Hello

I see that you posted your question on technet as well, this is the right forum for your question type as MS Answers is mostly for the support of 'consumer '.

In any case, this is the information that I could find for you:

If you buy Windows OEM Svr 2012 you can downgrade your OS to 2008 R2 2008.

To downgrade, you have need to acquire Windows Svr 2008 Media and product key. Use the same media install and reach the local MS Activation Center indicating that you want to downgrade Windows Svr 2012 for 2008.

Get a wil representing a help to downgrade it.

  • Windows 7 OEM license, cloned the new hard drive.

    I'm scratching my head on this one.

    I'm running Windows 7 Pro with an OEM license.

    Beyond December, my original hard drive started failing so I made a clone of Clonezilla and transferred to a new hard drive.  Since then, I have not been able to run Windows update and I regularly get a Windows is not real popup.  I checked the section properties and my computer Windows Activation of Windows is enabled.  I tried the site of verification but that sends me to a web page that does not seem to load correctly and 9/10 times.  When I managed to load and I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate tool, it gives me just a Setup 0xC8000247 error.  I tried returning my SLUI 3 product key and everything went through fine.  I checked various websites and people say that it must be good using a new hard drive, others say you can't and others are calling saying Microsoft and speak to someone.

    Can I use my OEM license when transferring to a new hard drive?  Answer, what would be the next step?

    Yes, you can use the same OEM license, because it's the same computer.

    What you need to do is probably performing a new installation. Clone software tends not to provide the best results.

    The old hard drive still works? You might try one last time to create a system image and restore it on the new hard drive:

    How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - books...

    This of course would mean reinstall the old hard drive, create a system image and then restore it on the hard drive.

    Another option is to perform a new installation using the OEM key.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

  • The Dell R710 server upgrade to R2 2012 Windows

    Question for the forum:

    I have a Dell R710 server.  There a PERC 6 / i RAID card in there.  There are discs 5 x 2 TB on the PERC 6 / I configured in RAID-5 right now with the 6th disc as a 480 GB SSD.   I currently own WINDOWS 2012 R2 installed.   Windows 2012 sees the TB 5 x 2 as a 7.27 TB HDD and the 480 GB SSD as a second hard drive.

    I heard the Windows 2012 R2 storage solution is best.  I want to convert the TB 5 x 2 hard drives just so R2 2012 Windows can control it.  I have the following questions:

    1. What do I have to go in PERC 6 / I controller and remove the RAID 5 and create a virtual disk for each 2 TB as a RAID-0 disk drive so that Windows can see each as separate hard drive?

    2. each of the 2 TB is a SATA II drive.  PERC 6 / I can only support up to 2 TB to 3 Gbps.  What is the best way to do it?  Can I upgrade to SATA III drives or 6 Gbps?  This server which will support at all?  I have

    3. If I install a SATA III controller in the PCIe slot, how can I plug SATA III drives to the card.  All drives are connected to the server to forward now.

    4 If a disk fails, Dell R710 will still flash light orange on the forehead to show what defective hard drives?  People still hot to swap the drive?

    5. Windows 2012 R2 will be able to tell what defective hard drives?  With 5 x 2 to for the storage and 480 GB put in place in the SSD for tiered storage, which is the best way to configure it for performance?  Simple volume or mirror?  How many drives can fail until Windows cannot recover from the failure?

    Please advise on the best way to convert more software raid WINDOWS 2012 R2.  Thanks for the help in advance!

    1. This is the only way to make available to Windows as separate disks, as the PERC 6 does not support the RAID/JBOD.

    2. the PERC 6 supports a maximum drive size of 2 TB. The material is limited to 3 Gbps. You can use 6 GB/s drives, but they will operate as discs 3 Gbps.

    3. you will need to connect a cable from the backplane to the new controller, instead of the 6 PERC. Backplane may not support 6 GB/s speed, if you plug a controller 6Gbps 6Gbps drives and they bind upward to 3 Gbps, that is why.

    4. Yes.

    5. Yes. How can fail depends on how you have set it up and how much data is there.

  • Windows 7 OEM license Question

    My brothers and I built a gaming PC, and I have a question of a Windows 7 operating system license, we bought. In 2014, we bought an OEM Windows 7 on Ebay that came as a Dell reinstallation DVD and an OEM unused license key (which worked correctly). We have installed on our PC, but we did not activate the BONE to what we decided to upgrade to windows 10 via free update of Microsoft.

    However, due to the terms of the OEM Windows 7 license, I wonder if it was legal to put our BONES and our key on our PC. Therefore, I have a few questions:

    1 using the OEM key on our legal machine?

    2. have you upgraded to Windows 10 change the legality of our BONES?

    3 Microsoft authorizes the actions that I took to install an OEM operating system, or should I buy a retail OS to be fair to them?

    You noted that you bought a Dell OEM disc reinstall Windows 7.

    This OEM disk is specifically for DELL systems. If it has not been installed on a Dell computer with a sticker accompanying COA with this special edition, the license is non-compliant.

    It is not eligible the system for the free update to Windows 10.

  • How to restore Genuine Windows 7 OEM license on my Lenovo G570?

    I use a laptop Lenovo G570, which was preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Basic Edition.

    Last week one of my friends told me to enter "windows anytime upgrade", a key after entering the key my Windows upgrade install to Windows 7 Ultimate and I was asked to activate windows. The key on the bottom of my laptop does not work after that.

    He then entered another key for activate windows, which I'm sure is not authentic and when I search this key on the web I can find clearly multiple results corresponding to this key.

    The telephone activation process went smoothly with this non-genuine key and to my surprise Windows online validation shows as my Windows genuine, my machine is also fully updated

    I want to return to my home based version by using the key that came with my machine.

    Your only option is to do a system restore. This means that you will have to reinstall applications and hardware drivers.

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often 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.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  • HP ENVY 15-J030TX: no internet driver after windows 8 to upgrade lower windows 7

    I have a HP ENVY15-J030TX that I've recently downgraded to windows 7 Windows 8. I was all excited and ready to finally the computer use, but now I can't connect to internet or he reads all the USB drives.

    What drivers should I do the laptop works again?

    Help, please!

    Use the button at the top of this page titled 'Support', then click on "Download drivers" in the menu. Enter your model number. After you click "Go". On the next page use Option 2 to access the list of drivers. Make sure that Windows 7 is showing that BONE - if not Edit for a change. A list will populate with the drivers/software.

    Your Chipset section is important. Section - network you need Realtek LAN Driver for internet cable and, probably, driver Realtek Wireless wireless. It could be Intel, but first try the Realtek Wireless.

    You can download the drivers on another machine - and burn it to a cd, if your laptop has a cd/dvd drive or save to usb flash drive - you should have 1 usb 2.0 port that works. The other usb 3.0 ports require the driver under chipset. If you can just get the wireless operation, you can return to your support page to install other drivers.

  • HP Envy 15-J112tx upgraded lower Windows 8 for Windows 7

    Hello

    When I went down to win 8.1 for win 7 I noticed there was about 11 problems displayed in Device Manager.  These varied shape and PCI, USB, ethernet network and various others.   NVIDIA said that it could not load until the Intel stuff was loaded first.  It wasn't in DM, it popped up when I tried to load some drivers manually.

    Really, I don't want to guess what is wrong here but may have something to with the equipment set up to win 8 used with win 7 drivers etc?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Concerning

    Hello:

    The pages of HP driver for a large number of 17 and 15 models are not working/lack of driver tabs, lack of drivers for some operating systems.

    HP is aware of the problem and work to solve.

    When the pilot pages come back upward, there should be a W7 x 64 driver for your model option.

    To install the graphics, you will need to install the Intel chipset driver and restart.  Then install the Intel HD graphics driver and restart, then install the driver graphics nvidia and restart.

    If in a few days, is not supported for W7 driver for your model, there will be W7 x 64 drivers for the j100-17 t, which has the same hardware as yours.

    The W7 x 64 drivers are currently missing from this model too.

  • Reinstallation of Windows 7 with OEM license with an OEM license and the manufacturer's warranty expired

    My hard drive starts to die, if I want to backup all my data and be ready in case it fails. One of the things on my list of verification is to ensure that I can reinstall Windows 7 if need be.

    I don't have in my possession a Windows reinstallation disk, so I want to create a USB bootable for windows 7. The link to the .isos DIgital River that I use to create my bootable USB key doesn't work for users with OEM licenses. Very annoying, but I can legally get a Dell reinstall drive instead. But Dell wouldn't send me reinstallation disks because my warranty with Dell expired.

    The result of this is that if your a manufacturer guarantee expired, you can no longer reinstall windows on the same computer!

    Dell says it is responsible for providing the relevant recovery media, including Windows used to do with the Digital River .isos, but who no longer work for people with Microsoft's Windows 7 OEM license. Microsoft says that it is the responsibility of Dell to provide its customers with the recovery media (disks to reinstall windows) in the first place. Personally, I'm not interested in the blame game - I just want to have access to a recovery media so I have the option of legally re - install windows 7 in the future with my OEM license.

    Can you help me with this problem? Thank you.

    Downloads Microsoft removing the Digital River and replacing them with a non-functional tool are extremely boring.

    If you can still start, update Dell backup and restore to the latest version:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=7yOz10Y8GCE

    http://www.Dell.com/support/home/drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=8HY96

    Make a USB (older than 2012 systems) recovery or recovery external hard drive (more recent than 2012 systems):

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=hu6jx-QG7xE

    Boot from it to the new hard drive and use it to reinstall. Recovery media is using earlier versions may not work on the new disks.

  • OEM license key will work with sales facility in retail Windows

    Originally titled: My driver's license - which is preinstalled - will work on a new installation.

    It is a long story.  I have a Sony VPCEB1S0E.  I got a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit preloaded on it.

    Backstory:

    My laptop crashed about 1 year ago.  If a friend of my uncle has reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  Lately, I realized that it is a Windows patched copy.  It does not say it is authentic, but I think that it is loaded with a magazine or something.  I used the command slui.exe 3 and entered my old key for my Home Premium edition.  He said that the key that I entered belonged to another edition of Windows.

    Present:

    So I tried to download an iso. using the new recovery software Page.  However, when I entered my old product key, it displays an error saying:

    Unsupported product

    The product key you have entered seems to be the software that was preinstalled on a device.  Contact the manufacturer of the device for soft recovery options.

    I managed to download an iso of Home Premium. file from a trusted source.

    Main question:

    If I reinstall a new copy of Windows Home Premium, my existing license key will work during installation?

    Yes, the product key will work because it's the right 'Home Premium' edition.
