Windows 7 Enterprise to my college for personal computer - bad idea? Activation key?

If I get Windows 7 Enterprise to my college for a personal computer, do need me an activation key? Also, is there reason it would bad get this version of Windows-like when I'm no longer the college, there are problems with my computer?

Thanks in advance for the help!

The way that some colleges set up is, when you graduate you can continue running the license, but if you lose it by formatting the machine or otherwise, you will need to buy a license or reinstall the original license that you ran before the upgrade of the company.

Some colleges use KMS license that requires that the license be reactivated in 180 days. Thus, you need to remove after you graduate, because you will not be able to connect to the school network and turn it back on, which is required by KMS activation.

  • What OS you install?  Windows 7 full or system OEMs for personal use?

    I know that you are supposed to use only system integrators if you want to resell but im wondering if anyone has used the OEM version for personal use?

    I heard on CNET how the OEM version it blocks on a computer, but with the full version, you can install it on your computer next if you build a new.

    It's just better get the full version?

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks: GLenn

    Glenn,

    There is nothing to sell in the System Builder Pack.

    It can ONLY be distributed with a fully assembled computer system.

    It must also be preinstalled on the hard drive of the computer system completely assembled, using the preinstallation OEM (OPK).

    Definitions:

    b. distribution and distribute means the point in time, when a client system leaves your control.

    Preinstallation of software

    1. for each unit of software in the Pack, you must pre-install a copy of the software on a client system before its distribution. If the software includes several language versions, you must only install one language.

    I note the last words to Adobe, because they have a such crazy Installer than some diligent cleanup of license agreements, speech recognition modules and the other language related stuff in the installation of Production Premium will result in about 2 000 deleted and 1 600 files + directories.

    I asked several times to clean the installer, so I do not get the license agreements in 42 different languages for each of the programs in the suite.

    This practice makes install once more, pulls down performance and fills the space on the disk, without any value.

    I don't understand that they are unable to follow Microsofts example as shown above.

  • Evaluation for Windows 8 enterprise key

    Hello

    Can you please give me a key for Windows 8 Enterprise to try it for 90 days
    I can't install it without a key
    Thank you

    It does not require a product key.

    Things to know before you start

    • The evaluation version will expire and cannot be upgraded.
    • To upgrade, the assessment must be uninstalled and a retail version of Windows must be reinstalled from your original installation media.
    • Consider running evaluation edition in a virtual environment or install on a partition or separate hard disk. Allow you to upgrade your original Windows installation to Windows 8.
    • Your registration (required) you need to connect with a Microsoft account and provide your name, email address and country.
    • You must activate the product online in 10 days after installation.
    • Once the assessment is installed, you can not pass. To return to an earlier version of Windows, you must do a clean install of your original installation media.

    Activation and operating instructions

    • Back up your files and settings before installing this assessment and again before the expiry of the 90 days.
    • During installation, you will have 10 days to activate this online assessment. Windows prompts you to activate. A product key is not required for this software.
    • You must complete activation before August 15, 2013, to use this assessment.
    • Once you enable it, you have up to 90 days to use the software. You can track the amount of time you have left by referring to the 'watermark' in the lower right corner of the Windows desktop.
    • If you are unable to activate this assessment within the 10-day grace period, or if your trial period expires, the desktop wallpaper becomes black, you'll see a persistent desktop notification that the system is not authentic, and the PC stops every hour of unsaved work lost.
    • After the evaluation period, you will need to replace the operating system on your test computer and reinstall all your programs and data. It is not possible to update the assessment to a licensed version of Windows 8 work. A new installation is required.
  • Key to Windows 7 Enterprise?

    On my pc I havr windows 7 Enterprise n, I had to reinstall because of a bad update, the person who built my pc has the key, but it says that I have. Anyway is to get a new key cheep?

    Windows 7 Enterprise is for organizations only and not available for individual use. If you use a computer that is given to you by your organization, please contact your organization, team IT support for further assistance.

    If Windows 7 Enterprise was installed by a person on your personal PC, chances are you could use counterfeit software. In this case, you can either pay for a license of the same software or you can opt for a more recent version (Windows 8.1). Even in this case, you will need to pay for a license to use Microsoft support.

    If you have a genuine version of Windows 7 on your computer, you can find a label certificate of authenticity (COA) on the chassis of the PC that has the product key and the edition of Windows being installed. A COA looks like this:

  • Is there a way I can go to Windows 7 Enterprise to just Windows 7 without making purchases?

    Original title: windows 7 Enterprise

    Hello, I have a computer comes with windows company and I am in no connection with a business, is there a way I can go to windows 7 Enterprise to just windows 7 without shopping? also is there a way to get 32-bit to 64-bit without the disc too?

    Windows 7 Enterprise, a customer of volume license used by large companies who deploy Windows 7 in bulk to hundreds of thousands of computers.

    Where did you get your computer?

    Is there a COA sticker that is attached to the system unit? If there is, it should have Windows 7 Professional on this topic. If so, you probably try restore the status of the plant.

    COA certificate of authenticity:

    What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    ------------------------------------

    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?

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    If the factory recovery partition is not functional, but the COA sticker is there with the appropriate version and edition of Windows 7, you can try to download and then reinstall Windows 7:

    then

    https://techingiteasy.WordPress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-Windows-7-OEM-license-using-a-retail-disc/

    If there is no COA sticker at all, then you best option is to purchase a license of Windows 7:

    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. »)

  • Uprgade Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Enterprise

    I am currently trying to find the way the most effective of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro to Windows 7 Enterprise.

    I have all the correct licenses and keys and agreements and what not for the company, but I have a VERY large number of machines that I need to do it on. I know that only one option is a clean install. This is not practical due to constraints of time, but also questions of maintenance of data and parameters.

    Another option that I've found is all change professional in the Publisher of the registry and then do a repair install with an ERD of company. I've tested this and it did work, preserving the data and settings. But it still took 4 + hours. I hope that there is a way to cut this time down.

    I also saw in my travels through google a "Windows Anytime Upgrade". My questions about this are then, it works to put on professional level of company? How much time would it take time wise (if possible)? And if it keeps the data on the computer?

    Or are there other options I know?

    And finally, if Windows Anytime Upgrade does not work for this, and there is no way to reduce the duration of the repair facility, is that something I could write a script to do all of this for me?

    Thank you!
