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.

Hello! I changed my computer. How can I transfer my Photoshop CS4 (I bought in 2010) to the new computer please? Sorry for my English. I have a number of error message 6. I guess that something with the license? But I bought it in 2010. On my profile on adobe.com account, I see this old order, but I don't know how to install it on the new computer? Help, please. Thank you!
If you install on a single computer, you can go ahead and install it on the new given that you are allowed to have installed on two computers.
If you have already installed on two computers you must disable it in the old program first, and then you can install it in the new computer.
If you have installed on two computers and cannot turn off (bad disk hard e.g.), you can contact Adobe and let them turn off all your computers, then you can install it on the new computer.

Pre-installed Windows 7
My laptop came with pre installed Windows 7, but now its dead as motherboard had burntout. So I am planing to buy a new system. I have the product key of Windows from the thumbnail below my old laptop, I use the product key or I have to buy a new copy of windows
The copy of Windows 7 that came with this laptop is LINKED to this laptop. It goes with her, even in death.
If you get the laptop repaired, then you can use the method/support of the manufacturer of the laptop gave you to restore the operating system on that now resurrected system. If not - you bought the rights for the whole package - not the individual components.

Would appreciate help from the members of the Forum.
The drive on my Acer Z5610 is overheating and stop unexpectedly. I bought a new 1 TB WD HARD drive. I tried loading the Acer recovery CD 3 I initially created in order to load all applications touch etc, but received a message to say that I got at loading Windows. The computer came pre loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, so I did not all Windows disks. My question is: How can I transfer Windows 7 on my new HARD drive so I can begin to rebuild the PC?
Hello
I think that you have created the driver & application backup, if this is the case & * if the old HDD is still detected & boots you could create a factroy restore discs, if not then you might even get to store.acer.com.
