Windows 7 license after upgrade of Windows 8

Hello!

I originally had this question in response to a similar question replied, but after a few days without response, I decided to re-post this on its on.
I have an edition OEM Windows 7 Professional 64-bit install on my laptop, that I intend to upgrade to Windows 8 in the coming days. I also sell a car built desktop, so I can buy a tablet of Surface.  Q: after upgrading my laptop for Windows 8, which "releases" the license of Windows 7 so that the software can go with the desktop if I find a buyer, and they want to use it?
NOTE: I'm not charge what for the operating system and it's completely optional. I don't want anyone to think they could get non-genuine Microsoft Software. I do not have the original packaging, but I have the original disc and the sticker with the 25 digit key.
Thank you!
RK.

OEM licenses are not transferable, they are tied to the computer first that they are installed on the.

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

  • vSphere licenses after upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0

    Hello!

    I just upgraded my ESXi from version 4.0 to 5.0.

    After this upgrade, it seems to run in evaluation Mode , even though it had the free license for vSphere Hypervisor before.

    Why did he changed evaluation Mode and how can I get this free license for my ESXi back?

    I tried to save it and did other things, but nothing has worked.

    Thanks for the help!

    Robert

    You cannot save the license key in VMware portal.

    All you need to do is enter the key in your ESXi host. Open a session using the vSphere Client, go to the Configuration tab and select functions under license. There you can enter the license key.

  • How reinstall it securely Acrobat with the same license after upgrading to OS? I don't want to lose my license.

    I purchased 2 licensed of Acrobat and installed 1 of them on my portable office.

    In a few weeks, my computer laptop OS will become win 7 home premium to win 7 professional.

    Our technician COMPUTER said that I might have to reinstall Acrobat later.

    My Question is: How do I reinstall Acrobat safely without the risk of losing my license due to suspicion of piracy?

    Hi Shantysukmawati,

    You need to 'Turn off' the license first before the upgrade of the laptop on the other, it will increase the number of activations when you reinstall Acrobat.

    You can 'turn off' the software by launching "Acrobat" and by going to the "Help" menu

  • can I reuse my retail ultimate vista after upgrading to windows 8 pro

    Hello

    I read somewhere that after upgrading my Vista Ultimate retail copy to Windows Pro I can reuse the key product & Vista Ultimate DVD on another computer, is - it true?

    Thank you

    FLOSS

    Hello

    No, it is not true.

    If you upgraded from Vista to Windows 8 using the Vista license under the qualification of license, the license of Vista becomes an integral part of the legal license of 8 Windows and you are not allowed to install Vista on another computer.

    See you soon.

    Please note that the Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack upgrade for 3 PC is an upgrade license.

    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.

  • Reinstall Windows 7 after upgrading to Vista?

    I have my old watch office that I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, and after 4 years I want to reinstall Windows 7 to start fresh. The Vista that was on it, I have the disc Version of OEMs and for Windows 7, I have the disk that was given to me by the technology that made the upgrade for me after that he did the upgrade. It was made by the upgrade online. J' have the product keys for both. My question is: what I have to reinstall the Vista using the disk of Vista (and key) and then go back and reinstall Windows 7 using the Windows 7 disc (and key) or can I just do a custom installation using the disc of Windows 7 only and the product key for this? I just want to wipe all of my drive and start again with nothing other than the Windows 7 above. I've moved to Windows 8 on my new computer, but want to keep my old machine running Windows 7 (I'm sure that all your diehard 7 users understand why!). Please let me know how to do this.

    Thank you

    Just make a custom installation:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Reinstall Windows 7 after upgrade to 8

    Hello. I wonder if it's LEGAL to return to Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 8. I don't know the overview of consumption, but the final version since October 25. I have a laptop HP with pre installed Windows 7. I can simply restore Windows 7 and continue without a reactivation? How would this work? And what will happen on the disk to upgrade of Windows 8? I have an image of windows 7 to reinstall. I'm not worried about windows.old folder. I was wondering about the legality of the process.

    Thank you, Andre Da Costa for all info on how to do. While it was useful, but I wanted to know if it is legal to do so.

    Perfectly legal, because the machine has obtained a license for this.

  • HP Pavilion p6210y: Office flashing after upgrade Windows 10

    I have a flashing desktop (goes black and office) after upgrade to Windows 10.  Once connected, it is fine for about 10-15 seconds, then it starts flashing. I couldn't do anything - click on anything except CTRL-ALT-DEL to go to the Task Manager.

    I did the upgrade 2 x already. Before my first attempt, I do nothing with my PC - I did not update the driver. When I arrived the office flashing after improvement, I panicked and immediately brought back to Windows 7. I was able to get to the window of recovery during the period of 10-15 seconds just after the connection. Fortunately, he returned to Windows 7.

    After the first test, I read a little about the similar problem and so I tried some of the proposed solutions - update the drivers on my PC, to disable reporting services Windows (all on 10 to win), to try to go to Safe Mode.

    So I tried again. I updated all the things I can to update (for most drivers) before the upgrade. Do you have PC Clean up. I had the office flashes again. It's the same thing. So while they are flashing, I tried to disable the windows reporting services that is very difficult to do with the Office of flashing. He did nothing clearly. So I went in Mode without failure. After starting in safe mode, I got the normal screen for about 5 seconds, but a blue window quickly flashed and then the desktop on Mode without failure just turned black, only the visible cursor.

    So, I rolled back to Windows 7 new.

    I don't have a lot of things/programs on my PC that I uninstall programs right away if I know that I will not use. I do scan of cleaning/Virus from PC on a regular basis.

    Information about my machine:

    HP Pavilion p6210y

    Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit

    Video card: NVIDIA GEForce 9100

    All the suggestions/help will be very appreciated.

    The only thing that solved the issue is reset my machine while keeping my personal files.

    I've never understood what really caused it.

    Thus, after the upgrade when the screen is flashing, I have reset the PC.
