Need some help - Activating Seven on a GPT PC.... how i need ?

Hi boys... a my friends has a ASUS Notebook (actually i don't know the exact model) whit stock Windows 10.

 

I have pick a Seven Ultimate x64 image over internet and using RUFUS i have put in a pen drive....... at first attempts there's no work..... by google i found:

- I need to disactivate "secure boot"

- Set to "Windows 7" value instead "Windows 8" in OS in advanced setting both value in BIOS.

 

After that the Pen drive it's working at boot whitout any problems........... i have choose UEFI boot and after about 20 minutes i obtain the "full" desktop on Seven but it's not activated!

 

Inside the pen drive it's present the "WIndows Loader 2.2.2 by Daz" i have tryed to run manually but i obtain "invalid partition" or similar and i thinks it's because this loader it's not support the GPT (i see it's present 4 different partition during initial setup... i can only choose the 4rd for installation... i thinks this is the default of GPT partition).

 

How i can do ?? I have back to bios and apparently there's no value to set for back to use MBR Partition........ how i can do for activating it ?

Taking into account that it was installed in GPT, other altenative is to follow the steps described in this topic and activate it over the phone. There are many members there who can help you with this if need be.

Also running Daz loader of USB is hardly making sense.

You must copy it to the main OS Drive, before applying it as administrator.

Windows Loader (DAZ) does not work on GPT disks, it only works on MBR disks so in your case the only way to activate your windows 7 is to use a key by doing phone activation. As one member said previsously, there is one topic which is available here and concerns windows 7, you can go there and will find the necessary win7 ultimate key that you will need to activate your win7 version by phone. You go to first page of the topic and you will find the key.

here's the concerned topic => here

If you don't manage to do the activation, you can also send the installation ID in the concerned topic and someone will get you the confirmation ID.

you can still convert GPT partition to MBR without data loss:

http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/GPT-disk-partition-manager/convert-gpt-disk-to-mbr-disk.htm

after conversion you can use DAZ loader 2.2.2

 

 

EaseUS Partition Master can directly convert GPT disk to MBR disk without any data loss (hard disk with system installed is not supported)

Oh my god :) Very Thanks to everyone..... for all that info :) I don't aspect to be all this reply :)

 

For not quote all reply i try to response to all:

 

@Skunk1966 and @user@nsaneforums about convertion to MBR partition using EasyUS Partion Manager........... currently i have 4 partion right (first if i remember it's the recovery....2 and 3 i don't know) and only the partion 4 but if i have correctly understand i can convert to MBR the partion on Hard Disk used for installation. At this point i have only an HD on this notebook and i can use this or not ?

Infact looking on screenshot on link......... The app it's been use for convert a "Disk2" and the "Disk1" it's on MBR.....

 

@Atasas Lol i know..... i have found Daz Loader on Pen Drive how it's present the Iso infact it's on $OEM Folder and i thinks this is been used automatically during the installation for activate but i obtain a GPT Partition and i thinks it's not different if i copy the Daz Loader for example on a Desktop....... it's correct?

 

Again question for "user@nsaneforums" Updown8... i can downgrade Ultimate to Professional but the problems whit GPT remain.... i have read in some parts the Microsoft Toolkit can works on Ultimate and support the GPT. I thinks i can try this.

 

@AlienForce1 I Thinks i can re-create the Pen Drive...... and i can only choose MBR from setting but in my bios i have don't find option to be use the MBR or GPT Partition.... it's possibly this notebook not support anymore the MBR Partition ??? I don't know.... if yes meanwhile i need to reformat the notebook.... I thinks this the BEST solution :)

 

@WALLONN7 i thinks i can use the Phone activation but i need a valid and genuine key to insert and i have another question, how i can use Skype if before to start i have disable the internet connection ?

 

@Knowledge Thanks for share this loader.............if there's exist some newest version and you remember if exist a thread here thanks for suggest.......

 

*EDIT*

I can't cited all member and i single reply.......... strange........

if you downgrade Ultimate to Professiona/Enterprise then can activate KMS

so what the "problems whit GPT" ?

 

 

or add the proper Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Enterprise/xrm-ms & activate KMS (personally don't like that)

It's not the problems... if i can activate whit some method i can continue to use GPT....... apparently the Microsoft Toolkit it's working on Ultimate.

 

Meanwhile my Friends as postponed to ...... i have thinks to be "work" on this notebook yesterday but not... i hope i can take it later today or tomorrow at my home...

Sorry for double post... but i thinks in about 40/50 minutes i can put my hands over this netbook and i can try all activator/patch suggested in this thread........... i thinks in about 4/5 hours i can take my feedback.

 

 

*EDIT*

Now i can post my Feedback......... i have pass the last two hours and i have re-formatted the Notebook about 3 times.

 

The notebook it's a ASUS F552M, Searching on Asus site it's present 2 different tipes the F552MD and the F552MJ!

 

From bios flash utility i have see the bios version it's the X550MJ version 301 at this point i thinks the exact model it's F552MJ but it's not reported on notebook.... very strange.

 

Otherwise on Asus supports there's no section for Windows 7 driver.............. it's only says Windows 8 and Windows 10.............

 

On BIOS there's no option......to set to use MBR partition.............. and i can only Enable or Disable the "Secure Boot"

 

I have tryed to re-download a ISO of Windows 7 Italian Sp1......... using Rufus i have selected to Use MBR for computer whit bios UEFI but in this mode the PC doesn't found the pendrive at boot!

 

I can only use the first pendrive created............ and whit this the only solution i can do for install windows 7 it's using the GPT partion.

 

 

About the activation......... here i have found the Re-Load:

 

I have tryed to launch............. click on "activate" and after about 5 seconds i obtain a "Red" on windows logo and nothings append. On Info of system i can only see a Serial it's be added and i see i have 24 Days left for activate it.

 

How i can do now ?
