Windows 7 turned off in my new computer

Hey there, hope you can help me with this one.

I had a Dell M5030 with Windows 7 preinstalled original. Then, I decided to spend its HARD drive to my HP G42 because I like this one better, but my Windows 7 has been disabled... Is there a way I could activate it again without having to buy a new product key?
My Windows 7 is activated when I used it on the original computer, which means Dell. But now that I use my Dell HARD drive on my HP G42, Windows 7 has been disabled.
Thanks in advance.

Pre-installed Windows = OEM version.
OEM version can be transferred to any other machine.
You must buy a new product key...

  • Firewall Windows 7 turns off intermittently, sometimes after WSUS updates

    Firewall Windows 7 turns off intermittently, sometimes after WSUS updates and other times when no updates have been pushed back.  He did 3 days now online this week.  Last week, a day, two weeks before anything.  It's a Dell latitude E6400, with the latest version of the Bios, chipset and device drivers.  Running Office 2010, Visio Pro 2010 and AutoCad 2012, as the main applications.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for the reply.

    You have installed on the computer registry cleaners?

    I suggest you to scan SFC (System File Checker) and check if it helps.

    SFC scan will search the system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

    Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7 system files

  • Windows Firewall turns off automatically.

    Windows Firewall turns off automatically at startup, sometimes. I use Trend Micro Internet Security and Windows Security Center. They both have a firewall. (1) I always here you can only have one firewall at the time, is why that Windows Firewall turns off sometimes? (2) if so, why only sometimes? (I don't have Windows OneCare.) (3) should I manually turn off the Windows Firewall and just use the Trend Micro firewall? (4) that I will protect? Please answer 4 questions.

    I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my question. I'm not asking for possibly a recommendation on what AV I have to use. I know not if I have to choose only one I'll choose Trend Micro. I wanted to ask what is the right way to turn off the Windows Firewall and make sure it stays off. When I open the Windows Security Center it shows firewall as YOU, but she does not have an option to OFF.

    Start button > in the search box, type windows firewall > look up, click onWindows Firewall > in the left column, click turn on or off Windows Firewall > the rest is self-explanatory.

  • "prepare to set up windows" with Windows update turns off!

    OK here is a mystery.
    I did a job with Windows 7 laptops, I have an installation script that installs the MS Word and MS Excel Viewer Viewer and change some settings grouppolicy.

    Windows Update is configured to "search the updaes but let me choose whether to download and install them.

    Now, occasionally, and not on all laptops can add, when I shut down Windows he decides he needs to do some "configuration" which lasts 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the HARD drive light is roughly 100% of the time.

    Now if Windows update turned off the coast of that Windows is trying to do.

    When I check that nothing has changed with the installation of the update.

    How do stop this behavior... any ideas would be greatly received.

  • If I have my laptop, is why Windows Defender turned off because of group policy?... What is group policy?

    At the heart of the problem is this business of permissions.  Why solo owners of laptops not affiliated with companies or other computers must be prey to group policy and permissions at every turn.  I tried to turn off the UAC and I couldn't find even a file for group policy, and again I am forbidden to use Windows Defender because of this error message.  Only recently have I won control of most of my files and folders by disabling UAC and passing by claiming ownership of my own software and files.  I guess I really two questions: (1) how can I get rid of this feature to administer unnecessary and, as in the good old days, before Vista came, just use my computer without messages such as "you don't have permission to use this...» "and (2) my second question which dovetailed in the the first is" why the hell did I this stupid message from group policy?  There is no groups affiliated with my Compaq Presario, and in fact, it is not a group on my system folder in the first Subscriber.  I'm not very impressed with Vista or Windows Defender.  I could even ignore these problems, but there is a principle here.  I've read enough Articles to understand that I'm not the only person facing this nonsense!

    You cannot change how permissions work under Vista.  The administrator has certain rights and access; However, even for administrators, several parts of the system do not have access (because they are points of junction to towards the rear compatabiility and must not be changed or your programs do not work or because they are system files, you do not make changes.)  Despite this, some of these areas can still be accessed at your own risk - you may do something that can repair only a clean install), I provided the following information about permissions and ownership (which can help you navigate the system correctly and without causing any damage).

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    =======================================================================================================================

    Regarding Windows Defender the most likely reason it is disabled because you have installed an AV or security suite program that does so automatically during its installation (and it was probably necessary for the new software works correctly without causing any problem).  What AV or Security Suite program do you use?

    Regarding group policy, if you wanted to access it go to start / search box and type gpedit.msc and enter and then double-click on the program that appears in the search results.  These AV programs and security can use Group Policy to disable Windows Defender (I don't know how they do it), but it may be there somewhere).  Because re-activate NOT Windows Defender while the other this software is still installed on your system that could cause some conflixts, freezes, crrashes, corrupt and data files and all kinds other problems - it has been disabled for some reason.

    If you want to use Windows Defender, then choose a program or AV security suite which does not disable the Defender during the installation.

    Hi c.kelly,

    ·         Which antivirus program is installed on the computer?

    Method 1: Some antivirus programs have their own firewall and tend to turn off the Windows Firewall. Temporarily disable the antivirus program and check the issue.

    Note: Please make sure that you enable the antivirus software after the test to keep your computer protected.

    Method 2: You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to search for infection by the virus. Check out the following link to do the same thing.

  • Trouble accessing Windows keeps turning off many tries eventually starts

    Problem with access to Windows-based computers turns off after several attempts eventually build

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hello

    Sounds like hardware, so you should seek the help of a real computer (not the leeks and pics store
    at a Best Buy or other department stores) or system manufacturer support.

    If a PC unplug ALL and then reinstall the cards memory and cables (at both ends) - in fact
    delete and replace - do not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies and ensure that fans
    and the vents are clean.

    Good luck its associated heat so try adding a small fan blowing through the vents to see if that helps.
    Not all heat problems can be solved by adding a fan, but if it helps at least a
    intensify the problem.
