Can I use the reinstallation CD from 1 to my another 8600 Inspiron 8600

I have 2 computers Inspiron 8600.  1 purchased from Dell refurbished call it computer 'A' and the other was purchased new Dell call computer 'B '.  The systems are identical except minor differences of software.  I want to do a repair/reinstall on computer 'A'... but the CD of computer 'A' is stored.  I have the CD from the computer 'B' package... the new 8600 which includes the reinstallation CD.  I have the product keys for the 'A' and 'B'... I can use the XP Pro CD reinstall computer 'B' on computer 'A' for the reinstall/repair?  If you are prompted, should what product key I use?  I was not sure if the CD were somehow specific unit.  Thank you very much...

Col T.

Miguel_T,

You should be fine using the disk on the other computer. I don't think that you will have problems. You can use the product key for the drive that you use to install on the computer.

  • Can I use the Windows key from another computer non-working on my computer?

    Can I use the Windows key from another computer non-working on my computer? I took the key of this computer and used on my current computer, but I get a message indicating that the key is not authentic, even if it is directly from a previously active computer.

    Original title: Activation

    Hello

    No.; If the operating system on the other came computer preinstalled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) you can't use it on another PC.

    If the laptop/computer came with preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    See you soon.

    Each PC there own unique key, you can't use the same product key, if you have another product key for the edition, you can use the same DVD to update the other PC.

    Yes, you can.

    If I buy a T-Mobile unlocked iphone7, can I use the sim card by carrier other than T-mobile on the iphone7? Because I travel abroad from time to time, I need to use another sim card when I'm outside of US. So if I order a T-mobile unlocked iphone7, he will accept my sim card from a foreign carrier? In addition, he will accept my 2nd sim card which is Sprint (my sprint sim card is not related to a device)?

  • Can satellite P300-20R - I use the latest drivers from site Web AMD/ATI?

    I got a Satellite P300-20R now I want to update the video card drivers - ATi HD4650.

    Can I use the latest Catalyst for the mobility card that I find on the AMD/ATi website, and what is the procedure?

    Toshiba drivers are tested and adapted for certain graphics cards. Driver Toshiba will not force the graphics card to run the highest level and therefore protect laptop from overheating.

    On my Satellite P300, I use Windows 7 32 bit and driver Toshiba. It runs stabile and I'm happy with it.

    To be honest I don t want to use ATI driver and unfortunately cannot give you an answer to your question.

    Can you please tell us which of operating system you are using and what version of driver you want to install?

    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:
