  The product key on my laptop does not work when I try to verify that it is authentic?

  I am entitled to an upgrade, as I have CS3 I want to buy a new mac and install the upgrade on the new computer. How can I do this?

  If you get two new machines and the CS3 allows you to get the price reduced for a year then you should certainly pursue it.  However, I always recommend people to try before you buy.  When you get the new machines install the trial version and make sure that it works for you correctly.  Once you have confirmed it correct functions, then you can purchase the subscription.

• My hard drive went bad so I bought a new. I installed Windows Vista and everything works until I try to install SP1...

  As I said in the title, my hard drive went bad on my Dell XPS 420.  I was running 32 bit windows vista service Pack 2 since the last time my hard drive gone bad.  The first time I replaced my hard drive I used the cd of Windows Vista install with cd drivers and using automatic updates of windows.  In a few hours, I had my pc up and running.  But with this record, it's a completely different story.

  I did the same thing with her.  Installed Windows and drivers as before and I go ahead and do the automatic updates.  Everything is okay until I get to point when I download and install windows Service Pack 1.  I download, install and it seems to work very well.  Then it restarts to complete the installation and configuration.  After about 30 minutes of this, he finally said service pack error.  Restoration of the changes.  He then takes 30 minutes more to do.  After that, I get a screen saying that Windows does not start.  A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.  Follow-up by telling him to use the windows cd repair section.
  I did this 3 or 4 times to do different techniques.  I did it with the automatic windows update.  Manually as an administrator.  After using the analysis tool in Windows Vista and in another way when restore you some files.  I am about to throw my pc because I've probably spent nearly 10 hours of messing around with it and honestly it's not my time unless there is ANOTHER way that deserves to be tried before I "Offices" of the thing.
  Honestly, I think I read every article on this subject online.  If I type in service pack 1 and vista online I went to all the links on the first 10-12 pages...
  If anyone has AN idea please let me know.  Yes, I would like at the office space that it but it would also be good to have another pc with a new hard drive...
  Thank you.

• Can I have Windows 8 removed on a new computer and install Windows 7Home Premium?

  I have a gateway Windows XP with 2 slots for RAM.  I just have to answer at least 1 GB of RAM required for Windows 7 upgrade. I would like to have more than just the minimum RAM.   I'm not sure that the increase in RAM by buying two 1 GB RAM is all that is required to upgrade to Windows 7 and still have a stable and reliable computer.  If I bought a new computer with installed Windows 8, Windows 8 could be removed and the Windows 7 Home Premium installed instead?

  Thank you.

  If you have an old XP PC with only 1 GB of RAM, it is not likely to Win7 or 8 to run at all.

  If you buy a new computer, you can downgrade (people feel it is really an upgrade) to Windows 7 only if you have Windows 8 Pro. It is not normally sold on consumer machines. You would have taken specially for her.  In this case, one lets you find a computer that comes with Windows 7 installed. There are still a few available for sale.

  If you just want to buy a copy of Win7 then you could install it on a computer that is running Win8.

  Hello

  You uninstall not she, you reinstall Vista on top of it

  You have the Vista DVD, so do a clean install with it.

  As Vista is pre-installed you will need probably not the Producr Key that is on the sticker on your laptop if you use of the manufacturer provided recovery disk

  If you need it, insert the product key from the sticker on the laptop case

  Boot from the Vista DVD and follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

  Make sure that the CD / DVD Drive (optical drive) is the 1st in the boot order.

• I need to re - install windows vista but can not find my disk

  Gave up my old hard drive to the laptop and I need Windows vista but can not find my disc can I download it for free if so microsoft where any help would be great

  Thank you very much, Nik

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
