Windows 7 Pro $19 for students

A litte OT, when i am allowed to do that...
there is a way to change the Language even in the Pro edeition of W7, so you can install any language that is supported via the languagepacks:
you open the run, then cmd.exe , for the coommand line.


DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath: (path of the file with the LP)

bcdedit /set {current} locale en-EN (you change it dependig on what language you are installing)

bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-EN (here the same)

then you open regedit end delete the key en-us in the string
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages\
you restart the pc and thats all
sorry again for the OT, but i think many users will appriciate this workaround

I guess so :)



nope, I just received my email with a username and password, went on there and saw Windows 7 Pro, and it said it was free.

So I grabbed it asap. :P

Huh?

It shows as free for everyone... you don't pay anything once inside MSDNAA

Did they charge your card for the ACM student membership? That's the $19 everyone else is talking about.

At first I thought they hadn't charged me for membership but it seems that it just took a few days for it to deduct on my online statement.

Just received my user name/ password, My wife signed up for me since shes is in college, but her college does not offer access to MSDNAA.

I've been reading about keys can only activate one time, can I use any software to clone the hard drive right away after validation or any other method to backup the activated state? thanks!

Is it possible to do that with Windows Backup or do I need a third-party software?

Thanks.

First of all i am very thankful to masterB for such value able information he gives to everyone. and than thanx to all other members who posted such valuable posts in this forum.

After that i would like to ask about after subscription to ACM as a student for 18$ where i may find the login/ pass for MSDNAA. would ACM automatically give me that or i have to request someone for that.

Thanx again to everyone and hope u all will help me.

Waiting for an early responce

After you sign up for ACM, you will (slowly) be given a login to complete your registration. After that, you will need to sign up (at The ACM version of "My Web Page") for the MSDNAA program (opt-in).

Following that, you will recv an email from MSDNAA with login amd membership info.

Shaz---I would say 72 hours NOT COUNTING WEEKENDS is a safe bet.
