  N ° N ° rule is clear enough. It is a copy (or a license) for
  each computer.

  There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
  effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

  You can install and activate, until, two computers.  So yes, you can install on your new computer to win 10.

  If you have already activated on two, disable (help > deactivate) on your old computer before uninstalling it on your old computer.

• How can I move a good copy of Windows XP Edition family of my G drive to a bad copy of Windows XP Pro onDrive C (startup disk) without destroying all the data and programs I have on these two discs?

  I have a computer that I needed an extra hard drive with a lot more memory that I had on this subject.  I had Windows XP Home Edition on it and was very satisfied with the system.  I came back from the computer repair store and my old hard drive was drive G, with all the old data still on it and a (used) and more C drive was in the unit and it's now my boot drive and I not paid no attention to it, he soiled by Windows XP Professional with service pack two.  I really did not notice the difference and I started to put several other new programs that I need on this computer and I went to work.  After over a long period, I now had a notice that it wasn't a valid Windows product.  I wondered of course that with Microsoft, because I had all my documents, my records, (now lost) and the key that was on the side of my computer.

  Good. You should always do that whenever you buy a used computer.
  Risks are good if you don't.

  You do not reformat first before installing Windows. You
  Just do a clean install and do that begins by reformatting
  the disc for you.
   
  Just boot from the Windows CD (if necessary, change the boot order in)
  the BIOS to CD drive first) and follow the prompts for a
  clean install.

• My HARD drive is dead and I need another copy of Windows XP Edition family. __

  I wonder if there is a way I can download another copy of Windows XP for my laptop, if I have the product key from COA sticker on the bottom of things.  Anyone know if this is possible?  Is there a link I can go?  Thank you.

  I'm sorry, but it is not possible to download Windows XP.  Contact your computer manufacturer and request a Windows XP installation for your model computer disc. Boulder computer Maven

  What is the manufacturer and model of your laptop?

  Visit their web page (the manufacturer) and find their drivers and help section and get the drivers for your model laptop for Windows XP 32-bit.

  You, of course, this done from another machine and using some external media to get it back to the laptop.  You can get * just * wired or wireless network drivers if you wish - you can then use the Internet on the laptop again to get the rest.

• With the help of Windows Vista Edition family and unable to connect to the Netgear router.

  No matter what patches I try, I still, I get a message error "settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network. Two other latops under Xp and Windows 7 connect perfectly.  The user called Geeksquad who told him it was the router. Replaced the router and the same issue. This default laptopp local only access point. Fix regedit for broadcast and Fixit file downloaded here have not solved the problem. Have you tried to push the direct connection button on the router, change the network connections settings... everything. Nothing works. Help, please! The user of this laptop is uber frustrated. I don't know what else to do.

  Geek Squad - use if you do not want necessarily fixed it - but you like overspending for no reason.

  Sounds like a bad driver/software.

  What is the wireless network device in the system in question (I hope that something like Intel...?)

  Is the latest software and drivers from the manufacturer of the device (don't not relying on Microsoft)?

  May need to remove all network components, reset it and install the latest drivers - and if you think Geek Squad would do that...  They could - if you get a child who loves really networking of their own things at home - but the odds are against it.

  No, you cannot because

  1. If it came from HP is an OEM copy and the license for an OEM version limited to the first computer, on which it is installed.

  2 leaving aside the issue of licensing, it can not even install on a different motherboard. If it came from HP, it can be locked the original motherboard BIOS.

• Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  Upgrade/license transfer

  I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

  If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

  Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

  How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

  Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

  Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

  Hello Bob w. NY

  Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

  As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.
