• EliteBook 2570p: Windows 7 Pro OEM activation error after reinstall onto the new HARD drive

  Greetings!

  I had to replace my laptop HARD drive and then clean installed windows iso downloads, burned on a dvd.

  I first tried Windows 10 (build 1511), then Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1. Or activate using the key OEM COA sticker.

  I tried MS activation of phone also, but they said that they could not generate a confirmation key. They tried to transfer me to "get windows up and running support" but could not get through.

  The first activation says invalid key without being connected to the internet, which makes me wonder if there is an inconsistency between my product key and SLIC data, (which I do not have much understanding).

  The service 'Ask Tech' at Microsoft tried to sell me a license at a high cost, which I don't think I should need because I have the license OEM Windows 10 retail.

  I don't have HP recovery disks (and did not expect to need).

  Any advice would be welcome!

  The problem is that you should NOT use Win7 ISO downloads to reinstall your PC.  Given that your PC came with a preinstalled HP Win7 OEM version, and is NOT available for download, I have to assume that what you used to reinstall a retail version.

  And the problem is that the commercial version only lights up with a retail key.  The product key that came with your PC and is printed on the COA sticker, is a key to OEM HP product - and that cannot be used to activate any other than the version from HP OEM version of Win7.

  Your best bet at this point, is to restore your PC using HP recovery media - and then perform the upgrade of Win10 after that.

  It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.
  
  You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
  
  Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.
  
  Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:
  
  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  Note that if HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/
  
  Good luck

• 32-bit Windows 8 Pro OEM activation using a 64-bit OEM key activation - is it possible?

  I have one still to be put in service oem 64-bit of windows Pro 8 copy and I was eager to install the 32-bit version on an old pc running Windows XP and with only 4 GB of memory. The 64-bit activation key can be used for this installation of 32-bit version?

  I downloaded an iso of the equivalent of 32 bits, it installed OK but when I tried to activate it using the 64-bit activation key I got the message "this product key does not work. Is it because the key provided with the 64-bit oem disk is usable only on a 64-bit install (unlike the commercial versions non - oem where the same key works for 64-bit and 32 - bit)- or is the invalid key for some other reason?

  64-bit disc is titled HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5 and the 32-bit version, I downloaded HRM_CCSA_X86FRE_EN-US_DV5

  Product keys are not specific architecture (32-bit or 64-bit), the problem is, some keys do not work in some channels.

  A touch of detail will not work with OEM media and vice versa OEM key will not work with the media to detail.

• Can I have Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Pro on two separate drives on the same computer? There will be some activation problems?

  Disc XP Home and XP Pro drive on the same computer

  I have a HP computer that came loaded with XP Home.  I have to use my hard drive XP Pro for things work related.  The work computer was a lease and discounts.  I tried putting the Pro drive in an envelope and use as external, but some files are not able to access.  Also tried to remove the XP Home computer disc and put the XP Pro drive in its place, but the system unbootable.  Can I leave the House in 'master' player and put the Pro drive as a "slave", or they will be incompatible?

  Thank you!!

  Thank you!!

  You can add the disk with Xp Pro as a slave. You may need to change the jumper settings. However, you cannot take a drive with an operating system that has been installed on another computer and start to the new computer. In 15 years of computer technology I couldn't do it only once and it was with a Vista operating system. However, Windows is designed to not allow that.

  The most likely reason that you are denied access to the files on the disk with Pro is that you will need to take ownership of the files.

• Can I install windows xp pro on several computers then with the same product key?

  I am the owner of a home-based business and I need to know if I have to buy several copies of a Windows xp pro, or can I use the same product key for all my computers.

  It works this way:

  A single license is a single Installation.

  You can still buy XP from: online on newegg, amazon, etc. or try your local computer repair shop.

• Windows Easy Transfer - Trasnsfering of files to/from the same machine with the same operating system - Windows XP

  I have my old Windows XP, Media Center Edition and has been upgraded from the hard drive because my old one was a lot of noise and I feared an imminent failure. I thought that I would use Windows Easy Transfer to copy and restore all my files on the new drive. I transferred all user data on an external USB hard disk, and managed. However, when I go to restore using Windows Easy Transfer, it doesn't gives me not a choice to restore to my new computer. He sees it only as the old computer and I never have the option. Is there a work around for this?

  Hello

  
  1. what applications did you use to transfer the parameters is - this Windows Easy Transfer or if she files and the transfer settings Wizard?
  2. have you installed Windows XP on the new hard drive?

  Two points:

  1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
  you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

  2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
  motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
  disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
  the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
  If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
  legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
  the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
  license dies with him.

• Can I make a new installation on new hardware with Windows 8 Pro OEM?

  But seriously, I have a new MB that I need to use as there is a problem with my Chipet a PCB there is some problem with power. I have not really but it's a mess now of working with and I bought a copy of Windows 8 pro OEM System builder and I made sure that if reason I could use the liscence to win 8 OEm on new hardware store and this Orginal Statemant of Microsoft saying it's fine as long as it's only on a PC. Although I found many threads say otherwise and win 8 OEM is not transferable, as are all the Windows OEM. So I ask you once again so I can have a PC is able to install on new hardware?

  Original title: fishing trolling warn... Can I make a new installation on new hardware with Windows 8 Pro OEM?

  Windows 8 Pro OEM System Builder has rights of transfer, then Yes, you can move it to a new computer or the motherboard.

  http://personaluselicense.windows.com/en-US/default.aspx,

  "Can I transfer the software to another computer or user?

  You can transfer the software to another computer owned by you. (You can also transfer the software (as well as the license) to a computer that belonged to someone else if one) you are the first user under the software license and b) of the new user accepts the terms of this agreement. To make a transfer, you must transfer the original media, the certificate of authenticity, the product key and the proof of purchase directly to the other person, without keeping all copies of the software. You can use the backup copy that we do or the media the software provided on transfer the software. Whenever you transfer the software to a new computer, you must remove the software from the previous computer. You can not transfer the software to share licenses between computers. You can transfer the Get Genuine Windows, Pack Pro or Media Center Pack software only in combination with the licensed computer. »

• 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:

• WINDOWS XP PRO OEM OS PROBLEM (S)

  Community (?) merge,.

  VM Guest PC error message: cannot configure target VM.

  Hello everyone,-New virtualization VM, so far, fortunately have not drowned, treading water with impatience! Currently, I use a MBP with Mt Lion. I tried to install Fusion 5/Mac several times (4 to be exact) all to no avail. I think that my problem might be the Windows XP Pro OEM OS, according to the instructions in the VMWare beginner. Are there effective workaround for this problem? If not, what should I do to fix the facilities failed? How would I go about installing the new version license retail Windows XP Pro on the PC of the client without having to (re) install all my windows programs and files? Any assistance at all, would be most appreciated. Water-treading start to fail, HELP!  Thank you all.

  For many years I have dealt with Window XP on a daily basis however I don't remember there being an option to upgrade an OEM installation on-site with a retail facility, so I can't answer explicitly.  Might be better to answer this question by Microsoft or the Microsoft forums.

  If I had to test it and I didn't have a ghost of the physical HARD Disk Image to recover from then I'd probably use vmware-rawdiscCreator to temporarily access the physical HARD disk as a raw disk hard can use vmware-diskmanager for a hard normal file based on it.  This does not change the original physical HDD.  Then I would make a virtual computer by using the new normal file based hard and then run the CD at retail, or the ISO Image of it and try to do a repair installation.  If everything works you have then a retail install with your applications and data intact user.  Once again but without really trying, I can only say that's what I would try if in this position.

• The upgrade of Windows 7 Pro OEM of Windows 7 Ultimate retail

  My PC is custom built and delivered with Windows 7 Pro OEM installed.  I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate in order to obtain several language and BitLocker.  I know that in a few months, I'll change this PC motherboard (motherboard).

  I know that with the OEM, the product key of Windows 7 license is attached to the motherboard.  So when I change, Win 7 Pro license will be lost.  Since I want to be able to transfer the license of Windows 7 to one MOBO to another, I bought a full commercial version of ultimate.

  My question is this.  To upgrade the Pro OEM ultimate retail, it's just a matter of changing the product key on the screen of the system property and the new product key will launch the installation of missing features to Windows 7 Pro?

  You must use Anytime Upgrade.

  Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, follow the on-screen Wizard, enter the key of Windows 7 ultimate on demand, click on, and then restart your computer when you are prompted. Less than 10 minutes, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and your files and settings retained.

• Windows 7 Pro upgrade Activation issue.

  Windows 7 Pro upgrade Activation issue. I bought a real upgrade of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. In reading, there is no way I could actually update my current installation of XP and keep all the settings, I decided to just reformat my hard drive and install windows 7 as a custom install fees. Now, I can't activate Windows 7 because it claims that I do not have a version of windows installed on this hard drive. Is it possible (armed with my XP and Windows 7 product keys) I can activate my software? Or should I go through the hassle to format my drive again, stick XP on it simply to crush it with Windows 7 so I can activate it? Feels like a bit of an oversight for XP to 7 plants of valuation. Thanks for any help you can offer!

  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.
