without complications.

Sorry, but your question isn't clear. There are two main issues:

1. If you have installed on a Vista-based computer, you can * not * install it on another. The rule is quite clear. It is a copy (or a license) for each computer.

There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that was in effect on all versions of Windows starting with Windows 3.1.

2. If you want to remove Vista from the computer, it is installed on and move it to another computer, you * may * be able to do this. If it is a copy retail, fine - no problem to do that. But if it is an OEM copy (for example if it is preinstalled on the computer), no you can not do. The biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first it is installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold, or given to outside (except with the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

    What virus? How do you know if you're a? What anti-virus program
    are you running?

    It is very rare that you need to reinstall Windows because you are
    infected by a virus. A good antivirus program should be able to
    Remove it for you, and it is much easier to reinstall
    Windows, reinstall all your programs, reloading of your data backups.
    install the necessary drivers, etc.. And reinstall Windows often leads
    to its own problems.

    but I'm not sure how to reload Windows. I have a product key but no disc because it came not preloaded on the laptop.

    You probably have a recovery partition which is there to be used for
    This effect. Read the manual of your laptop computer or contact the manufacturer
    for instructions on how to do it.

    The manual also has instructions on how to burn the content of the
    This partition on a DVD, so you'll have something so hard drive
    crashes. Who should be the first thing you did when you got
    the computer and if you have not yet done so, you should do so as soon as POSSIBLE.

  • Can I reinstall Windows 7 without a disc?

    I had problems with my computer and I had to reinstall Windows.  The computer works fine now, but the problem is that I had a Windows Vista disk (the computer was shipped with Vista).  However, shortly after I bought my laptop, I've upgraded to Windows 7 (student edition or something like that) but I did via the internet; I never had a disc.  So when I reinstalled Windows, I reinstalled Vista.  I want to know is there a way for me to reinstall or "reupgrade" from my computer to Windows 7 without disc.

    If you purchased Windows from the Microsoft Store, you can log on to your account and select the correct level of bit for download, then download.

  • I can't reload Windows XP because the disk is an oler (SP1a) version. Any tips?

    My laptop is good in a few years so the disc is SP1a (Windows XP Home).  When I tried to reload that I could not because the disc was an older version that is installed on my laptop.  Probably because he had over time upgraded to SP3.   I looked at Microsoft to see if I can download Windows XP with SP3, but as far as I can tell I can only download SP3 itself which leaves me with the problem of how can I load my SP1a disc in the first place.  Advice most welcome. Thank you.

    Looks like you have the recovery disk or you perform a repair installation. If you re-install Windows with a disk that contains a sp that is older than the currently installed sp error you receive is the same as you describe. If the disc you have is not a recovery disk, you can use a process called "slipstreaming" to add sp3 to disk. Moreover, if the Windows disk does not have a recovery disk, you should get the option to delete all existing partitions. This option is presented once the installation looking for older versions of Windows that are currently installed. Then you should see a screen like this. The image below shows only a single partition. There may be more. In any case, you simply read the instructions on the screen to remove existing partitions. This translates into a "clean install". Let me know if you see a screen similar to the one below and I will guide you through the process of slipstreaming mentioned previously.

    Edit: Just so you know, that the creators of the disc sp1a is because the full version of sp1 is not required to upgrade to sp2 or sp3. The creators of disc apparently had inside knowledge a new sp was about to be released. Therefore, the sp light version was added.

  • How can I test Windows 8 without losing my way back to Windows 7?

    You may have found yourself on the fence about installing Windows 8, you're not sure if you like it on this system including, or not, but don't want to not lose the files you had before installing Windows 8 or must go through another reinstall process to go back to Windows 7.

    Well, there is another way that is often forgotten.  Windows 7 has the ability to make a hard disk image.  It's basically a clone of the drive because it is when the image is made and it is stored on a set of DVDs or an external hard disk (user's choice).

    Of course, this must be done before installing Windows 8.

    1. first of all, do a repair of Windows 7 as function of this guidedisc.   This

    2. create a system image according to this guide.

    3. If you do not like how Windows 8 running on the system, you can restore the image of the system already manufactured by following this guide.  The image of the system should recover the system to exactly how it was when the image was made.

    It's just a way to test the system changes, such as a different operating system and have a way to go back.

    I hope this information helps.

  • How can I reinstall windows xp without the disc, with only the key to sting.

    Hi jesse,.

    What is the brand and model of your computer? You have the restore disc that came with the computer. If the recovery partition is still intact, you may be able to reset it to factory settings, but I can't tell you how much, until you post the manufacturer and model of your computer.

  • I lost everything, my hard drive is blank. I tried recovering files without success. How can I reinstall windows XP without the operating drive?

    My computer came with Windows XP installed and NO CD with the operating system, I haven't bought referbished system off eBay, there is no manufacturer to contact discs... help please! = ~ D not drive for the Windows XP operating system and no way to get the drive's operating. There is no way to recover my OS. Can't afford to buy a new Windows, please I need my computer to manage my eBay business! Can you give me a way to reinstall Windows XP by using my valid license key? = ~ D

    What do you mean by "I've lost everything? What have you done or what happened? Do you have valuable data on your hard drive and hear you because she is 'empty '? What is a malware problem? Or something else?

    The Ebay seller was obliged to provide you with the means to restore the PC to its original state (Yes, I'm aware that many sellers that they don't only not this rule). There may be a hidden hard disk restore partition.
    What is the brand, model and model number of your PC? Your PC came with XP Home, XP Pro or XP MCE? What level of SP (Service Pack)? Your PC has a sticker of COA on it? If so, what operating system is listed on it?
    If you use a PC to manage a business, it is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL that you have a method to regularly backup all your files! I recommend to start another thread for how to do this!
  • Tried all your suggestions, but still cannot fix the runtime error. How can I reinstall Windows 7 without losing everything?

    I tried a soft boot, it does not solve the problem.  I deleted all the redistributable files from Microsoft, and then restarted, I still have the same error message, even if I had deleted the files.  I reinstalled the updated files, the problem persists.  I'm frustrated and tired of this and now just want to know how to reinstall Windows 7 Premium Edition while preserving my other programs and files.

    If you reinstall, you will need to backup your data, do the reinstall, and then reinstall your programs.  And before that, you will need to have all the drivers from the manufacturer of your computer.  If you can restore to the factory settings, which may save you the hassle of dealing with drivers.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is approximately $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.
