Windows 7 Home Premium OEM upgrade does not not after RAM upgraded FRO 1 GB to 4 GB

New installation Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OEM worked the 1st time on workstation Dell Precision 380 (Pentium 4, 3.0GH, 1 GB RAM, Windows XP), so I registered with Microsoft.  PC worked too slowly, so I upgraded the RAM from 1 GB to 4 GB.  PC will not start now.  Nothing on the website of dell, or the PC manual led me to believe that there could be a problem.

After I had already performed several tests, PC manufacturer said to install Windows 7 AFTER upgrading the RAM.  However, as the installation before the upgrade of RAM and joined already, can I now reinstall the OS without affecting the OEM license.

You can reinstall Windows OEM on the same computer. Case of failure of the online activation:

Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

  • I want to improve my motherboard. I have Windows 7 Home Premium OEM set level to professionals.

    I bought the parts to make my first computer from Newegg about 8 months ago. This figure includes Windows 7 Home Premium OEM. I had to move on to professional for my school.

    Now my motherboard (out of warranty) became lethargic and I'll upgrade. But I was told that I have to play for Windows AGAIN.
    That's what I've collected questions on this site, even the thought of service Windows (in India) told me that I would have NO PROBLEM spending these two licenses to my new motherboard.
    I have already sunk $180 in this product. VERY well, I'm hoping not to have to reinvest to solve a simple problem.
    Any help is appreciated.

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.

    Hello

  • Limitations of re-Activation of Windows 7 Home Premium OEM

    I think about building a new PC Core i7 and Windows 7 Home Premium OEM license purchase. I understand that in the future, if I make significant material changes, such as the replacement of the motherboard or the CPU, I re - activate Windows 7.

    My questions are:
    1 - How many times can I re - activate Windows 7 Home Premium OEM as long as I install it on one PC?
    2 are there limitations to the activation of the operating system, as the replacement of the motherboard, processor and hard drive at the same time?

    Thank you!

    1. If you change the motherboard, it invalidates the OEM licensing all together.
    -OEM versions allow all upgrades of equipment with the exception of a upgrade to a different model motherboard
    The license is linked to the motherboard when its installed and active.

    2. by phone, then upgrade with wisdom.
