Microsoft replaced a bad windows 7 pro with windows 7 ultimate.

[philipma1957]

I built 9 pc's in 2012 one of the windows pro oem softwares came back as
non-genuine after 4 or 5 months in use.

I purchased it from Amazon I did a report to microsoft and then sent me a windows 7 ultimate with 2 discs a 32 bit and a 64 bit.

I am impressed that they sent a better os then I turned in. I am a bit confused as this seems to be a full retail version not an oem. Oems are locked to a moboboard this looks like I can move it from machine to machine.

Has anyone ever received a replacement kit? Is it locked to one machine?


Signed confused

I call it good customer relations. Enjoy it.

BTW, this thread should be under Operating Systems, not Software.

It's good for two moves. After that, you just need to contact them to authorize another. Ultimate huh? Half surprised they didn't pimp w8 on you to improve their shipment figures.
