Can I reinstall my OS from Windows 7 OEM and reinstall my Windows 8 Pro update the store?
Hi people,
Happy holidays!
Ask yourself if you can help me with something... I just got my computer to my new Acer's OEM recovery media and wonder; I wanted to reinstall my original Windows 7 OS came with my computer in order to recover the programs that I've accidentally screwed up and lost during my special upgrade Windows 8 Pro I had when the store was to have the $14.99. I want to know if it is possible for me to re - install all the original media to the new drive and then run the Upgrade Advisor, follow it through, reinstall my Windows 8 Pro by using the product key that I bought at the time? Which will work? I don't have a recovery disk for the Pro Windows 8, just my product key which is saved for me. And no, there is not any Windows.old folder to reinstall the programs of the recovery partition. And no, I don't mean to update my Windows 8 Pro. I'm looking for an easy way to do what I'm not a type of technology! I appreciate all help. Thank you!
Hello
Yes, you can reinstall Windows 7 using the disc sent by the computer manufacturer. Once Windows 7 is installed, then you can move to Windows 8. Product key Windows 8 will work, and probably you may need to contact the activation of phone to the activation service.
Thank you.

Can I reinstall Win7 recovery disks without all the other stuff that goes with it?
It's time to clean this HPE-510 PC. It's a slow and clumsy mess. I have a set of five CDs in a stimulus package that I bought from HP. (Why so much?) If someone has purchased a copy of Windows 7 in a store they would get more than one disc?
What I really want to know.
After I reformat or wipe the HD can I install just Windows 7 and maybe Office Starter and nothing else? I don't want unnecessary stuff that came with the PC. Is there something in addition to Windows and Office, I really need?
Thank you
Richard
Hello
Five 5 DVD CD? Why so much of? Well, they all contain the installation program (including drivers) for you to grab the device to the factory settings.
If someoe bought a Windows 7 DVD in the store, they will receive ONLY 1 disc and it is the Windows 7 installation disc that contains packed (or compressed in one direction) files for Windows 7 only, no real drivers.
After installing Windows 7, you need all the drivers for your machine then Office Starter (if you could find it now). You also need something to protect your computer as a software virus or Windows Security Essentials.
Kind regards.

a Q dumbo? ~ is elements Photoshop (a) a unique, one device download dvd? (b) a load of multi dvd device? (c) an account that I can access it from any device. , and finally, it is an account of the life, a single payment? Sorry, if it's simplistic, but nowhere in the contract the descriptions are these addressed facts?
PES is a one-time purchase. You can buy a DVD at retail in an electronics store or as a download from Adobe. You have 2 activations for non-simultaneous use and the license is croos-platform for Windows and OSX if you wish.

If I install CC on one computer, then after having worked on this computer for awhile I install United Nations. Is that what I can then reinstall CC on another computer under the same license? Thanks for your attention
You can activate the product on two computers, if are not the product on a computer before the uninstall, it is always better to disable the CC from this computer.
To turn off
launch no matter what CC products and click Help > log out.

How can I selectively transfer files from an iMac 2009 to a new iMac in 2015? The two running os 10.11.3.
I do it with a G4 OS Tiger and the Mavericks MacBook by plugging into an Ethernet jack on my router and by enabling the sharing of files on the G4 in System Preferences > sharing. If items are placed in a folder called 'Public', it can be read by anyone on the network by logging in as a guest. Otherwise, if I login with my user ID on this computer I get access read/write for all of my folders.
