• Can I install Windows XP on a new drive with the product key only?

  The hard drive on my HP desktop computer failed and died.  I don't have a recovery disk.  Can I reinstall windows XP on a new drive as Windows XP product key is located on the cover of PC.  If so, how?  Any suggestion please!

  With the procuct only key?  No, you cannot, the product key is just a combination of 25 alphanumeric characters, where the installation files will come from?   You will need to contact HP for a recovery disc.

• Old computer is dead, HARD drive still alive. Can I install windows 7 on your new computer without formatting the old HARD drive?

  My old desktop computer recently died of a motherboard failure.  As I understand it, I should be able to install windows 7 from my old computer to the new, but only if I delete the old installation.

  Does this mean that I have to format the old HARD drive?  Because the old computer HARD drive seems to be alive, I would retrieve the data on a new machine first, before I have to format and I need to install windows on the new computer to get the data from the old HARD drive.

  No, it is taken on trust that the old installation is no longer active, there is no mechanism to remove the old license in order to make a valid new. Remove the Windows directory (or rename) makes the old system inoperative.

  You find that the automatic authentication fails on new construction and need to call the licensing Center to check that you have only one installation. Apart from the OEM rules if a license has been activated too often, and recently, it fails in a 1 time.

  I bought a laptop (compaq F30 us in the United States) and windows original vista came with the compaq laptop (bought in US). Now, I want to buy a desktop computer and sell the laptop without windows vista software. Is there a way I can install windows vista in my new office. I don't have the cd or the software with me key since they have not provided for me at the time of purchase

  Hello

  No there is no way, how the do, because the license of Windows Vista is part of the computer compaq laptop - this is the license OEM - and cannot be separated.

  (in case the laptop is broken and cannot be repaired, then the license expiresand cannot be used on another computer)

• Professional PC: install Windows 7 on a new PC

  I intend loading Windows 7 on my new business PCs are there any settings I need to change? What should I know?

  Hey Bill,.

  Windows 7 can be installed on most recent business PCs. There are some requirements and parameters, as you should be aware.

  • First of all, you can not install Windows 7 on a computer with a 7th generation of processor.
  • You must change the version of the TPM secure on the PC or install a fix from Microsoft.
  • You must use the legacy (non-UEFI) mode in the BIOS.
  • You need your own copy of Windows 7 and a license for Windows Professional 10.

  You can find more information and measures to http://www.hp.com/support/Windows7and10TPMFAQ

• How can I install Windows XP on Satellite L40 - 17R?

  I tried to install windows XP on my new L40 - 17R.
  I get a msg says that I don't have a HARD drive.

  I enter the WOOD so I can find a setting for SATA HDD to turn it off as I do in my old ASUS.
  But I have not found anything to the HARD drive in the BIOS.

  So can any body please help me how can I do to install windows XP?

  I will be grateful

  You do not need to disable anything in the BIOS. Simply install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and the operating system will recognize the HARD drive.
  You are going to install the SATA (Storage Manager) driver for the external USB floppy drive or you will use nLite software to build an own XP CD and include the SATA driver in the new XP.

• can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system

  can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system

  Depends on if you can get the drivers for your Windows 2000-compatible hardware; you need to verify that hardware manufacturers laicists site to check the drivers. Most of the hardware manufacturers are not even the creation of drivers for Windows XP that is newer than Windows 2000.

  Check out the thread below (specifically the post from Andre Da Costa) from earlier today about the installation of Windows 2000 as a virtual machine.

  MG 7720 - "MP Drivers not can be installed" - Windows 7, router wireless

  It is a Canon PIXMA printer - new.  Everything seems to be downloading fine until it gets to the stage where the MP drivers are downloaded.  At this point, an error message is displayed: "MP Drivers could not be installed" I tried to install with the method of USB cable but no luck there.  I'm at my wits end at this point.  All the advice - please help.  Thank you.

  Hello.

  Try to temporarily disable all firewall or anti-spyware programs on the system when running the installation.  It may be possible that another program is preventing the MP Drivers Installer.

• Can we install Windows Vista instead of Windows 8?

  We bought a new laptop of Dell XPS with Windows 8 two months ago.  We hate it!  Are we able to install Windows Vista on this new laptop using the disc that we had from our old computer?

  Hello

  If Vista is preinstalled on the old computer (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), it is an OEM license and as such is not transferable.

  If this Vista license was a license to retail, bought and installed by yourself, yes you are allowed to transfer, as long as it is only installed on a machine.

  In other words:

  OEM license: NO transfer.

  Retail price: Yes, you can.

  And first of all whether Dell has Vista drivers available for Windows 8 machine.

  If no driver available, you're wasting your time.

  See you soon.
