If you use a good Windows Pro 8.1 installation media. Initially from Microsoft published Windows 8.1 with installation media incorrectly , which rejected the product keys for Windows 8. The Windows 8.1 with update 1 Pro .iso will accept and activate with a product key Windows 8 Pro:

  • Can I use my Vista 32 bit key for activate Vista 64-bit?

    I want to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OS to 64-bit. My computer came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit pre-installed but I want to run a 64-bit OS so I can enjoy the benefits as the increase in the capacity of RAM.

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Yes, you can use the same key, but make sure that the installation is performed only once and a 32-bit parallel installation with the same key on other computer should not exist.
    You must perform a clean installation only and upgrade/downgrade cross-architecture (32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa) is not supported.

  • A key panel full size can be used with I pad pro?

    A key panel full size can be used with I pad pro?

    Only if the keyboard is full-size using Bluetooth connectivity.

    I've not seen any portable keyboards, full length using Bluetooth, however.

    Most Bluetooth keyboards for tablets are made compact to be more ergonomicaaly designed with the size of the tablet.

    If you found or will find a full-size, keyboard full length that works with Bluetooth for iDevices and iPads, so this should work.

    Good luck!

  • Can I use my Win 7 Pro Upgrade to upgrade my laptop running Win 7 Home?

    I bought the Windows 7 Pro upgrade before realizing that I had bought the wrong upgrade to what I had on my computer. I ended up having to buy a Win 7 Home, then update to Win 7 Ultimate, so I could keep all my programs in tact. Now, I'm about to get a laptop. If the laptop has Windows 7 Home installed, can I use my Win 7 Pro upgrade for the version of Win 7 Home upgrade? If not, what version on the laptop do I need if I can use my already purchased Win 7 Pro Upgrade? There is no other computer autour who can't use my upgrade, it seems, because I ordered the version of 64-bit operating system, so I guess that laptop must have an operating system 64-bit as well.

    Anytime Upgrade using year already bought Retail Pro/Ultimate key

    In Windows 7 Home Premium, type Anytime Upgrade in search programs and files box on the start menu, and then click the Windows Anytime Upgrade.  From there, you can enter your product key of Windows 7 Professional/ultimate retail and perform a simple upgrade. All programs and files will remain on the computer, there is no drive necessary and it takes about 10 minutes.

  • Can I use 32 bit XP Pro OEM to reinstall XP Pro 64 bit?

    Assuming I can find some OEM media somewhere, can I use my license of Pro (SP2) 32-bit XP to install XP 64 bit?  I need to be able to use 64-bit for the big stages of rendering on my quad core.  I read so many places to be able to do this, but I don't know if it applies to the OEM licenses.  I read that it won't work with the media to detail. Confirm?

    If this is not the case, can I sell my XP Pro 32 bit media + sticker COA (always on the disc envelope) via ebay or similar so I can recover my cost of the purchase of a new 64 bit OS?

    Hi Deschnell,

    Thanks for posting. Probably if you use the media 64 bit retail with a 32 bit OEM license, the installation will fail with a bad key. I recommend that you find media with this key 64-bit or more on the site below.

    Hello

    Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.

    Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).

    You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.

    The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *

    Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )

    There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:
