    Yes, don't worry if you migrate to the same operating system (Mac or Win).

    Catalogue conversion works well.

    If you plan to migrate to another computer, you need to transfer your image files as your catalogs, which means that you can use the backup and restore method:

    Organizing moving items catalogue | Elements 6 or later version

    When you use this method, the restore process recognizes if the database version is the same. If it is newer, it invites you to convert the catalog after the restoration.

    To transfer the software elements itself, you will need to:

    -Use the Help menu > disconnect deactivate your license from the old computer

    -Reinstall the software

    -use the same menu to sign with your product license key.

    Hi Dorene33,

    ·         What exactly happens when you try to download the software?

    ·         You receive an error message?

    ·         You are able to access drive from devices and printers?

    ·         What happens exactly when you double click on the drive and try to open it?

    I suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malware

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

    Hope this information helps.

  • Activation of Windows XP in the new computer.

    -Old hard drive, the new Machine

    I have a hard drive with Windows XP.  The machine from Dell, in which it was loaded crashes - most likely a motherboard problem.  I installed the HDD on another machine that has had its hard drive failure - virus suspected, etc..  The combination of 'new' hard drive with Windows XP and the Dell with the card mother work seems to work.  I get the error that I have to reactivate Windows XP to connect.  I can't connect Internet (I have not discovered why in this case) and the result by telephone (voice) says that ID is not on file (?) and gives a Web site for activation.  I can't access the Web on the machine, and the Microsoft Web site with the "solution" has the answer in form of download - once again, not good because I can't access the Web with the machine in need of activation.  The phone translates a computer, not a person.  I changed nothing other than to remove the hard drive of a machine which does not to whoever's doing.  What can I do?  Thank you.

    The operating system of Windows XP which is not the operating system on which was installed when you purchased the Dell hard disk from Dell? If so, it's probably an OEM version and as such is "related" to the system BIOS, it came with. It will not activate connected to a system with a different motherboard and a different BIOS. In addition, if an OEM, software license version is no longer valid because it is no longer used with the material with which it was purchased.

    The reason why you can't get an Internet connection is bound. Since the XP system on the hard drive has been used in the Dell system, it is configured to be used in the Dell. There the drivers for the Dell hardware installed. You will need to identify the current computer's ethernet card, download and install the appropriate drivers for this card.

    It is a method for activation of the phone:

    How to activate Windows XP by phone:
    To contact a Microsoft customer service representative to activate Windows by phone, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, point to programs, point to Accessories, point to system tools, and then click on activate Windows.

    Or,

    1. click on the Activation of Windows in the notification area icon.
    2. click on Yes, I want to telephone a representative of active windows customer service now.
    3. click read the Windows Product Activation privacy statement, click back, and then click Next.
    4. follow the steps to activate Windows by phone dialog box, and then click Next.

    Good luck

  • Activation of Windows 8 on the new computer

    I bought a new computer HP Envy and after turn on and through the stages of windows 8 for the first time, I did a windows update.  That's when the trouble started.

    When the update is finished, he gave me the message saying that the update failed and returning changes.  This change in recovery took some time.  After that is completed, windows is activated is no longer and he wants me to activate windows 8 by buying another key.

    I called HP and after many hours with their technology support the people, and re-start with restoration media which they sent me and get another key windows 8 Microsoft and typing in this new key, I have finally reactivated windows 8, did the updates, only to find the exact message update failed and there back the changes.

    Now, windows is not activated yet and I'm in the same place that I was two weeks ago.

    This seems to be a software problem, but how can I solve this problem?

    Well, I managed to upgrade my computer to windows 8.1.  The download took a lot of time.  After the upgrade, I typed in the same product activation code and he accepted as he had all of the previous times.  This time however, he did not that windows is not activated.  After several times, it still works well.

    I guess that it was a type of windows 8.0 but that 8.1 fixed.

  • EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

    My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

    Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

    OK, so try this utility: http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

    But don't be surprised if it does not work with the version of Win10 that you have installed.

  • I bought windows 8 pro discs, then my computer is dead, I can install it on the new computer of windows 8 and how do I do this?

    Also, what is the difference between the pro version and the Windows 8.1 update? I'm not a pro like you old guys, simple answers would be really appreciated, thanks.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft community!

    1. Yes, you can re - install Windows 8 on a different computer.  Before you re-install in another computer, please make sure that you remove Windows 8 to the computer that you have already installed software license terms Microsoft lets a copy must be installed on one computer only.
      To remove Windows 8 of the current computer, you must perform a clean installation of Windows 8. Install with previous operating system drive (Windows 7\ Vista\XP). This removes Windows 8 in the current computer and install the previous operating system.
      Note: You may lose all your data when you perform a new installation, so please back up all data before installing the previous operating system.
      Once you have removed Windows 8 from the current computer, download Windows 8 in the new computer and install. When installing, please provide the same license key that you used during your first installation of Windows 8. You can also find this key in the purchase confirmation email that you received.
    2. As your second question, Windows 8.1 will be a free update for users of Windows 8. Which means, you must have a version of Windows 8 in order to install Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 brings updates for the Windows 8 Pro(or any other Windows 8 version). See the following links to learn more about Windows 8.1:

  • 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.
