Hello, I have a genuine product key to the system builders version of Windows 7 32bit Home premium. What image should I download to use it with? Apologies if the answer is found in the stickys. Ive been trying to locate the answer but not been sucessfull. additional info: I do not have access to the install-disc(s) which the product key came with Thanks in advance
See sticky for a link to download an iso image of windows 7, then just update the ei.cfg file to OEM, see below only difference, ei.cfg, all the rest 100% identical (verified hashes) ei.cfg retail: [EditionID] Ultimate [Channel] RETAIL [VL] 0 ei.cfg oem: [EditionID] Ultimate [Channel] OEM [VL] 0 This modification only seems to force setup to show the OEM eula
As far as I know there are two different types of OEM types; OEM: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and System Builder OEM license So I can use a disc for the first category to the second? Cheers
I do believe so the difference being the licence only, the System builder license can only be installed on 1 single machine as the OEM version is a multi licence key used for deployment. hope that helps...
@ daniel.soderstrom, just delete ei.cfg then you will have choice of version to install and obviously select Home Premium. Job done
