  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):

  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. »)

  Please note that Windows 7 Release Candidate is a preliminary version of Windows and should not have has been used as a release candidate.

  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.

• Is the reward Center of Mozilla, offering VIP customers the chance to win an iPad and asking my home, real or a scam?

  On my Google Nexus 5, when I access the app ASTRO file manager, I am daily receiving a message advertising the "Mozilla reward Center", offering VIP customers the chance to win an iPad and calling my home for shipping I should win.

  It seems like a scam.

  I saved a pdf of the screen, if anyone wants to see it.

  If anyone knows how to block ads in ASTRO file manager, I would appreciate the help, but I suspect that's not possible.

  Hello
  This very probably (actually certainly) is a scam. Mozilla would never ask you for your place of home - and not by an ad. Please do not click on the link or provide your personal data.

  Thank you for reporting this issue.

• I have win 98se, win xp sp3 and Windows vista 64 bit, I want to share printer files

  I have win 98se, win xp sp3 and Windows vista 64-bit PCs, and I want to share files & printer... printer is connect in xp or 98se, well, what is possible... currently, I've got these between vista and xp, which is available when win 98se involved?

  Two ways are participatory computers in a windows environment, a working group and a _.   You can fill in the blank?

  Virtual private networks have little to do with the domains or working groups.

  I don't think that WIndows 98 can join to a domain.  All versions of WIndows, you mention should be able to participate in a working group, however.

  In my opinion, the best way to share a printer is to use a printer connected to the network

• I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password.

  Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

  I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

  If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

  Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.

• I down loaded WIN 8 RT and I am not convinced how re-install my Windows 7?

  I downloaded Win8RT and I want to know if there is a way to remove this O.S. and get my windows 7 as the OS no knows how I have does not perform a backup to disk when I got my PC.

  As to my question on "HOW DELETE/ASK (RT 8 back to WINDOWS 7). The forum has been VERY useful for my query pertaing to this question! (TKS guys!) I did different things but as M.S. gave me the instructions/tools to do so. RT is an x 86 platform base and is running a 4.0 framework, I found that the ISO of WIN 7 x 86 down load was necessary and I also had to come in and change the setting for a 3.0 platform. It worked well for me because I haven't run on recommendations 7 disc set parameters. I found (after some searching) don't choose the 'install updates recommended' as I did after install and also ran "CUSTOM" Setup and went from there. The 8RT was 'OK', but after a time, I found it is not a stable OS because I wanted to learn "how" do and apply applications for the WINDOWS 8 Pro platform because I'm sure, is a more stable OS then the RT. I hope that this 'Info' is perhaps useful to those who are trying to re - install the WINDOWS 7 O.S. of the 8RT.  A lot of trials and mistakes were made, and I found it works well for me because I've tried the suggested install from the OLD Win but I found that there are some Win.old 2 and 3 on my Toshiba Lap Top.

  Step 1: Burn 7 win x 86 on DVD disc on a low setting. (select homepage, Premium or ultimate edition)

  Step 2: Turn off windows Desk Top apps, incert 7 disc and then click 'Auto Run' when the drop down menu appears at the top right.

  Step 3: Follow the instructions in 'Inslall Set Up' as shown.

• If Win XP SP1 is no longer supported, can I reinstall from my system disk and always upgrade to SP3?

  My hard drive is filled with thousands of uninstall files and folders while he was trying to upgrade my operating system to SP3. I want to wipe the hard drive and reinstall xp and other software. My system drive is XP SP1. Can I reinstall this version and then go online to upgrade to SP3?

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 5100 with a Pentium 4 processor and 1 GB of RAM (maximum). I don't think that I have the option to upgrade to windows 7.

  While Windows XP with SP1/SP1a or SP2 is no longer "supported" - it's just a matter of installing Windows XP patched SP3 to fall in this category 'supported '.
   
  My suggestion - to make things simple - if you install cleanly, simply download and install Service Pack 2 for Windows XP first.  Reboot several times.  Then, download and then install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP.  Reboot several times.  Then start visiting http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and continue to install post-SP3 90 updates +.

• Setup is blocked by its own tests for Win 7 (64) and get Windows XP (64)

  I'm trying to install my HP E609a printer (formerly installed in my Windows XP computer (32)) in my Windows 7 (64). During this installation, the installer has tested operating system for compatibility and found that the operating system is Windows XP (64).

  This, of course, is false. But that doesn't matter because the installer stopped in his tracks.

  How can I tell him that "it is wrong" and proceed with the installation?

  Hi DrRedEyeand welcome to the Forums of HP.

  I suggest to remove all files from the temp folder and using the printer Installation Wizard to download and install the appropriate software. HP printer install wizard for Windows was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and users Windows 8.1 download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP printer.

  1. Hold down the Windows Logo key ( ) on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
  2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups appear saying none of the files could not be removed

  Click here to download and run the utility

  If it still does not work, please take a look at the following document. Windows 7: 'your system does not have the minimum requirements of the system' message on the computer during the installation of the HP software.

  I hope this helps.
