Am I allowed to make a copy of windows 7 disks after purchase?

If I buy windows 7 retail am I allowed to make disks for legitimate installation and/or relocation copies so that I can keep the originals safe and clean?

When you say that the "the" computer under license, I assume that means on a computer under license at a time. I understood that the commercial version can be moved to a new computer / hard drive in the future if necessary

Yes, you can transfer a retail license, as long as it is removed from the computer installed previously.

    How to reinstall vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  • I need to register my copy of windows xp pro after windows activation.

    I can't get updates unless I have register windows, so it would be wonderful to register for windows. My reason is because most programs do not work with windows xp service pack service pack 1.

    Thank you
    Deevonator

    Windows registration is optional.  You have no Windows registry to get updates, service packs, etc..  You can skip the registration step when it appears.

    The Windows activation is required.   Since you say that you have activated Windows, you don't have to do anything.

    For more information, see Activate and register Windows XP article.

    Hello by

    The entire display is confusing somehow. I have to say that you must tell us which model of laptop you have exactly.
    Anyway, here, many made to better understand:
    -New notebook models are supplied without recovery Toshiba DVD
    -Recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition and partition hidden with recovery image doesn't exist
    -It is recommended to create own recovery and therefor DVD, Toshiba has designed little tool called "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator"
    -You can start "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator", using the shortcut placed on the desktop (factory State)

    So to help you please let us know what model of laptop do, you must, folder HDDRecovery is on second partition available and still using the factory settings?

    I want to use Windows 10 (for games) on my 2013 MacBook Air (13 ", 128GB flash, 1.3 GHz Intel i5, 4 GB of RAM), but I want to install it on my external hard drive because I am almost out of space SSD (34 GB remaining), and I know how large windows is. I have an external 1 TB harddrive that I use for my backups Time Machine, and I was wondering if I could transfer my copy of Windows hard disk external and implemented via Boot Camp. Is there a way to partition my drive so that my backup and Windows can both be there? And is there a way to trick Windows in race (start) from the external hard drive?

    Lol as the second partition on the boot volume. None of the other partitions will be allowed thereafter.

    So I tried to build a computer, but it seems that the copy of Windows 7, I have purchased from Amazon.com will not install from the CD as it seems to face driver problems with the BIOS on my motherboard (too recent)?

    It seemed that I would be able to install the OS by loading the file ISO of Windows 7 on a USB key and start from that, but whenever I try to download the ISO of Windows 7 from the Microsoft website (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7), using the key of my physical copy of Windows 7 it always gives me the same error :

  • Not a copy genuine Windows 7 ultimate

    I had a PC custom built and installed Windows 7 Ultimate was on it. Have been using for about 7 months with no problems, the copy of Windows has been activated and registered with Microsoft, but after an update of Windows, I started to get an error message saying that it was not an authentic copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, and the only option I get is to buy a new product key. Is this a mistake, or do I really need to buy a new product key? I try to install Windows 10 and this problem seemed to come from the sky, and I don't have any problems so far. My problem is that it is a custom built PC and is not a label with a product key and walked away the guy who built my PC, and I can't get my hands on him. He used a legitimate copy of Windows 7 that we purchased during the configuration of the PC. What can I do? I have to buy a new copy?

  • Satellite A100-784 - how can I make another copy of my recovery disc DVD

    Hi all

    I have the Satellite A100-784, which comes with Vista Home...
    How could I make another copy of the DVD from my recovery disc?

    Also, I don't have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator... is downloadable?

    Hello

    You n t have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator, because this Toshiba Software is preinstalled on laptops equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
    I presume that you have received a Toshiba Recovery disk this laptop doesn t allow HARD drive recovery.
    Therefore, you cannot create a new DVD of recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator.

    What you could do is to copy the supplied recovery disk.
