  • Can I install Windows 7 on another computer if the first installation on another computer has been deleted before activation?

    Here's my situation: I installed an oem version of Windows 7 on a computer, I've set up - downloaded all the updates. I have not activated yet. Now I changed my mind about the operating system I want to install on this computer. Because the software was not enabled can I remove and install in the future on another computer? Or Microsoft knows somehow I installed the operating system on a computer, even if I do not activate it.

    Only the activation records material signature in the Activation of MS servers to compare to reinstall or check the real.  What you have now is an installation not enabled with probable 30 days to activate.

    You are wise to wait to be sure because once the OEM version is activated in the EULA, it can be moved to another motherboard.  However since OEM became the only Windows 7 Home or Pro version available there are some reports of agents activating MS make exceptions to move with a good cause.  But this cannot count on.

    I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

    Hello

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.

    Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.

    p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

  • How can I install Windows 8 of my 1.5 TB external harddrive without formatting?

    Well I finally decided to move to Windows 8 (starting from Windows 7 x 64), but I'm stuck in a weird situation here...  I image .iso Windows 8 with me but I will not be burn on a DVD, the only option would be either use a USB key or an external HARD disk... Unfortunately my 16 GB USB DRIVE no longer works (and the .iso image file does not in my other USB drives I had remaining)... So I decided to use my drive external HARD on the contrary - but there's another problem... about 750 GB on my HARD drive is full (there are all my files, movies, music, games, etc) and the rest is 'empty '...

    So, how can I install Windows 8 of this external HARD drive without formatting? Since I don't have any other "spare" hard drives or USB keys with a lot more storage capacity...  And I can't keep them in my laptop because it has only 500 GB...

    Can I partition my external HARD drive and secure all my files in one partition, and format the other partition to use it to install Windows 8 on my laptop somehow...?

    You can create a partition on your HARD drive and install Windows inside with Universal USB Installer
    Here's how you create a new Partition
    • Open disk management
    • Right click on the partition that you want to split > Shrink > select size > Ok
    • Unallocated space will appear
    • Right-click on > Format give a letter

    OR you can install windows on a different partition from your internal HARD drive

    You can create a partition in the internal drive and extract files inside Windows and make it bootable with EasyBCD (3rd party free program to change startup options and other things)
    • Create a new partition using disk management
    • Extract the files to install Windows inside
    • Open EasyBCD > add new item > WinPE > search for X:\Sources\boot.wim > add
    • Reboot and choose the new element added to the startup in
    I used this method once and it worked

  • 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.

    Hello

    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...". ».
