Your question is not clear. Is this a copy of Vista you have
installed on a computer and now you want to install and
activate it on a second computer? If so, you can not do this. The
rule is clear enough. It is a copy (or a license) for each computer.
There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

.. or in any case, I can use my Vista without activation...

I bought this and I don't want to spend money again... .pls help... Thank you

If you want to have on two computers at the same time, you will need to purchase a
second copy. If you want to move from one computer to another
That's fine, If it's a retail copy; Just remove it from the first
an and install on the second.

However if it is an OEM copy rather than a retail one, you cannot move
it from one computer to another. The biggest drawback from an OEM
version is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first
It is installed on.

Also is there an option upgrading Vista to Windows 7

Yes.

  • Unable to activate Windows Vista by phone

    I just installed my windows vista in my new laptop computer. I received the license key on a sticker on the back of my previous laptop. I've heard that I need to activate my windows by phone in my new laptop computer. But the telephone activation option comes after clicking on activate windows now in system under windows activation. It shows the following screen.

    Hello

    The reason that you can not activate it is because you cannot transfer your product key license/Vista of your old laptop to another laptop.

    You need to buy another license of Vista from somewhere, but Microsoft sells more than vista.

    If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • How can I copy vista on a new hard drive

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and bought the disc. Until I do so I want to install a new hard drive of 1 TB. How to copy Vista from the old drive to the new drive?

    You will need to reinstall Vista on the new drive (new installation) and then turn it on and then level to Windows7 and activate that.  First back up your data - it's about all you'll be able to save.  You will need to reinstall all your programs and reset all settings - they can be copied on to the new drive.  It works just like that.  An option that allows you to transfer data a little more than a simple (but not yet the programs) is to use EasyTransfer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928635. The review process and see if you can make it work in your situation.

    Sorry, that is not a solution more simple that preserves everything on the original drive, but even if you did an image backup of complete and restored to the new drive, the device driver for the hard disk would be a mistake, and it is not possible to change it with the limited access, you will need to the system without being able to boot from the hard drive.  If you can find a way to install the hard disk driver after restoring using only disk access (which may be possible depending on what has been provided by the manufacturer of the hard disk - it would need to be a startup disk that can install device drivers, even if the hard drive is not available) This becomes a viable option - but I do not know how or if any manufacturer offers such a disc.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    How to get the recovery media Vista to make it back to factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    Contact Acer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • DesignJet 130: what should look like a NEW Assembly of ink for DesignJet 130 tube to

    I ordered a new Assembly of tube of ink for DesignJet 130 from an online source. The item is marked refurbished. Frankly, it seems not yet to have been refurbushied but just pulled an old printer (but that didn't matter that I was expecting again), but it did lead me to ask a slightly silly question.

    The tubes in a new assembly have preloaded ink in them? I guess not, but when I locate a set of 'new' I don't want to jump to a false conclusion so filled beforehand with ink. I guess they must be clean, dry, seems to have never been filled, and not overflow but I thought I would check.

    I'll get my money back and try again. I guess there are some spare parts new surplus stock for this printer floating around. I was wrong in my assumption?

    I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

    And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
    If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

    Of course you can do it.
    The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

    So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)
