Can I install windows 8 on 2 computers?

I bought windows8 pro yesterday and installed it on my desktop pc. can I download it on my laptop, too?

Not so much! You can only install Windows on a computer. A = e desktop license.  The only way that you can install Windows on a second computer must first uninstall it from the computer on which it is and then install it on another computer. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

    Yes, it's misinformation. It is not true for any version of Windows.
    With the exception of the pack family of Windows 7 (updated, not a full
    version) the rule is very clear: it is a copy (or a license) for
    each computer.

    There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
    effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

    The big question is why MS took a good (not perfect), Windows Movie Maker for Vista and group a lot less - than to win. Live Movie Maker?

    For your information, Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is just a "water-down" version designed for computers cannot run the built-in Windows Movie maker 6.0

    Windows Movie maker 6.0 comes with Vista.
    2.6 MM Windows does not come with Vista. It is not a 'new' program. It is a compromise version.
    Excerpt from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=34
    Overview

    Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista's Movie Maker version.

    To test whether your computer can run Vista's Movie Maker version:

    1. on the start menu, click all programs.
    2. click on Windows Movie Maker.

    If Movie Maker starts, you must not download version 2.6.

    If you get an error message that says: "Windows Movie Maker cannot start because your video card does not support the required level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration is not available", download and install Movie Maker 2.6.

    .............................................................................................................................................

    Windows Live Movie Maker is better, contrary to what you feel. Maybe, you're just not used to it?

    How can you install version 2.6? Go to the net.

    If you like Windows Movie Maker 6.0 so, here's a tutorial to install it in Windows 7 computers.

  • I can't install windows on MacBook 15 inch 512 GB 2015

    Hello

    I just brought my new laptop I want to install windows on this 10 by bootcamp. I saw a lot of videos on youtube about installing windows on a mac.

    And I have the iso of windows and proceed to installing windows subsequently after that download the file of taking in charge of windows there was an error popup "WINDOWS FILE cannot NOT BE COPYED". Later when I retried but I need to download a media file, so I download the separate media file instead. But how do I add this file to boot camp instead download it again.

    Please help me with it on this error and the Windows Media file. IM using Bootcamp 6.0.1 so I think it's not see option select task during installation windows 10.

    Can I install Windows on mac without having to install the media file. While I can install it later when windows is installed on BOOTCAMP 6.0 NOT the PREVIOUS VERSION.

  • Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?

    Greetings!

    The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.

    I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?

    What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?

    I do not understand your question about "interface."

    The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.

    See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab

    Your computer was preinstalled with:

    Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)

    and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.

    My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.

    Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows.  That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».

    I would stick to my Windows XP but I wanted to upgrade the operating system, and Windows 8 seems kind of funny to me.
    Thanks in advance!

    Visit the page of the driver Toshiba UE and the section download M50D-A Satellite.

    Hello

    Maybe you have an old version of your Windows XP operating system in the Microsoft Windows CD.
    I guess you are not able to install the OS, because some updates and SP are missing on the CD.
    You should try to include service packs of MS, and then install the operating system.

    PS: I put t understand why you n t use the recovery CD. The installation is very simple and al Tosh drivers are pre-installed. OK, it s a Home version but there aren't huge differences of Pro

  • Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 14 p

    Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 14 p?

    .. .thx for any info and/or messages...

    Hello

    Just to clarify something:

    -If you want to install Windows XP Home edition, but do not change the BIOS settings (leave it in AHCI mode) at the beginning of the procedure of facilities you must load a SATA driver by pressing F6. That's only way to install Windows XP Home edition with success
    -You can install WXP without driver SATA, but you must change the compatibility settings. Everything works fine, but if you change the settings on back ACHI you get BSOD every time when you try to start Windows XP Home edition

    If you want to install the SATA driver please install WXP if you use SATA starts the driver before installing Windows XP Home edition.

    If so, how to do this, please?

    I have very little technical knowledge, so easy answers please.
    I would be eternally grateful for any help.

    Thank you very much
    Polly

    Of course you can do it.
    You can install Win 7 If you want to.
    First, go to the BIOS (press F2 during boot)
    In the BIOS disable secure boot with UEFI MSC mode.
    Save the changes and now you could boot from Win 7 disc and could launch the installation.

    But just a note: you read the operating instructions and to create the recovery disk before installing what anyone on the laptop. The recovery disc helps you return to Win 8 in case you want to use again!
