If it's nothing less than a Pentium 4 then probably not.  You should also check the disk space and memory needs.

    My computer has been stolen! It had Windows 7 Professional 64 bit for the new buildings of the computer. I still have the original disc and product key. Can I deactivate the license on the stolen computer and install my copy of the OS on my new computer? I'm having a hard time trying to find the funds to buy what I had once and I think it's not fair if I have to buy a new product key, when I still have the original disc and has been victim of theft.

  • If I buy windows 8 (any OS windows) now and install in my computer and after a year when I change my computer, can I install the SAME operating system in the new computer?

    If I buy windows 8 (any OS windows) now and install in my computer and after a year when I change my computer, can I install the SAME operating system in the new computer?

    You can if you buy a commercial box full of Windows 8 version.

    If you buy a computer with Windows preinstalled, or a version OEM of Windows 8, 8 No, you can't.

    If you buy a version upgrade, you can, as long as the new computer has a licensed version earlier of Windows on them.

  • I reinstalled the operating system on the same computer multiple times, however, this time it is said, I'm 'cannot be enabled.

    I have problems activating windows x 64 bits.

    I reinstalled the operating system on the same computer multiple times, however, this time it is said, I'm 'cannot be enabled. Recently, I updated my motherboard and changed to a quad core. I would appreciate help from the administrator. Legitimately, I bought my version of Vista x 64 tiger direct for years and relied on it as my OS for a while now. Any live medium or other assistance, advice, etc., would be appreciated. This operating system has been reinstalled several times, and the last time I had to reinstall it is because I closed windows because he wasn't updated correctly, and then restarting the operating system has not yet worked so I HAD to reinstall. Now windows says that my code is already used. I'm ready to take pictures, show my keycode and do anything to get my system online. Vista is saying I need to activate within 3 days. Also, I have problems installing Service Pack 1. Which maybe has something to do with my questions? Please, someone help me!

    Mark,

    In this case, you will need to contact Microsoft by phone for your landline number. Usually, most product keys have some time, they can be turned on before you reach this State.

    Best,

    I am new to the community.

I have a legal version of Windows XP home edition disk.

  • Y at - it a startup of microsoft for windows vista premium disc which is downloadable on a computer to start the operating system when the HD does not start

    Since 2007, I have packard bell computer pc laptop. He came with a recovery or a bootable disc, but the genuine license is stuck under the machine. After System Restore today and a computer virus scan went to a reboot. But a black screen with the boot failure lights. I am unable to go to safemode, viaF8 or something else. He invites me to insert the recovery disk. What I can do besides take it to the seller. I have another laptop using windows vista can I create a recovery or startup disk that is compatible with this laptop. Waiting for your kind response

    NeoSmart is a very good drive to do a Startup Repair with.

    BUT it will not reinstall your operating system.

    For this, you need your computer manufacturer's recovery disks, or use a built-in recovery Partition.

    Read this info below:

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
