can I use a serial key to install two windows 8 in the same system

If I double boot windows 8 on the same system. for activation, I use the same key for the two installation.
is this possible?

Hello

Windows 8 comes with only on product key (license) that can be activated on a computer at the same time. If you want to enable another computer with him, then he must be uninstalled from any other computer first.
The fact above, as I know, the installed on another partition of Windows 8 will become the second computer and unfortunately you can not use the same key.
Hope this helps, good luck :)

  • Can I use a product key from my laptop Windows 7 Home Premium OA on the newly installed window.

    I want to restart my laptop. I have a copy of windows 7 Home premium since I bought it for my office of game. If I use the CD to install a new window on my laptop. I am able to use my laptop Windows 7 product key to this topic?

    If its licensed OEM System Builder that was never used, Yes. If his license OEM from another computer, no.

    As mentioned, the laptop must already include factory restore options that may allow you to reinstall the operating system from scratch.

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • Can I use is to view and run several executable files from the same GUI?

    No subgroup on the screws still share data space. If you limited the number of instance to a single (this delicate and requires the brain twist) you can use a template in a template, but once again, one instance in each model. If you restruture your code such that the shared sub - VI do not use SR or local storage (as a control not on the connector) you can keep all the specific instance stuff in the model and the PSA to the Sub screws.

  • Can I run a 32 bit AND 64 bit Windows Vista on the same computer version?

    I have laptop SONY VAIO 64 bit and a new digital microscope that has a driver 32-bit. I can't the microscope to work and it is not a driver 64 bits for the microscope. Their tech support suggested the installation of a 32-bit version of Vista on the laptop. Can I do this and still keep the 64 bit version of Vista as my main operating system. This suggestion is practical or even possible?

    Hello

    You can double vista 32-bit and 64-bit on your computer

    BUT you would need to BUY the 32-bit operating system vista to install it

    and Microsoft sells more Vista

    they switched to Windows 7

    and what you want to do with your time if it's for work, because you will constantly change the operating system to use if you use 64-bit for most of your work

  • After you have installed windows 10, I can't use apple wireless key board and mouse magic. any solution

    I am facing a strange situation. I used Win7 on BootCamp. Last week attempted to upgrade to Win10. After the upgrade is perfect, I could not connect to the wifi or wired internet. called the Apple support, Windows supports, no one would help you. Downgraded to Win7, after decommissioning, apple wireless key board and mouse magic does not work. Called Apple support, after nearly 90 minutes of interaction with them, ZERO, no solution result. Apple support told me that an Apple engineer will call me at my appointed time. A call came, but no one answered.

    So, today did a clean install of Win10 through BootCamp. All right, BUT I still can't use apple wireless key board and mouse magic. Can someone help me with this situation? Apple & Microsoft support engineers have failed to help out me. Thanks in advance.

    Have you installed the Boot Camp Windows Support software?

  • Can I use a product key Vista Business OEM with retail Vista Business install disc on the original OEM computer?

    In fact, I have two questions:

    [1] my niece has a HP laptop with a sticker of the OEM Vista Business product key on the bottom. She has no HP restore disks or something like that. The computer was demoted in XP and now there is something wrong and Windows fails to start (goes to blank blue screen with the mouse pointer, no further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business. Can I use its product key with my Vista disks professional retail to install Vista on her computer? It is the key to correct OEM, original to this computer product.

    If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?

    No, this is not possible. I guess that you don't really want
    "retired", and that XP has been installed clean.

    and now there is something wrong and that Windows will not start

    Something new, or it never does to start XP?

    (empty blue screen with the mouse pointer, not go further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business.

    No. an OEM product key does not work with a retail CD. The CD and the
    product key must match with respect to retail vs OEM, complete vs.
    Upgrade and family or professional.

    If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?

    Whatever you do, you must first copy the Word documents and music
    files from external media: CD, DVD, USB keys, eternal hard drive
    etc. Even if could do an upgrade (which you do not have a key for) you
    should do it because there is always a risk of losing everything.

  • Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it?

    Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it. I found a Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and downloaded so I can install it. on my computer, I have the key, but no CD.

    Vista is now at the SP2 level.

    No public download free "legal" of any MS OS does exist, with the exception of trial versions.

    Anything you download from a public site carries the risk of associated malware that can be hidden in the facility and is to be avoided like the plague, it may turn out be a carrier.

    Hello

    There is no free and legal Vista download

    Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

    Microsoft provides no DVD of vista for Dell brand name computers Acer etc.

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
