Windows 7 OEM 64 bit and OPK kit?

I was told to buy Windows 7 OEM 64 bit. I want it for my own laptop for my own use, mainly for internet, itunes etc. I just saw on the packaging that I must use the OPK to install it, it is essential because I obviously do not have and not was not recommended, I still would.

The OPK is used by professional system integrators to prepare your computer before it is sold to a customer and make sure that things like the EULA is accepted.

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

OEM licenses must be installed by professional system manufacturers. Under Microsoft's OEM license agreement, they should not be sold to end-users under any circumstances, must be preinstalled on a computer using the preinstallation OEM (OPK) before delivery to the customer and include to the at least the manufacturer contact information. They are, therefore, designed for installation only on a single computer and are not transferable, even if the original computer is no longer in use. This isn't usually a problem for users who buy a new computer, because systems that most pre-assembled systems ship with a preinstalled operating system. There are very few circumstances where Microsoft will allow the transfer of licensed OEM for a non-functional system to another, but the OEM System Builder License Agreement (SBLA), as well as the EULA (EULA) OEM contract don't contain any provision for this, it is entirely at the discretion of Microsoft, depending on the situation

I tried all three in both windows 7 and windows XP mode that tells me is a 32-bit o/s but I'm really not sure.  I tried to hot sync in bluetooth in windows 7, as the T3 and laptop connect but he always tells me that the port is used by another program? Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to sync or am I've sentenced to throw my faithful T3 out? Any ideas?

    Hello eaglesfan723 and welcome to the forums of Palm.

    The Tungsten T3 HotSync driver is not 64-bit capable, this is why you can't get the T3 to HotSync.  Please read this thread to learn more about your options with Windows 7.

  • Microsoft have all Windows 7 OEM ISO downloads and buy an a microsoft certified provider ok OEM key?

    Microsoft have all Windows 7 OEM ISO downloads and buy an OEM key provider Microsoft Certified OK?

    What I hear for question 1 is it a new Digital River (Microsoft ISO download service) since you can now no longer download the Iso of Windows 7 from Microsoft unless you have a retail key.  Question 2 is explicit thanks.

    No, there is no key only option sanctioned by Microsoft, so be prepared to find the rejected key if you try to download the ISO. The PID is actually built into the authorization key, all other sent by e-mail is meaningless

    Microsoft are selling more than Windows 7, all real dealers withdrew the product.

    You can try loading the latest driver available in Compatibility Mode which sometimes
    work however, it isn't anywhere near a sure thing.

    Exhausted all other methods in the Troubleshoot utility above before trying these.

    Logon as ADMINISTRATOR for all of them.

    You can try Compatibility Mode but this rarely works on the device drivers.

    Right click on the driver executable (.exe) file - select Compatibility Mode

    In the drop-down menu choose XP or Vista and Service Pack (if it is the version
    "you try the drivers).

    Click OK, and then let the race to see if it will install.

    It also rarely works on the device drivers but it is worth trying:

    In this case it would be \User\Your User Name\Camera_Folder CD and would look at the prompt:

  • Network Drive will not refresh, I use 2 machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.

    I use 2 machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.

    The network works fine with one question. When I add a new file on the same machine and try to access this new folder from another machine the new folder does not appear. I have to disconnect the network drive of the machine with the new folder, and then map a new drive. When I map the new drive the new folder appears in Windows Explorer on the second machine.

    It's very frustrating when I want to add a file attachment to e-mail from another machine and it does not appear until I disconnect and re - map the drive.

    I hope this all make sense. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I don't remember this problem when my network was XP Pro machines.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for your help.

    The I work around this problem is to do step 1 and step two, as you suggest.  I haven't restarted the computer though - I will also try it.  I have also not tell abled my ESET NOD32 Antivirus software either - I'll try that too.
    The network drive I'm seeing 'change' on does not refresh by itself, when I press F5 or go to view/update.
    Search Google indicates that this refreshing a network drive issue to show a newly created folder, etc. is a long time, Windows 7 problem.
    I would like your ideas on the potential problem of Windows 7 found on Google.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Nvlddkm.sys for my GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 graphics card driver causes a blue screen of death, whenever I look at a video of youtube for a long period of time. I have re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and it always does.

    I run Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Skype, Teamviewer, client Pidgin, mIRC, Firefox, Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, openDNS updater, iTunes, and Outlook 2007.

    This problem has caused a unbootible machine when it happened first. It stops happening when I uninstall the display nvlddkm.sys driver, but when it gets reinstalled via Windows U [date and I restart, it bluescreens.] When I reinstalled the operating system, I was able to work normally again. I'm afraid that this problem could start again however, please help me.

    Try the following drivers from NVIDIA:

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_64bit_191.07_whql.html

    Uninstall the video drivers that are currently installed and turn off any antivirus real-time protection before installing the new drivers.

    Make sure that antivirus real-time protection is reactivated after the installation.

  • Windows 7 Professional 32-bit and 64 - bit

    I soon to set up a new unit to Dell with a CPU i7, SSD & a good NVIDIA video card and my client has specifically requested that the operating system Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit be installed on it, due to the fact that it will run only older legacy there applications (except for the 2013 Office, but I will always install the 32-bit version of).  Also the fact that it will deal with only 4 GB of RAM (which isn't a big deal to him), are there any other compelling reason do not install instead of the 64-bit version?

    I wonder if this will affect the overall performance of the operating system based on the way it interacts with the CPU or some such?  (I'm talking about 64-bit here).  Currently, there is little, or even 64-bit available than the average home user programs could (or should) use; There is no any video or even photo editing or any other high activity range, much the processor on the computer.

    In addition, it would save having to install double versions of some of the other common applications, such as Java & IE 10, etc..

    If & when he never goes 'up' for Windows 8, Windows (at this point) or 'Blue', then it might make sense, but it is not simply to use new programs and / or 'great mighty ones' who would benefit from a 64-bit Windows version, as far as I can tell.

    I am open for any compelling reason to go 64-bit in the circumstances (other than the issue of the RAM, which is actually a non-issue) at the moment...

    Apps must be 64-bit to run on a 64-bit application... 32-bit applications work fine in a 64-bit operating system.  As you say, Microsoft introduced the first 64-bit version of Office in Office 2010, but they always recommend running the 32-bit version on a 64 bit OS.

    There are only a handful of reasons why a 32-bit application does not work on W7x64.  For example, the Remote Server 2003 management tools will not work on 64-bit.  There are more than 32-bit applications that do not run in Windows 7 because it's Windows 7 32-bit applications that do not run in 64-bit Windows because it is 64-bit.  After performing on means of Vista they will "probably" also works on Windows 7 as Vista has many of the same requirements and restrictions as Windows 7.

    Here, I would look for the versions he will plan to run and specific applications:

    www.microsoft.com/.../Home

    "Why have a 64-bit OS, if you're only (never) going to run 32-bit programs on it?"

    The best reason?  Right now, he has only to 32-bit applications.  He's going to upgrade to 64-bit applications?  Probably no - one at the same time, probably needs.  Software companies do not feel that they need to write for the 64-bit platform in the near future, so 64-bit applications are not always available for a product, and/or not available when him and his other apps are ready for the jump to 64-bit, in order to have already installed allows just of 64-bit upgrade him that everyone is available and it is ready to be upgraded this app.  Keeping in mind that there is NO upgrade path on-site from 32 bit to 64 bit, a complete reinstallation will be required to move to 64 - bit - potentially a disruptive downtime, re-adusting amount settings and preferences, updates, reinstall programs, etc.  Also, say that it begins maxing out its RAM (max about 3.5 GB for 32 - bit)... an upgrade memory will require a reinstallation of the 64-bit above all more memory will be used.  With 64-bit, he can throw all memory system will support her with only a reboot to install the memory in the system.

    My thought: if it will work on Windows 7 x 64, and it is a solution to medium and long term, there is no reason to not use it.

  • Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and slow down the performance of the system

    Its week Tuesday I had to buy a new motherboard for my computer as a (ASUS M5A97 THE R2.0) upgrade from my old Board that was used at the time. At present, I suffer from these setbacks and problems that I don't understand completely at all on the right, or what reasons is causing my system to the right way to work. From this moment everything that I know, is installed correctly with all the appropriate drivers (x 64) are also installed for the chipset on the map, the video card (XFX Radeon HD 6770) as well and nothing else that needed to be installed at the time because the operating system running the version of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The problem that I'm facing here is that for some reason, my system is now slowly in response to any kind of program or an application (either Internet Explorer, Windows Update). I have flashed the BIOS and there now the most recent version, and the system is upgraded to SP1. Any ideas?

    Good so I found the problem. It was real HARD drive I had in my system. After you told me to do what you had posted, I started thinking and wanted to try a theory. I connect a spare hard drive I had in another computer, I like a build up of hobby. It's only 200 GB, but still more than enough. Anyway, when about and installed the operating system on it and of course I could tell a MAJOR DIFFERENCE in the overall performance!

    The original HARD drive that is a Western Digital 500 GB took more than 2 1/2 hours to install completely; the Seagate 200 GB took only 20 minutes! In addition, I have much better overall system stability. So for now I'll stick with the smaller drive, until I can get a HARD drive more be my main in my system.

  • Pilot network of Lenovo S10 - 2 WirelessLan (Broadcom) for Windows 7 32/64-bit and Cisco PEAP

    All,

    My employer uses a local wireless network with Cisco PEAP authentication, and sometimes I use my Lenovo ideapad S10-2 in the office.

    XP driver had no problem with it, I used it for awhile. Recently, I have upgraded the computer to Windows 7 32 bit and realized that the Wireless LAN driver from the Lenovo Web site offers NO of Cisco PEAP option-> FAIL.

    After some research, I found the latest driver for the Broadcom chipset (4315?) which is the 5.100.249.2 version. This driver works fine now and I can connect to the WLAN again.

    Questions: Why is the driver so old-fashioned Lenovo Web site? Why the Lenovo nor Broadcom offers this driver on its website? Is it really necessary to launch investigations into the internet to find the latest driver?

    However, the problem is solved, but I thought I share this information. I don't think I'm the only person who connects to a WLAN using Cisco PEAP authentication.

    Well, I guess it's as if it was so. At least it now can be found in the forum if someone looking for him.
