Can I use software VISTA of an old computer that I own on another computer I own?

I am retired a HP laptop with VISTA (factory installed).

Can I legally use the VISTA software to upgrade an old Inspiron laptop computer with XP?  I will NOT use the HP computer more in the future - so the VISTA would be used on a single computer - even if not the original one.

Hello

Sorry, but you cannot use this software elsewhere.

Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

OEM licenses are not transferable.

If you had bought your own license for sale at retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you might be transferred to another computer.

Retail licenses are transferable.

See you soon.

    No, you need the product key for Windows 7, Windows 7 uses its own unique product key. What you can do is to reload the old hard drive, and then try to recover the product key:

    Lol when you upgrade you send upwards with a license, not two. The license of Vista is subsumed in Windows 7 one and can no longer be used. This is the reason for which an upgrade is cheaper than licensed full.

  • Can I use software 3d clothing?

    Can I use software 3d clothing? as Daz, mixer, ask, wonderful designer, etc. put on fuse Adobe figures?

    Depends on your level of comfort 3D!  You can adapt most of the clothes to work inside fuse easily.

    • Open the fuse and use the file > download creative content Pack (CCP) (a package of content to help you make your own custom stuff!)
    • Find the mesh of basic male or female in the CCP according to what type of body you want should be by default.
    • Open the base mesh in your choice of 3d software and adapt any clothing you want to use so that it fits on the model of the character
    • Use the file > import option from clothing to fuse to import the new "mounted" version of the clothing.
    • Optionally, you can also create additional masks to make advanced colouring and texturing.  I had read the user manual on the clothing personalized for that!  The only thing that is needed is the model to .obj format, but the card entries will be much better quality.

    can I use 4 monito in windows 7 computer for tense office

    Your terms "Extended Desktop" are ambiguous, as you have not provided sufficient details with your question.

    The correct terminology is "Desktop Extension" or "Desktop covering.  It is important to note that these are two things a little different.  Fully answer your question, it is necessary to describe the differences.

    Others that by activating the special modes provided by the specific video drivers on the special cards, Windows 7 does not support Desktop covering.  The WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) for Windows 7 does not have The Extension Office.

    The Extension Office differs from Office covering that with Extenstion Desktop games will not mode "full screen" on all screens.  Also, you will see the taskbar on only one of the monitors, and will maximize demand for only the full monitor on which it resides when you press the expand button.  However, it is possible to resize a window on multiple monitors.  Also, it hosts capabilities and monitors of different resolutions.

    Apart from the games and their preferences for the maximization of the app, Desktop Extension is very useful.

    According to me, is it possible to use The Extension Office - a collection of video equipment - extend your Windows 7 Desktop in any number of monitors, although I have only used it with two monitors myself.

    -Christmas

    P.S. on the chances that your question is about a desktop image stretching on several monitors: Yes, you can do it.  Create a desktop image that is the size, in pixels, of the horizontal and vertical of the desktop space, and select 'Tile' mode when you set the background.

  • I want to use Windows Easy Transfer XP to my data, but the software said "computers are old computer."

    I want to use Windows Easy Transfer XP to my data, but the software said that "the two computers are old computer", how do I chanage the parameter in the new computer? In addition, two computers are running in Windows XP system, thank you.

    Thanks for answer you, it is really useful.

    But I have another question:
    Why Windows Easy Transfer is still a Windows XP version?

    Thank you.

    Because Windows Easy Transfer is designed to transfer data FROM a Windows XP computer TO Windows 7 (or Vista) computer.

    For example, you install Windows Easy Transfer on the computer Windows XP, but the output (if it is stored on external media or transmitted over a network connection or cable Easy Transfer) is used by the Vista or Windows 7 computer.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as email or phone number

    I was advised to "clean" my computer, check and delete all viruses and start again.  What I've done (at a cost).  All of my documents were recorded on an external hard drive and subsequently reloaded.  Now, I find that all the document names appear, but the files are not accessible.  I can't even open a new document file.  What to do next?  How can I reinstall my Vista software without a disk? Help, please.  It's like Chinese water drip, drip, drip, torture...

    You must purchase Office to use.
