A question on getting Windows 7 on a Mac? In addition, the Office?

My old computer is an Asus. I just got a MacBook Air on Sunday. I got it and it's been great. I wanted to run some of my games and others to buy Windows 7 and Microsoft Office for the school. However, I have both on my old computer.

(1) is it possible can I transfer from my old computer to my new computer?
(2) if so, how?
(3) otherwise, should I get? My old computer had a Windows anytime upgrade, and I don't know what that means. He was also Microsoft Office. How can I get Windows 7 on my Mac? If I have to buy the retail package, or the Windows 7 Key Code thing would work? I don't know how it works, so could you help me?
ANSWER: My mother has been bought. It came pre-installed.

You will need to use a full commercial license.  An upgrade license or an OEM license will not work.  If the Windows 7 product is preinstalled on the computer, it probably has an OEM license, so no, it cannot be transferred.

With respect to the office, how did you install it?  Is it preinstalled?

    Hello

    Please write to us!

    The product key is previously injected into the motherboard so as long as the motherboard is not changed, and in case you need to reinstall the operating system that you are using a Dell OEM cd or USB there is no need of the product key.

    Where the motherboard has changed via Dell then you will be provided with the DPK (Dell product key)

    Nicely private message the service tag and your email address.

    * Cannot connect to World of Warcraft
    * Internet crashing

    If the Internet in your entire House crashes because you have started a program, wouldn't you say that the program is the cause? That would be my first guess. You have 2 pair patch activated for World of Warcraft? This can cause some modems and routers to crash because of the number of sudden connections, it must manage. Any torrent application is the same way. Try to disable in the patch and see what happens. I really doubt that Win 7 * only * is causing your whole House to lose internet.

  • Windows 7 - error Code: 80070643 (cannot install the Office updates)

    Update KB982158 error 80070643___
    Hi - I'm under Win7 pro with Office 2010 - new brand Toshiba, so not old stuff to get in the way. I tried everything to get the Power Point KB982158 update to load, but get the error code 80070643. Well, I hope that I have tried everything!

    What does work is: try to install manually. unloading and reloading PPt and try to update; tried the 'Fix - it' KB suggested for a similar problem (error different message -0 x 80070646); tried to check the registry keys according to http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/18449f60-c149-4eaf-b8e6-a2880cd7232b - the first two hits are as they are supposed to be, but under local_machine etc. There is no AppData, there is a CommonAppData whose value is % ProgramData

    should I change the value of %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming?

    or I'm far from base, is there another solution? afraid to touch anything without the advice of expert-thank you

    Hello

    You upgrade to Office 2010 or did you do a fresh install?

    KB982158 is an update of security for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. As you have already installed Office 2010, you don't need this update.
    I suggest you remove all components of Office 2007 from the computer, including add-ins for Office 2007 from the control panel
    and see if that fixes the problem.

    Follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, then Control Panel.
    2. click on programs or features.
    From here you can remove office 2007 and its components.

    Refer to this link for help:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    I also want to mention that if you get the same error code when installing other updates, you can then follow the steps in the items listed
    in my previous post. You can perform the steps of Vista on the computer Windows 7 from the first link. Also since the second link may be made
    on a Windows 7 computer.

    You can also post the question in the Forums of Microsoft Office for assistance.
