    Replace OEM Key with a HP DELL Lenovo or Sony


    Just out curiosity what happens when you get a Pro Version of Windows and your PC has the Home Version. Can you upgrade OEM Key on motherboard by reactivating with a Pro OEM Key or will you need to keep Pro OEM Key so every time reinstalled Windows you will need to reactivate the Pro Version or will upgrade the key on the motherboard.

    No I wasn't suggesting anything that illegal or dangerous. There's an app that will install the correct OEM key and certificate to match the existing SLIC table. After that it activates as if you had installed W7 using the OEM's own install media. Windows 7 machines from Acer, Packard Bell, eMachines, Advent, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, Gigabyte, HP, Compaq, Lenovo, IBM, Medion, MSI, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba are supported.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were. *Redface I could have picked my words better.
    This is one of those tricky to talk about subjects, that can get you into trouble with the mods.
