• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 "Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD" upgrade

  We have a Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 (bought on 23-11-09) that came with Vista Business 32-bit installed, but has been downgraded (using the provided diskette) to Windows XP due to the demands of corporate network.

  When Windows 7 became available, I bought the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Toshiba provided so that if the company decided to upgrade to the new operating system, we could do it on this laptop.

  That's what I tried recently to discover that we can't do as the DVD is for Win Vista upgrade Windows 7 Pro. What is the best way to upgrade without having to buy another drive to upgrade. I have a set of recovery disks for an another Toshiba SatellitePro A300 - 2 4 which was bought about 2 months before this one. These were created using the Toshiba recovery software before any changes have been made on the laprop. Would I be able to restore the system to its state of Windows Vista using these disks and then use the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD to make the upgarde?

  Suggestions or recommendations would be greatly received.

  This upgrade package offered by Toshiba is upgraded from Vista to Win7. So if you want to use it, you must install Vista recovery image at first.

  After that, you can upgrade pre-installed Vista to Win7 following the Toshiba s implementation instructions.
  I did the same thing my Qosmio X 300.

  If you cannot use created recovery disc either s order Toshiba Vista recovery disk or (perhaps the best solution) install the clean version of Win7. A300 is fully supported for Win7 and you can download all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.

• 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 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:

• Adobe Acrobat X Pro OEM and Windows 10 1

  I run Windows 10. All versions of Adobe Acrobat X 1 Pro OEM work with this version of Windows.  If at some point in the future, I want to upgrade to Acrobat Pro DC or standard can I then use the upgrade pack to install and run Acrobat DC or I have to buy the complete package.  Thank you very much, Martin

  I have a small note to prudence. I guess you found a good deal with a person selling Acrobat XI OEM cheap. Here are a few thoughts on this.

  1 adobe has ever done an OEM version to be sold separately.

  2. many OEM companies are just selling software counterfeit; the reference to the OEM is just to make the price seem plausible.

  3. fake software often includes malware.

  4. fake software stops often works as manufacturer blocks a way to pirate and the upgrade may fail (or software upgrade can fail later).

  5. These are large companies, fake software. As a double bonus, they find themselves with your credit card details.

• 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.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  New installation Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OEM worked the 1st time on workstation Dell Precision 380 (Pentium 4, 3.0GH, 1 GB RAM, Windows XP), so I registered with Microsoft.  PC worked too slowly, so I upgraded the RAM from 1 GB to 4 GB.  PC will not start now.  Nothing on the website of dell, or the PC manual led me to believe that there could be a problem.

  After I had already performed several tests, PC manufacturer said to install Windows 7 AFTER upgrading the RAM.  However, as the installation before the upgrade of RAM and joined already, can I now reinstall the OS without affecting the OEM license.

  You can not. An OEM copy is forever linked to the first computer on which it is installed.

  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.

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?

  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. »
