todd Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) I've done as much research as I seem to be able to do. My school gave me a Fujitsu laptop with Windows 7 x64 preloaded with so much junk that it takes literally 10 minutes to get to the desktop. I want to reformat with a fresh installation but using the same key/license.The bottom of the laptop has a COA sticker that says it's "Windows 7 Pro OA" which from what I gather I cannot activate online or through the telephone.From what I understand I have to copy the pkeyconfig.xrm-ms files from within system32 and SysWOW64, as well as tokens.dat and copy them into my new installation. Then I use "slmgr.vbs -ipk <key>" to install the key. Is this the key from the "Windows 7 Pro OA" COA sticker? Will there be any other files necessary? Anything else I should keep in mind before I wipe the drive?Edit: Will this even work if slmgr -dli says it's a VOLUME_KMSCLIENT?

cluberti Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 If it's picking up volume_KMS, then you're on a network with a KMS server (and have a gvlk key installed on your desktop OS that was activated). However, you can "unlicense" with slmgr -upk and get your .xrm-ms license files to activate instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Also, if this notebook is has your school Asset Tag on it, you need to make sure that you are allowed to change the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
