Just installed an OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium that never asked for activation key?

I installed it on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.

    i purchased windows 7 from amazon and i just received it. they sent me windows 7 home premium "OEM System Builder Pack". the instructions say "Intended for system builders only". also says " must be per installed on the hard drive of a fully assembled computer system, using the OEM Preinstallation kit (OPK)."

    System Builder - just be sure to get 64-bit version, no one needs or wants 32-bit today, and only comes with one, while retail ships with both 32/64-bit media.
    you can't install it and activate on different hardware later is all, and by then for what you saved, so what, Windows 8 or SP2 will be out.
    A few people had trouble with Windows 7 SP1 for some reason and not sure exactly why, changes to the boot loader on the DVD I presume.

  • Will it work to install windows 8 through bootcamp as in bootcamp it says you must have a genuine copy of windows 7 home premium, xp or vista and windows 8 is not listed?

    I have recently spoken to apple care and they are ringing me back in the morning but I want to try and progress as far as I can before hes does. I have managed to partition my disk but before I go any further it says you must have a genuine copy of Windows 7 home premium, professional or ultimate.
    I have windows 8 and this is not listed here. will it work?
    It is quite an old mac but running 10.6.8.
    Please help
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Windows 8 also works, but only with compatible Macs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that you can also install Windows 8 in non-supported Macs by Apple, but you will not be able to install the Windows support software.
    As you have got Mac OS X Snow Leopard and after checking that your Mac supports Windows 8, you need to download the Windows support software from this website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

    Hi,
    Just wanted to know if there are any problems installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?
    Planning to purchase a laptop that comes with the OEM license and plan to use 64-bit OS to maximize the 8GB RAM of memory. Just afraid if there are known issues for this type of installations.
    Thanks

    No issues.
    On the contrary, subject to the image(s) being edited, Photoshop will thrive in a 64 bit Win 7 machine given the right tweaks.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    Be aware that two versions of Photoshop will be installed 32 bit and 64 bit. The 32 bit is there for legacy reasons with some plugins e.g. TWAIN scanner

  • Installing Hyper-v manager on windows 7 home premium ?

    hello,
    Can i install hyper-v manager on windows 7 home premium ??
    Thanks

    No, to install the Hyper-V manager you need to install the RSAT tools (http://blogs.technet.com/b/schadinio/archive/2010/07/09/installing-hyper-v-manager-on-windows-7.aspx),
    and those are only available for Windows 7 Pro, Enterprise and Ultimate as mentioned here

  • Can I install and use XE on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit?

    I would like to install Oracle XE as a learning tool but have Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit which I see in the installation guide is not supported. I guess the answer therefore is to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional which the XE Installation Guide says is supported.
    I have checked various forums and there seems to be some varying opinions on this. Before I go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, can someone advise the best course of action please?

    Good luck, managing the rdbms has many challenges.
    The full 11g documentation can be quite helpful, even though XE has a subset of the SE or EE options, and going through the XE 2-Day DBA pages is good reading as well.

  • Rich Copy with Windows 7 Home Premium

    I am trying to use Rich Copy v4.0 with Windows 7 Home Premium and am getting a security error (access to files).
    I am only the user of the machine, and have administrative rights.  Does this utility works with the OS?
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    The compatibility of Rich Copy with Windows 7 is unknown.  It was published when Windows 7 was still in Beta testing and there is no mention of compatibility with any version of Windows.

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems like VS itself problem, you can try to repair this program through Control Panel for test. If no use, it would be better to post your question at VS forum for further assistance.

  • I am having problems installing an oem copy of windows 8 pro on my 2012 mbp.

    I used boot camp to create a windows partition. Once i started the windows install process and format the drive, the installer says that windows cannot use the partition because it is not a gpt partition. I have followed and reviewed the boot camp manual, but there is no troubleshooting guide to resolve the issue. Any assistance would be apreciated.
    Regards.

    Found it in the threads, use the windows option when booting, not the efi. I tried this when trying to install the frist time, but the windows installer did notmload properly. Should have known to try it again, but at least windows 8 is installed and working now.

  • Can't install itunes 10.4 on Windows 7 home premium

    I am not highly technical, so please bear with me:
    After repeatedly being unable to update itunes 10.2, I thought I should just uninstall it and install itunes 10.4. Wow, what a mistake. After many hours I now can't run my MS Office programs AND I can't load or run itunes.
    Originally, while trying to update itunes, I kept getting the message "errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose tools > download only and try installing manually." This confused me as I could not find "tools."
    After some reading online, I decided what I should do is download the Windows Installer clean up tool. Apparently this was the BIG mistake. I selected Apple items to remove with msicuu.exe, only to find that now my MS Office 2010 programs no longer run ("Microsoft Office not installed for this user"), and I still can't install itunes.
    I tried installing itunes 10.2 and got a message that I must install a 32-bit version of itunes.
    I used the cleanup tool once again and tried to install itunes 10.4, and got the message: could not open key: UNKNOWN\components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\6A262021B4A79884EA585F5E86D 86338. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.
    Now when I try to run MS Office software, getting message "Preparing to install", then, Configuring Microsoft Office Professional Plus, then something about the program not being installed for this user (I'm the only user).
    I realize that this board probably can't help me with MS Office software, but can you help me with itunes?
