Windows 8.1 SST w/Office2013 OEM

Hello
I'm working on a Windows 8.1 SST w/Office and I downloaded it from our OEM site. (X19-52553 Win 8.1 32-BIT X64 Portuguese OPK - 2 Update FMR)
Anyway after download the media format is not workable, this is, instead of the .img file here you can burn or put on a flash drive to install, there is a fotmat that contains 2 folders (Layer0 and Layer1) with DAT files and XML files.
I have a Windows Tablet x86 (CPU Intel Atom Z3735E) to install it on but I cannot work with this type of media, ADK does not recognize (It needs wim or img) so I stuck here.
Can you point me to ant tutorial or method of installing this on a Tablet?
Thanks
Victor Hugo

Hi,
You need contact the OEM manufacturer for information about how to deploy this kind of image.
Generally, Microsoft supports wim file or vhd file for deployment and recovery.

  • Windows 7 lässt sich nicht mit KMS aktivieren

    Hallo,
    ich habe vor zwei Wochen ein Lenovo Essential G580 Win8 gekauft. Da wir im Betrieb mit Windows 7 arbeiten habe ich also unsere Enterprise Version installiert. Nun lässt sich diese nicht durch unseren KMS Server aktivieren.
    Dieser Fehlercode entspricht "Vom Softwarelizenzierungsdienst wurde gemeldet, dass der Computer nicht mit dem Volumenlizenz-Product Key aktiviert werden konnte..." Der Fehlertext ist korrekt, jedoch nicht eindeutig. Dieser Fehler gibt an, dass der Computer keinen Windows Marker im BIOS hat, welcher auf OEM-Systemen vorhanden ist und auf Computer hinweist, die mit qualifizierenden Windows-Versionen geliefert werden, was eine Voraussetzung für die KMS-Client-Aktivierung ist. Fehler: Ungültiger Volumenlizenzschlüsser Zur Aktivierung müssen Sie als Product Key einen gültigen Mehrfachaktivierungsschlüssel (MAK) oder Retail Key verwenden. Sie müssen eine qualifizierende Betriebssystemlizenz besitzen UND eine Windows 7-Volumen-Upgrade-Lizenz oder eine vollständige Windows 7-Lizenz aus einer Retail-Quelle.
    Über eine Lösung wäre ich sehr dankbar!

    Hallo deniseV,
    vielen Dank für Deine Nachricht und herzlich willkommen im LENOVO-Forum.
    Microsoft hat erst ab Windows 8 die Lizenz im BIOS gespeichert und gibt sogar eine Anleitung zum Auslesen des Product-Keys.
    Ich habe Dir diesbezüglich folgenden Link kopiert:
    http://www.teltarif.de/windows-8-lizenz-auslesen/news/49062.html
    Sofern Du Windows 7 über den Betrieb installiert hat, muss ein entsprechender Product-Key bei euch für die einzelnen Lizenzen vorliegen.
    Der Product-Key für Win 7 ist auf der Rückseite eines Rechners oder im Windows-Paket zu finden.
    Sollte die Aktivierung über das Internet nicht funktionieren, muss das Win 7 über das Telefon aktiviert werden.
    Siehe Link:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/de-de/windows7/activate-windows-7-on-this-computer
    Ich hoffe die Information hilft Dir weiter.
    Schöne Grüsse, Marcel

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Regards,

  • How can I reduce the Microsoft Windows footprint to something closer to OEM install?

    When windows arrives pre-installed on my shiny new laptop , the footprint is always pretty small - around 18 to 20GB depending on the version of Windows (Ultimate, Pro, Home, etc).  Oh, and I'm writing in regards to win 7, though have have win 8 one
    unit, but no intention of upgrading the others.
    But software has to be kept up to date and what used to be a 20GB footprint on my 128GB SSD,  even after using Windows disk clean,  has become 50 GB for Windows, 20GB of which is just for the installer directory and 10GB for just the $PatchCache$.
    Compressing this folder, as suggested by the Microsoft Answers forum produces negligible results.
    Can't these files be moved to an external device?  I recognize the device would need to be there at boot time during installation processes that require reboots.  
    IMHO - MSFT needs to rethink it's carelessness of going from 15% of my new system to 40% of my system just for Windows in a little over a year. 

    Hi soho11,
    Thank you for visiting the MSDN forum.
    I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum about this issue, since this forum is to discuss ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects.
    I am moving your question to the moderator forum ("Where is the forum for..?"). The owner of the forum will direct you to a right forum.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • How to install windows 8.1 oem (without installation CD) with Parallels on Mac?

    Have bought a Parallels Desktop 9 bundle that came with Windows 8.1 OEM (with just the product key and no CD). Have successfully installed Parallels on my mid-2013 Macbook Air (without any previous Windows), but just don't know how to install the Windows. The Windows envelop just contains licensing details, no procedures included. Have tried to download the "Windows ADK" thing from the Microsoft OEM page, just wouldn't install at all. Pls help!!! Many thanks!!

    Hi LonerT.  I'm sure that's correct!
    Again, for anyone trying to install Windows8.1 (on parallels-Mac), just as you say "Microsoft also has an online store, which [could] be leveraged to accept Product Keys and allow media downloads on any OS......"
    Indeed, it's a real trap that if you go to the MSFT online store, it says "pay and download!"  But in fact - believe it - the only thing you can download is a small Windows program (!!!) which can only run ON WINDOWS (!!!!!), which is then a "download manager".  Which is kind of bizarre if you think the whole idea is, that it is someone BUYING WINDOWS because they DON'T HAVE IT! 
    If you read the discussion lists even Windows dudes get furious at it - it's like "just have a f'ing link to the file, the iso file".  What the heck is the point of downloading a "Download Manager" ??? Anyways.
    {If, for some reason, you DO HAVE ON HAND the actual DVD (64bit) for Windows8.1, then yes you CAN JUST BUY A PRODUCT KEY online at MSFT's store, which is great.  But then, very few people actually buy Windows8.1 on dvd -- when you buy a "windows laptop" it has a whacky OEM version, etc.}
    It's great fun to have Windows8.1 running in a window on your Mac! (See image below.)
    But again, after vast investigation we found YOU DO NEED TO GET A PHYSICAL DVD.  Fortunately they sell Windows everywhere, you can grab a copy at the local supermarket!
    (You can run Windows8.1 in a mac window, or, full screen as you prefer.  We have had no problems with macs with any number of extra displays, it seems to figure it out.)
    You want the box that looks like this .. "8.1 version complete"
    Use only the 64bit disk, throw away the 32bit disk. The box includes a product key on a piece of plastic.  Again if by coincidence you have a friend with one of these, just use their DVD, and, you can buy a product key at MSFT's online shop. Once again installation is trivial with Parallels10 - but ya gotta get the DVD.

  • Can I install Linux and then use the original Windows 8 OEM product key for a virtual machine on the same computer?

    I have ordered a new laptop and expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks.  The laptop comes with an OEM version of Windows 8 installed.  I wish
    to install Linux as the host operating system and create a virtual machine running Windows 8.  Can I legally use the product key from the OEM installation to activate a virtual machine that will only be used on the laptop that had the original OEM installation? 
    If so, what is the procedure to activate the copy installed on the virtual machine?
    This question has been addressed for Windows 7, but my searches did not reveal this question posed for Windows 8.

    Technically, no.  The OEM is licensed only for the physical hardware on the system.  It isn't licensed for virtual hardware.
    You may find you're unable to activate your OEM license in the VM.  A lot of OEM Windows look for specific hardware to verify they're being installed on the correct hardware.
    Although here: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=Zh0SiBdas5I
    Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
    A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed
    for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
    You still may not be able to activate if there is a hardware block.
    The best place to ask this is to Microsoft licensing, any response you get here, including mine, won't hold up since it's not an official answer.

  • Windows 7 OEM Version possible?

    Hi
    I consider installing boot camp on my MacBook Pro. I'm looking at Windows 7 and wonder whether I can use the Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit OEM Version.
    Tks a lot!

    If you get the OEM version make sure it's labeled as the "System Builder OEM". Since the regular OEM version is reserved for computer makers such as dell, hp, and others. The system builder version is also offered at a discounted price. Anyway, please be aware that the Windows 7 System Builder OEM version, does not include Microsoft Phone Support since Microsoft, states that a system builder must provide its own tech support, since the equipment was made by the system builder. Additionally, Microsoft changed the terms and conditions of the EULA and now clearly states that the Windows 7 System Builder's OEM version is meant for individuals who build computers and sell them, so there might be a few activation issues or license key removals if any.
    Hope this helps, if you want to be in the safe side just buy the full Windows 7 retail version.

  • After system refresh on oem windows 8.1, windows left deactivated

    Hi, Some time ago I upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1, last week I suddenly got a corrupted spool driver which made my laptop unable to boot into windows, blue screen etc. So I did a system refresh in the recovery boot section of windows. (System refresh sets your pc back to factory state without deleting your personal files. ) The refresh went fine, until I had booted into windows again, only to discover my OEM windows 8 was not activated any more!! To make matters worse, the product key is recognized by windows, but it tells me the activationserver blocked my productkey!!  I was flabbergasted, I'm an IT guy myself and nothing seems to work to undo this. Tried to call microsoft, they refuse to even pick up the phone so i figure i'll come overhere. Since my laptop is an HP Envy 17-j006ed. How can I reactivate my Windows again???!!! MJWings

    Hey MjWings, Please use the following link to create yourself a case number, then call and it may help speed up the call process:

  • Reinstallling Windows 7 oem on bootcamp

    Hi i have recently gotten windows7 with boot camp on my Imac but found that my partition for Windows was to small, i wish to enlarge it but i am afraid i cant reinstall windows 7 becuase i have a OEM version. Is it possible for me to install windows 7 again or am i going to need to buy a new product key?

    Windows 7 can  make disk image - OS and all your data track by track - of existing to external disk (StartMenu> Maintenance> BackupAndRestore> Create a System Image) - which could be restored to larger OSX BootCamped space.
    You would want to first create a Windows 7 32/64 repair CD: (StartMenu> Maintenance> Create a System Repair Disk).
    After OSX BootCamp space expand, boot (with Option key,) with external disk mounted, selecting Repair CD to boot from and then selecting Restore Image backup in Repair menus, (I am not sure if it will auto format  enlarged BootCamp space to NTFS or ask you to tell it to do so).
    The restore and original backup will take about 1 hour, less time than a Windows install with all its and BootCamp updates.

  • Windows OEM license to Hardware relationship.

    I’m asking this question in the Hardware forum because from what I’ve read; a Windows OEM license is married to either one Motherboard, or a Hard Drive.
    Is that true ? Results from searching have given me conflicting answers.
    What happens if the Motherboard or C: Drive dies? would the associated Windows license be lost along with it?
    One computer components store told me that qualifying for OEM no longer depends on what components you buy, or when you buy them. That conflicts with everything else I’ve read.
    Note- My choice of Windows OS is Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit, SP1, OEM.

    Windows activation is coupled to a number of components in your computer, mobo, CPU, boot disk, video card, memory. Up to a certain degreee components can be exchanged when they die, but when too much - in Microsoft's opinion - changes, the activation is lifted. Where those limits are, I don't know. If it happens, you can always contact Microsoft for a reactivation. I had to do that once and it was a simple matter of picking up the phone and give them a call and an explanation. Reactivation was immediately arranged.

  • Clean installation of windows 8.1 pro on Thinkpad e550 activation problems.

    I have installed a SSD hard drive and need a clean instalations of windows for development using multiple platforms.
    My plan was to have a tri-boot on three partitions on a mbr formated drive.
    -Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit;
    -WIndows 8.1 Pro 32bit, and;
    -WIndows 7 Ultimate 64bit using downgrade rights.
    The following steps were used:
    1. Switching the hard drive and cloning the oem copy to the first partition;
    2. Activate windows getting the OEM key from the system (so I had no hardware changes);
    3.Use the anytime upgrade in the system properties to upgrade to pro;
    4.Clone the windows 7 OS from the old PC and place in on a partion;
    5.Download both install media for windows 8.1 Pro from MS Creating Install media;
    6. Create media as detailed here;
    7. Modify the install to allow entry of key after install as shown here because pro license and oem keys where not acepted during install;
    8.Went to BIOS. Turned on Legacy and disable secure boot;
    9.Install Windows 8.1 both versions, and;
    10. Repair boot to load all three OS.
    Good, Now I have all three OS installed all working. However, The pro product key will not activate the windows 8.1 pro and the oem key won't be acepted saying it is the wrong version of windows.
    So called MS activation line and they say i need to contact the OEM for activation and downgrade keys for 7 even though i paid for the upgrade through the MS store and the product was already activated once on the system.
    Questions:
    1. How can i activate the Windows 8.1 pro via Lenovo?
    2. How can I activate the Windows 7 copy under downgrade rights with Windows 8.1 pro?
    3. Am i missing something with the UEFI/BIOS? (Note:I need to use mbr not GPT format on the drive.)
    I have switch the UEFI mode/duel modes during install without success.

    "Is a Win 7 32 virtual client an option?"
    What VC are you using?
    I use VMWare Player (free) and use it to create virtual clients as needed.  Typically the virtual clients are "clean installs" from ISOs.  VMWare has it so well mechanized that there's not much to it.
    It's pretty quick and easy to install Player and give it a try.  Another advantage to that approach is that there's only a single OS at the top level and backups can capture the whole mess w/out having to deal with 2 or 3 different OSs and their partitions.

  • CD Boot: memory overflow error! Trying to install Bootcamp / Windows 7 on MacBook Pro 2009 with external superdrive

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to install Bootcamp on my machine.
    I was running Parallels before but need Bootcamp in order to run heavy software on the PC side (e.g. Rhino/Maxwell/etc).
    I have a Macbook Pro 17" from around 2009, running Mountain Lion 10.7.3. 
    Problem is, my internal CD Drive is broken and doesn't read discs, so it couldn't read the Windows installation disc (Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit - OEM System Builder Pack).
    So, I rang Apple to try to fix it and they said it would be cheaper and faster to buy an external SuperDrive.
    I explained that I wanted it to install bootcamp and they said, fine.
    However when I bought the SuperDrive, it turns out its only supposed to be working with new Macbook Pro with Retina display, and other machines that don't have internal cd drives.
    At first it didnt work, but then I found a helpful website which enabled it to work on my machine.
    So I went ahead and started installing Windows through the BootCamp Assistant.
    It partitioned my hard drive - success!
    But then it turned into black screen, with message saying "CDBOOT: Memory overfloor error"
    Help please!!!
    I suspect the problem is either:
    a) Old Macbook Pro can't boot from the Windows disk
    or
    b) The Windows OEM version is somehow not designed to work with Mac. I bought it secondhand off a guy, thinking it was the full version, silly thing to do!
    Your thoughts and help is seriously appreciated!
    Tomorrow I'm going to the Apple Store and also to buy a brand new copy of Windows, I guess.

    This has been resolved. It turned out that in spite of the message at the end of installation - "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation" Windows was installed successfully but the problem was the Bootcamp drivers, it could not read them(install them) from my original OSX Istall DVD and I thought that that the whole package was not installed successfully. I will copy the intructions here as well since this thread may attract lots of other people with similar problem who may think it was not a good installation. Here you go:
    Ok, after 3 sleepness nights I have found a solution and finally have a working Windows 7 Ultimate. I hope this will be helpful for everyone having similar issues and not have to go through the same nightmare.
    Right away after logging in Windows for the first time insert the original Snow Leopard Install DVD and if Windows does not read it or install any drivers after clicking on setup.exe do the following:
    Right-click on Start » Programs » Accessories » Command Prompt
    Select Run as Administrator
    Type cd /d D:, then press Enter
    Type cd Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple, then press Enter
    Type BootCamp64.msi, then press Enter
    If you do not how to right click before installing the drivers the following:
    Click on Start
    Enter cmd in the search box
    Instead of hitting the Enter key use Ctrl + Shift + Enter and will open a dialog box
    Click Yes at the prompt and you will be running as an administrator.
    If you do not have the original install DVD go the this link and follow the instructions(including the ones from the last comment):

  • I have hp 430 laptop,how can i re install the windows 7, if i not have original window on my laptop

    I have hp 430 laptop,how can i re install the windows 7, if i not have original windows on my laptop. i have oem number,
    But i have troubol to finishing installation of window.

    Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
    As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
    If Recovery Partition is corrupted
    You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    OR
    You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay
    Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again
