Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (OEM) System Builder

I am trying to build by own custom PC and make it easily upgradable in the future.
I am not sure what to get for the OS. I heard that Installing:
Windows 7 home premium sp1 64-bit (oem) system Builder
will tie with all my hardware indefinitely (that is my mobo, hard drive, processor, graphic card.etc..).
So in the near future if I want to change out my GPU or CPU can i swap it out without a problem?
or HD will i need to by another win 7 OS system builder or can i reinstall my already bought OS without a problem
as long as the mobo has not been changed.
I dont want to buy a $400 dollar for a retail OS...its $300 to much then im already spending for my current setup. And I dont want to buy another pre-built PC cause working on swapping any of their parts will void warranties if swamping can be done in the
first place.
Please Help would be greatly appreciated!

they tattoo the MB so the MB and OS will recognize another HW attached to OEM PC or laptop. So if you upgrade another HW, you will facing issue Bluescreen or Windows not genuine. If you go to some Manufactured website, the only thing they allowed to upgrade
for OEM PC either HDD or RAM only. And one more thing, you cant upgrade your OEM OS to the higher version, unless they provide the link to upgrade or any special promotion.
Based on my experience, if your GPU failure, they will only change to the same GPU or upgraded version if any. They will not allowed you to do it if there is no HW failure, and tattoo MB has different standard price for different manufactured
I think if you thinking about Microsoft support , they have a lot of option, forum is always open to help. I don't know what kind of support that you expect. For me, I prefer online support, so I can learn something from my issue and
its free. TS for OS issue, you still can do it by yourself, some forum member, MVP or moderator will give you the step to fix this issue. And the ultimate thing we do to eliminate OS issue if some step didn't help is restore or reformat only.

  • If I were to buy the 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit, System Builder OEM DVD 1 Pack from Amazon to install Microsoft Windows 7 on my Mac, would it be compatible with my computer when I put it in bootcamp? (I have all of the current software updates)

    If I were to buy the 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit, System Builder OEM DVD 1 Pack from Amazon to install Microsoft Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro, would it be compatible with my computer if I put it in bootcamp? (I have all of the current software updates)

    In order to run Windows Applications, you must own the applications and, since they require Windows, you must own Windows. There are technologies like wine that will allow Windows applications to run without Windows, but they tend to be flakey at best.

  • Will Windows 7 OEM/System builder work with bootcamp?

    Hello,
    I have a early 2009 Mac Pro 2.26x2. I want to install windows 7. Will windows 7 Professional 64bit OEM/System builders edition work with my mac and boot camp, or do I need the full retail version? The OEM system builder edition is much cheaper than the retail version. Later on I may build a core i7 kit PC as a dedicated game machine, would I be able to use the same copy of WIndows 7 64bit OEM/System builder, or would I have to buy another copy for the kit PC? Thanks very much.

    Hi Eric,
    recently installed Win7 systems builder version without issues.
    System builder versions aren't originally boxed, manuals and MS phone support is not included.
    Be aware that Home Premium is limited to only 1 physical cpu (unlimited cores), Professional and Ultimate support 2 physical cpu (Had to learn this the hard way).
    If you buy a PC later on without preinstalled OS, you officially will have to buy another copy (or family pack) of Win7.

  • Vista basic or vista home premium sp1 for macbook pro

    Ok so I got windows home premium sp1 today as i didnt think the basic would work, apparently it will. I am not certain if the home premium would work though because it has sp1. do i need one without it? i have yet to open the box so i can always return it.
    All i really want bootcamp(windows) for is to be able to install and play video games that mac's are not able to. So basic would be enough for me yes? Thank you for any help.
    EDIT: I have yet to open the windows vista home premium sp1 yet as well incause the vista basic will work(i dont want to spend more then i have to in order to get bootcamp to work just for a video game)

    So I go to the city today,from the mac dealer I bought my MBP from, they assured me the XP home edition version they have would work, so go race over there (45min later) and pick it up, store was pretty much closed soon as i left. when i actually take a closer look i see it doesn't have the service pack required for the XP versions. So tomorrow gotta go back to return it I hate my life.
    I know this is more less my fault for not looking further, but you'd think the dealer would know the requirements for the new operating systems and how bootcamp works. dfngsdkj

    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.

  • Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp?

    Someone suggested to use
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp.
    Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM to use in bootcamp to install windows 7 on my mac book pro 13 inch?
    thank you.
    PS: i bought my macbook pro 3 weeks ago.
    Also, is there any other windows 7 installation CD that is cheaper?
    thank you.

    Yes.
    OEM just means that the Windows OS is dedicated to that computer only. If you sell, replace or throw away the computer you use it on, the Windows CD/DVD goes along with it. (According to the Licensing dialog)
    Just do a Yahoo/Google search for prices is the only way to find it cheaper. Or keep an eye on your favorite web store for sales.
    If you are in college and have an .edu e-mail account thru the college then Microsoft has it for about $30 US. And other deals also.

    That tells about backing up the installation media.
    What about "backing up" the Windows disk itself, by copying a mirror image it to an (portable) external hard drive, similar to what's mentioned in
    According to Malmition's November 12, 2012 Making a copy of Windows disk - Microsoft technical link request
    post on this forum:
    I work with an engineer that feels he constantly needs to restore his windows 7 drive to its original state.
    He does this by have a copy of his c drive - it is not an image and he is not using any imaging software - just a flat copy of his c drive.
    When we wants to start over he formats his drive, boot from a thumb drive, and copies the c drive back.
    This is working fine for him.
    I've watched him do the copy back and forth so I see he's not using anything to image like ghost, acronis, etc
    I thought you couldn't just copy your windows drive?
    I'd like to do something similar.
    Is that allowed by the Win7 Home Premium SW license terms?
    Thank you.

    Sorry to say: Try to solve real problems.
    Major drawback: You have not specified what license you have. Specification Win7 Home Premium is not enough.
    1. Do not compare installation content on DVD and that of on hard disk. Installation disk contains packed files for your Windows. Sector by sector copy of HDD is NOT the same as what you can find on install DVD. From the point of law, the backup use (native,3rd
    pty or by DD sector by sector) is legal, if you use it for restoration of Windows on HDD for the same computer, if you have ONE license.
    2. No one could object the situation, when you are backing multiple times (full, incremental,... backup)
    3. You cannot discuss c: drive only, because there is another partition that is important, namely hidden system partition. (Minimum of two partitions). License should cover the whole disk, not boot partition only.
    4. There are special rules for OEM, multilicenses, ... I have created system image that I distributed on many computers, because of I used special licenses that allow for multiple use in lab environment (Campus License, MSDN Academic Alliance, Dreamspark)

  • How do I re install windows home premium OA?

    I had windows home premium OA on my computer , but I believe it was accidentally uninstalled from my hard drive.  I have the product key that is on my computer.  I was having trouble finding the correct link to reinstall it on my lap top. 
    When I went to the microsoft Website all I found was support for windows 8 .  Can you give help me with the proper link? thank you

    Please provide the manufacturer and model of your pc.
    It is possible you have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive which may be used instead of a recovery disk to restore your system (and Windows) to factory defaults.
    Recovery procedures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
    You should also search for any recovery disk/s that were supplied with your pc. Manufacturers invariably charge a significant fee to supply replacements.
    If you decide to use borrowed/downloaded media to reinstall Windows on an OEM pc, the process may not be straightforward. Without some experience and patience you may end up with no other option than to pay a professional to finish the job.
    Microsoft does not publicly provide download links for Windows. While you may stumble upon an official download source, beware that many unofficial sources will come pre-loaded with viruses, trojans etc.

  • Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?

    I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit.  We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan.  It started giving problems after few weeks of use.  Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk.  Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues.  Any idea about this issue and how to fix it?  My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
    Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)?  Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
    Many thanks for your valueable advice.
    Regards,
    KK

    Hi,
    Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.
