Upgrading English W7HP to ultimate with Japanese OEM upgrade disc?

• Can't type correctly with Japanese IME on the English English keyboard/windows 7

  Hello, I have a problem with Windows 7 Home Premium English on the English keyboard when entering Japanese with IME.

  No, I shouldn't need the Ultimate edition: with Windows Vista and XP Home Edition Premium or equivalent editions, it was not a problem.

  With Windows 7 IME, the keyboard seems to be linked to the Japanese keyboard.
  For example, if you type [Shift] + [2].
  -English keyboard return [@]
  -Japanese keyboard return [""] (double quote)

  I physically have an English keyboard with my PC, and I get ["] when I actually meant to type [@].

  As I mentioned, it was perfectly fine with XP or Vista, type with Japanese IME and the English keyboard layout. How to make the setting even with Windows 7?

  Here's how I solved the problem, but I do recommend not really - MS should distribute a fix to fix.

  1. open the registry editor.

  2. go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\i8042prt\Parameters

  3. change the value of LayerDriver JPN kbd101.dll to kbd106.dll

  4. change the value of OverrideKeyboardIdentifier from PCAT_106KEY to PCAT_101KEY

  5 change the value from 2 to 0 OverrideKeyboardSubtype

  6. close the registry editor and restart Windows.

• HP Pavilion DV3 - 4031TX Windows 7 32-bit upgrade to 64-bit with the OEM installation?

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv3-4031TX that came with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit OEM preloaded.

  I want to move to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

  I have run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and confirmed that my hardware is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit.

  I don't mind doing a clean install.

  I have my product key OEM with me, but no disc (BONE came preloaded).

  Is it possible to switch to 64-bit by doing a system recovery?  If Yes, where can I change the installation options? (as clicking 'Custom' instead of 'Upgrade' in the retail version Installer)

  I'm not sure if the OEM installer comes with this option.  Can someone tell me? (screenshots will be appreciated)

  Another question, if the OEM Setup program does not come with 64 bit and I have to clean install the retail version, my OEM product key will work?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  No, this is going to work. You definitely need DVD setup and key in your work of peut of the machine. Hope this helps (burn to DVD and use it to install):

• Reinstall Windows 7 on hard drive again with only the Win 7 Upgrade disc?

  So I have an e9180t which, like clockwork, freezes after about an hour or two after the boot.  I thought it might be the curse of bad mothers, with what they came, but I hope that it is something else so test everything I can.  I noticed that it does not freeze upwards when it is started in safe mode with network.  The hard drive failed the test SMART so I wonder if it's time to replace it as if that has anything to do with the crash.   I can move the cursor, but no applications will be open and eventually everything becomes insensitive causing be tohit the power button to restart.   I already stopped unnecessary startup programs and it will still freeze in unsafe mode.

  The PC came with Vista and I think it's what's on backup hard disk partition.  I have the disk Win 7 Upgrade from HP.  My questons are-

  1. If I buy a new HD 7 upgrade disc will be enough to install the full version of Win 7?

  2. anything else I should do when I install the new HD and more to reactivate Windows?

  Thank you.

  Hi Mike,.

  Have you created a HP recovery disk to reinstall the factory image when replacing the HARD drive?

  It sounds like you have maybe a problem creating the recovery discs now.

  A Smart HARD drive test failure points to a HDD failure. The symptoms you are experiencing are likely caused by this fact. You can also have a card mother or any other hardware problem.

  You have the key to drive and Win 7 Upgrade product.

  I'm pretty sure that the upgrade to Windows 7 to be launched from Win Vista. The upgrade of Windows 7 is a full installation of Windows, so this isn't the problem. But he can't run the installation unless you start the upgrade in Win Vista. Normally, an upgrade to Windows 7 is launched within the current operating system, Win 7 valid existence of an eligible OS Setup and then request a restart to complete the installation of upgrade.

  You can replace the HARD drive and try to install Win 7 itself. If this fails and you do not have the Vista recovery discs, you can buy an HP recovery disc set here. There are three different versions. Select one that corresponds to the operating system that is installed at the factory.

  You may have another problem to replace the HDD with a Format HDD advanced most recent. Please see thisHP Supportdocument for more information.

  If you cannot install the upgrade Windows 7 itself or Win Vista because of the issue of the Advanced Format HARD drive, you may need to purchase a copy of Windows 7 OEM.

• I can't activate a VM XP, I have a VLK license but the machine has been built with an oem license.

  I can not activate a virtual XP machine.  the virtual machine is a clone of a pc that has since been erased.  the original machine was probably activated with an OEM key.  I tried activating by phone and putting our license key of Volume without success.

  I would be grateful for any suggestion.

  Thank you very much

  Heh!

  The key to the report is an OEM_SLP key, rather than a Volume key-

  The key of COA_SLP supplied with the original computer cannot be used to enable this virtual machine either, because he reuires to use on the original material.

  You can not use a license upgrade for the virtual machine, because there is no base license - so you are limited by the terms of the Windows license using a retail for Pro license, and then upgrade which (if necessary).

  The key here is most likely another valid - but installation is almost certainly classified as non-authentique, due to the presence of the multitude of the OEM.s in the BIOS - unless you use XP Mode in a Win7 machine

• Windows vista ultimate 32 bit OEM

  I am wanting to install vista ultimate 32 bit OEM on my pc that I screwed up the download of Windows 7 beta.

Could someone tell me if this is correct?

  Seansnr

  Hi Seansnr,

  First of all, if you buy a copy of Windows Vista OEM, make sure that the DVD is the company that allows a computer.  An OEM Dell DVD won't work on a HP or gateway and vice versa.

  Personally, if I had to buy it I insist on a DVD and not from someone who says they can install for a fee, and then provide would not buy any media where you will need to re - install in the future.

  You could also buy a copy of the sale at retail of Windows Vista, or order an OEM DVD from the manufacturer of your computer.  They can also provide one for a low cost, if it wasn't origionally came with the computer.

  If you are interested in a copy retail, they may be ordered and even downloaded directly from Microsoft.

• Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit (OEM version) 0xc004f050 error code.

  I have a machine running Vista ultimate 32 bit and decided to add it to windows 7 ultimate 64-bit (OEM) using a new hard drive with the operating system so that I can dual boot drive (or OS).

  I did this so that I could benefit from 8 GB of installed RAM, of which only 64-bit acknowledges.

  The first instalation of Win.7 was bugged with accidents frequent 'blue screen' and programs no longer responds. All updates have been installed, but I was not happy with the performance and decided to do a clean reinstall.

  I formatted the disk and progressed to reinstal win.7.
  The problem started when I had to activate the registration key; -a code 0xC004f050 appears with the comment that the product key is not valid.

  I then tried the phone option, a somewhat laborious procedure of type a string of numbers to validate. This has not worked, although I checked the numbers were correct. The call was redirected to someone somewhere in India, judging from the accent, which gave me a new registration key.
  Needless to say that this new key did not work either, with the same result as the original.

  I phoned a 2nd time to inform them that the key did not work and have now been achieved here for assistance.

  Help, please...

• Impossible to upgrade to windows vista ultimate from vista home Basic using the upgrade disc

  I bought a disc "to upgrade use only" Windows Vista Ultimate at my University and tried to upgrade my current version of Windows (Vista Home Basic).

  At the stage where I had to select the 'Upgrade' or 'Custom' installation option, I noticed that the interface was telling me, 'Upgrade Disabled"with a message that has been along the line"this version of windows is already installed and cannot be upgraded."
  I know that the upgrade disc was probably intended for the upgrade from an earlier version of Windows like XP, but I assumed that because Microsoft also sells discs "Anytime Upgrade" to do exactly what I'm trying to accomplish this I would have had no problem.
  For any help or suggestion that contact would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you in advance.

  It's all about Service Pack.
  We don't know what you have.

  If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
  You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

  In this case, your upgrade disk has NO Service Pack installed with it.

  Take it back to the University, if you cannot uninstall SP1 operating system.

  See you soon... Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

• Sales to RETAIL Windows 7 with key OEM activate after replacing the motherboard in a laptop?

  Hello

  The motherboard of my HP laptop is dead and I replaced it.

  I want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium on it, and I deleted the recovery partition (I know, I shouldn't, but it's done and there's no going back)

  Can I borrow a friend (RETAIL) Windows 7 Home Premium disc and activate Windows 7 with my OEM key that is printed on the COA label in the battery bay? I've never used the key again, Windows has already been activated when I bought the laptop, and it's the first time I reinstall. I downloaded all the drivers on the HP support site and saved on a USB key with a view of the reinstall.

  However, I don't see an option to download Windows 7 OEM.

  The motherboard has been replaced by official website HP tech support, I guess it is the same model that came with the laptop?

  Yes, you can use this DVD Windows 7 Home Premium retail because it was Home Premium you had before.  If you have 64-bit Windows 7 before, then you want the 64 bit DVD.  If you have 32 bit Windows 7 before, then you want the 32 bit DVD.  If you have 64-bit Windows 7 before, then you can use the 32-bit DVD if you have no choice and you may never notice the difference.

  When you get to step installation product key, it can be easier to choose the activate later option.

  When it's over, then activate via the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, as applicable], page system.  Falling down and it should then give you instructions to contact for activation of the phone.  If there is no problem with that, you can also get to the activation of the phone by typing slui 4 [not only slui but slui 4] in your Start menu search and then following that area through to get the phone number for your region.

  When you call, you will get an automatic response with the choice to make.  You can hang without make any choices at all and you will possibly connected to a human operator.

  When you talk to them, don't forget to explain that the motherboard has failed and has been replaced by the same type of motherboard as something akin to a motherboard upgrade would be ineligible for activation.

• How can I clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using a upgrade disc?

  Originally, I had a Windows Vista 64 - bit o/s office.

  I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit o/s

  The first time I ran this 'upgrade', I made the mistake of selecting the option UPGRADE instead of using the CUSTOM option.

  For some time since I've done the 'upgrade' I got BSOD problems including caused by video and WebCam drivers.

  This is why last week, I took the plunge and decided to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using my UPGRADE disc (the disc is not FULL version)

  I selected CUSTOM

  I saw, I had two partitions:

  Disk 0 Partition 1: Win_RE

  Disk 0 Partition 2: CDrive (c :))

  I couldn't find an option to delete my partitions and perform a new installation.

  I ran this and finished installing fine but did not format my drive and it change named my windows to windows.old. Things seem to be ok on my PC, now that I've done this, and I don't take BSoD right now.

  However, I was told that I should be able to achieve a COMPLETE clean install delete partitions to force the OS to reformat and recreate the C: partition.

  The menu:

  Discount

  Load the driver (I have no idea what is this option)

  To make changes to partitions, restart Windows from the installation disc

  I could not click on an option to delete/reformat my partitions and thus abandoned the process.

  I then let the disc (forgive my ignorance) and restarted the PC. I dropped in the BIOS and set to boot from the DVD drive.

  This did not do anything to bring up the WINDOWS SETUP option. It would simply start Windows after that, I suspect, he couldn't find the exe file to start.

  Thus, while everything seems to work fine, I'm frustrated that I can't run a clean full install like what I'm doing doesn't work.

  If someone is able to give me advice on how I can get the installation routine to show this option which would be more useful.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
