can I put windows 7 on a laptop that was given to me?

They gave me a laptop, I can put my Windows 7 top?   I have a drive to restore a desktop computer that is dead?  Both Dell Inspiron computers.

You cannot transfer an OEM of Windows from one computer to the other version.  When the original computer dies, the license dies with her.  You can purchase a license upgrade for the laptop that you has been provided and update in this way, assuming he has XP or Vista on it now.

Good luck.

  • I was offered an upgrade of windows 10 on my laptop that is running windows 7, but my wifi button was not working when I installed 10 windows so I started 7 what can I do?

    Hello

    I was offered an upgrade of windows 10 on my laptop that is running windows 7, but my wifi button was not working when I installed 10 windows so I started 7 what can I do? It is an Acer Aspire 5920 G (old enough)

    Thank you.

    There could be a problem with the wifi driver that comes with Windows 10. I think that you first need to find the right driver for Windows 10 on the Acer site. Otherwise, you may need to install a usb wireless card.

  • How can I get a license of Windows 7 for a laptop that had 8 pre-installed Windows?

    Hi all, a few weeks ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite (from retail store) that came with Windows pre-installed on it 8. It did come with any CD or serials, and the only indication of Windows 8 is a small sticker on the back that said simply "Windows 8"and door Windows 8 logo in Brown.»

    Short time (30 minutes) after trying Windows 8 on the laptop, I was fed up with it and all, wiped install Xubuntu instead of Windows 8. And now I'm eager to return to Windows, although not of Windows 8.
    How would it be possible for me to get a key and an image of Windows 7 to install? I don't know where to go, given that the laptop came with no documentation of Windows. I don't have the serial number of the laptop.
    Thank you!

    You can "downgrade" to win 7 BUT dependent on the Lim, it may void your warranty and there is perhaps no drivers for your computer with windows 7.

    Putting aside the modern splash screen (which you can ignore at startup) win 7 and win 8 are very similar.  If you don't like the modern user interface, you don't need to use it.

  • Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data?

    Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data? This should be a CD because it doesn't have a floppy disk on my laptop drive. It is maybe that my hard drive has begun to fail and therefore cannot locate XP startup files. I can not start using one of the other methods of starting for example. Safe mode. If I can recover the data, I can then reload Windows and check the surface of the disc etc etc. Thank you all for your comments. Steve

    Lately, I'm leaning toward the Hiren's BootCD you can download here:

    http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

    On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the most recent version

    The download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

    Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

    Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

    The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract theHirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

    Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

    File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

    If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your new bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.
    These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.

    It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.  You will feel at home.

    Using the Mini XP, you can access the Internet, maneuver around your system, copy files, replace the files, run the scans for malware, etc.  There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system, or copy files to another device such as a USB device or an external drive if drop in trying to repair your system.

    If you want to see if you can fix your system, describe what is happening when you try to start and to answer these questions:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  • I have a laptop that was originally shipped with Vista Business. He was then recharged to Windows XP.

    I have a laptop that was originally shipped with Vista Business. He was then recharged to Windows XP. I am trying to reload Windows Vista but I only have a Vista installation disc Home premium and the activation code for Enterprise edition is not be accepted. Is it possible to download the Enterprise edition or get a new activation code?

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • I have windows 7 key to business, how can upgrade to windows 10. I see that it is not included in the upgrade process

    I have windows 7 key to business, how can upgrade to windows 10. I see that it is not included in the upgrade process.

    In some forum I read, I can upgrade with a small charge for windows 7 ultimate, and after that I can move on to W10. Someone can tell me where and how do I upgrade to W7Ultimate?

    Thank you

    Windows 7 Enterprise is a volume license customer, it is not eligible for the free upgrade offer. If you have Windows 7 Enterprise through your employer, contact the network administrator or your Help Desk Support staff for more information on the upgrade to Windows 10 company.

    If you need Windows 10, you can purchase one license other wise, then perform a custom installation. You will need to reinstall the drivers and applications and also to save your personal files.
