Windows 7 kills 2nd Installation, no matter what I do

I only know one type of pre-activated Windows . . .

One and the same. Wordings may be different.

Excuse my (poor) humor - pre-activated Windows is slang for pirated Windows such as in this pic -



and this forum frowns on piracy. I guess you meant pre-installed.

No need for any excuses.

All hardware dealers provide the pen drives free, with every purchase. These are Enterprise editions, which are previously activated. I do not know what people in other countries get.

I never saw these advts.

You know that this is fake since enterprise was never available in stores. That box looks cool though.

So what's your take on pre-activated Enterprise Windows on a USB - 'All hardware dealers provide the pen drives free, with every purchase' ? That's a new one on me.

Sounds like a hacked copy and I've never heard of a manufacturer installing enterprise. I think that he is referring to installing from a pen drive as he said that he had previously done. I'm not sure if enterprise has to be activated. I have never done a clean install of enterprise only an image which of course was from a previously activated install.
