  If the product key is not printed on a label on the computer (in some laptops battery compartment) case, ask the seller of the key.  If the seller does not have one, buy a copy of Windows.  The only ways to get a Windows product key are to buy a computer with Windows preinstalled at the factory or on a copy of the retail (boxed or download).  At this point you can have trouble finding a copy of Vista to sell because Microsoft has removed Vista from retail shelves.

• I bought my Dell computer in 2012 and had to reload my Windows 7 but my product key at the bottom of my computer

  I bought my Dell computer in 2012 and had to reload my Windows 7 but my product key at the bottom of my computer is worn and I was wondering if it is possible for Microsoft to have a copy of it.

  No, unfortunately.

  But since you bought a Dell computer, it provides a DVD of free relocation for each model, which is a clean copy of the OS without the bloatware factory but just a logo and a standalone activation.  Order here: need backup Media? Reference Dell U.S.

  I would not use the drivers disk unless you need to install the driver of LAN network to get online.  Instead, follow these steps to clean reinstall Windows 7, install all your Important and optional Windows updates until no more are available, so all still pilots missing in Device Manager must be imported from the Web page of the Dell Support downloads for your tag number.

  Other than that if you still have the recovery partition on the disk Dell and it does not start after restoration of PC Dell Windows 7

  Then, you can try to run it manually after the recovery Partition to start using EasyBCD .  This also activates the self.

  When I go on craigslist and click on answer, it too will windows mail, but I want to go to my yahoo how can I do this?

  Craigslist requires that you use a default mail client. Yahoo's Webmail and not an e-mail client. You may be able to get around it with this fix. If this isn't the case, you would need a Yahoo Plus account is established in Windows Mail.

  How can I make Yahoo! Mail my default email application?

• Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

  Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

  Original title: IP address

  Hi John,.

  Please go to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  IP (Internet Protocol) address for the other two computer cannot be the same.

  Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are required for each device that connects to the Internet. Them are a common shared resource that must be managed carefully in order to ensure the continued growth and stability of the Internet. Most of the Internet is currently treated with IP version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 addresses are also in use, but not yet to the same extent. IPv6 is a newer protocol, offering a much larger than IPv4 address pool

  However, you can try to reset TCP/IP on your computer.

  Check out the link provided and check if the problem persists.

  CS4 on Windows 10 seems to be broken... at least I can't clone. Before that, Silver FX and the related add ons did not work. I would like to remove and re-install Photoshop CS4 on Windows 10, but I'm afraid that none of these upgrade CD I will work... they are all dependent on a previous installation. If I remove photoshop and try to use the CS4 install disc I have, it fails? Will I need to re - install Photoshop 5.5 and each single update since then go to CS4?

  You need not install older versions in order to get the last update enabled.  During the CS4 activation process, you can specify the eligible previous version (choose the oldest among a list, then enter its serial number).  Choose any one you had just before CS4.
