• Activation of Windows 8 on the new computer

  I bought a new computer HP Envy and after turn on and through the stages of windows 8 for the first time, I did a windows update.  That's when the trouble started.

  When the update is finished, he gave me the message saying that the update failed and returning changes.  This change in recovery took some time.  After that is completed, windows is activated is no longer and he wants me to activate windows 8 by buying another key.

  I called HP and after many hours with their technology support the people, and re-start with restoration media which they sent me and get another key windows 8 Microsoft and typing in this new key, I have finally reactivated windows 8, did the updates, only to find the exact message update failed and there back the changes.

  Now, windows is not activated yet and I'm in the same place that I was two weeks ago.

  This seems to be a software problem, but how can I solve this problem?

  Well, I managed to upgrade my computer to windows 8.1.  The download took a lot of time.  After the upgrade, I typed in the same product activation code and he accepted as he had all of the previous times.  This time however, he did not that windows is not activated.  After several times, it still works well.

  I guess that it was a type of windows 8.0 but that 8.1 fixed.

  My drive has been created using a windows xp windows live care and my new computer works with windows 7. How can I get information on the new computer. When I tried to download the software of microsoft it would allow me to do. Any ideas?

  Hi Dorene33,

  ·         What exactly happens when you try to download the software?

  ·         You receive an error message?

  ·         You are able to access drive from devices and printers?

  ·         What happens exactly when you double click on the drive and try to open it?

  I suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malware

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  Hope this information helps.

• EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

  My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

  Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

  OK, so try this utility: http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

  But don't be surprised if it does not work with the version of Win10 that you have installed.

• I bought windows 8 pro discs, then my computer is dead, I can install it on the new computer of windows 8 and how do I do this?

  Also, what is the difference between the pro version and the Windows 8.1 update? I'm not a pro like you old guys, simple answers would be really appreciated, thanks.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft community!

  1. Yes, you can re - install Windows 8 on a different computer.  Before you re-install in another computer, please make sure that you remove Windows 8 to the computer that you have already installed software license terms Microsoft lets a copy must be installed on one computer only.
     To remove Windows 8 of the current computer, you must perform a clean installation of Windows 8. Install with previous operating system drive (Windows 7\ Vista\XP). This removes Windows 8 in the current computer and install the previous operating system.
     Note: You may lose all your data when you perform a new installation, so please back up all data before installing the previous operating system.
     Once you have removed Windows 8 from the current computer, download Windows 8 in the new computer and install. When installing, please provide the same license key that you used during your first installation of Windows 8. You can also find this key in the purchase confirmation email that you received.
  2. As your second question, Windows 8.1 will be a free update for users of Windows 8. Which means, you must have a version of Windows 8 in order to install Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 brings updates for the Windows 8 Pro(or any other Windows 8 version). See the following links to learn more about Windows 8.1:

• Can I restore the backup Windows XP on a new computer with Windows 7 COA and upgrade to Windows 7?

  Original title: upgrade question.

  I currently have a PC running XP in a system with an IDE drive. The system has many applications that the company has moved the installation discs, so I need to move the contents of the entire disk to a new system. I was about to do the following:
   
  System backup with a recovery boot disk, in this case a USB.
   
  Restore the entire operating system to a new system that will have a SATA drive in it. The new system will have a COST for Windows 7.
   
  Start the XP and upgrade to Windows 7.
   
  My question is, will it work or the absence of the COA of XP on the new system will prevent me to install?
   
  Any help would be appreciated.
   
  Thank you
   
  The f

  Short answer, "no, this will not work."

  It is unclear what you mean by 'backup' and 'restore', but it seems that if you are referring to the creation of a disk image or a clone of disk on an external drive and then either restore the image or cloning to the new computer.  Assuming that both of these computers was provided with Windows pre-installed, this process will almost certainly result in a facility that cannot be 'activated '.  In addition, unless the software you use has something like Acronis Universal Restore, restore the image from your old computer to a player in a new computer with a different hardware simply will not work.

  In addition, the lack of an XP license is not the issue.  There are several problems with the process you describe, but basically, an "upgrade" from XP to Win 7 requires a "custom installation" which means that applications should be re-installed.

• Old computer is dead, HARD drive still alive. Can I install windows 7 on your new computer without formatting the old HARD drive?

  My old desktop computer recently died of a motherboard failure.  As I understand it, I should be able to install windows 7 from my old computer to the new, but only if I delete the old installation.

  Does this mean that I have to format the old HARD drive?  Because the old computer HARD drive seems to be alive, I would retrieve the data on a new machine first, before I have to format and I need to install windows on the new computer to get the data from the old HARD drive.

  No, it is taken on trust that the old installation is no longer active, there is no mechanism to remove the old license in order to make a valid new. Remove the Windows directory (or rename) makes the old system inoperative.

  You find that the automatic authentication fails on new construction and need to call the licensing Center to check that you have only one installation. Apart from the OEM rules if a license has been activated too often, and recently, it fails in a 1 time.

• I want to install my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium student and Teacher Edition on a new computer I bought. The new computer running Windows 8.1. Do I need to uninstall first from my old computer?

  I want to install my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium student and Teacher Edition on a new computer I bought. The new computer running Windows 8.1. Do I need to uninstall first from my old computer? I bought the program in 2012. Is there anything else I need to do so because of the length of time and new technologies? I appreciate any help you can give I do it correctly. Thank you.

  you are authorized, until, two facilities, activations.

  If you already have two facilities, activations, disable (help > deactivate) one of your installation/activation before uninstalling.

  otherwise, do not disable and uninstall.

• Windows live photo gallery: original photos lost the transfer to the new computer

  photos to the new computer, and the originals have not been transferred as im guessing they're saved in the software/program that cannot be transferred.

  If there is not a way to transfer original and edited photos to the new computer, is there a way to return all original with a single click, so that I can transfer the originals on my new computer?

  Thank you.

  Thank you, you saved my originals... I copy paste, but can not work how to connect my pictures changed to the originals so that I can click on my modified photos and click on 'back '.

  Thanks again

  ===========================================
  Sorry, but I don't have the exact solution for re - associate the
  originals with edited versions.  The only thing I would like to know
  to try would be to place the originals in the original Images
  folder on the new system.

  Maybe... I say just that maybe if you copied the photo gallery
  exclusive database of the old system and used it to replace
  the database on the new system. (Just copy and paste the file in)
  the appropriate on the new system folder, and when you see
  ... dialog box you want to replace? with? Select Yes.

  Also... you could instead of replace your new database...
  rename it... Pictures.OLD for example. So if the replacement
  do not re - associate files... you can remove the replacement
  and rename the OLD version in what it was and the Gallery
  must be as it was before the change.

  Depending on the version of your photo gallery might be the database
  Pictures.PD5, Pictures.pd6, Pictures.pd7...

  The path to the version of Win XP is:

  C:\Documents and Settings\ > user name<\Local>
  Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery\
  Pictures.PD4, Pictures.pd5 or Pictures.pd6

  Windows Vista:

  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
  Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

  Windows 7:

  Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
  Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6

  (Sorry, but I'm not sure of the path in Windows 8 but if you)
  do a search for PD6 PD7, you should be able to find it.

  The former article is a user experience
  with the shifting of the database... maybe it would offer a few ideas:

• How to use transfer windows for xp to xp. When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

  How to use transfer windows for xp to xp.  When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

  Hello, welcome.

  The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.
  For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.
  http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/migrating-Vista-using-Windows-easy-transfer.html
  For both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:
  1. click on START > run

  2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter

  3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed

  4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right

  DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN

  5. click on START > run

  6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.

  7. type chkdsk /r and press enter

  8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume

  9. allow the system to plan restarting

  10. restart your computer

  11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive

  12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine

  13. Once completed, repeat the transfer
