Windows 7 Pro Full Retail Edition - building a new 64-bit machine.

I installed and registered Win 7 Pro on a 32-bit computer. I have the full retail version, which includes a 32 and 64-bit installation cd

Now, I want to build a machine separate 64 bit of all new components. I would like to install the 64 bit, Win 7 Pro just to the point where I can check that the construction of material and install Win 7 Pro worked.  I should be able to do it from the 64-bit installation CD.

When a system of work is done, I can remove my 32-bit computer, install the software on my 64-bit computer and switch the recording of my 32-bit to my new install Win 7 64-bit.

When I did my 32-bit installation on my current machine, I think I got a 30-day grace period to register for my 32-bit installation of Windows 7.

This strategy works? Is there a grace period of 30 days? Who should I contact at Microsoft to move to the record?

It would be helpful to know what version of W7's retail, you have (?)

For example, I have W7 Pro retail.

The COA license key is good for installation on my computer or any other 'one' computer.

With retail W7 pro, I can use it to upgrade to a new computer, if my old one died or I just want a new computer (the old OS is more usable however).

If the HARD disk drive dies I can replace the HARD drive and reinstall without worries.

I can install 32-bit and in a year I can change to 64-bit (and vice versa if I want). There is no time limit on this for 30 days.

There is a period of 30 days at the entrance of the key to the COA on the 32 bit or 64 bit OS, and not on the ability to switch.  32-bit is certainly 'old technology' now and also really limits your choice of 3 GB usable RAM Max!

If your building a new computer, see my article "pinned" Tech PC first about 'breadboarding' a new build :)

New generation of computer? Test the material first.

  • Windows 8 people's Republic of CHINA (unilingual OEM version in simplified Chinese) can be upgraded to Windows 8 Pro * full * English?

    I bought a Dell XPS One 2710 in China that came pre-installed with Windows 8 RPC. It seems that it is a unique language locked in simplified Chinese version.

    The standard procedure to add another language changes only partially certain interfaces of applications in English, but the operating system is always in Chinese.

    I think so

    1 - is the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with Windows 8 Pro Pack as described here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

    2 - or buy a Windows 8 Pro System Builder and just reinstall

    Solution 1 is my favorite option, I want to keep the existing configuration and the Dell applications.

    Does anyone have experience making 1 or 2?

    Thank you.

    You should upgrade to Windows 8 Pro in Chinese, then you can download the English Language Pack for free:

    Windows 8 CPP that comes pre-installed on all computers OEM in China is locked with simplified Chinese only to the language of the OS.

    You can buy Windows 8 Pro Pack, which upgrades the CPP of 8 Windows preinstalled on your new computer to a full-blown Windows 8 Pro with Media Center

    Start the upgrade using the following screenshots

    You will need an address in China and turn off your VPN before you start the upgrade.

    There is only one choice of product to buy the Windows 8 Pro Pack.

    The update took a few hours of downloading so start at night and sleep at home.

    After the upgrade you have Windows 8 Pro with Media Center always configured with Chinese as their main language.

    You need then download and install the English language according to these screenshots pack

    The US English language pack is 154 MB and may take a few hours to download as well.

    Restart, then return to the screen of language making English as your primary language, as described in these screenshots

    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5853-display-language-change-Windows-8-a.html

    Reboot again, and voila!

    PS: after upgrading your Windows 8 Pro is activated automatically with the new product ID, but you haven't lost all common applications of OEM and warranty (Dell in my case).

    You always connect to the app store Windows of China and are able to install apps * except * those made specifically by the OEM. In my case, there are only a few and I can't install Renren for Dell for example, but there is also another version not OEM in the app store.

    This limitation is explicitly mentioned in the notes here, and I confirm.

    OEM applications that I have installed upgrading are still there and working, then you might want to install everything before the upgrade.

  • How can you tell the difference between Microsoft Windows 8 Pro Full version and upgrade?

    For previous versions of Windows, for example, Windows 7, it was very easy.  Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade has 'Upgrade' printed on the outside the box in the upper right, as well as on the discs themselves, while the full version does not work.

    See here for example of the box: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/193/e/0/Windows_7_Ultimate_upgrade_by_LucasVN.jpg

    For examples of records, see here: http://headsetchatter.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/snapshot-1283367118.977272.jpg, - http://www.microsoftcheapsoftware.com/ekmps/shops/samehxm/images/microsoft-windows-7-ultimate-sp1-upgrade-[3] 148 - p.jpg

    With Windows 8 Pro, I can't find any distinctive feature.  I bought the full version and upgrade of Windows 8 Pro, but after their installation on several dozen calculates, I lost track of which boxes and discs are which.  And there seems to be no way to understand who is who...

    There is never any full retail versions of Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro box. Only Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro OEM System Builder licenses were full versions. It's the best way to confirm.

    Since the release of Windows 8.1, in retail box copies are full versions.

  • Windows 8 Pro shows Test Mode Build 9200 above the clock even after activation

    Hello

    After the release of Windows 8, I upgraded my Windows 7 Ultimate for Windows 8 Pro by purchasing a key online from Microsoft. I activated my copy of Windows 8, but on the desktop at the bottom on the right (above the clock), it says "Test Mode Windows 8 Pro Build 9200. Is there a way to solve this? Or I use a test version of Windows 8, even if I purchased an upgrade license?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    In addition to the post of ikrstic, I tested orders bcdedit and if TESTSIGNING turned on I saw the Test Mode notification as well right.  Using the bcdedit command turn off should solve the problem.  Make sure that you run this as Administrator:

    Go to your desktop and right click in the lower left corner

    Click prompt (Admin)

    Flashing cursor type: bcdedit - set off the TESTSIGNING

    Press enter

    To restart, press Windows key + C to get to the bar of charms

    Click settings

    Click Power

    Click on restart

  • upggrading a windows xp pro service pack 3 with the new card mother and pure install using the original disk of xp with service pack 2

    I have an auto build Windows XP pro with service pack 3 that is upwards and I feel the need to upgrade to a new motherboard and processor causes memory and I know that when I do a clean install with my original disk, I lose service pack 3 that will then lose me the Microsoft support is anyway that I can backup service pack 3 for use with what will be considered a brand new computer

    See you soon

    The site is authentic.  You have two options when you do your relocation:

    Method 1

    1. Download SP3 form the Microsoft site and burn it to a cd or copy it to a flash drive.
    2. Reinstall Windows with your original Windows XP CD.
    3. Use the copy of SP3 that you burned on the CD or copied to the flash drive and update the machine to SP3.  Note that if you have an original CD of 'gold' of Windows XP without service pack that you install SP1a or SP2 before you install SP3, SP2 is available here , download and save it with SP3 before making your relocation.

    Method 2

    1. Download SP3 from the Microsoft site and it wake to your Windows XP CD.
    2. Install Windows XP with your slipstreamed CD and your installation will be in SP3, when installation is complete you will not need to install service packs, you'll just have to do some other updates that have been released after SP3.

    The http://lifehacker.com/386526/slipstream-service-pack-3-into-your-windows-xp-installation-cd is legitimate, it only gives you instructions on how to create and burn a CD of SP3 slipstreamed Windows XP.  If this seems too daunting then use method 1 to install Windows.

    Both methods are very good but method 2 allows a nicer cleaner installation, everything is installed to SP3 level and there are no remnants of previous service packs.  While creating the slipstreamed CD may appear to be a time consuming task, in the end, it will be a time saver and afterwards if you ever have problems with the installation of Windows you may need this cd SP3 slipstreamed to all repairs on the installation.  You can create the SP3 cd now and do it ready and at hand for future needs.

  • Windows 7 Pro update is not after the new installation

    I know that this question is asked many times, but I tried pretty much everything that is suggested and nothing seems to work, some worked for others, but they have not worked for me.

    I have replaced a failed hard drive on a Lenovo X 200 an old laptop that I was giving away he a son of friends who needed just for the College.

    I stuck in an SSD and saw genuine window 7 Pro licenses as was previously on Vista, I made a new installation as I've done a hundred times before, and then as always update windows first, but I'm just update Windows scroll bar I left it all night nothing happened.

    I tried using the Microsoft Easy Fix times nothing.

    I tried Windows Update Agent still nothing.

    I tried a suggestion here that seemed to have worked for others install (KB3102810) I did as stated on this occasion, he worked told him there are 225 updates and 18 in option more, I jumped in option one it seemed to work very well it installed just 13 with the lack of rest I restarted as requested but recede in windows it says Windows is up to date, that was impossible.

    I clicked on update again and it does what it was originally just to get the scroll bar that I left for hours and nothing, this is seriously my head in, I think that Microsoft is not going like it the impression that I'm being bullied by installing Win 10 and the person wants to win 10 , because they prefer to Win 7.

    Please could someone help me on this pickle was on this thing now for almost 2 days of installation then put in solid form and re install all to nothing does not.

  • Downgrade to Windows XP Pro Sp2, x 86 Vista Home Premium 64-bit

    I tried, but I have not simply can't work with Windows Vista. I have to downgrade to Windows XP.

    I have a new laptop HP HDX X18t with a Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz processor (with the last correspondent chipset Intel?)
    4 GB ram ddr3
    Hewlett-Packard Bios F.20, 05/01/2008
    SM Bios version 2.4
    Hardware Abstraction Layer version = "6.0.6002.18005".

    It has the configuration of the hard drive dual option factory. I have removed the C: plant and it will save way later. I then moved
    the 2nd hard drive to the place where the used to be C:. Set startup to boot from the dvd drive for a cool XP with sp2 install.
    This laptop keeps me to install Windows XP, XP sp2, XP with sp3, XP even with Vista Theme.
    I have the factory supplied Vista Home Premium 64-bit dvd disc, and Yes, this will install flawlessly from start to finish
    without ANY problem at all. Hard drives are sata2. I tried to install XP with versions with special sata drivers
    included in the installation cd. No go. Even made several versions of XP sp2 with "simplified" in sata drivers
    the installation cd. Same thing. No go. (no go = blue screen of death)

    I really wish can I downgrad my Windows 7 Pro to the edition of hospitality, every step of the way, it gives me headaches with Access Denied, so much time and so frustrating, is that this conversion is possible anyway? Considering the hours I need to clean the registry from a program that could not be uninstalled manually, except sometimes it won't let me even delete entries and you can understand my frustration with this Pro edition.

    Decommissioning will not solve the problem. You must resolve all that is initially denied access issues now.

    One option is to reset your default security permissions by running the following command:

    If this does not resolve the problem, your installation can be irreparably and the only other option is to reinstall them all. As you may know, there is a recovery disk. If it has not been provided, you will need to contact your employer who sold you the computer.
