Windows 7 OEM on the new motherboard

• Re-using windows 7 oem on the new motherboard

  Hello I know that this question was asked a little, but I ask. I have my code and my physical drive. Right now, my windows is installed on my current motherboard. But I'm going to update my motherboard, CPU and GPU. I contacted I'd say customer live chat was not sure about it. But the person said I could use my key on a new motherboard, I just uninstall windows from my current which I was going to do. I see mixed comments on the OEM version of some people saying that it cannot be used on a system on this map a mother and can not be reused never on anything else. And others say that you can use it on a different build just uninstall etc.  I'm not seriously having to spend $100 on another windows just to update some parts.

  Hello

  Sorry to disappoint, but according to the terms of the license, a new motherboard is a new computer. The OEM of Windows version you have currently is linked to your existing motherboard. The only way you could 'reuse' it would be if you took the existing motherboard and built a new system around this motherboard and processor. It would be different if you had a full retail version of Windows 7, which is authorized to the user, so it can travel with you.

  Hope this clears the contradictory messages that you saw.

  Kind regards

• Microsoft cares if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard?

  I am building a newish computer; Microsoft cares any longer, if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard? All of the previous answers to this question are all about 2011 are resolutely "affirmative", they care. I know that Microsoft has had a change of heart (at least I think) regarding their operating system. With the upcoming free update, I was hoping I could recycle my Windows 7 64 bit, an increase in the time up to 10 comes out.

  Thank you.

• Re-Setup and activation of Windows 7 OEM on the same motherboard

  Hello

  I did a clean on my SSD installation as a bunch of files in Windows 10 has been corrupted, and I couldn't do a clean reset, so I formatted my SSD. I have Windows 7 OEM, and knowing that it can be reused as long as the configuration of the computer has the same motherboard, I re-installed. However, the activation of Windows that I don't have a valid key, despite the same motherboard, etc. None of my hardware has been replaced. I tried to do the activation of the voice, but even that said my key was invalid.

  Is someone able to explain to me why it doesn't work? I looked all over the internet for an answer, and where few have come closer, no have entirely been able to help me.

  Thanks in advance.

• Cannot re - install windows 7 after installing the new motherboard

  I have a desktop HP, circa 2010, running Windows 7. It it a machine of HP brand with a product windows key that is related to specific hardware when I bought it. The motherboard died last week and the original is not available any more, so I had to install a motherboard ASUS. The PC starts fine until windows recognizes that this is a different material. The system restore fails also in the same Manor.

  Finally, I will restore this original sate is that it works even fines, it is a quad core with 8 GB memory and always runs fast. I have a new SSD drive I want to swap in and upgrade to Windows 10 after I return to a good state.

  I tried to install windows 7 from scratch for the new SSD, but I can't because the product key is a marked HP one and Microsoft does not accept it.

  Is it possible for me to get Microsoft to give me a new key proeduct, after all that I feel that I own this copy of windows and I have the right to re - install windows

  Any suggestions other than buying a new copy of windows is appreciated.

  Thank your for the answers. It looks like another office of Linux for me. Interesting to note that when I did a clean install of Windows 7 original Activation of Windows code on the side of the case worked well.

• Transfer by car to the new motherboard with OEM wind 7 on it

  So a few days ago, I asked a similar question, but I think I found a method more efficient and I was wondering if it was possible.
  My father and I built a 2nd computer and bought another copy of OEM Windows 7 HP 64 - Bit SP1, which is the same operating system on my current computer. This new computer has specifications of superior material, including the motherboard, so I would like to transfer my drive with my OS on it to this new card a mother. Since the product key binds to the motherboard, it would be possible to ask Microsoft to temporarily remove my product key of my current motherboard (without uninstalling my OS with all my files and applications on it), so I can transfer this SSD with my OS on it to the new motherboard and then pass the product keys?
  We will always keeping this former/current computer and so I would be to reinstall the original product key to my original motherboard.
  Thank you

  When the disc authentication fails in the new PC with the old key, right click on computer and select Properties.

  At the bottom of the screen properties, it must give the authentication status and because he missed one of the options would be to get a new key. If this fails, you may need to call. This is the 1st time you used this key so should work

  There is no process to allow off-a key, when you come to install Windows on the old computer go through the process of normal authentication that will probably succeed. Only if you have reinstalled Windows on this computer with the same key too often and, recently, it fails and you must call the authentication Center. If you have both connected do not all selections and waiting and an operator should come online.

• Hard drive Windows 7 to transfer to the new motherboard without reinstalling

  Hey all -

  So, my goal is to transfer my old hard drive to a new motherboard without reinstalling my OS. I heard that it is possible, but difficult.

  If I find it's too intimidating, anyone know how I can do to reinstall my windows 7 if I don't have an installation disc? I got it through the .edu email and I don't know that I have the original installation file, is it possible for me to re - download without paying again?

  Install everything on the new motherboard, and then turn it on.  It should be like Windows Vista, it will take some time to sort itself, go online to get drivers etc (so ensure you have the new drivers for motherboard on hand like LAN, graphics etc. where it cannot find them online), but you shouldn't have to reinstall.  You will have to reactivate.

  Can I purchase/use a Windows 7 OEM on a new computer laptop with FreeDOS?

  If you buy from a seller valid an OEM version, and assuming that the manufacturer of your laptop provides drivers win7 for the appropriate bit of victory version, there is no problem.

  If you need to reinstall you may need to use the phone activation

• Will I need to re - install Win 7 after the new motherboard

  I have a 'new' machine unfortunately screwed up. (It is refurbished, but many questions).

  I probably get a new motherboard. The technology will be able to transfer the credentials to Win 7. I ask because on the Thinkcenter and my Y480 I reinstalled Win 7 NINE times and have now good things.

  Basically, I really want to start rebuilding this machine with a lot of software, but if I have to reinstall after the new motherboard Tuesday I could wait as well. :-(

  DRM for pointers.

  For anyone following the answer is NO (less if done by the engineer).

  I asked support if the engineer should be port on my serial number for the new Board of Directors (Windows now finds the system not on a sticker card serial numbers). I was told 'no '.

  Of course, the engineer DID. My data has been flashed to the new Commission and Windows never saw a difference.

  Another wasted a few hours back up things.
