SLIC Bios?

[maraxion]

Hi.
My old Amilo PA1510 has the "newest " bios avalible with the 1.07C from 2007.
Iv now been thinking on puting windows 7 on it, but insure if it was possible.
After reading on the net I found something called SLIC, but Im unsure if I realy need it, and what it is.

After running a program called RW everything, I couldent find any SLIC in my bios. Is that bad or good? And should I flash my bios with an 2.1 Slic if I want windows 7?
Confused!

Hi Maraxion,

your system is not officially release for Windows 7. That means that you cannot find any drivers on the Fujitsu website.

To find out if there are drivers available for your system, you can use the "Windows Upgrade Advisor". This tool will check which drivers are available for your device. And then you can try to install Windows 7. But please note that it might be possible that some functions are not available if the drivers cannot be found.

Or you can wait, if somebody reports about his Pa1510 + Windows 7 experiences.

Regarding the SLIC, this can be ignored. The SLIC or SLP table is a part where an OEM-Windows licence key is written in. But your notebook does not have such a key for Windows 7 so you need an official legal Windows 7 key.

Asking in this forum how to flash this special key is not a good idea.
Please purchase a official Windows 7 licence.

Hi.
So iv used the upgrade advisor and all drivers are ok.

So you are saying that SLIC is ONLY for pirated windows? So if I have an normal windows 7 im ok without it?

If you have an original Microsoft Windows 7 key it is ok and the SLP string is not needed to install and use Windows 7.
