Upgrades of license for Windows XP, Vista, 7

I try to help someone who has a network of field and some problems.  I discovered that computers who have problems the more welcome editions of Microsoft Windows.  I would like to join these computers to the domain, I know cannot be done with the Home editions.  XP Home Edition computers do not have enough material to run Windows 7.  Replace computers is not an option.

There are:

2 - Windows XP Home Edition computers I want to upgrade to Windows XP Pro.

1 - Windows Vista Home computers I want to upgrade to Vista Business.

4 - Windows 7 family computers I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro

Should what license I buy?

Suggestions are welcome.

Unfortunately, Microsoft does not offer more licenses Windows XP or Windows Vista.  It would be wise to invest in new computers with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed.  Examples

You can make a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade by buying a Windows Anytime Upgrade: Windows 7 Home Premium to professional for each computer running Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Original title: Windows 7 license

    Product keys are not sold separately, but you can buy a license for sale at retail and use the packaging product key:

    Microsoft is no longer at the price of Windows 7 because it ended sales in October 2013, so you will have to turn to third party providers who might still have in stock. Please note, due to demand and scarcity, there could be no available retail license and you may have to settle for licenses OEM System Builder, which are just as effective but come with license restrictions (which to be honest, are not a lot of weight, given that all future versions of Windows are full anyway (Windows 8.1 and later) versions. Please note that you must purchase the corresponding edition that corresponds with the drive you have:

  • Portege R500 - Toshiba does sell OEM licenses for Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP.
    I have now installed a version of Windows 7 without activation to see if all the drivers are working (Windows 8 is not supported I know).

    Everything looks good and Windows tells me now as planned, it is not authentic and propose to buy the license, but when I go to MS it fails (it seems that MS sells not more Windows 7).

    Toshiba sells licenses for Windows 7 for a R500 OEM?

    It would be a shame to throw it away because of this.

    Thank you
    Markus

    All you can do is to order a Toshiba Recovery disk.
    The recovery disc contains exactly the same operating system that was preinstalled on the laptop on the first day of purchase.

    In your case, this means that you will get the recovery with Win XP OS disk.

    As Timox said: If you want to use the other system than Win XP, you must purchase the Microsoft operating system.

  • I am considering upgrading my laptop for Windows 8. What can I expect if I do this?

    You may want to consider upgrading your laptop for Windows 8, but don't know what to expect or if it is compatible or not.

    If you are in this category, then you will find this site useful.

    It will give an idea of what to expect with possible isuses and a link to a tool for verification of compatibility at the bottom.

    Blink on following: HP has tested my computer with Windows 8? at the bottom of the site and enter your product number.  This will tell if the system has been tested for Windows 8, and if he can or can not get updates driver and software Windows 8.

    I hope that the site will help those who are considering upgrading to Windows 8.

  • I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    Windows has no

    I had to spend my PC this morning. Moving it, I decided to implement a new network card. When I reconnected it all the cables, I plugged my USB mouse on another USB port where it had been plugged in before. The computer is more than 7 years old and I've never had a problem with the front Windows Validation. I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    When Windows checks to see if you have moved your copy of Windows to "another computer", among other things, that his focus on the identification of several strands of material in the computer to see if they are different than when Windows was first installed.  I do not remember the list for now, but I remember that the network card is one of the pieces - and IIRC it is 'valuable' higher than others to reach the conclusion.

    You probably other elements has changed over the past seven years and now Windows has decided to have a "new" computer  Assuming that you haven't changed the motherboard - if you had, you would have had this issue at the time wherever you did--your installation is still legal.  Reactivate using your original license key. It should work online, but you will need to call the number that appears in the error message from re - validate.

  • Install windows 7 on a new pc and upgrade another pc with windows 7 vista.

    What do need me to make this work... I just built a new pc with no OS installed, so I want to install Win 7 on the new pc, but also upgrade my old pc which is running Vista (pre-installed PC on when bought) without having to buy two different copies of Win 7.  Is this possible?

    Laughing out loud

    You need 2 Windows 7 licenses to make 2 sets.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    You need: a FULL license and a license upgrade.
