• Re: Satellite M70-168: new HD and OEM license

  Hello

  My Satellite is out of warranty...
  Original HD (80 gb) broke, and it is impossible to find the same HD.
  I'll replace it with a HGST Travelstar 5 K 750 HTS547575A9E384 - HD - 750 GB - SATA-300.

  1. I think that 2 Sata (sata 300) is compatible, but work to only at speed of sata 1 (sata 150). Is this a problem?
  2. restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first inning, license is OEM allow this work, or block the restoration?

  Sorry for my bad language... Frenchie Frenchie's

  Thank you very much.

  Satellite M70 is old but good laptop and with the new drive HARD and clean OS preinstalled, it should work well. I had it a long time ago and if I m remembering well there connector SATA HDD SATA HDD can be used.

  I think 750GB can be too much and I don t know if it will work OK. Used mine M70 with 320 GB of HARD drive.
  You can test it, but please post comments.
  > Do to restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first round
  You can use the original picture but if I m remembering well that old book has been delivered with the recovery disk (WXP Home) and I put t know what you have created.
  > OEM license allow this work, nor block the restoration
  As far as I know, the license of the sticker belongs to the recovery image and you cannot use it for the activation of the operating system. If you use original recovery DVD that you got with your laptop you don t need. preloaded will be activated automatically.

• OEM license question

  Hello

  I just upgraded my desktop computer: I have replace the card mother + CPU + RAM + GPU. I have install Windows7 OEM version in this new system.

  I am about to sell my old equipment as a set card mother + RAM + CPU + GPU - basically an entire computer under drive hard-disk/optical/case/keyboard/mouse. Now, I had a version of Windows VISTA OEM specific to this system. Am I allowed to include in my sale, since it is the OEM version, attached to the original mother/CPU/GPU card?

  A buyer might have trouble to install/activate this version because it will be on a new hard drive?

  Thanks for your help.

  
  

  No, there no need to include the hard drive.  If it's even computer it can be re-installed on this computer (and ONLY this computer) if theonly change is a new player that you seem to be saying now hard (and you can probably also bring another device changes as well as long as it's the same computer).  It cannot be moved to another computer, regardless of how much of the old computer, move you with him - it must be the original, same computer only.  It is acceptable but not what I initially understood.

  My problem is using the OEM Windows 7 disk on another machine, but now it seems that it is a new machine that came with this OEM license and re-installed on this same new machine.  It is also acceptable.

  The issue in both cases change motherboard (and all that of other things).  It's the people of Activation or not they want to examine the same computer or not.  Since the automated process does not work, you will need to talk to them and explain the situation and hope that they decide to allow the activaion because rules when so many changes are done become a bit vague and open to interpretation.  I suggest that you select one that you want to sell before sale to ensure that it is permissible and we meet with a problem after the sale.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Interoperability of OEM license? Win7 Pro vs built-in Win7

  Every year I buy instrumentation include a licensed OEM Windows operating system.   Regular maintenance lab at my installation implies historically harddrive cloning to create identical machines for identical seasons when new provider driver/tools are available.

  Until this year, our instruments of the seller have all come with the same OEM Win7 Pro, facilities so we have followed carefully what licenses went with what instruments, but were easily able to quickly deploy updates string tool by doing a manual installation & validation process 1 x and then 'cloning' around the laboratory to wear all the benches in accordance.

  The most recent instruments, we bought provider now include OEM Win7 built-in instead of "Win7 pro" our concern is that now our current model of 'cloning' will not work, because we have a pool of # win7 pro licenses and a pool of win7 # Embedded licenses.

  To all the instruments of the 'same' for the sake of cloning, us (very probably via OEM Embedded Win7, because the seller cannot provide Pro licenses) us fall under the aegis of the "downgrade rights"? Or do we need to negotiate with the seller to provide a reserve of specifically OEM Win7 Embedded licenses to assign to the laboratory & retired benches our set of OEM Win7 Pro files?

  Upgrade to a later version of Windows is not an option because we want to stay with provider supported OS (es).

  1 you will need to check the documentation of your purchase, including any contract enabling essential at the supplier.  They have obtained licenses for Windows embedded products they sold to you.

  2 they should also provide you with the image of the system that you use for cloning for the new equipment operations.

  3 your Win7 Pro existing licenses will continue to apply to the equipment they were first installed on.  As each piece of equipment is retired, his license dies because the OEM licenses are not transferable.

  4 upgrade is not really relevant for users of Embedded licenses because the equipment provider, as the Subscriber license & hardware developer, would have to deal with these issues.

  Your Windows 7 Embedded products will continue to receive updates until 2026.

  You can examine these questions using the link above.

  5 you will not be able to make all your instruments, the "same".  They are different.

• Windows 7 OEM license, cloned the new hard drive.

  I'm scratching my head on this one.

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro with an OEM license.

  Beyond December, my original hard drive started failing so I made a clone of Clonezilla and transferred to a new hard drive.  Since then, I have not been able to run Windows update and I regularly get a Windows is not real popup.  I checked the section properties and my computer Windows Activation of Windows is enabled.  I tried the site of verification but that sends me to a web page that does not seem to load correctly and 9/10 times.  When I managed to load and I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate tool, it gives me just a Setup 0xC8000247 error.  I tried returning my SLUI 3 product key and everything went through fine.  I checked various websites and people say that it must be good using a new hard drive, others say you can't and others are calling saying Microsoft and speak to someone.

  Can I use my OEM license when transferring to a new hard drive?  Answer, what would be the next step?

  Yes, you can use the same OEM license, because it's the same computer.

  What you need to do is probably performing a new installation. Clone software tends not to provide the best results.

  The old hard drive still works? You might try one last time to create a system image and restore it on the new hard drive:

  How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - books...

  This of course would mean reinstall the old hard drive, create a system image and then restore it on the hard drive.

  Another option is to perform a new installation using the OEM key.

  Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  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:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

  How to: perform a customized Windows installation

• Disc of Windows 7 64 bit System Builder will allow me to do a clean install using the supplied with any PC OEM license?

  In the past, I bought a windows XP disk manufacturers Premium System home.

  If there is a computer that does not have the recovery discs, I could reinstall the XP operating system and use the ORIGINAL OEM license to

  turn on the computer.

  This is always the case with a copy of WINDOWS 7 Home premium 64-bit disk system integrators.

  This disc will allow me to use the license OEM Original on any computer I do a clean install on If I

  Have a WINDOWS 7 Home Premium license on those computers?

  Its simpler just uninstall what you don't want, its going to be no different from a clean install. You can forget something on the left over registry entries, which is of no consequence and has not been since Windows 9 * days.

  A destructive restore using the recovery disks, is a dry-cleaning facility / formatted.

  And using the means of recovery disks then you can download the drivers from this manufacturer of PC

  System builders, of the same version of fix disk can be used with your key, it is however attached to the first PC sound used on and subsequently cannot be used on another.

  If you really want the win7 installation disc, you can download the ISO official that corresponds to the version you have the key to.

• OEM licenses on motherboards...

  So about 1.5 to 2 years ago I built a custom PC and bought an OEM SP1 of Win7 HP for her. I was aware the links of license to the motherboard. My father has also recently bought a PC, although it has not installed the SP1 of HP OEM Win7 that accompanies it. His mother is better than mine, so I offered to pay the difference and swap motherboards. I have 2 years ' worth of information on the SSD that has my Windows installed on it, and I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer my SSD (with the OS on it) to a new motherboard without having to erase the disc? I have to call Microsoft and ask if they can remove the license of my current motherboard? Or any kind of impossible swap? Thank you.

  Once again:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• You can use version for VM Windows OEM license

  1. can I use OEM version for virtual machine window.

  2 in case I created a new copy and removed the old how it will affect license.
  3. If I want to create a new virtual machine by throwing an old can I use same OEM license
  Thanks in advance

  Yes, you can use the OEM System Builder License in a virtual machine.

  In what concerns by deleting and recreating a VM, I don't know to be honest, given the virtual machine itself is considered to be a computer and to move the license to a new virtual machine would be considered in the eyes of the LICENSE as another machine.

  What I suggest do you after installing Windows 7 OEM in a virtual machine and activate it, you must create a snap shot of your active install. When you are ready to throw a virtual machine just back to the snapshop so it will look like new.

• If the OEM license is tied to the BIOS, the BIOS can be updated without problems?

  I think to update my Vista 64 bit on windows 7 laptop.  I was reading the Ant on the differences between OEM and full, and in a post, it said that the OEM license is tied to the BIOS serial #.  Is it a serial number of the equipment of a firmware #.  What would happen if you fast a new BIOS revision?

  Thank you

  a preinstalled OEM SLP key should interact with the slic table in bios in order to activate itself. You can update the bios without negative consequences as long as you get the bios that is appropriate for your machine.

  An OEM system builder license does not use the slic table.

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

• OEM license

  The hard drive of the computer on which I built crashed and burned.  I have a new HD to replace.  In doing so, I will need to install Windows 7.  I have an OEM of Home Premium version.  I read a lot of the question regarding the resettlement and OEM license.  What I read that the OEM license is for the computer, it was first installed on.  If this is the case, shouldn't be able to install my copy of Windows 7 without a new license?  It's always the same computer, on which it has been installed previously, she just a new HD.

  You're ready to go! Install the HD and install your OEM operating system with no worries about violation of the EULA. It is, essentially, if your motherboard dies that it rated a new computer, and your license would die with him (some exceptions apply).

  I hope this helps.

• Windows OEM license for physical relationship.

  I ask this question in the forum Hardware because what I read; a Windows OEM license is married to a motherboard or hard drive.

  Is this true? The results of the research gave me conflicting answers.

  What happens if the motherboard or the C: drive dies? the associated Windows license would be lost with her?

  A computer components store told me that for the OEM depends more on what are the elements of qualification you purchase, or when you buy them. Which is in conflict with what I read.

  Note - my choice of OS Windows is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1, OEM.

  OEM qualifies for all DIY systems.

• By the policy of Lenovo, OEM license not activate the Office trial

  I just bought my ThinkPad. It came with a 60 day trial of Office Professional 2007. Separately, I bought an OEM license on eBay. It is authentic, with the box, blank discs, printed cards and hologram. But the OEM license is rejected. I could not understand why until I read this thread, which is that Lenovo is blocking you in purchasing a license of their own.

  I guess I could buy a retail version of Office Professional with the discs, but I didn't want to spend that much. I installed Open Office 3.0 and may simply stick with this free solution, even if I really feel like MS Publisher.

  Any suggestions? The work of OEM license so I can uninstall the trial and borrow some Office 2007 OEM disks?

• XP question: reuse an OEM license

  I was given a ten-year-old PC, which originally had an OEM of XP version on it. I was necessary to erase the disc, so I'm starting again. I have a Microsoft genuine XP disc I bought when it was new and a MSDN XP SP3 of the school record. I tried one of them (I don't remember which) to install XP using the OEM license, but the validation failed, I guess because I wasn't using an OEM disk. I'm not trying to cheat Microsoft because I am trying to reinstall an OEM on the original PC license (I didn't know that Microsoft cared more XP). Windows expects a genuine OEM disc to use?

  Yes, I know that XP is old and is no longer supported. It is a laboratory machine for transferring files from IDE drives.
