Can I transfer my Windows 7?

I have a computer now with Windows 7. This winter, I am building a PC and I need an OS, can I take this 7 and copy it to the new computer?

If Windows 7 is shipped with your computer, you are unable to transfer it.

If it is a license purchased in retail store, Yes, you can transfer as long as you remove it from the current computer.

If its a retail upgrade license, you must have a license for version previous qualification installed on the new computer in order to to use.

  • Can I transfer my Windows 8 on a DVD backup on a new computer?

    In April 2014, I took a paid upgrade for Windows 8 and asked for a backup drive. Since then, I have installed 10 Windows on the same machine. Now, I want to buy/build a new computer. Can I transfer my license by using the backup disc, which is still sealed?  I can't see the code on the disc packaging.

    Windows 8 upgrade license is taken over by the upgrade of Windows 10.  No doubt your upgrade path extends to everything you had before moving to 8.  The answer is 'no '.  The license is in use.

    I have a few problems and have to reformat my desktop computer. I can't save anything, but I have most of my files and folders transferred to my new laptop. My question is, the Office has a VISTA 64 bit OS and the laptop has a 64-bit WINDOWS 7 OS. Can I use easy transfer to trans iron files & back files of the laptop on the desk.

    Thank you

    Hi Peter,.

    Windows Easy Transfer generally works from a lower to a higher version of Windows or the same version of windows.

    You can try to download the Windows Vista 64 - bit easy transfer and try to transfer the files and folders and check if it works. If it does not from Windows 7 to Vista, then you must manually copy the files and folders using USB drives.

    For more information, you can consult the following articles.

  • Can I transfer my Windows 7 Starter to my office in the Tower?

    OK, so I want to know if it is possible for me to install my Windows 7 Starter netbook on my XPS Gen 4 computer (which is currently under XP) and transfer the license on with her. I know that the starter is a Lite version, but I do not have too much more that a new start for my dying computer until I update. I never use my netbook so he gets absolutely no use.

    Hello

    Netbooks come with Windows 7 Starter Edition preinstalled (Acer, Asus, etc.) and are therefore an OEM license.

    OEM licenses are not transferable to another machine.

    OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on OEM license dies when dies of this machine.

  • How can I transfer my Windows XP from one computer brand new without the CD it came with?

    I'll buy a new hard drive for my computer and I want to put Windows XP, Microsoft Office 2007 and Adobe Acrobat on the new hard drive.  I have the product id for XP but not the product key or CD.  Can someone tell me how to proceed?

    The product key for Windows is on the computer. However, don't do you much good if you don't have a way to install Windows. You must have the product key and installation for Office 2007, which is separated from Windows Media. You install Adobe Acrobat your media and product key, they sent you when you bought it.
