• Cannot read Windows 7 OEM sticker and need to retrieve my CD key.

  I stuck my sticker by my way of thinking of table that is the safest place to place, but it seems that someone scratched the sticker. Is it possible that I can get back my cd key. And my Windows is genuine as well. Help someone.

  Unfortunately, you will need to purchase a new license, if your OEM sticker is missing.

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7, you can use the reinstall Windows 7 without referencing the OEM product key:

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  ------------------------------------

  This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

• Re-installing Windows XP (OEM - purchased version of njewspaper ad without mentioning it was OEM only) after the installation of the pirate Win Xp (full version). Can I retrieve pirate settings to not reinstall aps (have about 100). __

  Hello
  I'm trying to reinstall Windows XP (OEM - purchased version advertises in newspapers not to mention it was OEM only) after the installation of the pirate Win Xp (full version). Can I retrieve pirate settings to not reinstall aps (have about 100).
  (I guess I have to change registry to eventually replace OEM version with pirate version - it still would make it impossible to activate the automatic updates). Or I can just reinstall registry then replace edition OEM version? (Would still allow the applications to be installed without the re - install?) (A major pain).

• Uninstall and reinstall Windows 7 OEM on a Mac?

  Recently, I bought Windows 7 OEM and wanted to know if you can uninstall windows 7 on Parallels on a MacBook Pro and reinstall on a new iMac and use the same product key?  Do you need to request a new product key?  I guess that's not once install, but only to be used with a computer at a time?

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  You can use the copy of Windows 7 to restore factory settings. To start the process, you press the F9 key at the beginning of the boot immediately after switching on the computer.

  Before restoring factory settings, please check that you know the 25 character product key located on the COA sticker on the computer case. Don't post details key product here or in any other public forum. Please see the image below for an illustration showing a typical COA sticker.

  

  Your operating system is corrupted. To eliminate the problems on your computer, you need to restore factory settings and rebuild your computer system.

  A recovery of the system partition contains a copy of the operating system as it was when the computer was purchased new. Using the copy of Windows 7, you can restore the computer to factory settings. Of course you must back up your data files to an external before restoring support as the process reformats the disk thus clearing all existing files before writing new files.

  When you have restored to factory settings you must configure an internet connection, install anti-virus software, update all drivers from the Asus site and install Windows all updates. Run Disk Cleanup and defragmentation of the intervals.

  You should then be able to reinstall the programs. With this in mind, make a list programs must be installed and make sure you have the means to do so. Make sure you have the information necessary to recreate your internet connection on the new system. Make a list of what you need to do and the order in which you intend to do each task. This will help you greatly when you perform the operation. If you have a second computer available when you rebuild your computer system, it helps if you reach a problem and need to check online.

• WINDOWS 7 OEM SLP

  I'm quite confused.  I bought an acer aspire 6920 from a friend who no longer wants to make foreign because it is old.  He did not leave me anything else (recovery disk, etc.) than the computer itself. I check the system information all matches the model number.  The certificate of authenticity Microsoft is almost clear, but I think I got still the product key and the part number of the product.  On the sticker, the part number of the product is X 14-39682.  I did a search there continues to flow upward under Vista Home Premium.  I went to properties system and watch Professional Service Pack 1 of Windows 7.  The system compares the model and below, it shows that it is authentic with the product id.  I downloaded an app on the web and was able to get the CD key and the product key.  However, the part number of the product has not much the COA sticker.  It says X 15-37377.  I downloaded Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool and said that the operating system is genuine OEM SLP.  I called a seller of part of Acer and told me that I can buy a recovery but disk for Vista Home Premium.  If I do, and if the computer breaks down then I'll be back to Vista Operating System.  What is the alternative way to return to Windows 7 just in case I have to reinstall.  I have bought a Windows 7 professional (retail) for my office.  I use it to reinstall the Windows 7 OEM by using the CD key that I've recovered from the laptop?  Help, please.

  You buy a genuine Windows 7 license. The copy of Windows 7 Professional, you have installed is an OEM SLP license that should only be preloaded with a new PC. You seem to have installed a copy of Windows 7 Professional that uses an activation exploit that bypasses the product activation.

  The problem is that if what you have now is Windows 7 OEM SLP, then its an illegal license.

  Thus, you must either charge your version of Windows that came on your computer (Vista or XP) or consider purchasing a license of Windows 7 genuine.

• XP Pro OEM of Windows 7 OEM upgrade

  Can I legally move my XP Pro OEM of Windows 7 OEM license?

  You can move legally Windows XP Professional OEM of Windows 7 OEM [(versions de System Builder).] This will be a clean install, since there is no way to upgrade XP at all.

  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

  waiting for your support with kindness

  Hello

  There are two ways to do this.

  Most computers these days don't come with recovery discs.

  Instead, computer image makers a recovery Partition on the hard drive in order to reinstall the operating system to.

  That the recovery process says return to factory (new State) settings

  To access the recovery partition, you should be able to find it in the start menu > programs > list of software from the manufacturer of your > search for recovery options.

  A simpler method to start the press a key or sequence of keys at startup (when you start your computer)

  So maybe F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc. depending on your manufacturer.

  You must ask them or online on their website or the Support Forums to know the exact key / s press.

  Another method is to ask them to send you a set of recovery discs, which will do the same.

  They will charge a small cost for this service.

  Back up the data that it will be lost during the recovery process, and all programs that you have installed will need to be reinstalled from the original media (CD, DVD, download Net).

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

• Activate Windows 7 OEM

  Hi, we use Dell Optiplex PC brand with Windows 7 Professional (OEM) & Windows XP Professional (OEM) version. We already have PCs 1 817 and per month, to buy about 20 new PC. Now, we are facing a great problem in the activation of Windows 7. I describe the scenario briefly for your understanding:

  1. Since the beginning of the arrival of Windows 7 Professional (OEM) in our Organization, we used a clean install of Windows 7 Professional (OEM) on a PC. As it is an OEM version, the windows are automatically activated. Then, we used 'Acronis True Image Home' to create an image of that installation and used to deploy the other PC.

  2. after a few weeks, we began to face the problem "Windows is not genuine" of some screens PC Windows 7 message "Windows is not genuine".

  3. my question is what is the reason for the problem?

  4. as our windows is OEM (each pc also has a certificate of authenticity), probably no need to install an Activation of Windows Server locally or activate Windows Online uses Microsoft server activation key. Am I wrong?

  5. What are your opinions and suggestions about Windows 7 installation & activation for our Organization?

  Please answer me as soon as possible.

  The most common cause/remedy for this type of problem is Intel rapid storage drivers.

  Certainly, we need to see a MGADiag report among the affected machines.

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
  (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
  Once saved, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
  To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
  -* in your own thread *, please

  Please also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you a) in the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but does NOT quote the key on the sticker!

  If it's the pilots, then force installs of the TSRI drvers on all machines.

• Windows 7 OEM license, cloned the new hard drive.

  I'm scratching my head on this one.

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro with an OEM license.

  Beyond December, my original hard drive started failing so I made a clone of Clonezilla and transferred to a new hard drive.  Since then, I have not been able to run Windows update and I regularly get a Windows is not real popup.  I checked the section properties and my computer Windows Activation of Windows is enabled.  I tried the site of verification but that sends me to a web page that does not seem to load correctly and 9/10 times.  When I managed to load and I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate tool, it gives me just a Setup 0xC8000247 error.  I tried returning my SLUI 3 product key and everything went through fine.  I checked various websites and people say that it must be good using a new hard drive, others say you can't and others are calling saying Microsoft and speak to someone.

  Can I use my OEM license when transferring to a new hard drive?  Answer, what would be the next step?

  Yes, you can use the same OEM license, because it's the same computer.

  What you need to do is probably performing a new installation. Clone software tends not to provide the best results.

  The old hard drive still works? You might try one last time to create a system image and restore it on the new hard drive:

  How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - books...

  This of course would mean reinstall the old hard drive, create a system image and then restore it on the hard drive.

  Another option is to perform a new installation using the OEM key.

  Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. 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.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

• Windows 7 OEM Home of home of Windows 10 (OEM)?

  Hello.

  I know not if you have a computer that is running Windows 7 Home OEM, you will have to upgrade to Windows 10 Home without problem. Now my question is Windows 7 OEM Home being related, signed, stuck, what ever you call it the computer one its hardware, it was originally installed on, will be 10 Windows Home also linked, signed or linked as well to the same computer? While it will be possible to upgrade some parts a power keep or reinstall Windows 10 after changing the motherboard?

  I ask because I thought of upgrading the motherboard, processor and Ram after Windows 10 takes place. I already looked at the configuration required to run Windows 10 one computer can already perform very well. I wonder if the OEM OS all test will be forgotten with Windows 10? So that people who have there computer upgrades or fixes when come out motherboards can easily change motherboards with to worry to buy another copy of Windows, whenever they change or difficulty / swap on a part.

  Thanks in advance.

  Because the free update of Windows 10 requires a license of previous qualifications, it will be integrated into this license which resulted in the upgrade.

  If you change the motherboard, you will need to invest in a new license Windows 10.

• Windows 7 Retail Upgrade DVD ISO on USB or Windows 7 OEM already on USB?

  Hi all:

  I just ordered one of the new generation 5 PCs NUC and up to 10 Windows comes out I would install Windows 7 HP of a retail upgrade DVD.  I have also put already HP Vista retail DVD on a bootable USB to install the first so that the upgrade will be legal.  My question is, I could use a copy of Windows 7 OEM HP already used on another PC on a USB stick and install as an upgrade to the HP Vista installed first from an another USB using the upgrade button to authenticate the OEM version?  Phew!  It was a matter of time.   It would be much easier because Windows 7 OEM on the USB key contains all the latest updates/service packs, and I wouldn't have to do a new USB boot Windows 7.

  Another possible problem is that new PC NUC material can cause the initial Vista HP installation to fail?  Vista is NOT listed as an operating system supported for the 5th generation NUC PC but I hope it will at least install and work long enough to then use the Windows 7 upgrade version.   Failure... it would be legal to use the double "clean install" of Windows 7 method and then explain that I have the retail version of Vista that wouldn't install to allow legal usage of Windows 7 Upgrade version?

  You will not be prompted for a product key until Setup is almost complete. The product key will be recognized.

• Windows 7 OEM re-activation with re-replacement HD

  My current hard drive is in strange and I would replace it temporarily all trying to fix it.  I have two questions:

  (1) I'll be able to activate my Windows 7 OEM new temporary hard disk?

  and especially:

  (2) if I am able to activate Windows on the new drive, I'll be able to put my original hard drive, once it is fixed, in my computer and "re-install" the activation code on this HD previously enabled?   I no longer need it on the temporary disk.

  Thank you
  Karen

  There is not need - and no point - to 'disable' Windows before installing a new drive (or a new machine)

  Such a procedure is relevant that when you change the product key on the current installation, as no changes only occur on the Server Activation of Ms. MS senior officials also suggest that the procedure is actually dangerous!

  Unless you use recovery media from the manufacturer for the new installation, you MUST use the product key of the COA sticker or your full license to install retail package - if you try to use the key found a tool Keyfinder, chances are that it will not work.
