Can I change that uses the version of Windows 7 OEM PC?

Hey, I currently two computers which is a second-hand self-build running under Windows 7 64-bit and the other a Dell with Windows Vista 32-bit. I was thinking about upgrading the computer of self-building to Windows 8, then moving the operating system Windows 7 on my Dell. However, I'm not quite sure if I can do what Windows 7 is an OEM version on a disc that came with the computer. Is it possible to change the computer that uses it, if so, how? Thanks for any help.

Windows 8 modifies these rules with a license for 'personal use '.

  • How to upgrade to windows 7 64 bit, when I have Windows XP 32-bit by using the version "upgrade windows 7."

    I had been using windows XP 32 bit before decide me get windows 7. I have read around and thought you could buy the "version upgrade of windows 7" and go for 32-bit windows xp to windows 7 64 bit. Unfortunately, when I got home to do a clean installation of windows 7, I received an error message when I put in the 64-bit and says that the disc is not compatible with my current windows. I called Mircrosoft and they told me that with the version of windows upgrade 7 "" you can't go from 32 to 64-bit, that I would need to get the full version of this one for $200 here in the Canada. Unfortunately, at this time, I have the product installed and running. I'm a bit disappointed in this light my 6 GB of ram go lose and not to mention my $120 I spent. So I wanted to know are another that blow $200 for full windows 7 and lose my $120 on the updated version, is there another method to get the 64-bit? Because at this point, I am at a total loss.

    You can go from 32-bit XP to Windows 7 64 bit by doing a custom (clean) install with an upgrade version disk.  You don't need to buy a full version disc.  But you can't start from the upgrade disk.

    I don't know what you have installed now.  If XP is installed, turn on the computer, insert the DVD upgrade after start XP and follow the prompts.  This method might also work if 32-bit Windows 7 is installed.  If not, maybe to re - install XP to start the upgrade.

  • Precision T5810 two DVD drives, how can I change that used to boot from at the start of the optical drive

    My T5819 of accuracy came with two DVD-RW drives, a thin line 8 x, HL-DT-ST DVD + - RW GTA0N SCSI CdRom Device, the other a full size 16 x PLDS DVD + - RW DH - 16AES SCSI CdRom Device.

    To start from a CD bootable (e.g. Acronis image recovery disk) at the present time, it's the drive slimline (E:\) is seen from the trunk once optical drive menu start. I would prefer that it if it was a (currently F\ :).) What should I do to get the disks exchanged in the system (so the reader 16 x becomes E\: and I can start, and control of thin line becomes F\ :)?) Is it simply a matter of reconciliation where they are plugged, or y at - it a bios option (or both?)

    JR-

    Guess the permutation of the cables can be that you are the only other choice. Restart, and then press F2 to open the BIOS Setup. Copy down all current settings, just to be sure.

    Power then off, unplug and press/hold power button for about 15 seconds before opening the case.

    If these are SATA optical drives and reached the data cables, do not bother exchange of berries. Just swap the cables. If they are IDE drives connected to the same wide ribbon cable, you will need to Exchange in the drive bays. That you want to create a primer must be connected to the end of the slick IDE and other intermediate connector.

    Once that is done, remove the battery from the motherboard and the press/hold power button for about 30 sec force the BIOS to check the material after reinstalling the battery. Then reboot normally from the HARD disk.

    If you get errors booting from the HARD disk, restart again and press F2 to go into BIOS again. Make sure that all the BIOS settings match what you wrote down or change to match. Save the changes and exit the installation program.

    Assuming everything works now, try to boot from one that corresponds to your favorite optical drive.

    You may need to check again drive letter assignments in Windows Management Console once it works the way you want.

    Or just learn to live with it like that...

  • How can I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents the start of Windows XP OEM version?

    Turned on my Dell PC today to find wonderful "Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"message. "  I have a Dell 8400 which had pre-installed XP Prof. when I bought it.  I found the MS page that deals with the issue of the file, but they cite... "Do not use the procedure that is described in this article if your computer has an OEM operating system installed." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 ... but gave no alternative instructions if you do.  ????

    How someone does solve this problem if they have an OEM operating system and do not want delete or lose the data they had on the hard drive?

    I tried to go in safe mode to see if I could get a restore, but failed to go beyond the Dell BIOS screen.
    I tried Dell support does site... no help.  Just a page to list the errors and buttons for your favorite web search gee thanxs engines.

    Help!

    You can always make use of KB307545, if you start your computer from a CD with a system.  I find that free Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu works well for this purpose (if you use Ubuntu, make sure you have not install; instead of this, use the option "Try Me").  You download an .iso file and use the "Burn Image" of your burning program CD to create a CD bootable on another machine and then use this system to perform the steps of KB307545.  Linux has the advantage of protections on the folder "System Volume Information" don't get in the way and where you need to back up your system (before reinstalling Windows), it doesn't have the path of 256 byte limit that has Windows.

    After booting from the Live CD of Linux, start KB307545 of part 2, step 6.  You will use Linux to move, copy and delete files instead of command line commands, but you should be able to find a way to do it.  You won't have to restart between part 2 and part 3, but you need to remove the CD and reboot after completing part 3.  Make sure you complete part 4.

    If things are really bad, you can use the Live CD as a system for access to your files and back up an external hard drive, USB or network before you reinstall Windows.

  • Is it legal to use and the version of Windows XP OEM from an old computer (to be retired) to the lower-grade a Vista to XP computer?

    (I have a few Win XP computers running the great. And I like Win XP.)

    Here's the situation:

    I have also a Vista computer and a very very old computer Win XP.  This computer very very old win XP has been in the dust of basement collection and will be sent to the recycling center.

    Question:

    The two Vista and old Win XP computers came with the OEM version of windows.  (Not the retail version.)

    Is it legal to use the Windows XP from this very old (to be retired) computer to down-grade the Vista to XP computer?

    (Will do that if it is not legal.)

    Thank you

    Skip

    Sorry, no. You cannot move an OEM license on another computer.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • Pair several devices on the same COM Port that use the stack for windows by toshiba bluetooth?

    I have several instances of the same device...

    I wish that they all use the same COM Port when connecting to my Toughbook.
    The application that will receive data from these devices will only monitor a single COM Port assigned to.

    I have only one active connection both for couples... That's why Ifeel, this should be possible.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    Please contact the Microsoft Community Forums. I understand you want to pair multiple devices on the same COM Port using Bluetooth.

    Unfortunately, it is impossible to pair multiple devices on the same COM Port using Bluetooth as it is by design.

    With the help of Windows-related issues feel free to post on the Forums of community of Microsoft, we will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

  • How can I change it to English version my acer aspire one D255 window7 because it is in the language and Japanese characters

    I don't know how to change my aspire D255 in English language.it is in japanese.please help me... Thank you

    Looks like you bought it with the Japanese and want to just English from top to bottom.  Probably the best thing to do is call Acer Support and see if you can pay for the DVD of restoration.  This will not only get you on English, but you'll have the right support for future use.  I hope less than a hundred dollars.

    If you want to be darring you could wipe the computer and install Windows 7 English yourself.  To do this, you must ensure that there is a COA sticker and the key on the bottom of the computer.  25 letters in five groups.  Second, you must borrow a DVD of Win7 which corresponds to the version of Windows 7 on this sticker.  Home Premium, ultimate, whatever.  Then boot from the DVD, format the computer and install Win7 English.  When asked to activate, you need to use the 25-digit key.  If that sounds scary, it take to Best Buy or store and have them do you like 50 dollars.
