    Since you posted your product key on a public web site, it has now
    almost certainly already been copied and used by hackers all over the
    world. This means that Microsoft disables this button so it can't be
    more used.
     
    Please, in the future, never publish your key like this.
     
    But leaving that aside for the moment, to answer your question, if
    It is a key to the retail sale, Yes, you can use it on another computer. If it's a
    OEM key, no you can't.

    Hey ALEX1987

    No is the answer to your questiion

    A SINGLE license of windows operating system = the ONE installation of windows operating

    and recovery disks are related to the original machine that they are installed on

    If you want to windows 7 on the vista machine consider purchasing a license to upgrade to windows 7

  • I lost the disc to restore my phone and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.

    Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?

    Thank you

    Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you.  I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!).  Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.

    If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.

    I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!

    Thank you much for the help...

    Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.

    Thank you

  • I have Lightroom 4 purchased in disc download format. I'm considering buying a MacBook Pro, but it's not a CDRom. Can I use the serial code for download on MacBook via the internet? I've only used once disks for my iMac.

    I have Lightroom 4 purchased in disc download format. I'm considering buying a MacBook Pro, but it's not a CDRom. Can I use the serial code for download on MacBook via the internet? I've only used once disks for my iMac.

    you need a serial number for mac lr.  the serial number for pc and mac are different.

    Lightroom serial number is unique because it is cross-platform: works on PC and Mac.

    Same serial number for both.

  • If my computer falls down can I use a backup disk to retrieve

    If my computer falls down can I use a backup disk to retrieve

    The best way to start is in safe mode and if it does not progress to a Windows repair disk.

    You haven't said which OS has your laptop or which model is it. Create a Windows for Windows 7 or Vista repair disc, depending on which is installed.

    Always start by trying to restore the operating system to perceive before even to consider so final option as a revaluation. The reasoning behind my statement is simple. An repair is non-destructive. An recovery is destructive and exterminates all what you had on your hard drive and start from scratch with no programs installed.

    BIOS - how to enter the BIOS and change Boot Order To Boot from CD/DVD

    The computer might need to be set to boot from the DVD drive.

    Each computer is different, when you turn on the computer, it should tell you what button to push to get into the BIOS. It is usually one of the following options and you have to push it in the first 5 seconds:

    F1 F2 F10 F12 ESC LED

    Once in the BIOS find the menu with the boot sequence and change it if it starts from the CD/DVD drive first. Each computer is a little different for this process as well, so I can't give exact directions.

    If you can start still not install it:

    Looks like you got the installation discs for the manufacturer of OEM computer, if so those are modified OEM Windows 7 install disks (they aren't the installation discs for Microsoft) and the best answer may come by contacting the manufacturer of OEM computers, because the changes they did make the different installation process then a normal installation disc.

    can I use the debit card for purchases of the appstore?

    Is the debit card issued by your bank to access funds in an account of cheques to the Bank? Or did you buy this debit card at a local store? Apple does not accept debit, sold in stores cards. Often a debit card issued by a Bank works very well.
