I legally purchased my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit from Newegg.com and installed it about two or three months ago.

I put a new motherboard with faster processor using same HD with Win 7 on. Win 7 did not boot up, no problem as I figured the drivers from the old board didn't work with the new, so I reinstalled Win 7 again and no problem until it went to validate the license and it says my license is invalid...

Hi! I have been looking all over for an answer to my question regarding Windows 7, and thought: "Where better to ask than on a Windows 7 forum?" ;) I bought a new laptop in July this year, making me eligible for the "Windows 7 Upgrade Option". The Windows Vista Version installed on my...

The short of this post is that Windows 7 Enterprise updates by default expecting a KMS server. I don't have one. I had to go through Microsoft Tech Support to change the key from KMS to MAK and then I could activate my copy of Windows 7. I am glad I didn't reinstall. My installation disk...

Title says it all really. I have the full retail version and my wife has paid for the student version. I was wondering if I can use my DVD to install and use the licence code from her purchase; that way it saves a download. Michael

I have been running Outlook 2007 in Vista. When I upgrade to Windows 7 will I have to buy a new Outlook license or is there a way to re-load my old version of Outlook? Outlook came bundled with my Dell desktop so don't know if I have Outlook on a disk.

Just like the title states; Can I buy Win 7 Pro Upgrade, wipe my HDD, pop in the Win 7 Pro Upgrade disk, type in both the XP Pro & the 7 Pro keys, and be golden? I don't care about doing it without a reload. That would be pretty stupid to even attempt, imo. Thanks in advance!
