Hey if anyone can help me out with this it would be hugely appreciated. Basically i put a new hard drive into my laptop and tried to install windows 7. It keeps saying bootmgr is missing, press ctrl + alt + del to restart. The OEM windows 7 disk is inside my cd-rom drive and i went to the bios...

Two years ago I bought a laptop that came with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. Now I would like to know if it's possible to upgrade my HDD and keep my OEM license, and how?

If someone has a computer with extensive bloatware and simply wants to install an OEM version if Win 7, will it work without needing the OPK since the computer already had Windows on it? This would be using a freshly formatted hard drive.

If you are lucky enough to be using the Windows 8 Release-to-Manufacturer version, you may notice a problem. It is hard to find Windows Backup. One reason for this is that it is currently called "Windows 7 File Recovery" in Control Panel. Be advised that this is most likely a bug or mishap, but...

Anyone been following this recent development? Looks like, at least for Windows 8, Microsoft is dumping the OEM EULA concept and introducing a new Personal Use License Model, for those of us who do our own builds. Finally! Link Removed

I'm keen to get a WIN 8 Upgrade disc in October but does anyone know what happens if I haven't got the Win 7 disc (no OEM supplied) and something goes wrong after WIN 8 is installed. Should I get the full WIN8 Install disc instead?

With October 26th looming on the horizon and the release of the all new, much touted (already) Microsoft "Surface", I am wondering if Microsoft is once again missing the proverbial boat. Marketing thus far seems to be very WOW factor oriented. Looks good, feels good, runs great, does...

My Windows 7 Pro system DVDs are marked X15-60528-01 and X15-60529-01. Are these OEM or retail versions? There's no other indication and Control Panel/System gives no clue. The machine came with Windows installed from these discs. Regards Cheemag

Hello All, I've had my Asus N53SM-E72 for a few weeks now and have been getting persistent BSODs. I installed an additional 8gb of RAM before I used the computer for the first time (2x4gb) and after the first round of BSODs I ran memtest and realized that the 2gb stick which came with the...

Hello, I have a windows 7 oem disk that I purchased and installed on a new desktop I built. I have a laptop that is running Vista and it has come time for it to go. I want to install Win7 64 on the laptop but would like to know if there is a way to use the Win7 disk I already have. I don't...

HiI installed Windows 7 on my computer about 10 months ago - after purchasing the OEM disks from an online shop together with other computer hardware for a system I was building. I activated Windows, and have used the system without issue ever since. However, in the last couple of days I've...

I looked through the other posts, and read everything but didn't find a correct answer for my situation. As I build my own PCs, I purchased an official OEM System Builder pack at an official Microsoft reseller in Belgium. With other words I have serial nbr, COA barcodes ans so one. Since two...

I'm in hopes someone has experienced this and found a resolution: I am upgrading a Windows Vista 32 bit hard drive in a new build I have with Windows 7 64 bit OS. The hardware more then exceeds the recommendation requirements for 64bit but I'm curious if I have a bad disk (purchased from a...

I have purchased a brand new laptop with an OEM Windows 7 Home Premium. On the first boot it runs that wizard asking you to select locale etc. After doing some research I see that supposedly only Win7 Ultimate will allow multiple languages which is confusing since Home Premium is allowing me to...

Allow me, from me, to strive to convey a perspective on (Windows) OSs & continums. This ties directly w/ things that are said, written & thought, @ all & various stages of things. >> 1 OS does not mean the sudden death or 100% loss of usefullness & value regarding OSs or hardware, already in...

I have been to like 5 forums, nobody can help me. Please, look at my dumps! What is causing this? This is a 32 bit OEM windows, freshly installed, all drivers are up to date.

I supplied a customer with a new PC system and installed an new OEM version Windows 7 Home Premium. After installation and before delivery to the customer I activated windows. My customer is now telling me that the machine is asking for activation via entry of the product key. When the...
