• Windows 8 Pro Pack upgrade license is transferable to another computer?

  I would try Media Center on a cheap PC came with Windows standard 8.  Unfortunately, this requires an expensive upgrade of $100.   I need a machine that can record 2 channels OTA and read at the same time a registered program.  If this machine proves to be insufficient for the task can transfer the update of Pro Pack to another machine to Windows 8?  I don't want to keep throwing $100 Pro pack licenses until I found a machine that can do the job.

  Furthermore, if an OEM full version of Pro was used (which is apparently transferable under the terms of the new license agreement) how can that be placed on existing product code, embedded in the UEFI?  And, how can the original standard version be recovered later to return the machine to it's original OEM license when the Pro Pack is moved?

  Yes, you can transfer it, you must first uninstall it.

  Media Center - delete and go back to Windows 8 Pro - Windows

• Windows 7 family pack upgrade works only on 2 computers

  Some time ago I received a pack of upgrade of Windows 7 family (about 3 years ago) so I used it several times to install and activate windows 7, but taking care to have it only on 3 or less pcs at the same time (I went in fact never more than 2). I'm now trying to use again to activate my sisters newly built pc, finally using this magical third slot on this product key, but when I try to use the product key it says that this key can not be used on this computer.

  It is a hard drive that it had already installed as it was in an HP laptop and I was fairly certain that, because I could not use the same product key on the laptop that I could put this key to use once more, but do an upgrade on the spot and then using the key. I noticed that all areas of the operating system that could have any hint of OEM, the chance to have a logo of HP and I think that this could be the problem but I'm not sure.

  Sorry if it's a bit disorganized. I am not known in the art of asking for help online. If you need further clarification please just

  I believe that when you try to activate, it will lead you to a phone number that you dial.  That leads you to a very long dialogue with a machine.  In this dialogue, you will be asked how many computers this activation code is in use.  Answer in your case is 2.  That should provide you with a very long numeric code is a time code activation for this computer.

• Does resettlement as one of the three licenses with the Windows 7 Family Pack Upgrade?

  How to keep track of how many times I've used this upgrade Microsoft?  Is it connected to the key that has the earlier version of Windows?  So I use the same three keys of Windows XP update will work even if I need to reinstall?

  No, because this is the same computer, so it works very well. Unused facilities / additional licenses will not be exhausted.

• 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:

  Thank you Andre, everything is now in English!

  For all the foreigners living in China who want to have Windows 8 English I highly recommend to do as described below. It will add the cost of a license of Windows 8 Pro Pack, but will save you hours of waiting, of discussions, resettlement and uncertainty.

  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

  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.

• Upgrade to Windows 7 Pro to Vista Home Premium

  What are the viable upgrade path from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?

• Update Windows 7 Ultimate K to Windows 10 Pro (English)

  I'll be able to receive an English version of the free update of Windows 10 if I currently have the Korean version of Windows 7 Ultimate?

  Can I choose another language during the upgrade?

  Cross language upgrades are not taken in charge, the free update will be installed in your local language. In fact, you must uninstall the language packs before the upgrade.

  For example, if the default language of your copy of Windows 7 Ultimate was installed in French and added the English; you need install a language pack for English once installation is complete if you are upgraded to Windows Pro 10. If its 10 Windows Home, you need to install the Windows 10 Pro Pack ($99) to help add features (Windows key + X > Control Panel) and then download the English Language Pack.

  You can also download the. ISO for the language you want, create a bootable copy and perform a custom installation. (Please note this means programs will have to be resettled, and your personal files must be saved.)

• Get Win8.1 Pro with Media Center in Dual Boot with Windows 10 Pro

  In December of 2012, I bought a new Dell XPS12 running 64-bit window 8.  Later, I bought "Win8 Media Center Pro Pack" for Windows Media Center.  Later, I upgraded to Windows 10 pro and lost Media Center.  Given that I had a legitimate copy of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, I would like to re - install in a separate partition.  I was able to clean install Win8.1 in this partition using a flash drive and the MediaCreationTool.  He did not like my product key OEM Win8, and he didn't like my WMC Pro Pack upgrade key, so I installed using a KMS key that is freely available online.

  Clearly, I go about it the wrong way.  I'm happy to start again and install Win8, then upgrade with my pro WMC pack key, but I do not know the mystical incantations necessary to get there.  Since I had legitimately a Pro Win8.1 with instance of Media Center, and I my self Win10 product key after upgrade, I can't imagine that such a dual-boot configuration would be illegal.  Can someone please help?

  Thank you

  Loki

  Hello

  Eventually your 8.1 installation using KMS will be disabled.

  1. cannot use keys hacked to enable long term of Windows, as you will be taken; It's a matter of time.

  2. the key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

  The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

  Kind regards.

• Windows 8 Pro OEM update problem

  Hi all

  I recently bought an Acer P3 pre-installed with Microsoft Windows 8 single language tablet. Since I need to use some of the functionality available only with the Pro version, I bought a Windows 8 Pro OEM license. Since there is no way to reinstall Windows 8 at the beginning, I use the 'add new features' upgrade. Apparently the license does not work since it is a complete Pro 8 license and features requires the Windows 8 Pack Pro license instead. So, I make a call to Microsoft Tech Line and full of hope that they can change the license Pro Pack. After 2 hours of curiosity and the final tip, pleading for a change (it is not possible to Exchange or refund from the store I bought because the seal is already open), they will not always be allowed to change and leave me with RM 414 (~ 129 USD) in the sewers.

  Is it possible for me to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with this product key, and I really hope there is some flexibility on the part of Microsoft to help me in this situation since I already bought a Microsoft product with a higher value than the Pro Pack Upgrade. I would be happy for you to show my Bill and photo of the if product key requires Microsoft.

  Thank you and looking forward to any kind of answers.

  Unfortunately, add functionality does not support OEM System Builder licenses. You should have bought the Pro Pack or Pro Windows 8 details of upgrade.

  Your only other option because you can not return it is again a custom installation of the currently installed Windows 8 SL. Backup the current Windows 8 install before do you.

  First, create a backup of your installation of Windows 8 on an external hard drive:

  Then, create a repair disk:

• Can I put a non-genuine copy of windows to a genuine copy of Windows 8 Pro?

  Now before anyone starts to judge I want to give some context as to what happened.

  I bought the upgrade Windows 8 Pro pack which was a student offered to host my new hybrid hard drive. I installed on my previous Vista hard drive and I noticed that I was required to install the pack to upgrade the disk with a previous version of Windows. Therefore, I decided install Windows 8 Pro Vista hard disk and clone new hard disk.
  The cloning went perfectly. However, when I entered the hard drive containing the Windows 8 Pro clone, it did not allow my turn and in Device Manager it does appear that the system. There is also a Build number located at the bottom right of my desktop screen. Think I should reinstall windows from scratch, I proceed to the real system command (the one containing Vista previously which is now upgraded to Windows 8 Pro) and decided to reinstall windows in the control panel and wipe all readers.
  I quickly realized that this is a mistake, because when I boot into the previously-Vista drive, reinstalling Windows 8 became a trial version instead (with XXXX to build lower-right again). In regards to the cloned drive, the error starting screen (that require you to reinstall windows because of lack of boot configurations).
  I lost the disc Vista it long time ago and I don't have the box of windows with me more. I copy down the so-called activation key but it's one with xxxxx-OEM-xxxx. Before this script together, under my computer properties, the product key seems to be forever in a State of "2 days before automatic activation" and when I click on it, he said: I'm unable to activate this product key.
  So that being said, I was wondering if I could just download and run a picture of a non-genuine copy of Windows in order to start a new installation (ie. choose with windows installation disk and reformat the drive containing the windows build demo).
  Thank you.

  I just decided to hell with it and contacted Microsoft technical support for assistance.

  Managed to activate my windows and things work fine now.
  Thanks for the comments without worrying about all of you who responded and sorry for taking your time.
