Updated motherboard, switching to home premium oem in professional detail.

Similar Questions

• I want to improve my motherboard. I have Windows 7 Home Premium OEM set level to professionals.

  I bought the parts to make my first computer from Newegg about 8 months ago. This figure includes Windows 7 Home Premium OEM. I had to move on to professional for my school.

  Now my motherboard (out of warranty) became lethargic and I'll upgrade. But I was told that I have to play for Windows AGAIN.
  That's what I've collected questions on this site, even the thought of service Windows (in India) told me that I would have NO PROBLEM spending these two licenses to my new motherboard.
  I have already sunk $180 in this product. VERY well, I'm hoping not to have to reinvest to solve a simple problem.
  Any help is appreciated.

• The Windows Home Premium OEM for Windows Professional upgrade

  Normally, I go with the professional version of Windows.  After checking the differences between Windows 7 Edition Home Premium and professional, it appeared the only features I'd lose with Home Premium vs professional would be Bitlocker XP compatibility and the ability to join a domain.  I installed Home Premium 64 bit and it works fine.

  I recently updated my Acronis True Image backup software for the 2011 version.  This software is not particularly concerned for Windows 7 and it really don't like NAS devices.  A backup of maybe 10 gig of the NAS can take a day, if it is completed, and restores files are not reliable.  I decided sync critical files to the NAS to a local drive, where they could be saved easily.

  After much pulling hair I have determined that the file sync feature is missing in the Home Premium, as confirmed in several forums, including this one.  The lack of this feature is not mentioned in most graphic comparison of Microsoft, including a detailed version comparison matrix I found on this forum.

  Sync Center option is present in the Home Premium version, however, it does not allow the implementation of a "sync partnership.  It won't let me map a network drive, my local machine, but I already did.  lt is a version update is in order.

  It seems not be a cost-effective way for the owner of OEM upgrade to professional or ultimate edition.  Anyone with a computer bought in a retail store or a system integrator, likely an OEM license.  Him 'anytime upgrade' professional costs $90 while the ultimate load of $140.

  It's quite a chunk of change, especially for a story that should have been there all along and the absence of which is never mentioned by Microsoft.  I paid $110 for Home Premium OEM.  The Professional OEM version would cost $149.  If I had to do the upgrade anytime I would have to pay almost what I paid for the operating system and I will be stuck with an OEM version that cannot be moved to another system.

  Microsoft has a method to upgrade from OEM versions at a reasonable cost?  If I buy the $90 total time to upgrade that will the license be moved to another system if it loses their motherboard?

  Just to clarify, Bitlocker is available only in the enterprise and Ultimate editions.

  Not available in home edition Premium Windows 7 Professional features:

  -Domain join

  -Remote Desktop

  -Network backup

  -Encryption of system folders

  -Group Policy

  -Support up to 192 GB of RAM (64-bit version only)

  -Peer to peer support for up to 10 machines

  Microsoft has a method to upgrade from OEM versions at a reasonable cost?

  You have almost used up all available channels. The most effective being Anytime Upgrade.

  If I buy the $90 total time to upgrade that will the license be moved to another system if it loses their motherboard?

  You can transfer the license to another computer running Home Premium, but you can't move your OEM Home Premium license.

• Cannot switch to WIN7 Home Premium to WIN7 Professional

  All trying to solve a problem with Windows Update will not download updates, I fear that a cleaner spyware I used at the time, this problem occurred firstly has deleted some registry information (and I thought that that may have caused problems with Windows Update), so I decided to try upgrading my Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional (64 bit).  I have the DVD upgrade, because a year or two ago I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 from Windows XP.  When this desktop computer began to die a slow death, I uninstalled Windows of the player and the computer put on the scrap heap.  With this update has been successfully uninstalled, I thought that I could use it to upgrade my Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM came on my laptop which I use exclusively now), but when I tried, installing told me I could do only either a "custom installation" that would have wiped out any and all other programs and files on the laptop , or use the Express upgrade.  When I tried the Express upgrade, he initially asked me my product key I then typed in and validity verified, began the upgrade process and then told me that he could not put to Home Premium upgrade to the professional version, even if also seem to indicate that he might.  Maybe that's a problem with my Windows 7 Upgrade DVD that was used before and the product key being somehow in the system as "being used?"  If so, what are my options?

  It fails to format the selected partition.  ATP, he did the system disk 0 partition 1 100.0 mb; disk 0 partition 2 128.0 MB MSR (reserved); disk 0 partition 3 1862.8 GB primary... This last partition is where he tries to install Windows 7 Home Premium OEM (new drive through Newegg). I searched far and you have:

  * check the cable SATA and know if it is in place or not

  * changed to another SATA cable in the case where it was defective

  * verified with diskpart to see that the disk is TPG, is apparently (had implicit message was MBR, it uses diskpart to TPG)

  We are puzzled at the present time.  Any help to know why does move not Windows 7 would be appreciated. Any questions, just ask. Thank you!

  Original title: son is building a game system, new everything. When you are ready to install windows 7 Home Premium oem bought, continue us to get error 0 x 80070057.

  Delete all partitions/volumes on the drive # (ex: disk 0) that you want to install Windows 7 as UEFI system on until # shows like unallocated disk space.

  When you are finished, click on/tap on New, apply (for the size of the disk) and OK.

  You'll notice that the drive has now been formatted as GPT with 3 partitions. Select the "Primary" 3 partitionand click/click on Next.

  NOTE: You may receive a warning "Windows can not be installed on disk 0" , but also long as you can click on the button Next , you're fine.

  Note: The 3 partitions are:

  • Partition 1 EFI partition - System - system that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are required to start the system, such as drivers.
  • Partition 2 - MSR - partition MSR (Microsoft Reserved) that reserves a space on each hard drive for subsequent use by operating system software.
  • Partition 3 - primary - where Windows will be installed to.

    It is imperative that these 3 partitions remain in the exact order as they are

  That's all.

• Limitations of re-Activation of Windows 7 Home Premium OEM

  I think about building a new PC Core i7 and Windows 7 Home Premium OEM license purchase. I understand that in the future, if I make significant material changes, such as the replacement of the motherboard or the CPU, I re - activate Windows 7.

  My questions are:
  1 - How many times can I re - activate Windows 7 Home Premium OEM as long as I install it on one PC?
  2 are there limitations to the activation of the operating system, as the replacement of the motherboard, processor and hard drive at the same time?

  Thank you!

  1. If you change the motherboard, it invalidates the OEM licensing all together.
  -OEM versions allow all upgrades of equipment with the exception of a upgrade to a different model motherboard
  The license is linked to the motherboard when its installed and active.

  2. by phone, then upgrade with wisdom.

  Yes.

  You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk

  Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...

  Try to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade online: newegg, amazon, etc.

  Alternatively, try your local computer store.

• Windows 7 Home Premium OEM or RETAIL "ISO" official "VERSION must download link

  I lost my installation of Windows 7 OEM disk but have the product key.  Where can I find the official Microsoft page to download the ISO of Windows 7 Home Premium OEM files or the "retail" version

  Would be grateful if someone could send me the download link for windows 7 "RETAIL VERSION" (Home Premium). Thank you

  Note: Tried to download the copy of the page of recovery of Microsofts software, but he said "to join the manufacturing of PC if you have an OEM key.

  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:
