The upgrade of Windows 7 Pro OEM of Windows 7 Ultimate retail

My PC is custom built and delivered with Windows 7 Pro OEM installed.  I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate in order to obtain several language and BitLocker.  I know that in a few months, I'll change this PC motherboard (motherboard).

I know that with the OEM, the product key of Windows 7 license is attached to the motherboard.  So when I change, Win 7 Pro license will be lost.  Since I want to be able to transfer the license of Windows 7 to one MOBO to another, I bought a full commercial version of ultimate.

My question is this.  To upgrade the Pro OEM ultimate retail, it's just a matter of changing the product key on the screen of the system property and the new product key will launch the installation of missing features to Windows 7 Pro?

You must use Anytime Upgrade.

Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, follow the on-screen Wizard, enter the key of Windows 7 ultimate on demand, click on, and then restart your computer when you are prompted. Less than 10 minutes, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and your files and settings retained.

    herbmah,
    If you still experience this issue, then you should try the following.

    Update your drivers for your video and audio.  Ensure that the manufacturer has Windows 7 drivers for your specific hardware.  You may also look for both motherboard chipset drivers.

    If you still have problems after updating all your drivers, then clean restart your PC and test.

  • Presario sr2030nx need drivers after the upgrade to windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

    Presario sr2030nx had xp media center edition, I've updated to win 7ultimate 64 bit. my dvd player says he has a few drivers disabled

    There was a pop up on all drivers must be signed, as an unknown device is lack of both pilots.

    Please help me find a solution, thank you.

    That particual error happens because of pilot missing generally regarded as 'Away Mode Driver'

    Here's what I copied THIS post

    Explanation I understand

    AMD away mode is a measure of the implementation of some energy-saving AMD processors. It is a measure not very well known and the reason the PC is slowly put one out of State a device at the same time leaving a PC race that looks like it is off. Not a very good idea!
    Drivers were provided by a card mother manufacturers were also built in Vista, they are not provided with Windows 7 x 64 and as I already mentioned Gigabyte.
    No no not this driver does not affect the performance of the PC

  • Cannot connect to internet after a reboot before you uninstall and then reinstall the network card. (After the upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista)

    This problem started immediately after the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) to Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit).  Again, I want to remind that I never had this problem before installing Windows 7.

    -After a reboot, I am presented with the impossible to connect the network indicator (yellow triangle with!) in the task bar.  (It was how I was welcomed after the installation of Windows 7 is said by the way).

    -The only way I found to regain connectivity is to uninstall and reinstall the network via the device manager card, date at which the computer always successfully connects and remains connected until the next reboot.

    Network card: Realtek RTL8168C (P) / 811C (P) Family PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)

  • Re-install Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hello

    I bought this computer 4 years ago, it came with Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) preinstalled. About a year and a half later, I bought the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. Well well, long story short, I messed around with some settings (without a saved image), and I am looking to re - install.

    Now, here's my question. The key of Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade will still be usable once I re - install Windows 7? And if not, will the OEM keys still work?

    The two keys are still usable.

    If you have the DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate, you could install using this tutorial.

  • Random Blue Screen Of Death after upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    I was running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit for many years without any serious problem. After the upgrade to Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit I was prey to a BSOD random. Sometimes I can get several BSOD in one day. Sometimes I could get any same-day heavy after multitasking.  The BSOD may occur during any task or when I try to quit. I have the latest drivers and BIOS. I disconnected all my equipment and refurbished it. I used the diagnostic tools to test my memory 4G and my Seagate 1 t SSHD hybrid and they passed. I changed the sata connection cable my HD to the MB. I did a Windows repair (scannow) and also done a repair install and it did not help. Although these questions is past the BSOD after upgrade to Win 7 64 bit, that I suspect may not be associated with Win 64 bit but could be hardware related. Any help to solve this issue will be appreciated.

    Kind regards

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium: Tray Lock worked until the upgrade of Windows 10

    Since a year now, I have 1 locked drawer for our book of receipt only, easier than all the other printing set to automatically select the default tray to tray 2 (Tray 1 is locked and all)! But I tried the upgrade of Windows 10, that was an epic fail and my cpomputer was sent to the doctor for the day. When I came back I had to basically start over with a new computer. I have everything back to be better than before, but THIS problem! Receipts in Tray 1 and my payment software its configured for Tray 1 specifically for receipts. All other default things that select and always tray 2. I can't anything out of tray 1. HOWEVER, my boss's computer is on a network with it and when it prints a receipt from his computer he properly dispences Tray 1. Yet.

    Help! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

    Lacey!

    Hi @L2thaJ,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are unable to print correctly on tray 1 on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-all-in-one printer. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    Is the other computer Windows 10 institutions, who works for printing on tray 1?

    It looks like Windows 10 and the software you are using does not work with the printer driver, what might happen.

    You are able to print to Tray 1, when printing from MS Word or Notepad?

    Please ensure that you use the latest printer driver for your printer.

    Download and run The printer Installation Wizard. The HP printer installation wizard detects automatically the best print available for your HP printer driver. It is only available for Windows 7, 8 and 10.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

  • I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building?

    I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.

    Hello

    OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

    An OEM license is not transferable.

    And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

    There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

    You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.

    See you soon.

  • The upgrade of Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows pro

    When upgrading windows 8 on a newly purchased computer, can I switch to Windows Pro 8.1 without first update for Windows 8.1.  I would like to skip the step of the upgrade to windows 8.1.  Thanks for your help.

    Here's the answer to your question from the research I've done. The upgrade to 8.0 8.1 is free. All you have to do is to ensure that all the required updates for your computer is done first. In my opinion, 8.1 is easier to use and I like it better than 8.0. However, an upgrade to 8.1 pro must be purchased and you can only go to pro 8.1 platform after the first passage at 8.1. If you need you can connect to an area of work or school, you will need to get 8.1 pro because you can not do 8.1. I hope this helps!

  • Wizard upgrade said platform not supported on the upgrade of windows 8 on xp pro 32 market sp 3

    Hi all, it drives me crazy.

    A month ago I went to install the upgrade of windows 8 on my current xp pro, at that time, put assistant level said no problem, I downloaded (and paid) the upgrade and then everything went to hell.  I ended up having to clean my original xp install to get the computer back in working order.
    Now, I decided to try again with the update (using the same product key, I tried to install with last month) so I went back to my email, write down the product key and click the link to download it again, but this time he wont even let me try.  As soon as the implementation or the Upgrade Wizard works, I immediately the message that "this platform is not supported" and that's what I get.
    As I said, I'm running a clean version of Windows XP Pro 32 with SP 3.  Any advice would be most appreciated.  Thank you very much.

    I just checked the BIOS settings and the XD card was already activated.

    The first time I started the upgrade wizard, which told me that I could indeed be upgraded, then I downloaded the upgrade and installed it.  I had some problems with the download, but nothing that was not easy to fix (I honestly don't remember exactly what the problem was).  Once the installation was apparent complete, I rebooted the computer when you are prompted and I got an error message that the installation has failed and then told me that the computer would come back on my original os.  After a few moments, I received a message that the computer failed to return to the operating system, and the computer restarted and gave me the option to boot windows 8 or windows xp.  I have tried both and neither is feasible.  After trying both, I got a new screen that says my computer need of repair.  I then re installed xp, clean boot from the floppy disk to return back at the beginning and have a computer working again. After all that, I reinstalled all the necessary updates and realized when I tried the original installation, I did turn sp2, but not sp 3 so this time I made sure to get that taken care of first.  And now, well you know where I am now!
    Thank you
