  Please, any help...?

  Im not quite clearly your senario... You have two installations of windows 8 in different partitions? or in a single partition, as an upgrade? and showing two options boot menu at startup?
  
  Here's an alternative way to answer Andre ... even effect
  If so
  Try the system configuration utility... Press the windows key and r and type msconfig and click ok...
  Then you can edit anything and as default and change the timeout values... the value of the start you want as default... and set the time-out value as 0

  

  Note: If you accidentally delete your work boot entry, your windows boot will not... so take care ... proceed at your own risk...

  If she does not hurt u, u why change / remove this thing?

• Can I install Windows 7 Home Premium from a computer has expired a new?

  I was a given a Dell Dimension 5150 has a few years by my boss that was running Windows XP Edition family.

  Shortly after, I decided that Windows 7 Home Premium was the way to go forward.

  I bought a new copy of this operating system via Amazon UK and installed from one of the disks in the pack.

  I was more than satisfied with it until last weekend.

  The computer's power supply has no a way dramatic and chips to the motherboard and processor irreparably.

  The screen and keyboard but I have not been able to test the hard drive yet.

  Looks like I'm going to buy a new computer to replace.

  I saw that there is an option to buy a "bare bones" system installed PC with no operation.

  Could someone confirm that I can install the operating system of my disks in Windows 7 Home Premium without having to buy another copy of the software?

  Thanking you in advance.

  Well, Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade of transfer rights, but since its a license upgrade, the computer you transfer must have a license of qualification prior to (Windows Vista or XP).

• Is it OK to take the operating system from 1 computer and place it in another.

  I have an old laptop running Win 7 Ultimate. I have a new laptop running Win 7 Home Premium. I also bought Win 7 Pro.

  I want to do is put the Win 7 Pro on the old laptop and use the Win 7 Ultimate disk to install on the new laptop.
  I know... probably showing my ignorance on this issue. It seems logical, since I own it, I should be able to do what I want with it. And it's more than likely the case.
  Guess my stumbling here, when I install the Windows 7 Pro on the old laptop (probably releasing Win 7 Ultimate - which is the upgrade for the old and the new - already installed on it), is there a period of time that I should wait before attempting installation Win 7 Ultimate on the new computer laptop?
  Please, any info that can help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you much for your time, consideration and more thoughtful attention, I'm
  Sincerely,

  Hi Victor,

  I am not a lawyer, but don't forget that Windows is allowed, not sold.  When you buy a copy of Windows from the store, you can actually buy the rights to use this software and get a free CD in the process. The CD itself is worthless (in fact that you can go and download all versions of Windows from Microsoft site, legally and for free - but you must buy a license key to use).

  So, it really depends on where the copy of Windows 7 has come.  If the laptop came from the factory with Windows 7 Ultimate, then no it can't be used on any other machine.  It is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) copy licensed for that specific material.

  If you purchased Windows Ultimate yourself the good store, that's different.  It is yours to do whatever you want with it.  You are right that it is only allowed to be used on a system at a time, but you are also good that you are allowed to remove it and put it on another computer, perfectly legal.

• Installation hard drive with Windows XP operating system in another computer

  Why can't I remove the hard drive with Windows XP already active and install in another computer?

  No, you need to reinstall the operating system.  However, if XP and vista came with the computer as OEM software, it cannot be legally activated.  The reason why it does not is the difference in hardware.
