Windows 7 disk image iso install#
If you use a generic OEM install DVD of Windows you can enter your OEM COA and it will activate. I know that MS has pretty much always said that downgrade rights mean you provide media.ģ) Retail? I didn't see a mention of retail. It's only custom DVDs that will cause trouble.Ģ) I guess I missed that. Certainly a Dell Windows DVD will work with any Dell machine. not the same as a retail, but give it a whirl. 1) I was talking about Factory Restore disks, not just a Windows DVD. not the same as a retail, but give it a whirl. Item 2: early on, a downgraded system came with BOTH disk sets, they stopped a few months ago I noticed Toshiba, at least on the consumer side, still does a similar method that can be a real pain in the butt and the last two I did had to run over night to complete. HP played around with a similar process in the XP days and quickly canned that concept.

the application and driver disk is the only one that differs and is pointless to use. Item 1: A Dell or HP recovery disk is the same across all models. They won't auto activate based on the BIOS key because the media is generic, not manufacturer specific, but as long as there is a valid 25 digit COA typed into the machine it will activate just fine. It's up to you to supply the 7 media, if needed.Īlso, i want to add that none of the solutions listed (besides mine of course) will activate. Because it's an 8 machine you get the 8 media.
That's how the licensing with MS works - it's a Windows 8 machine that's been downgraded to 7. The new pro systems ship with disc, but even if you order a Win7 unit, it only comes with the Win8 disc. Recovery disks for one model are made for that model, not for other models.
Yes, that's pretty much always been true. On top of that, you can't use one set of disc for one model on another model with guaranteed success, and if it does work and load, chances are you will have driver issues
