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.

  • 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:

  • Windows 8 Pro OEM installation problem

    Hello

    My PC configuration is what Intel i3, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB drive. I recently purchased Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) OEM a re-seller on Amazon. The product key is with the disc. When I try to install using the disc, I face below - question

    Boot from the DVD drive where the OEM disc
    PC boots with blue Windows 8 logo
    PC remains at this screen for 2-3 minutes, then stops. No error message indicated.
    Restart the PC in 10 seconds and the foregoing continues

    Could someone please explain how to install this drive OEM Windows 8 Pro. Do I really need Windows 8 Kit OPK (OPK)

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards
    Pranav

    The OEM preinstallation Kit is not necessary since you use it for personal use.

    OEM licenses must be installed by professional system manufacturers. Under Microsoft's OEM license agreement, they should not be sold to end-users under any circumstances, must be preinstalled on a computer using the preinstallation OEM (OPK) before delivery to the customer and include to the at least the manufacturer contact information.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_for_hobbyists.aspx

    --------------------------------

    As to why the installation failed:

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

    You can also try to reduce the amount of RAM you have installed, and you try to install the new.

    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. »

  • 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.

  • 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/

  • Driver with ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP under Windows 7 Pro 32 bit problems

    Windows 7 Pro 32 bit reports after installation of the driver that no driver is present. There was patch drivers provided by ATI to solve these problems, but these drivers did not resolve the problems. Has anyone had success with this installation, and if so, would you please provide me with how you did this? Thank you. BTW, I did the ususal uninstall and then install, reinstalled the operating system via a facility clean and then installed the drivers, etc, etc. So far,nothing has worked. After Googling this issue I found that many others have had similar experiences with these driver problems. Now I have XP Pro and Win 7 Pro installed via dual boot and XP Pro is running pilots ok with no problems. Thank you!

    I came across the work of question three years ago on one of my machines.

    It is a problem of compatibility between the nForce 3 and AGP.  I don't remember the exact details, but with a nForce 3 and similar day SIS chipsets and a few others when they had a dual-core CPU in them, they would change the AGP port to use a PCI driver or something of this nature to enable the multi-core support (such as it's been hacked on toward the end of their development).  On Windows Vista and upward, such a workaround solution does not work.  SiS and some other published updates driver for the motherboard chipsets which he sorted, nVidia did not worth it, despite nForce 3 sold as Vista compatible.  nVidia pulled this stunt with a lot of things at the time, including their GeForce 5 cards, saying they supported Vista, same with the beta drivers and then they just canned originally.  They took both.

    It is a solution that will be the kind of work, but as you may have guessed, you will need to disable one of the cores of your CPU.

    You can do this by going to msconfig, click on the Startup tab, click Advanced... and changing the number of processors at 1.

    Reboot and your graphics drivers will spring magically to life.
