Windows 8.1 Pro OEM ISO and Paper License it's possible to active?

My client have  Windows 8.1 Pro OEM iso and paper license it's possible to active license.

Hi,
I think that this is possible, after installing you can try to change key in PC Settings or in case when this will be not possible you can use slmgr.vbs.
To change product key: slmgr /ipk xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
To activate slmgr /ato

  • Windows 7 Professional downgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro OEM

    Hi,
    I purchased new computers for a small business with Windows 8.1 Pro OEM licenses and disks. I was intending to install windows 7 Pro using downgrade rights but when I enter the product key that came with Windows 8.1 it gives me an error with "Invalid
    Character".
    How can I activate Windows 7 Pro using downgrade rights from Windows 8.1 Pro?
    Thank you.
    André Gomes

    You cannot use a Windows 8.1 product key with a Windows 7 installation.  You must "activate by phone" and hold on to speak with a Microsoft Activation
    Specialist and explain your desire to invoke your downgrade rights to Windows 7.  The Microsoft Activation Specialist will then review your request and if approved, will issue you an activation code for Windows 7.

  • Create an iso of Windows 8 with custom OEM name and information

    I have searched EVERYWHERE for this. I installed the new windows 10 ADK on Windows 7 (They say it works on 7) and it has tons of features but I can't find a single guide or anything on how do just change the OEM info. Here is exactly what I want to do  but I want to integrate it into the iso. Which is what I thought the ADK is for. I have been tearing my hair out now for 5 hours and I would appreciate it if anyone had a solution for this. Thanks in advance!
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi,
    Andreas is right, we have many ways to deploy Windows 8.1 like OEM.
    You can also try the ADK:
    Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=39982
    The Windows ADK enables two key scenarios: Windows deployment and Windows assessment.
    Windows Deployment is for OEMs and IT professionals who customize and automate the large-scale installation of Windows on a factory floor or across an organization.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium OEM iso file

    Hellowhen i bought this laptop it didnt have any recovery disks in the packetmy brother formated the HDD from a friends windows cd but the product key didnt work (i dont know why my bro did it)and now he has pirate windowsI the bottom of the laptop there is an OEM key for windows 7 home premium x64but i dont have the .iso file to recover it neither i have recovery disks(im not sure i ll search if i have created some disks myself for recovery long ago..im not sure...i did it with the recovery manager that was preinstalled...i ll search them..do they work)and if u have any .iso file for Windows 7 home premium OEM could u send it to me? thnk u sincerelly

    correct me if i am wrong you can order the restore disc from hp if the device is less than 5 years old or less depending how far hp will go back since so many new PCs and hp may go less that 5 years and you may need to order outside of HP support as for the pirate windows and this miscrosoft will not allow you any MsUpdates on their website and pirated copys of windows are a spell for trouble with glitched or security issues protecting your PC if it were me and i would use the restore disc to get the PC back where it was from the manufacture pre-installation 

  • Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 and it killed all my 3rd party drivers

    Hoping someone can help - my PC upgraded Windows 8.1 Pro (fresh install a few months ago) with the 'Update 1 patch' which was made available a few days ago.  It was done via Windows Update - I let it do its thing for about 15 minutes, restart etc.
    Once the machine restarted, I noticed the following:
    - no network connection
    - no sound
    - no working camera
    I went to the device manager and see a stack of 3rd-party devices with exclamation marks, all stating code 28 (the drivers for this device are not installed).  I go to each device and try to update the drivers - it looks like its going to work and then
    gives the error "The system cannot find the file specified".
    I do some googling and find the setupapi.dev.log.  The log for every device with a problem reads like this:

     It seems like 'update 1' as crapped all over my driver store.
    What can I do to fix this - I have tried a raft of things such as pnputil commands to add the driver INFs manually (they fail saying 'element not found'), but still I am stuck without sound, network and camera.
    This will be the last time I let Microsoft update automatically install - it will now be 100% manual, and done after a few weeks to ensure there aren't bugs.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro OS Deployment Using SCCM 2007 SP2 R3 - Possible? Supported?

    I have been able to successfully capture and deploy a Windows 8.1 Pro image to a desktop, however the Apply Device Drivers action consistently fails with the following error in the smsts.log:
    Driver-signing policy cannot be configured on this operating system
    After that point no suitable drivers are able to be found and the task sequence is unable to proceed due to the lack of drivers. I'm using the same task sequence I used for Windows 8 OS deployment within SCCM 2007 SP2 R3. I'm just looking for confirmation
    on whether or not driver deployment is now broken in Windows 8.1.

    The toolset has been updated significantly to support Win 8.1. Exact technical details of the changes aren't published anywhere beyond the fact that it simply isn't supported.  It's insufficient simply because it is known not to work -- beyond that,
    does it really matter?
    Note that even Win8 deployment within ConfigMgr is unsupported so basically you're off into uncharted territory and assuming a lot of risk in doing so.

  • I followed an update prompt and tried to update my Acrobat 9 pro this am, and my license vanished

    I was prompted to update my Acrobat pro 9 (MAC) this morning and my license ceased working.  I dowloaded license repair but cannot proceed since I do not use a password on my computer.  I followed the instructions (deleting certain files) to no avail.  The copy on my backup drive does not work.  I teach a 6-month online course beginning in a few weeks and most of my materials are sent as PDF often with security settings. I really don't want fixing this to take a lot of time.  Dan Hemenway

    Hi Dan,
    Update to Acrobat 9 is unlikly to cause the issue.
    Have you tried repairing Acrobat and check?
    What is the exact error message you get while launching Acrobat now?

  • This application requires version 6.3.9600.16384 of the Windows ADK. Windows 8.1 PRO OEM

    Hi,
    i am trying to sysprep a machine and i need to create the unattended xml file.I downloaded the Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 (update) and need to generate the answer file.Whenever i select the "install.wim" file from my Windows dvd (copied
    to a writeable destination) , it gives me an error  : "This application requires version 6.3.9600.16384 of the Windows ADK." .
    I already found a forum post regarding this issue (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/69cd6ddd-fab6-4986-bd70-52ce894f37c2/creating-unattendxml-for-windows-8?forum=mdt)
     , saying that the Windows ADK for 8.1 PREVIEW is needed but this link is removed from the website.
    Can i still download this version somewhere or what is the solution?I already tried to slip in some update packages in the wim file (following this link :  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn622020.aspx
    ) but no result, it seems that the version installed on my machine is not compatible with the newest 8.1 ADK.
    I already tried to sysprep the machine with /oobe /generalize /shutdown (without an unattend xml file) , but when i reboot the system i get an error "windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for
    pass [specialize]. a component or non-list settings is specified more than once in the answer file".
    What is the solution for this problem ?
    F.

    The link you presented above is a mess.
    The idea of going back to the "PREVIEW" version of the ADK makes no sense to me, unless.. you are running a preview version. Which is silly.
    Please be aware that there are *DIFFERENT* sub-build versions of the Windows 8.1. My version of the ntoskrnl.exe shows build 6.3.9600.17630.
    Please be aware that there are also different versions of the Windows 8.1 ADK. If you are unsure if you have the latest version, please uninstall the ADK, and download again from MSFT.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro, Type recovery and Search can't find anything

    System is installed in a classroom with the latest updates. One of the lessons had the students type
    recovery on the Tiles page and it should return 5 results (the other 10 systems in the room returned the correct results). This system couldn't find anything so I got called to troubleshoot.
    I first compared locations being searched in Indexing Options
    to the system right next to this system. They were identical. Next, I went into
    Advanced and chose the Delete and Rebuild Index option. Weirdly, while the indexing was going on, I did a search for
    recovery and it found some entries. I didn't think to compare the results to the other system, I just assumed I had resolved the problem. No luck, after the indexing was complete, I typed in
    recovery and no results were found!
    Since another option under Advanced is to choose a new location for the
    Index File. I figured it couldn't hurt although I didn't think it would help either. I decided to more the
    index file to the root directory on the C: drive. That didn't work, the system just ignored the change. Each system is this classroom has two
    BACKUP partitions on the external drive attached to each system. We use
    System Images so that's why two BACKUP partitions, allows us to always have at least one backup in case something happens. I next tried relocating the
    Index File to the second BACKUP partition (H:). Surprisingly, that fixed the problem. My question is: WHY!!!

    Hi,
    According to your description,it seems that the permission caused this issue.
    I suggest that you try using build-in administrator to test it.
    Also,check the Write permission on the C:drive.

  • Install Windows 8.1 Pro on Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591

    Hi forum, I recently bought the Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591 and I noticed that it only comes with the Core Edition of Windows 8.1. As I need some of the features of the Windows 8.1 Pro Edition (joining domains, remote display etc.) I would like to upgrade the System to Windows 8.1 Pro. I still have an unused Pro retail key (no OEM, no Upgrade Pack) here so at the moment I'm downloading the ISO for Windows 8.1 Pro. But prior to installation I would like to make sure that everything works out fine and I don't run intro problems. First of all: is there anything I need to save from the old OS (except from the recovery partition- I already saved that to a USB drive using the recovery program provided by Acer)? Do I have to know my Product Key (using for example a key viewer software) just in case? Do I have to disable secure boot in BIOS? Second: can I just install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website? Drivers should still work, right? Third: if I ever want to switch back to Windows 8.1 Core (the OEM edition) do I just use the USB pen drive created with the acer recovery tool? Will my retail Windows 8.1 Pro Key be usable again if I switch back to the original OS? Sorry for asking that many questions but I just have to make sure that it runs trough right in the first place because I need the Laptop to function. What would be your standard procedure to this kind of "problem"? Thanks in advance and with regards,The_DJ  Edit:I might have forgotten to mention that I want to do a clean reinstall without all the bloatware from Acer. That's why I'm using the Windows 8.1 Pro "Vanilla" ISO and if I ever want to switch back to core use the Windows 8.1 Core "Vanilla" ISO. Is that possible or would I have to use the recovery partition saved to my USB drive?

     Changing the Operating System may cause driver conflicts. The compatible drivers for Windows 8.1 will not be available in the website for this laptop. Hence, some of the features on the laptop might not work after changing the OS.  1: Since you have already created the USB recovery media from the laptop, you do not have to copy anything else other than this.  Make sure you you backup all files before installing the OS, as it will remove all data from the laptop. I see that, you have the unused Pro retail key for the OS, hence, you do not have to have the OEM product key. You need to use the product key for Windows 8.1 Pro to activate it, not the Acer OEM product key.  In the BIOS, select BOOT tab.  Select BOOT MODE as Legacy Mode instead of UEFI.Disable Secure Boot. Under Boot Priority Order, you need to select 1 as CD/DVD (if you are using disc), or USB FDD or USB HDD (if you are using USB drive) to install Windows 8.1 Pro.  Then press the F10 key and select "Yes" to save the changes in BIOS.  ->You an install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website. As said before, there may driver conflicts.  -> If you want to switch back to Windows 8.1, you may use the USB reovery drive (which created you have created from the recovery partition). When you do this, the Windows 8.1 Pro and it's product key will be removed from the laptop and the factory shipped OS, drivers, apps (and the OEM product key) will be installed automatically. You do not have to use the Windows 8.1 Pro key with Acer OEM USB reovery media.  -> You need to do a clean install using the USB recovery drive to install factory shipped Windows on the laptop.  

  • Windows 8-1 Pro retail OEM downgrade to Windows 7 Pro

  • Deployment of Windows 8.1 Pro while maintaining OEM Licence

    Hi All
    I was wondering if someone could help me.
    The company I work for will be purchasing 50 new laptops for our sales team. These laptops will come with windows 8.1 Pro OEM installed.
    My question is; can I re-deploy a Windows 8.1 image containing my companies bespoke software whilst retaining the OEM licences? If so, how would I go about this?
    I have setup a WDS server and already have an image with the software on that does work when I boot to the server, but obviously I need to register windows. But the licence key is unattainable. 
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Cx~

    Hi Cx,
    We can deploy our laptop by customize a Windows 8.1 image.
    Regarding the activation,it doesn't like windows 7 OEM .
    If you use a  OEM image,we can activate your system using OEM license.
    But if you use Windows 8.1 Pro without OEM version,I think we should purchase Volume license key to activate your system.
