have a Windows 7 disc, when I bought the computer, so I need to know if I can download a copy of the Windows 7 Home Premium somewhere and use my current product key?

    When the computer is again I did a set of recovery discs and I still have those... I don't know if they can help.

    Any help or advice would be very helpful.  A download link would be useful as well.

    Thank you in advace for your help.  Jim.

    Yes the disks you did will be reinstall W7, disc 1 is bootable, then put it in the drive and restart the PC, when you see the Dell logo ESC key several times, then select your boot (cd-dvd-rom) device, it should now boot from disc 1 and start the recovery process, it is a long process, so be patient and don't do anything unless otherwise , it will restart on its own several times, do not interrupt the process.

    When it is done with the recovery, there will be a screen to start to set up your user name and so on.
