Win 7 Pro Activation

• Problem with Win 7 Pro Activation

  Hi all

  I'll make this as short as possible to save everyone. Using the software (slmgr) management tool I disabled the license of my wife of W7Pro retail. It was a purchase by us Best Buy retail. We needed to move the operating system for its new pc that the old man is dead (we still have it btw). Once its new PC has increased and running that I used once more the slmgr to fix and that deliver the same license of the retail for the new pc. When you try to activate the license after the first reboot after the ipk switch, it is said that the key has been blocked by Microsoft. All this took place over a period of 20 minutes. Went to a version quite correct being stuck with nothing. I have to call Microsoft to get it "unlocked"? When I disabled the operating system on the old computer, I did it using the activation ID as your supposed to. I also ran the switch of the DLI to check my copy of windows and everything before hand. Once I got disabling the operating system on the old PC, I checked that it worked and it did. Now, even after correct protocol, I can't license to validate.

  Can someone please offer some advice here? She is not yet ready for 8.1 and of course, I don't want to have to buy another key after doing everything correctly.

  I thank very you much in advance!

• ProDesk 600 G1 TWR: restore ProDesk for Win 7 Pro

  This is the situation:
  I have a HP ProDesk 600 G1 TWR with upgrade to Win 10 Pro. Some limitations of the software, we need to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. There is the HP Recovery partition but F11 does not work, I think because for some reason, the HARD drive turned to the dynamics. Now, like a miracle, I found the DVD of the PC kit, well well, I'm not sure complete if belong to this concretely workstation, but HP for the same model.

  

  The question: what about the license? In my view, it is an OEM license and I don't have the key. Can I use the DVD Win 7 Pro for the recovery of the PC? What the activation process in this case?
  
  Of course, if it is possible just to use the recovery partition, will be great.
  Thanks in advance!

  Hello:

  You should be able to use the recovery discs to install W7 without key.

  His situation was that it has installed an SSD.

• Pavilion p6-2133w: upgrade Windows 10 Pro activation after replacing the processor and motherboard

  I upgraded a Pavilion P6 W10 Pro in September. Everything was going well until the motherboard and processor failed. When I replaced the hardware I am prompted to activate Windows - I have the product key for Windows 7 Home Prem OA office machine that does not work for W10 Pro. I don't know how W10 Pro ran six months and support MS insists I do decline to W10. Two questions.

  1 how W10 differ from the W10 Pro?
  2. How is this W10 Pro could have been improved in Windows 7 Home Prem OA? Looks like a decoy on the BONE.

  Greetings,

  The replacement of the mother/CPU card can be extra monkey wrench in this situation.

  You cannot use a key of Win 7 Home on Win 10 Pro.

  You will need to install Win 10 and then move on to Win 10 Pro. Win 10 going to Win 10 percent if you had an activated copy of win 10 Pro.

  1. other features such as BitLocker and domain join.

  2. I have no idea how you've gone from Win 7 Home win 10 Pro. Were you a BETA-Tester (Windows Insider program)? I upgraded from Win 7 to win 10 Pro, because I was a BETA-Tester,

  I just did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro but ignored the input of the product key. Windows activated, but not right away.

• can I switch from win xp pro sp3 Windows XP Professional x 64

  I have an old computer Pentium (32 bit system) (2001) with max memory 2 GB and I wish to Exchange my c: drive to a new 64-bit computer that has the capacity of up to 16 GB of memory.  I am currently using win xp pro sp3 and I don't want to move to Vista or 7 because I'm very comfortable with win xp pro screens.  I'm assuming that win xp Pro x 64 edition is similar for win xp pro in that regard.  Current box has four scsi drives, 2 CD/DVD, 4 pci for creating music cards readers, card Radeon video (2 screens), 2.2 GHz Intel Pentium CPU, 2 GB memory Rambus.  I'm go to Gigabyte GA45T-ES3G-ATX, CPU 3.0 Ghz 775, 16 GB memory Kingston Hyper X, videocard PNY 450NVS Quadro (4 screens), 2 SSD drives (100(c drive)/500 GB).  I opted for the Gigabyte motherboard because it has a pcie x 16 video card and 5 pci slots.  I use software Cakewalk mainly which has a capacity of 64-bit and some of my cards have drivers 64-bit available.  Other software will be able to run in 32-bit mode (x 86).

  My plan is to clone the c: drive current, load it on the new ssd drive and upgrade to Win xp Pro x 64 load if possible.

  Andrea

  First and most importantly, there is no way to upgrade from XP 32 bit to 64 bit, you must perform a "clean installation" of the 64-bit version and then reinstall your applications. Don't forget to back up your data files.

  Secondly because the card mother old and new are very different (device drivers and chipset), it is unlikely that, after cloning your hard drive to an SSD, the computer would even start.

  I'd rather you 32-bit version of Windows XP is a 'Reticular Full' version (OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard it is installed on and can not be activated on another motherboard) is to reinstall XP 32 Bit to one of your SSD drives (you did not mention RAID), then install the drivers from Gigabyte.

  If you must go the 64-bit road know that 64-bit XP was not very well supported by software vendors and is not widely used.

  Also note that this socket 775 motherboard uses memory DDR3 and no common DDR2 for cards 775 mothers socket.

  If Pro 10 Windows was preinstalled on your computer, see how in-depth instructions downgrade:

  How Downgrade Windows preinstalled 10 for Windows 7/8.1

  As mentioned in the article, it is your responsibility to facilitate access to Windows 7 Professional reinstall media. He may be borrowing retail upgrade or full version of media or OEM System Builder.

  You can use the following utility to download the ISO of Windows 7 Professional:

  Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool - HeiDoc.net

  Instructions for activation phone activation use after decommissioning in detail article I linked at the start. No need to buy Windows 7 Professional.

  Instead of replace, you might want to consider dual booting:

  How to: Dual Boot Windows 7 or Windows 8 with Windows installed 10 first

  If what you bought is an OEM System Builder Windows 10 Pro license, then you can indeed buy Windows 7 Professional.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  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

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

• New system Win 7 Pro Builds - take 2 days of updates - SLOW

  Hello

  We build Win 7 Pro SP1 machines for our customers on a daily basis. Each generation system is exactly the same with respect to the hardware and the OS.

  Once the equipment is mounted, load us Win 7 Pro, install all the drivers, activate the key and then begin the process of 2 days to update the system before we can finish the build & ship to our customers.

  There are usually about 230 + automatic updates who needs every machine according to the update of windows. We have 32 GB of RAM in each machine that we build during the update phase to ensure that there is nothing on our side to help make this process slower. (Our machines are rich in resources and very fast hardware)

  When we launch the update, it will last for 5-8 hours BEFORE it starts the download/update/restart process. There is no possible way that we can maintain our customers in a faster way because of this process 2 horrible day. This process of 2 days is eating my lunch.

  Question:

  Is there anything we can do to simply load the updates on our end - or another possible solution that does not require that us invest in a roll of enterprise quality cost platform?

  Note: Starting tomorrow, we're going to experiment with cloning a fully charged & update Win 7 Pro Solid State HD - which has not yet been activated with the key. Once clone us the master SSHD to an another SSHD, we will then activate the 2nd SSHD with the appropriate Windows button, etc... Our idea is to just clone the master for the builds - then enable each SSHD on the new machine with the windows key is supplied with each machine.

  Any ideas are appreciated - if our experimental is the better solution, please let me know.

  Thank you!

  They are not rules downgrade "Dell"... they are rules of downgrade from Microsoft, and Yes, Windows 8 Pro (Pro ONLY) qualifies for the downgrade rights.  Activation for downgrade rights is the responsibility of the user, so you can activate it using ANY other license (even if used on a different machine/account without affecting this license)... a Dell installation DVD is eligible.  Normally, a Dell installation DVD requires NO key to enter, and the range of systems that work with a DVD is extensive, but not universal, so if it asks for a product key, you will need to have one of your own to provide.

  Why would you downgrade?
