Can I reactivate Windows on a new computer because my only original was destroyed by a fire
Hello
The title pretty much describes my situation. I had built a system to end more than a year and a half that I had installed a new copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Unfortunitly I lost my entire apartment in a fire. I had only a few things that survived and my product key and Windows 7 disc was one of them. The laptop I bought has Windows 7 Home Premium installed, but after too many install/UN-install of game demos, I needed a clean install of windows. (Among other reasons).
I try to turn it on right away because I knew there would be problems. Then I got. Now 30 days has passed. I went through the activation problem when I built my system because I installed it on a hard drive in one of my other systems (a 6 burn upwards), then put the hard drive in the system, I built.
Is there anyway that I can still use this copy of Windows 7? I am the owner of original and unique to this copy. There is the system it was originally registered and activated with is no longer.
Thank you in advance.

Nice day.
I want to make a clone of the (c :) drive Reader of my current computer using a program called "EaseUS Todo Backup" if my current computer stops a day, that I want to install this image on a new computer. This software allows an image must be installed on another computer with different hardware etc. Anyone has experience with this. Will I have problems with the license. Can I use the license to the new computer or old, or if I have to buy another license. Would be nice if there is someone out there who actually did this.
Thank you, Jim.I use Todo Backup to reimage computers and I have to fix each time of installation. It has an option called a sector-by-sector backup who could make it bootable when you create the image and restore it on another computer, but it is not guaranteed, it will work, in order to prepare to re - install Windows 7 if necessary.
With respect to the transfer of the license, you can transfer them to another computer if its full version or upgrade retail license. The computer to which you are transferring the upgraded version must have a license of previous qualifying installed such as Windows XP or Vista or even Windows 7.
If the copy of Windows 7 you are trying to image came pre-loaded on your computer, the answer is no, you will need to purchase a new license. It's called an OEM license:
The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

Yes. The product key is everything. If it's the 2010 edition you can download the trial of

and then activate it with your pk.
If it is an edition of 2007, then you will need to borrow another cd. Don't forget to copy the cd for yourself.
If you have some time this is probably a 2007 edition.

How can I reactivate Windows XP?
Got my PC from file system damaged, but now windows don't be loading not unless I have Windows XP automatic internett connecting to microsoft does nothing. How can I reactivate Windows XP Pro?
Hello Raphael,.
Christmas sent me to see if I had something that might help :-)
My understanding of your situation, it's that your computer has a file system corrupted, if you used the manufacturer's recovery process to recover your computer if you "out-of-the-box". I also noticed that you mentioned that recovery has given you the option has not your personal files in a place called "my old file Structures." Unfortunately, the recovery isn't going smoothly 100% and you encounter a problem of activation.
The best tour I have up my sleeve is trying to "rearm" Windows Product Activation XP, which if it works will provide you with a grace period of 30 days, during which you can try to recover and backup your files from the old file Structure My, their credit on another storage (like external HDD or flash drives). Once your data is safe, then you can try to get another and hope this goes more smoothly this time. If this is not the case, your next step would be to contact the manufacturer to acquire the system disks required to run CD/DVD recovery rather than the recovery partition on the hard drive of your computer.
If the computer can be started in a safe mode command prompt, run this option to rearm activation XP:
Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk
The command must be typed exacly as above with space, caps, and comma. Restart, and if it works, you will be able to log in normal mode (as opposed to safe mode) and will be in the 30-day activation grace period.
Assuming that works, save your data, and then try the recovery again. You will want to visit the support pages and community forum hosted by the manufacturer of your computer to search and see if the seeds of recovery are common for your make and model of computer - if yes, it is likely to be a fix for what you can implement.
If this does not work, then your next task is to use an operating system off-line such as BartPE, Ultimate Boot CD, Knoppix, etc., to save your data from the saved location. Once the data is turned off the computer and the safe, you can use the manufacturer's recovery disks (or disc OEM/systembuilder Microsoft at the generic address) to make a good clean install of Windows.
Good luck! :-)

my computer with windows broken and now my new computer does not have windows, is it possible to get windows on my new computer from my old?
Hello
You tell us what type of license you have.
If the former was preinstalled, NO, you cannot transfer it.
Read this information:
If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.
License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
