• I'm rebuilding my machine because of an imminent hard disk crash, I will be able to reactivate my copy of windows 7 on new generation?

  Well, I recently built a machine using Windows XP, upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate with a disc of the full version and a key.  The HARD drive is going after only two years.  BIOS AND Windows give me warnings, and I'm a moderator paid for a Web site.  My work depends on the stability of the machine; He needs a reconstruction and a new HARD drive.  I have everything already backed up.

  My question is, since I already activated my copy of windows, is there a way to activate it again on the next generation?  Installation is always on a machine, I just need to be able to reactivate it.  I don't have a lot of time.  A quick response would be greatly appreciated.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Windows keeps asking me to reactivate what I did several times this week, how can I stop this from happening

  Apart from contacting the technical support team, is there something I can do to stop this problem of reactivation to reappear every week or two, it starts getting a little tired, I re-enabled now my copy of windows xp on three different occasions in recent weeks, I think that it all started going wrong when I changed the dvd player , for writing/dvd player and it just read, so I changed to the original and responsive drive my copy of XP, everything went well for about a week, then the activation window started.

  I can't really develop more on what is there without it run the risk of confusing you.

  Where exactly are you having problems?

  When you click the copy button that the report is copied to your Clipboard (hidden) - folder you won't see anything happen except maybe the copy button flashes once.

  Then return to your answer here and in the answer box, made a right click, it should bring a list of options - click on paste.

  That's all there is to it.

  The bit of "in your own thread" is to try to ensure that only the original poster responds with a report in this thread (question)

  Information provided to the sticker, this is exactly what we needed - all we need now is a copy of the report, preferably run when the non-genuine notification shows, as otherwise, it is unlikely to show us something useful.
