Windows Loader 2.0.9 Windows 7 Activator Reloaded
Coleman John
Of course, when you install a fresh window it deletes all your system files including keys that were used to activate it. After new windows installation, you must reactivate it by following the above process
He says he does not like windows 8 from the beginning cause he knew there is no way out manipulate OEM boot as he manage on Windows 7. I am pretty sure he was trying right from the beginning. For Windows 7 you can bypass OEM with the same Key according to the motherboard manufacture or computer manufacture but for Windows 8 Each OEM has unique key. Well you can not everything in the life. That is the full story. But big respect for him to create this wonderful loader it is not only Windows 7 but same time Windows Server including latest fix for Windows Server 2012 too.
You have activated Windows 7 Operating System on your computer successfully. The activation of Windows 7 has remained until you install a fresh new Window. If you do so, you can follow the same procedure as mentioned above.
The Windows 7 Loader was recognized as an old version with the launching of new activators by Team Daz. Thus, you may face troubles when activating the latest OS on your computer. In such situations, you will be required to find any other alternative activators which operate as same as Windows loader 2.2.2.
Through this tool, you can activate the latest versions of Windows such as Windows 10, 8, and Windows 7. You can use this tool to activate Microsoft Office as well, which is not a feature of Windows loader. You can use the Kmspico activator in both architectures such as x64bit and x32bit.
I just installed arch linux on my previously only windows 10 laptop. I have one ssd for arch linux and one for windows. I want to use rEFInd as my bootloader, which works perfectly for arch linux. I tried to set up a menu entry for windows following this tutorial. The problem is, I don't have \EFI\tools\shell.efi or fs0:\EFI\tools\launch_windows.nsh. My hunch is that because I have two ssds and I was previously only using the windows one, I have two ESPs so my windows .efi files don't exist on my arch linux ESP. Is this accurate? I tried digging through the partitions on my windows drive but I don't see any .efi files there either. Is it possible that windows was booting using BIOS and didn't create those files?
rEFInd should automatically detect the Windows EFI boot loader and create a menu entry for it. If this isn't happening, then my hunch is that Windows is installed to an MBR disk in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode, not to a GPT disk in EFI/UEFI mode. You can check the partition table types of your disks like this (as root):
Change /dev/sda for each of your disks (they're probably /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, but might be something more exotic). parted reports GPT disks as gpt, but uses msdos for MBR disks. If my hunch is correct, then the Linux disk will probably show up as GPT and the Windows disk as MBR.
If I'm right, you can try editing refind.conf (usually in /boot/efi/EFI/refind or /boot/EFI/refind): Uncomment the scanfor line and add hdbios to the options. This will tell rEFInd to activate its support for booting BIOS-mode OSes. You'll probably get one or two gray diamond-shaped icons when you boot, one of which should boot Windows. (If you get just one icon and it doesn't boot Windows, also try uncommenting the uefi_deep_legacy_scan option in refind.conf.) If you want to hide the non-functional Windows boot entry, you can do so with dont_scan_volumes, assuming you can find a unique part of the boot option's description to hide it.
As an alternative to all of this, or if rEFInd's BIOS-mode support doesn't work on your computer, you could convert Windows to boot in EFI mode rather than BIOS mode. This is riskier than adding BIOS-mode support to rEFInd's configuration, but it may boot a little faster and it will let Windows access EFI features. See this page for instructions on how to make this change.
If I'm wrong in my assumption that Windows is booting in BIOS mode, then something else is wrong -- perhaps a damaged filesystem on the ESP that holds the Windows boot loader or even a destroyed Windows boot loader. The necessary repair will depend on the exact nature of the problem. In this case, please run the Boot Info Script. This will generate a file called RESULTS.txt. Post that file to a pastebin site and post the URL to your document here.
\EFI\tools\shell.efi file is a UEFI shell, you can get it from here. Though if you just want to launch Windows bootloader you do not need the shell for that. Windows bootloader can be launched directly as any normal UEFI application.
After installing Linux with an EFI bootloader on a system where Windows had been installed with legacy BIOS mode, I was unable to boot into Windows, only Linux. @Rod Smith's answer was great and helped me troubleshoot a bunch of things. But even after installing rEFInd and setting the config options, I wasn't able to boot Windows. I converted the drive from MBR to GPT, but that didn't work. I tried toggling the motherboard between UEFI and Legacy - still nothing. I actually had to copy the EFI bootloader for Windows from Windows\Boot\EFI to the ESP. And I'm guessing that @Marcel could have done the same instead of reinstalling Windows - although that is certainly an option.
I have been working with a user here who had a functional fedora install, then did an install (or reinstall) of windows 11. His ending situation was that the efi partition was recreated by windows and all fedora config of grub within the ESP was wiped out.
Working with the user I have been able to do a full recovery (almost). We have been able to use the live usb and do a full install of grub to restore the /boot/efi/EFI/fedora directory and files as well as recreating a new /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file. All his files in /, /home, and /boot were unaffected.
I have never had to make a boot loader functional from scratch previously, so would appreciate any assistance in the steps involved to make the link between grub being installed and the boot loader being accessible from bios to boot grub.
Doing further research I wonder. Would the grub-install command be the one needed? Possibly grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi /dev/nvme0n1 when the system is fully mounted and active in a chroot environment? His system is installed on nvme0n1 with the ESP on /dev/nvme0n1p1.
That may be correct for Ubunto, but not for Fedora. On Fedora grub2-install checks if you are on a UEFI system and refuses to do anything. On older Fedora it would break the ability to boot in secure mode.
Then there is a fall-back magic feature. If the boot menu is empty, the system can boot from \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI which is a copy of shimx64.efi. Then the file EFI/fedora/BOOTX64.CSV is read and the contents of this file is used to create the proper boot entry. Pure magic. On my system, this works only if I remove all boot entries. On some other systems you may be able to select the hard disk as boot device.
That works fine with multiple drives and installing discretely on separate drives. The original thread however is about a dual boot system on which both OSes were already installed and functional using a single efi partition.
Then a windows install/reinstall wiped out the ESP partition so it was necessary to reinstall grub and enable the system to access grub for booting. Of course that also meant /etc/fstab had to be altered for the new /boot/efi partition and other changes.
The fedora portion of that has been restored, with advice from here uefi is now able to see and start grub, but it seems the issue now may be something to do with LVM not properly activating the VG so the root file system cannot be mounted. Fedora goes to emergency mode. Still working that out at present.
To expand on my previous comment, there are 3 issues that are critical for me when running any machine, especially when I have linux and windows parritions.
1 - being able to reliably boot external media
2 - being able to reliably choose which installed partition to boot
3 - having a backup strategy that can successfully recover from a crash
In both cases I managed to recover the Grub loader from Windows without needing to reinstall Grub or booting from an USB. I used the bcdedit Windows command executed in a Windows DOS box with administrator privilege.
The console program is the main client program on operator stations. It isgeneral-purpose program displaying acquisition values and performing on-linecontrol of the hardware. The console is hardware independent - all settings andparameter pages, addressing etc. is stored in the control system database. Themajor parts of the console are the List View, the Graphic View and the Controlbar. The list view generates standardized pages with parameter listings fromthe database informations. The graphic view takes a standard bitmap asbackground and show parameters on top of the bitmap. The Control bar is usedfor an 'analogue fell' panel for easy control of parameters.
F11: Full Screen view/Normal view:
Toggle between full screen view without caption and normal view. In full screen mode the console the caption and menu bar is hidden and the console is maximised. Pressing F11 in full screen mode will bring the console back to normal display.
The Control bar is used to control analogue values on the control system. Itis optimized for use with the digipot - but the mouse can also manipulate allcontrols. The Control has at least one tab view - each tab view being able tocontrol up to 8 parameters. The control tabs can be given meaningful headernames. When a tab is selected it is connected to the control system. Theconfiguration of the tab is included in the console setup files stored/loadedwith the file menu.
Lower slider: Control slider for selected parameter. If the controlis disabled, either from the digipot or from the resolution buttons, the slideris marked as inactive (grayed) and can not be moved. This is also the case, ifthe connection to control system is not working properly.
