[Simply Computers] Re: reinstall Win 7 Pro witrh an OEM disk and number

 

Hagie,

Since I don't see anyone else around today, I will try to answer your question for you.

But first we need more information:

You say you got the OEM number from system information on the computer. Is this the same computer you are now trying to install Win 7 to? An OEM number (Original Equipment Manufaturer) is good typically only on the machine the Operating system came on> It is not a copy of the OS (Win 7) that can be just installed on any machine.

See more info on OEM here: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/glossary/f/oemsoftware.-UFl.htm

This is a pretty good but not inclusive explanation.
