I want to buy an OEm version of Windows 7 from newegg and install on my Laptop which has Vista on it now and then I want to reslick my desktop that has Windows 7 version on it now. Do I have to buy 2 win 7 copies or can I get away with buying just the OEM?
View 2 Repliesmy father was going to upgrade some components in his computer like his memory, optical drives and his hard drive which is on its last limb. He is running XP Pro on his old harddrive but can't find his disc to install it on the new harddrive. He wants to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, and I know that you can get the system builders/oem versions that don't come with as hefty as a price tag which is what I got when I built my computer and everythings running great.What I wanted to know is what is the difference really between the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium for System Builders - OEM on persay, newegg and getting Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium which is about twice the price? I know it doesn't go through the windows tutorial and all that, but I was also wondering if he was having issues with windows could he call microsoft or would he be resposible for any issues with windows(not relating to simple stuff like trouble with installation)? Also, since its not entirely a new build, he still has his old motherboard in his computer, could he use the system builders/oem version without any issues? I don't know if microsoft would have anything to say, I don't want to cause him any hassel or trouble to save a few bucks. And also lets say his motherboard bites the dust in 6 months, would he have any issues using the oem windows 7 if he had to replace that and possibly had to reinstall it on the original hard drive he installed it?

I'll probably need to replace the MOBO too. I heard if you replace the mobo, you need to get a system builders version of an OS, not the HP version of windows they give you.
Ideas?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering, there seems to be four ways to restore a windows 7 system image:
1. Backup and Restore --> Recover system settings and computer --> Open System Restore --> Choose System Image Restore Point.
2. Backup and Restore --> Recover system settings and computer --> Advanced recovery methods --> Use a system image you created earlier to recover your computer.
3. Boot computer from system repair disk and choose the appropriate option
4. Boot computer from win7 installation DVD and choose the appropriate option
What is the difference between these four ways of restoring or are they completely equivalent? How about the options in the system restore (checkboxes, etc..), I don't think they are self-explanatory, do you have any links where they would be explained well?
On the Backup and Restore page, it lists the two Thread title options?-
I read that you can't restore individual files from system image, but I'm wondering if I need to create both in order to do an emergency system restore using boot disc/or... (D: drive)?

Because I usually use the PNG file when choosing my Start Orb. I don't see a difference when using a BMP file though.
I get my Start Orbs from DeviantART. I was wandering, why do people include so many Start Orb PNG and BMP files. For an example in my picture. Is there a diffidence of them?
I am trying to re install windows from my USB however on the installation after 'windows is loading files' it freezes at the 'starting windows' screen (Black screen with windows logo).Would trying a DVD windows be different or is this a separate issue all together.

Personally, I don't see any. But I think my MUI (French) is still incomplete because there is some places in Windows which are still in English.
Note: The question is valid for any language.

View 5 Replies View Relatedjust wondered if theres any difference between hardware bought from the US and their EU equivalents.
this is specific to RAM and Graphics Cards, but other info would be much appreciated also.
EDIT: Lets make this a multi subject thread. This here is my upgrade list:
Processor: AMD Phenom II 940 Black Edition Deneb 3.0ghz AM2+
RAM: 2x2 240pin 1066 (havent chosen a particular brand yet)
Graphics: HiS ATI Radeon HD4870 1GB Crossfire Ready (if i have enough to get 2 at the same time...)
Mobo: ASUS M3A79-T Delux
A black suit.
Parts kept:
PSU : 700W something.
HDD : 350GB 7200 samsung something
Optical drives : CD/DVD burner, DVD player, multi card reader
Case: Xclio something something.
My main query is related to wether if i get certain products from the us (gfx and ram, prolly the processor too) do they differ from the EU versions? is there a reason why the UK seems hellbound on overcharging me?
ALSO im looking on advice for Mobo and Ram, since I dont REALLY know enough about them/various companies to make an edumacated guess.
