hi all i almost read all guides here i want to activate my windows 7 pro sp1 which installed as uefi with gpt i didnt try cody's ms tk yet because i want to try activating via oem slp first i red sticky post for vista activation here and other sources from internet like: activating windows oem way so i got a asus x550k laptop which was a freedos i guess it have slic table 2.1 i am not a pro so i barely know about slic but i know its related with bios which i dont want to irritate too much here is my confusions q1: does using oem slp method manipulate my bios? q1.1: is it kind of injecting smth or it is safe? q1.2: is using slic_toolkit a risky thing if i really need to know my bios has a proper slic table for method? q1.3: does it do a permanent effect to my bios? q2: where can i find correct cert. file? q2.1: i downloaded some files from internet. are they ok? or can anyone give me a link for it? q3: does it matter which brand cert. selected (afaik product keys doesnt matter). do i need to use a asus cert.? q4: i tried my old laptop's oa key to activate via telephone which failed. does this differ for process for this method. tnx in advance
first of all ty for fast replies @Tito i ll try to make my questions clear my laptop is a asus X550JK-XO012D q1 and 1.1: oem slp method changes things in my bios. right? as u mention modding it. is it possible to leave my bios virgin ? related with q4 : i wonder if this modding effects my bios permanently? ie enabling slic forever is a irrevocable action? @urie afaik daz loader doesnt work with uefi. so your recommeded way (ie windslic) is a risky thing? 1 more question: does daz loader or cody's ms tk does exatly same things what this method do automaticly. and i dont want to turn to normal mbr bios mode (some guides offers it for activation :/) lastly a laptop activated via oem slp got a geninue pass when it upgrades to win 10. my final goal is to upgrade a geniune win 10 (my other laptop activated via extreme loader, but when upgraded to win 10 it got a generic win 10 key)
tito, sorry i m bothering u so much i want to ask another thing related to your last reply. (btw i checked my bios via rw everything and didnt see a slic tab ) i recently upgraded my x550jk to win 10 pro from win 7 sp1 which was activated also with extreme loader. but it has a generic key which i didnt want . because of MS threats pirated versions can not use win 10 any more. and yesterday i bought a ssd whole story starts with this i installed win 7 home basic uefi (because i thought i can use my old laptop's oem product key to activate new laptop) but it didnt activated it via phone and i didnt try to activate it online yet (probably it wont work too) i aimed to upgrade win 10 with a genuine OS. but it seems i wont able to do that so if i install a clean win 10 pro uefi will it be activated again and automaticly because of i activated it once with my old hdd?
By design, upgraded Windows 10 from qualifying editions Windows 7/8.x displays the placeholder key & actually uses the hardware ID of the device as unique identifier of the activation. So as long as your hardware is same, you can simply re-install Windows 10 by skipping the key-input & it'll be automatically activated after connecting to internet. Usually the primary boot device changing requires re-activation, but you're welcome to try. If you face issues after clean installing, then follow the upgrade path again.
