We are on crossed paths slightly; so I will try one last time.
1) I`m not going to put Vista on my Dynabook (and try the Ultimate update bought in Japan [Which I bought for Windows 7 Japanese (and the Vista is English)]). I have a better alternative. I think. It should be obvious?
2) I have already put an English .iso Windows 7 Home Premium back on my i7 laptop. Its running now. Had to get all the Toshiba drivers/Progs back. Most of them anyway.
3) I can Install the non-OEM DVD version of Windows 8 Pro I bought from Amazon (not OEM), which I can register onto the New i5 PC. It came with 2-discs (32 & 64 bit).
4) Only problem may be that I cannot find a JAPANESE Windows 7 Home Premium (or any version) of the ISO anywhere on Earth. I can find spanish and Italian and Korean versions. But not Japanese.
So,
When I go to Register/Activate the Genuine code on my laptop I get the Microsoft middle finger again. And again. And.... you get the picture for days and ...
Is the problem:-
A) Because the Windows 7 Home Premium Codes was for a Japanese version of Windows 7 Home Premium only?
OR
B) Is it because I have not `De-Registered/De-Activated the Windows 8 Code from the laptop? And Microsoft registration process will not let a new OS register on top of an existing OS (a security measure?)?
OR
C) ???
