Vista to Windows 7 Upgrade not activate when it is installed on the bare machine

I have two laptops.

The first belonged originally to my employer and originally had an OEM of Vista installation.  After that I bought them that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium via the upgrade Vista product. This laptop is dead in a final very recently.

Also the second laptop was bought by my employer, but as bare metal (they were more able to transfer licenses of Windows). He had no OS installed. I was not able to install a copy of Vista on it (because the purchase of the laptop one did not include the disks of Vista). So that I could not transfer activation. Windows 7 upgrade-to-Vista install has worked well on the bare machine (after downloading the drivers and others) except for activation, where he could not say "you cannot use an upgrade installation."

I guess, reading a bit on this topic here, I'm out of luck on the old Windows 7 license transfer (although I'd like to hear otherwise). Even if this is the case, I need to know what I need to follow to install a version "authentic". I don't want to build the machine from scratch once again, if I can avoid it - it was very tedious. I don't want to 'upgrade' to Windows 8.

He would work to install a version of Windows 7 OEM on top of the existing, or must they be installed on a naked machine? Is there a different version that works if that won't? (Special bonus question: would such a facility, if it works, make the machine that is eligible for a free upgrade of Windows 10?)

Thanks for all your comments and responses.

Have you tried to activate by phone?

  • Windows 7 will not activate after a clean install and several improvements to my computer.

    I bought a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I installed my old hardware running, but found Windows 7 either too many resources.  When there was enough money kicking around to upgrade my computer a few months later I did (new card mother cpu and ram).  Windows 7 would not start normally or in safe mode, my old installation of XP would not boot normally but would start in safe mode.  So I reinstalled Windows 7 with a clean install (reformatted my hard drive) and it works fine but now it won't turn on!  It says that I have to type in a different product key because I typed the product key cannot be used to activate Windows on my computer.

    I understand the need to fight against piracy, but the thought that I can't upgrade my computer without having to buy another product key is ridiculous!  There are solutions to this problem?

    Activate manually.  It is detect your previous installation and seeing this as an attempt to install the product on another computer.  It is a common phenomenon.

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate the operating system.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    If this does not work (these procedures are for Vista, but I guess they will work with Windows7), and then republish your questiion in Windows7 Forums:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads where they can provide the procedure for this OS if it is different.

  • Dreamweaver does not start when it is installed on the second disk

    Hello

    I recently installed Dreamweaver (trial version) on a second drive through creative cloud Manager.

    When I clicked on DW in the started program start, but got stuck.

    I tried to go in the installed folder and double click on DW, but it's the same thing.

    Then I clicked on DW to create Cloud manager and DW loaded without any problems.

    So why the program only started compared to the creative clouds?

    Platform: Windows 10

  • Windows 10 - ADE not detected when I download books from the public library

    Since installing Windows 10 and 4.5 of the ADE, when I download a book in a public library it just downloads the file to some directory .epub I chose.  To get it in ADE, I have to go through the "Add to library" function in the ADE.

    That's fine, but ADE does not recognize it as a borrowed book, so I can't return it when I finished it.  I approach the maximum number of books I have checked with my local library because these books will not be returned.  Apparently, I have to wait for them has expired.

    Ideas?

    Well, I got the answer today at our local library.

    Books, that I was just downloading was be books "Open EPUB", which means they have no DRM protection.  I can keep them as long as I want.

    An unexpected consequence of these 'loans' is that there is no way to return the books before their expiration date, so that they are based on my library account, running the number of books I checked.  The librarian told me that if I really need to send back them at the beginning so I can consult books more I could send a request it and it can return manually.

    Problem solved.

  • Windows 7 will not activate reinstall after Asus M3A Council.

    Recently, I did a reinstall of costs of upgrading windows 7 on an Asus M3A mother card.  When I tried to do the validation, it is not accepted.   This license from a windows 7 upgrade kit 3pk @ Walmart I bought shortly after the release of windows 7.  I had no problem with the original installation but having moved and the system being stored for about 2 years, I thought I would clean the system with a new facility.  This update was conducted from Windows XP that was originally installed on the card.  I've updated the processor, memory and bios over the years.   I do a reinstall once before long after the upgrade and had a similar problem.  In this case, I had to go back to older BIOS and CPU that was in the system when I did the initial upgrade.  I took some of the old avalible yet bios from Asus but do not have the original CPU.   Attached are the results of the windows validation tool.   Any ideas?   I also tried the route to reinstall windows XP by using the original XP license and then done installing windows 7.  No luck.

  • Windows 7 is not friendly when installing programs

    I got nothing else problems with Windows 7 because I bought this computer. I spent countless hours with your support staff (HP) as well as support staff from companies I bought software that will not download on my computer. Below is my last means of support to Roxio:

    I have already received your explanation of long pages how to install your product on Windows 7. First of all, please excuse this next part I'm about to tear my hair!

    All I want to do is to install your program! I don't want to be a computer programmer! Windows 7 is a huge piece of _! Anyone can help me with the fact that I can't seem to install anything. Is there someone in your organization who can help me to disable all "security" features in windows 7 that stop me from using my computer as a useful tool as it should be? I already spent the money to upgrade to your Creator 2010 when 2009 worked just fine on my old computer because windows 7 has said I should. Well now it won't download to my new computer as well as your download Windows Installer Cleanup utility tips to get rid of the traces of the program who don't settle. Well guess what people - Microsoft has removed this utility from its Web site because it screws to the top of your operating system! WHAT NOW?

    I have a very busy life - two children, two jobs, not enough time and not enough sleep! I need things I spend my hard earned money on to work the first time, without having to get an another diploma in computer programming.

    I had several sessions with your personal online support that eventually included a clean installation of Windows 7! I got it! I want all the features of 'Safe' windows 7 is off! I am the ONLY user of my computer! I am the administrator! I won't be asked to give permission to download something on my computer just to come back and say that there no download in any case! I don't want one set of instructions in a 55-page memo explaining how "easily" this problem could be solved! I don't want this 'HUGE' issued to be fixed at this time only she either happen the next time I decide to purchase software to try to make my life easier. I want a permanent solution!  I won't contact you again this topic! I is uncomfortable to have to contact HP on a problem of Windows 7, but Microsoft will not support my Windows 7 because it was installed by HP, when I bought your computer! I spent a lot of money on this computer and so far I WAS NOT HAPPY! :(

    See if you can download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility through this Microsoft link.

    What does Internet Explorer protected mode?

    Internet Explorer protected mode is a feature that makes it more difficult for malware to be installed on your computer.

    In addition to helping protect your computer from malicious software, protected mode allows you to install wanted ActiveX controls or modules when logged in as an administrator.

    Protected mode is enabled by default in the Internet, intranet, Local and sensitive sites areas and an icon appears on the status bar to make you know it is running.

    By clicking on 'Protected Mode' (just above and to the left of the clock) allows you to disable.

  • Windows XP will not activate.

    Starting a box appears on the screen and Windows asks me to activate, when I do this another box comes up and says that Windows is already activated. I now have four days to activate Windows XP.

    It was a new update in a store, and yes a new motherboard has been implemented with only a few weeks. What is this business of piracy? This copy was placed in the shop and I used my original disc number I had in my old machine for a while?

    What we say here that XP original and the number isn't good and everytime I update, I have to buy a software from Microsoft?

    This means you are trying to install an OEM of Windows version which was provided by a computer on another computer manufacturer. A new motherboard is classified as a new computer and will not work.

    If you tried to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile is damaged, you can try to fix it. You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.
