Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit – Get Genuine

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit – Get Genuine

Description: 

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit - Get Genuine is a full operating system, not an upgrade, offered through Microsoft's Get Genuine Windows Agreement for Small and Medium Organisations program. It is available only to correct scenarios in which an organisation has an existing PC with one of the following operating systems installed on it:

  • Counterfeit, pirated, or otherwise illegal, unlicensed, or improperly licensed Microsoft Windows operating system
  • Home Premium, Home Basic, or Starter editions of Microsoft Windows 7 or Microsoft Windows Vista
  • Home or Starter editions of Microsoft Windows XP
  • Linux, FreeDOS, or other operating system

Once computers have genuine Microsoft Windows, users can keep their current operating system up-to-date with the latest service packs and security updates by downloading them with Microsoft Windows Update.

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional is the latest Microsoft operating system. It features enhanced performance, a simplified interface, expanded search capabilities, and more secure networking. This 32-bit version operates on a computer with a 32-bit processor and 32-bit drivers.

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 includes all previously released security, performance, and stability updates for Microsoft Windows 7.

Special Rules for Get Genuine Product Requests

  • Eligible organisations may place only one request ever for Get Genuine products.
  • Requests for Get Genuine products may not contain any other products.
  • During check-out, the Get Genuine Windows Agreement for Small and Medium Organisations must be accepted on behalf of the organisation.

Note

Since Get Genuine products are part of the Microsoft Windows Desktop Operating Systems title group, an organisation's request for them will reduce the number of operating system upgrade products it may request in its current two-year donation cycle.

Choose Carefully

The administrative fee for this Get Genuine product is not refundable, and the product cannot be exchanged.

Important Volume Licensing Information

With Microsoft Windows 7, organisations can choose between two types of volume license keys for product activation: a Key Management Service (KMS) license key or a Multiple Activation Key (MAK). Organisations will be provided with a Key Management Service (KMS) key for Microsoft Windows 7 by default on the Microsoft Volume Licensing website; that is, this is the only type of key an organisation will see unless they request a MAK.

A KMS key requires at least 25 computers on a network for activation. Organisations with fewer than 25 computers should request a MAK from the Volume Licensing website after receiving this product. 
Features: 

Software Assurance Not Included

Get Genuine products do not include the Software Assurance benefits that come with most other Microsoft software donations. If an organisation installs a Get Genuine product, that product will not have the benefit of receiving a free upgrade to a newer version of Microsoft Windows when it is released in the future. However, the Get Genuine product will provide a computer with a legal base operating system upon which Microsoft Windows upgrade products that include Software Assurance benefits offered through TechSoup New Zealand can be installed.

Additionally, organisations that request Get Genuine products will be able to downgrade their donation to earlier Microsoft Windows OS versions at no cost through the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).
