I was bilked by someone on Ebay into buying a bogus Windows7 Home Premium package. Will this install over it ?

Backup your vital files, and do a clean install. Aka... boot from the server disc, format the drive, and use it as a server os, not a workstation. Installing over something is not really a viable path, in my humble opinion. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/install-configure-2.aspx

Scott, The technology you mentioned is over my head. I did a search within "Help & Support" of your terms found no matches. I will tell you I purchased the refurbished computer with a newly installed Windows 7 Professional operating system from Ezbuycafe in November 2013 and have been delighted with the computer and EzBuyCafe. The seller's current rating is 4.9 stars (out of 5 stars) over the 546 ratings for the past year. You'll be well served with this computer from EzBuyCafe.

I think you need windows 7 pro or ultimate kuz I think home premium is limited to 16. if you use xotic you can have them change the os

It should replicate it completely. Worst case it may ask you for the Win 7 Key.

I am not sure using Windows 7 Home Premium but I dont see why not since it is a usb interface should work fine in my opinion

sorry, I guess you need to contact the seller and/or review the description of the items to see if the windows version was stated as genuine. When I purchased mine, the seller described the item as containing a genuine Windows operating system. Wish you luck!

Be careful-Dont be satisfied with the Starter version of Windows 7. I hear you then just have to upgrade and pay another $75, or more

Well I really don't know for sure. I got Windows 7 because of all the trouble with Windows 8. The IT guy that works at my employment said this was a good computer and that there were not many Windows 7 left out there. I really like it. I can tell you what the sticker says on the computer if that will help. It states it is Intel Core i5 3230M 2.6 ghz with turbo boost up to 3.2 ghz..Sorry I could not help anymore than this, but I do like it a lot. I did see under system properties that is a Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1

no, if you buy from usedhardware, it comes with a dell disk you boot up and it installs windows 7. For $90 its a great deal.

Probably not as you need to install from the provided cd, maybe they have online installation info but I don't know.

If the version of Windows is an upgrade version, the box will read "Upgrade" at the upper left corner. If the box does not read "Upgrade" and you received an upgrade DVD (or MSDN activation key), the software you purchased is a counterfeit. Before you open up your package, it will be advisable to check the Microsoft Website for the genuine features on the COA. The COA is ***never*** sloppily made. The silver line is visible by two rectangular shaped openings (counterfeit products usually have portholes, ovals, or irregular shaped openings). I hope this helps.
