• The original OEM product key allows you to move from a 32-bit Vista Ultimate installation to a Vista Ultimate 64-bit installation.

  The product key OEM genuine original of my software to 32-bit with service pack 1 (that I bought and installed on my computer) allows to switch from a 32-bit Vista Ultimate installation to a 64-bit Vista Ultimate installation on the same computer without changing the motherboard?

  I would use a replacement disc from Microsoft 64-bit including Service Pack 2 as complete a reinstall? Microsoft 64-bit replacement drive has been obtained from Microsoft with the 32-bit version (which is currently installed) after some intractable problems found by the Microsoft Tech support in my OEM 32-bit software with service pack 1.

  I'll be able to do an online activation?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You should check with Support to be sure. Normally the 32-bit and 64-bit key can
  be used on the same system. Of course, you need to install the 64 who will wipe away
  the installation of 32-bit. The key you should however work to check better
  with that which supplied the disc. The manufacturer of your system can also provide input.

  I hope this helps.

• Licensing of Vista OEM 3pk

  Hello, I bought windows vista OEM 3pk for my new computer several years ago. It was my understanding that I could use this activation code on 3 computers I have built/bought. I currently installed on my main desktop I built and sold this product windows for. Then I used the product key to upgrade my secondary office (which I also built) of XP. I have reinstall windows on my main desktop following some corrupted install video card, but since the motherboard drivers and the internals are the same (except for a video card I DGAR but it's the same brand/model etc) I understand that this does not count as another separate installation. Recently, HARD drive of my secondary office failed and I bought a * computer, ZBOX and Vista installed on this computer as well. However, the activation on the ZBOX will not move forward. It is the third computer on which I have installed vista. I tried online and phone activation. Upon activation of the phone talker asked me how many computers, I installed this version of vista on and I replied "two" and tried again with "three". The talker has informed me that all product licenses have been used and I need to buy a new product ID. How should I proceed? Thanks, Bragaul

  I was able to solve this problem by contacting the Activation Center. I had tried twice before, but the key did not say anything to the talker and wait that it transfer me to a CSR.

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• I reinstalled Vista on my old compaq with a cd of vista OEM, my friend gave me and I can't get Vista to activate now.

  I reinstalled Vista on my old compaq with a cd of vista OEM, my friend gave me and I can't get Vista to activate now. I understand that the original CD would have been pre-activated and this one isn't. I don't have the original disks and the computer did not have a recovery partition. I used an original cd of OEM Vista Home Premium x 64 make the re - install. When I try to activate windows, there is no option to not activate by phone and when I try to change the key he said is not a valid Vista key, if it is the original on the case. I tried to use slui.exe 4 to get the activation of the phone, but I had the screen normal activation that I'm used to without phone option.

  What should I do here? I don't want to pay for the new disks or reinstall again if I have to...
  original title: not activate Windows Vista OEM

  After talking with Microsoft, I am very pleased and impressed by their service.

  What the tech says the key to the case only lights up if the installation came from the disc from the factory, I did not and is no longer available from the manufacturer. They I generated a new key which also did not work because it does not correspond with the oem Setup, I used.
  Now they're sending me a new copy of Vista Home Premium retail toll-free sales. I'll have to reinstall clean, but I'm fine with that in the circumstances.

• The resale of Windows Vista OEM (dvd and license)

  If I build me a PC parts and use OEM windows Vista Home, can I consider all 4 years later apart sells parts and the vista OEM software all stay?

  The license is no longer in use. Therefore, it is fair to say that it can still be used by a PC? Should be sold with a 'part of this original PC' I built 4 years ago or a part of it, that is to say the motherboard or hard drive?

  "15 TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY. You can transfer the software directly to a third party

  only with the device under license. You may not retain any copies of the software or any previous version

  Version. Before any permitted transfer, the other party must accept that this agreement

  applies to the transfer and to the use of the software. The transfer must include the certificate of

  Label of authenticity.

  What is the device? The PC that was taken part into different parts? Can I resell it with a RAM module for example?

  Hi AhmedChowdhury,

  1. Yes. If you install Windows 7 on this computer have the Vista DVD and its product key / license that you can not use it as an installation legitimate anywhere else using this product key. or keep it in case you want to roll back to Vista, which I doubt as you'd like!

  2. that Microsoft OEM Vista DVD will contain the files to install the various editions of Vista; Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate. Microsoft retail Vista DVD will do the same. The only problem is that the 32 bit and 64 bit Vista editions come on different DVDs.

  But with respect to the sale of a DVD of Vista without product key, computer owners can make their own or buy DVDs of recovery for their computer model OF the manufacturer, at a cheap price anyway.

  And if their friends have a DVD Microsoft, Microsoft NOTES not Sanyo, Toshiba DVD, they can copy their DVD friends for nothing.

• Install Vista OEM giving no end of trouble

  So, I have two computers right now, and I am trying to install the version of my Vista OEM on the first computer.

  The first computer I bought from dell on 3 or 4 years back, and he came up with an OEM version of windows vista and a disc re - install. It's the computer, on that I try to install Vista, but that's the problem. This computer has 4 SATA ports, but 3 of them are broken, so I can connect only 1 SATA, my CD-ROM drive or HARD drive device. In addition to this, I can't boot from a USB device on this computer, so I can't install the operating system on the hard drive of this computer using this motherboad of computers.

  So I thought ok, I'lll just use my other computer to install the operating system. So I plugged my HDD from my work computer and installed the OEM of Vista version on the hard drive, it starts on this computer. I took the hard drive and put it back in the 1 sata port on my other computer to work, and I get a BSOD... I read that the OEM of Vista version cannot synchronize a motherboad, but this is ridiculous. I bought vista for this computer, I ran vista on this computer for 4 years now, until I temporarily used this drive in my other computer. Now, I am very disappointed to find that I can't install vista on the computer vista was originally bought for...

• Impossible to uninstall Works 8.5 on an OEM installation

  Original title: remove Works 8.5

  How can I uninstall Works 8.5 when it was an OEM installation and I don't have the original disks?

  Sorry for the delay.

  If, you can't remove without inserting the disc of MS Works, I suggest that you are looking for a 3rd party software removal tool.
  There are several you can find this should work for you. Most are free that you can download and use on Windows Vista.

  can I use the original product key to windows vista Home premium OEMAct, which is printed below my laptop, for a new installation of windows vista Home premium sp2. Please I need answer ASAP. Thank you very much

• Built a new computer, kept the hard drive from my old computer but had Vista OEM

  I have set up a new computer, but kept my hard drive to save money, I did not know that that I was not allowed to do, and now I'm stuck without a computer! Rather than buying a new copy of windows is it possible to get my renewed series and re - install off a friends Vista CD? I'm in the United Kingdom if it makes a difference to contact departments/services on this subject.

  If Vista is preinstalled on your computer, or you purchased an OEM disk/license, it is non-transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.

• Vista OEM previously saved on portable computer diff no longer works, want to install on another

  What will happen if I install my own OEM Vista version that I had already installed and registered w/MS on an old Compaq laptop but is no longer use this laptop and to install the version of Vista OEM on an old HP dv8000 has Win XP on it... thing is, barely, I used my version of Vista and this old Compaq because shortly after I put all that registered with MS, the LCD screen is kaput and I took the thing out, and so it is since that way... not working... I lost all that money on the purchase of Vista and never really used a lot. So, what I'm wondering is MS will allow me to activate my Vista OEM version if I install it on the dv8000 with same serial number supplied with the pkg? do I need to call? They let me use the same serial number or is it possible that because I OWN it, they just issue a new product key that so I can install and save Vista on the dv8000? and what is the phone number for the activation of MS service? I should maybe just call and talk to them and I hope that I can reuse my version?

  Microsoft, you cannot move your OEM license to another machine.

  And you don't know you have a license to use it according to the discretion of Microsoft.

  Licensing rules:

  If the machine came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the machine is for the preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and system builder OEM license is bound to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.
