Windows upgrade license question

I hope that this doesn't look like a stupid or ridiculous question.

My wife's office is an old, Vista originally had.  It never use it because it's slow; She would rather use her laptop with 8 on it.

I bought Windows 7 and installed on the desktop.  Still slow and it does not use it yet.  I am so get rid of it.

But I still have the win7 disk.  I also have another laptop, with Vista.  I would like to put a win10 on the laptop clip.  But we need win7 or 8.

Y at - it no problem with the installation of the drive on the laptop, then win7 (that WAS installed on the desktop) to upgrade to 10?

You can transfer the license of Windows 7 at the Vista laptop and upgraded to Windows 10.

Please note, the 10 current Windows preview does not require any existing version of Windows, you could install Windows 10 Technical Preview now on your current installation of Vista and the right to upgrade to the final version of the preview.

If you still want to improve the existing Vista install Windows 7, however, it's your choice. If you plan to activate, make sure that is no longer in use on the old office.

You can do it by formatting the machine then reactivate the installation on the laptop by phone:

How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
 
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

(4) choose the option "activate phone".
 
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
 
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    85-EDGE75 L

    L EDG75-BW2

    In what order upgrade.

    Thanks for the help,

    Stefan

    Hello Stefan,

    Basically, L-EDGE75-to-85 is used to convert it to a 95 edge and the bandwidth option is also required. What you need to do, is first add button option & key of bandwidth using the Web user interface. Once this is done, you can connect to the API and use the following command:

    ProductKey [Key] (press ENTER and restart the codec)

    where [Key] is L-EDGE75-to-85.

    When she returns to the top, the process must be completed.

    Hope that answers your question.

    Kind regards

  • 10 Windows upgrade license related to the community right contradicts device?

    Straight community AFAIR says that software (oem) cannot be bound to a device. That is why it is allowed to sell them (and reinstall) licenses oem in the EU as long as the software (windows) is enabled (installed) on a single device at the same time.

    How does it plan to honor this law when they say that the free update of Windows 10 will be bound to the device AND the original license that it is improved to (win 7 or 8) gets invalidated by claiming that the 10 Windows Update Microsoft.

    I think that the best thing for to do you is to download and read license end-user Windows 10 for your area and see if there are exceptions.

  • Windows 7 OEM license Question

    My brothers and I built a gaming PC, and I have a question of a Windows 7 operating system license, we bought. In 2014, we bought an OEM Windows 7 on Ebay that came as a Dell reinstallation DVD and an OEM unused license key (which worked correctly). We have installed on our PC, but we did not activate the BONE to what we decided to upgrade to windows 10 via free update of Microsoft.

    However, due to the terms of the OEM Windows 7 license, I wonder if it was legal to put our BONES and our key on our PC. Therefore, I have a few questions:

    1 using the OEM key on our legal machine?

    2. have you upgraded to Windows 10 change the legality of our BONES?

    3 Microsoft authorizes the actions that I took to install an OEM operating system, or should I buy a retail OS to be fair to them?

    You noted that you bought a Dell OEM disc reinstall Windows 7.

    This OEM disk is specifically for DELL systems. If it has not been installed on a Dell computer with a sticker accompanying COA with this special edition, the license is non-compliant.

    It is not eligible the system for the free update to Windows 10.

    Original title: the reconstruction of my PC - Windows 7 issue.

    I will be rebuilding my PC which has Windows 7 Home 64 bit installed.  I did the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 with a family 3-pack.  Can I use a disk Windows 7 Home full version and just use the key to version upgrade license?  Seems a little ridiculous that I have to install another OS and do the upgrade.  I searched the forums and could not easily find an answer to this question.  Help, please.  Thank you!

    Also note that as you change not the motherboard Windows should not require re-installation and activation.

  • Windows 7 upgrade license dvd for installation complete?

    I bought a box PC with Vista installed a paid to get windows 7 upgrade dvd.

    The computer has since died. and I wonder is my product key for windows 7 valid for a full install on a new empty hard disk for the new PC I build or what I have to buy a new copy of Windows 7?

    Even if a upgrade license can be transferred to another computer, unfortunately this computer must have a license of qualification. This does mean that it cannot be applied to a clean PC then Yes, you may need to purchase a new license.

    If this isn't a brand PC just to check the label of the COA of the former. It is unlikely, but if it was not an OEM license in the 1st place it would be moved.

  • Windows 7 upgrade of Windows 8 (license issue)

    I've updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8 using the upgrade package (download version). I would like to install the Windows 7 OS on another PC, that aloud?

    Thank you both for your quick responses. The Windows 7 operating system is a commercial version. Yes, as far as I understand. If I had to re - install the Windows at some point, I need the operating system Windows 7 first, before I can upgrade to Windows 8.

    Well, that depends, if you were to format the drive, Yes, you will need to reinstall Windows 7 first then repeat the upgrade to Windows 8.

    You can reinstall Windows 8 using the following method if:

    · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

    Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

    It would also mean I could install the upgrade of Windows 8 on another machine if I wanted to and then just leave the other PC with operating system Windows 7 above.

    That is right.

    Reason being, is that my colleague does not fit on Windows 8 so maybe in the future I re - install Windows 7 on my PC of colleagues and use the upgrade of Windows 8 (hoping that I can not download this again since the MS Store) on my Lap Top that I would use.

    As long as the license of Windows 7 is re-installed, you are free to transfer the Windows 8 upgrade elsewhere. You can always reinstall it by returning to the reception of your e-mail when you made your purchase or:

    Go to the order summary page, you can find your product key:

    https://www.mswos.com/

    You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

    Is also accepted, or is the upgrade license tied to the machine on which I originally upgraded Windows 8?

    No, as long as the license of Windows 8 is removed from the machine, you can transfer it to another machine.

  • Reuse of Windows 7 license after free update of Windows 10?

    Hi all!

    I was wondering if I'll be free to reuse my Windows 7 license key after the free upgrade to Windows 10 on July 29.

    I've already reserved my copy, and yes I'm very happy. The only problem I see is because it is a version of Windows 7 OEM for Sony VAIO, so maybe it will not work if I use it in a new computer? If I can in any?

    I hope that you guys understand my question and good day!

    Hello

    Your Windows 7 OEM license has become an integral part of the upgrade to Windows 10 process.

    If you cannot reinstall Windows 7 as a dual boot either in your Sony or move it to another computer.

    OEM licenses that you cannot transfer anyway.

    OEM licenses are tied to the first machine, on which they are installed and die when the machine that dies.

    See you soon.

  • Qty 9 Vista > Windows 7 licenses

    How can I get Qty 9 Windows 7 licenses for Vista OEM computers & detail 9?

    I have 9 computers running genuine Vista Home Premium (32-bit 5, 4 64 bit) licensed. I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. (A clean install is ok if a place in the upgrade is not an option). I did Digital River 32 - bit and 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium discs. So I think that I now only need Windows 7 Home Premium licenses?

    Most of the computers are OEM (HP, Dell) but 3 computers had installed retail Windows (non OEM) and 1 was an upgrade on the spot of XP to Vista. Will be the licenses that I find work any installation of Vista was already installed? I am not concerned by the assumption, only the licenses that I get to be recognized and authenticated during the installation.

    What would be the best (cheapest) way for me to get the licenses I need? I prefer not to buy physical media of retail packages that sell usually for $90 - $99 which is almost $1,000 and they are all old computers. I found a place online selling 'Download only' licenses for $55, which seems to be a reasonable investment to keep these computers going a few more years. I've never bought only before licenses. Is a reasonable price of $55, or is there a way easier, cheaper or better? How much would be volume licensing become an option?

    Finally, if I do a fresh install can I take the 32-bit Vista systems and make all 7 computer 64-bit Windows systems by installing simply with the 64-bit key? This way I could end up with 9 computers all running Windows 7 64 bit that would make things a little easier.

    Last question: a license of Windows 7 can be used to install Windows 7 on a computer that was originally XP? Currently, the computer in question has no OS installed but has a valid XP COA sticker and installation disk original XP (Dell OEM XP SP2 "Reinstall operating system drive").

    Thank you for answering my questions of license.

    You know what this site is selling? MSDN/TechNet licenses:

    On MSDN or TechNet product key

    They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else. Unfortunately, no matter the conditions of license, people still abuse of the program, two key product gift or sell on auction sites. Microsoft it issues licences in good faith that customer will not do it, but I guess human nature win on.

    In your case, what can happen, you buy a MSDN license key, which carries up to 10 activations unlike packed full of retail licenses which carry 1 activation. The person who sells you probably eventually sold to 10 other people. Somewhere along the way, one of these people could have installed on a second system activated, because it went past 10 activation threshold, Microsoft has detected that he was abused and blocked the key for later use.

  • What happens to the system of that upgrade license?

    Hello

    Since then, apparently, buy an upgrade to pro w8 is useless when you have a business w7 on the key to the business (and do not know the key) AND you are a system integrator and a plan to upgrade your PC in the future after you have installed the W8, I thought... a workaround.

    I have a machine running windows xp that I intend to move to w8. Can I install this windows xp on another machine and then enhance it with another copy of upgrade of windows 8? (so, basically, I have a license of windows xp, I want to use TWICE to install an upgrade to windows 8, on two separate computers).

    Thanks in advance.

    PS. seriously, it is surprising, that I was not able to find this question in the database... and back also!

    You need two licenses for win8 to upgrade the two PC

    Mr President, I fear that you have spent too little time to try to understand this and just unnecessarily threw up this bollocks for a response.

    I'm talking about a situation where I have a system I want to use to install the upgrades on two separate PCs and 2 upgrade licenses.

    And you have not even scratched the surface of another question of mine - what happens to the license of the said windows xp?

    He is well known for this.

    Here's what's happening.

    What about upgrading the software? The software covered by this agreement is an upgrade of your existing operating system software, upgrade replaces the original software that you upgrade. You keep any rights to the original software once you have upgraded and you can not continue to use or transfer in any way.

    In other words, you cannot use the Windows XP license elsewhere.

  • Satellite U940 - 12 c: Windows 8 license code?

    Hello.

    I own a Toshiba Satellite U940 - 12 c. Due to a sequence of horrific circumstances, I'm done with a laptop without Windows 8 and without access to the recovery partition. If there is no idea of how to make to access these data recovery, please tell me.

    But the question is: How can I get my copy of Notepad of Windows 8 license code? Is it possible?

    Thank you and goodbye.

    If you can access the recovery partition on ordinary road, there is no other way to do and saved on your laptop recovery image is useless. It is a pity that you n t have created a recovery media that could be used for a clean install of Win8.

    Maybe you don't believe this, but the license key is also useless and cannot be used for a clean install of Windows. This code is part of the original pre-installed version you got with your laptop.

    Best option for you is to order the original recovery disk and use it for Win8 installed. You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • HP Envy Notebook m6-1125dx: no problems with the HP Envy m6 at 10 Windows upgrade?

    I plan the upgrade of Windows 10 of my HP ENVY m6-1125dx Notebook PC (Intel Core i5 - 3210M CPU) and need to know if this computer will be compatible with Windows 10. Because the HP support Web site now requires a scanning system to report on the drivers available, I have no way of knowing if there are any drivers Windows 10 available (or if they are still required). I thought that maybe I could send an e-mail or chat with HP to see what they have to say, but they want $60 to answer a question!

    Please let know us if anyone has experience (good or bad) with 10 of Windows upgrade for th want m6.

    Hüffer,

    Just an update... I followed your advice and installed upgrading on-site instead of clean, and everything seems to work fine. The only real glitch, I met was the trackpad settings have been changed which because of many problems, but I could attack while going in the Synaptics Control Panel and reset everything to the way I like them.

  • You want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional?

    I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

    You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

    If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.
