Windows 7 OEM.

Hey.

I have Windows 7 32-bit OEM pre-installed on my pc that came right out of a store.

I do not pocess an installation CD or anything that could help me with this.

I got the activation key, but it seems that this will not help.

What I want is to install Windows 7 64 bit WITHOUT buying a new CD or using a different activation key.

What are the steps I have to do to get there?

Architecture evolution you don't have to buy a new key, but the story differs somewhat here.

Microsoft does not provide an installation media for OEM licenses, they provide only one for more details.

You have a few options that are explored here;

    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).

    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.

    The problem lies in the integrity of the file.
    This may simply be caused by a bad set of drivers of technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology-

  • Windows 7 OEM never active key but can't find discs, I can sell it?

    I have a spare Windows 7 OEM key, I bought several years for construction of the computer, but ended up never activate. I kept it in a journal of all keys that, over time, I bought, but I don't have the disks. MS has retained this page to download Windows 7 when you plug the key, I have confirmed here that the key is always good. I have an old SSD to sell with it, too. So it is possible to sell safe key with the SSD because it has never been activated?

    Yes, you can, as long as this is not enabled.

  • Windows 7 OEM installation does not work immediately

    Hello

    I tried to install Windows 7 x 64 Premium on a new computer, but I still get this error: "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing".

    I tried two Windows 7 different DVDs, including a new copy from NewEgg, and two of them have started successfully on the drive, so I really don't see what the problem is? I used two readers different external DVD, but what specific drivers for each drive could Windows even need? DVD players must be sufficiently interchangeable to avoid this problem.

    I found this article on the basis of knowledge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2755139, but after using two different DVDs, both manufacturers, none of this applies really, unless they have both missed the combustion.

    Means that the probable error, the installation media is corrupt. You can download and create a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, and then try again.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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 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 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.
