    As in subject.
    I need to downgrade several Olivetti machines from 8 Pro to 7 Professional.
    The computer is a Olivetti PA200-30B, mainboard ASRock B75M DASH.
    The BIOS has SLIC 2.1 (just dumped with SLIC Toolkit - see attachment).
    I don't want to reflash BIOS for two reasons:
    1) I'm not authorized to modify the PC
    2) Even if I was authorized, On the ASRock site the B75M DASH is... not existing!
    Any chance to find it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Leo.

    Let me explain more precisely: I was authorized only in trying to downgrade the O.S., but leaving untouched the BIOS.
    It's only a momentary workaround for some web apps, still not IE10/11 compatible. In a few months, I'll return to 8 Pro.
    BIOS already have 2.1 SLIC, no need to update it. It requires only a matching XRM-MS certificate and a valid OEM product key.

    BTW, I phoned M$, they told me that:
    1. I have all the rights to downgrade. To do so, I was instructed to:
    2. take a valid Windows 7 product key from a COA sticker coming from another PC (fortunately, I have dozens of such Windows 7 OA computers)
    3. insert that product key.
    So I did it, and activated my PC online.
    Next steps:
    1. SysPrep
    2. PC imaging
    3. Deployment over the other PCs

    Just a pity you could not get Olivetti XRM-MS certificate then when you did image and deployed you would not need to activate every individual machine with OEM:COA NONE SLP key.

    Yes, you're right! My hope is that deployed computers will activate online without too many problems.
    Today I restored SysPrep'ed system image on another computer.
    Everything O.K.; obviously, I had to re-enter OEM Product Key and execute on-line activation on the target computer.

    Today I received a brand new Olivetti "Olibook" notebook!
    Windows 7 Professional (OEM activation).
    I'm going to backup the certificate, token.dat and product key.
