Yes, you can transfer it to the new computer and restart phone.

If this is an upgrade license, the computer you transfer must have a license of previous qualification.

You may need to reactivate by phone:

    No, you need to reinstall the operating system.  However, if XP and vista came with the computer as OEM software, it cannot be legally activated.  The reason why it does not is the difference in hardware.

  • Can I install Windows XP first so I can install my upgrade Windows 7 operating system.

    Installation of Windows 7

    I had originally bought and downloaded the upgrade of Windows 7.  I am now faced with having to re - install Windows 7 because I'm upgrading to disks.  What I have to install Windows XP, then 7 because I bought the upgrade or there at - it a way to install 7 directly without having to go through the extra step... Thank you!

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    Recovery disks can only retrieve an operating system installed. If there is no OS on this system, you will need to purchase a copy of an online retailer that Microsoft no longer sells it.  You may want to consider earning 10 instead of win 7 because it will be supported more than 7

    Hello.  I'm currently editing digital music pdf using Adobe Acrobat DC on a Lenovo tablet with Windows 7 operating system.  Adobe Acrobat rejects the analysis as unchangeable.  I export the scanned pdf to MS Word and re-export to AADC in pdf format.  This can be cropped, but the edit function does not allow the movement of the measures (or 'skin measures text') within a team.  I am producing pages with 3 litters per page and 3 measures by staff who can be sufficiently enlarged to a blind musician.  My failure to change the measures so far means there is too much information by page and the page can be expanded properly. Advice please.  Thank you.  Charles.

    This is well beyond what Acrobat is intended - not just a little far, but a lot. PDF is therefore completely inappropriate for this.

    Address bits scan and cutting/organizing her before making a PDF. Maybe in Photoshop.

  • Which windows server operating systems can I use for the host?

    I am a newbie to vmware. I'm dumping MS Virtual Server 2005 R2 for vmware Server 2 due to his support for usb devices and sound.

    My goals are in order... stable, reliable and performance.

    The big question is... operating system that I use to host?

    Windows Server 2003 x 64 Enterprise Edition

    Windows Server 2003 R2 x 64 Enterprise Edition

    Windows Server 2008 x 64 Enterprise Edition

    Windows Server 2008 x 64 Enterprise Edition without Hyper-V

    Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 Enterprise Edition

    I agree, you can't go wrong with Server 2003 as a VMware host OS. We have standardized on using Ubuntu 8.04.1 as our host operating system, but before you make the choice, we did tests with up to 32 virtual machines running simultaneously on a Dell PE 2950 with two Quad Core Xeon, 32 GB of RAM and 6 300 GB 15kRPM SAS drives in RAID 10. We found stability and performance under Server 2003 Enterprise to be just as good as in Ubuntu Linux. Our choice of Ubuntu as our host what OS was unrelated to performance or defects of stability in 2003 and I recommend it as a VMware host to any operating system.

    It is no longer available via adobe and if buy you it to someone else, that you will probably have problems running.  I think that it is compatible with win 98 but I don't know if it's available for you using compatibility mode.

  • How findout if all the partitions have been deleted and now a laptop that has Windows 8 operating system using Windows Vista with a shell IE 9?

    I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.

    When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.

    When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Start > type CMD

    Right click on CMD and select run as administrator

    Type diskmgmt.msc

    Press enter

    This opens where you can view the partitions on the disk management system

    Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend?  Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?

    http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition

    Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system.  To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.

    To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig

    Click on the Startup tab

    You see two operating systems listed?  Windows 8, Windows Vista

    http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/

    I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions

    400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)

    • 300 MB EFI System Partition
    • 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
    • 17 GB Partition Recovery
    • 220 GB of Partition primary

    Windows Vista has drive C and drive D

    Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.
