Can I transfer Windows XP from one computer to another

I have a laptop with windows XP, when I tried to update, it tells me that the software is not genuine...  I got this computer in gift :) but:(pour le dérangement...)      Well, one of my friends has a non-functional computer with XP genuine, my question is, can I move it to my laptop? Someone told me is possible, but I need to appeal to Microsoft Corporation...

Thanks for your replies

If your laptop has a version of Windows OEM, it cannot be moved to another computer. If a product is 'Full' of the Retail version and assumnig you have a valid product key, then Yes you can move. Retail 'Upgrade' version requires CD (which you own) of Windows 98 or ME, to complete the upgrade.

  • Install Windows 7 from one computer to another

    Hi all

    I got this question I was not able to find an answer yet and I wonder if anyone of you could help me out here.

    I had a laptop that I use for work, which has Windows 7 Ultimate and a lot of software and personal files, I need. I recently bought a new more powerful laptop that will replace the one I use at the moment.

    My question is,

    Can I do a full to the top of the computer that I use and put it on the new computer, I will get? And then update the laptop with its own pilots?
    Is worth it to do a cleaning installation at all instead?
    Is it possible to transfer files and software from one machine to another using some sort of tool such as that used for XP to 7 or Vista to 7? Do we not have a Win 7 for Win 7 one?

    Thank you
    Sam

    Hi sam,

    You can take a full backup of the data on your computer and transfer it to the new computer, but for the application, you need to install a new copy of the same thing.

    You can even use transfer Windows-a tool that helps you transfer files and settings from one computer to the other. But as you mentioned that you transfer to a powerful computer hardware and software conflict may appear, if you have a full backup you can perform a clean installation.

  • How to transfer a project from one computer to another file

    Hello

    In order to burning a DVD on my laptop that is older, I'm trying to transfer a working from a library folder and insert it into another on the old computer. I used a USB key. All the data has been transferred, but how do i:

    1) enter a library on the old computer? I DID this, but it will not appear in the Final Cut. I "Showed the content" and it allowed me to put the file in THIS library, but it will not appear in the column "libraries."

    (2) create its OWN library on the old computer?

    Thank you.

    Mike Scully

    Stay out of the whole library. This is a complex database. If the components have moved the database becomes useless. Pretty much all you need to do inside the library can be done from the inside of the PCF.

    If you cannot move the entire library from one machine to another on an external drive, you can move a project of a new library. That will copy only the clips used in the project. You can take it on the other machine. You can also export a master file and consider on the other machine to make the DVD. It is perhaps the simplest.

  • Transfer the license from one computer to another Lightroom supported?

    Hello

    I have an old computer at home that I use to develop my photos. I bought the Lightroom license and now before I install, I want to know if this copy can be reinstalled and the license transferred to a new machine when I update my machine.

    In addition, the number of computers can legally install the product?

    Raja

    Yes. A single license of Lightroom allows you to install the program on two separate computers, Windows or Mac or both, but that a facility can be used at any time. If you buy a new computer, you can simply uninstall the program from your computer and install it in the new without violating the license agreement.

  • Windows upgrade from one computer to another

    We have improved our laptop to win 10 can I use win 7 form my other computer I have xp on which is the key to windows laptop win 7

    Because Windows 7 has been used as an eligible basic license to qualify for the free upgrade to Windows 10, you can not transfer. This is especially true if the license of Windows 7 is pre-installed on this laptop.

    If you want to upgrade your Windows XP laptop to Windows 7, you will need to purchase a license of Windows 7.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    then paste the emp.dmp file in a place like d:\ in your college system.
    then, from your college system, run

    IMP scott/tiger leader tables = d: \emp.dmp = dept

    now on your College within the scott schema database you should see the lines and the table dept.
