The computer was demoted in XP and now there is something wrong and Windows fails to start (goes to blank blue screen with the mouse pointer, no further).

  No, this is not possible. I guess that you don't really want
  "retired", and that XP has been installed clean.

  and now there is something wrong and that Windows will not start

  Something new, or it never does to start XP?

  (empty blue screen with the mouse pointer, not go further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business.

  No. an OEM product key does not work with a retail CD. The CD and the
  product key must match with respect to retail vs OEM, complete vs.
  Upgrade and family or professional.

  Whatever you do, you must first copy the Word documents and music
  files from external media: CD, DVD, USB keys, eternal hard drive
  etc. Even if could do an upgrade (which you do not have a key for) you
  should do it because there is always a risk of losing everything.

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  ------------------------

  If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.

  I have a disc of "Window7 Holiday Home Edition". I got it on my laptop. But the broken laptop. Can I put on my laptop, using the "Product Key" that used it on the laptop.

  Sorry, but there is no such thing as «Window7 Holiday Home Edition»  This is the ultimate. Home Basic or Home Premium.

  He intervenes, it it is preinstalled on your laptop and the laptop died, the license to use, he died with him. It cannot be moved to another computer.

  Preloaded is an OEM version and the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first it is installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold, or given to outside (except with the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

• Windows 8 Beta - cannot verify the product key

  Hi all

  After you have installed Windows 8 beta last year on my laptop, I bought the upgrade to the full version of Windows 8 and received a product key by e-mail as part of the purchase or download.  Now, I'm trying to use the same disk of Windows 8 Beta to install the OS on my desktop.  After you enter the product key, I get a message saying "cannot verify the product key - check your installation media."

  Can someone explain why the beta key does not work and if I get a new key?

  Thank you

  No, you can't, but what you can do is, use the following link to download and create the installation media that you can use to upgrade other computers.

To create a support, you must use a PC running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7, and it must have the same architecture (32 or 64-bit) than the PC you want to install Windows 8.1 on. You will also need your product key of Windows 8.

  You can usually find your product key in your online order information, in the confirmation email of your purchase, or on the DVD packaging. The product key will look something like this: XXXXX - XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

  Once you have your product key and you are on a PC running Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows, follow these steps:

  1. Run the program installation of Windows 8 .

  2. When you are prompted to run or save the file, choose run

  3. When you are prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-character product key, that you received when you purchased Windows 8.1.

  4. When you are prompted to install Windows 8.1, select install by creating media and then click Next.

  Select the type of media you want to use: either a Flash DRIVE or a DVD.

  To create a USB flash drive

  1. Click on a USB flash drive.

  2. Plug the USB key into a USB port on your PC.

  3. When you are prompted, select the USB key that you want to use, and then click Next.

     If you have files on the USB flash drive, it will remove them.

  To create a DVD

  1. Click on the ISO file, and then select the location where to save the ISO file.

  2. Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD drive.

  3. Burn the ISO of the DVD file using Windows disc Image burner, or another program DVD burning.
