Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit - 2nd PC installation issue

I bought a PC in 2013 which came with Win7 Home Premium DVD, which I installed it myself. No problem, all good - not until now. The hard drive is dead and I need to reinstall on a new HD and, in the process, a new PC too.

I did, but after 30 days, there is a message stating that the software is not legitimate, no doubt, as it was installed on the original PC. Now, there is limited functionality.

It seems to imply that it is only possible to install it on the PC, it has been applied for in the first place. As I paid for it and have the DVD in my hands, how to install and work on this second PC now? It seems unfair that I have to pay again, although I was under the impression that the software can be installed on up to three PCs anyway.

Thank you very much.

  • Anytime Upgrade used to go on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit for Windows 7 Professional and now my computer is slow

    I run:
    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (used for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
    Intel Core i7 - 2600 k CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.70 GHz
    32 GB of RAM
    Seagate Barracuda 1 TB GB 7200 RPM HARD drive
    AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series

    I used the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit Windows 7 Professional 64-bit because Premium had a limit of 16 GB of ram.
    He checked and installed correctly without error.
    The main reason I wanted to be rid of this limit was because I could not watch any stream of twitch.tv.
    The upgrade has fixed my ability to watch the twitch.tv stream, but he gave me a problem which was even worse.
    Now, my computer is really slow.

    It takes a little longer than before to start.  When it is completely initialized, however, it is not as slow.  The mouse has just had a bit of lag.
    As soon as I try to use any application, my computer is really slow.

    For example: I open Mozilla Firefox.  There is a delay on when I type.  The mouse really gets lag.  With even just a 2nd tab open almost triple the slowness.

    It also occurs in Skype.  I'll have a delay in typing, and it's just slow in general.
    It also occurs in video games.  In World of Warcraft, for example, I used to get the full 60 fps in an area populated with max graphics.  Now, I rarely go above 10 frames per second with low graphics in an uninhabited area.
    Finally, it also occurs in the videos.  Let's say that I have 2 tabs open in Firefox.  This would normally have me delay like crazy if I try to do things (move the mouse, switch tabs, etc.).  If one of these 2 tabs is YouTube, and I watch a video, it drags you only if I try to move my mouse or tabs.  If I move all of my mouse, he plays the close video very well.  Even with the rivers Twitch.tv, Own3d, etc..  He accuses only if I move my mouse etc.  Also, if I don't move my mouse, the audio gets too quirky.  It's a kind of dubstep/robot/static noise.

    I tried to fix it or to limit the things:

    • Updated drivers
    • sfc/scannow (no problem)
    • Safe mode with network (always gal)
    • Service disabled for ALL , including Windows services (always gal)
    • Registry cleaned using CCcleaner
    • Clean a bunch of different caches and tempfiles.
    • A run each utility troubleshooting of Windows on my computer (only found no problem)
    • Reset my IP/TCP
    • The event logs recorded, but anything too rare.
    • Verified resource monitor, but my CPU usage is fine.  He's even not higher than 30-40% on the worst of the LAG.  Memory is also very good. It is used to 3 GB with 28 GB free.

    I tried a lot of things, but I don't remember right now.  I will edit this post when I remember or try new things.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my post and, I hope, provide input!

    I can tell you that registry cleaners are snake oil.  They do not help much, and they can cause problems.  Have you checked Device Manager to see if there is everything! or? for all entries?  Using a wireless mouse?  If so, try a wired.  Also, right-click computer and click Properties to see if he uses all the memory.  A number of people have found that they must make adjustments to get to use all of a large amount of RAM.  Your motherboard have integrated graphics?  If she and the CPU card or graphics are active at the same time, they may have a conflict, then you may have to disable in the BIOS.  Search for conflicting IRQ in system information.  Click Start and type system information into the search window.  Click on the + sign next to the hardware resources, and then click IRQ.

    Check the system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    Good luck.

    Yes, you can upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. You do not lose the pre-installed software & drivers, if you upgrade. If you perform a clean install of Ultimate, you will lose all the pre-installed software.
