  Hi Peter,.

  Yes, you can use the same product key when reinstalling windows.

  Note: If you are facing a problem while activating, I recommend you contact the factory system since you are using an OEM computer.

• Can I use a disc of Windows 7 operating on a second computer if I uninstall it the first computer?

  Installation of Windows 7

  Can I use a disc of Windows 7 operating on a second computer if I uninstall it the first computer? Thank you!

• Windows 7 installation problem - I can not load the disc of windows 7 for

  I can't get windows disk to load 7. I am trying to run the full version on top of XP.
  When I open my computer, always open the D drive then its empty. Any ideas?

  ETA, I try to install the 32 bit one

  I have an answer!

  At least, it worked for me tonight, and I pray it works out for others in this situation.

  I got exactly the same problem as you, except that I wanted to replace Vista with a clean install of Windows 7 on a computer of the 32-bit system IE.  But, like you, it just has not been grateful that there is a disc in there after that many 'click' would say tell me to insert a disc or that there was a disk failure.  I have since bought nine from a retailer, and was not very impressed and nor am I impressed by the response from Microsoft about this problem and must send them a letter expressing my displeasure.  Issues such as this must be properly studied and perhaps added to the 'specifications' of the software to warn buyers to potential problems of certain brands or models of PC.  In my opinion be told to get off the USB drive with a process that most of the audience would find almost impossible to understand and follow and with the many added costs of having to buy a portable hard drive, large enough DVD or USB drive is unacceptable, as far as Windows 7 is not an item to purchase low price as it is.

  In any case, this is what worked for me.

  I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to lose more than £100 and so I have to use a laptop hard drive in order to make the suggested drive of USB and copy the disc on the laptop hard drive.

  I went into 'my computer', inserted the disc and he started his stupid clicking on and was not recognized, but in the list readers on the left side, I dragged all drive "E" (which is my DVD player and where the disc of Windows 7 was) on the USB hard drive.  This does not seem to have an effect, so I click with the right button on the E drive and press "copy" and "Paste" on the USB hard drive.  Now, I'm not sure if there is just a delay between the first process or if it was this process that has worked (as a result, please try both), but suddenly it seemed to 'wake up' the disc and it was recognized instantly and "run setup.exe" appeared in a pop-up and I could finally install Windows 7!  (Please Note - Although the disc began to copy it to the USB, I could have cancelled at any time so didn't need actually portable hard drive for this process - it just seems to 'wake up' when I tried to copy it somewhere else).

  I really hope it works for all those stuck with this problem and would like to hear if it has.

  Another point to note is that during installation, the computer will restart several times, and each time restarted mine, it got stuck on the screen black 'boot from CD' (due to the computer not recognize drive).  It was, fortunately, easy to solved for me to eject the disc and then close it again (leaving the disc, of course).  The rest of the installation was fine.

  Please, please post on here if the works above for one of you who have problems.  I sincerely hope that it is.

  No, you can't do that, they must not be resold.

  On MSDN or TechNet, and media licenses.

  They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else.

• Can I sell my copy of Windows 7 (upgrade)?

  My computer came with Vista, so I bought an upgrade to Windows 7. This is a copy of purchased retail Newegg. But my computer is completely dead, is there a way I can return or cancel my license so I can sell my copy of the upgrade on Ebay or elsewhere?

  My new computer is already comes with Windows 7 install, so I don't really need the disks to upgrade.

  How can I do? How?

  Edit: For the record, I can't access the old computer, it is quite dead.

  "Calibee" wrote in message News: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy * .com...

  The thing is that I am using the new version for about a year (it has been validated), but my computer is dead and it's not as if I can return the license or delete from my hard drive. I want to know that if I sell it, the buyer will be able to post because I'm not on the upgrade and I have no use for him.

  In fact a retail upgrade license can be transferred to another computer so so it can be sold and activated on another computer, as long as there is a qualification of operating system already installed and activated legally on the new computer.  Detail improvements are exactly that and are not OEM or at all time options that are restricted are related in that they are installed on the original computer.
   
  Upgrade Vista license policy (don't have Win 7 in front of me right now, but it seems the same or very similar):

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, that this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  16. PROOF OF LICENSE.  ...

  17 REASSIGN TO ANOTHER DEVICE.

  a. software other than Windows Anytime Upgrade. You can uninstall the software and install it on another device for your use. You are unable to share this license between devices.

  b. Windows Anytime Upgrade software. The first user of the software may reassign the license to another device, but only if the terms of the software license you upgraded allows reallocation.

  18. TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY.

  a. software other than Windows Anytime Upgrade. The first user of the software may make a transfer time of the software and this agreement, directly to a third party. The first user must uninstall the software before transferring the unit separately. The first user can keep no copies.

  b. Windows Anytime Upgrade software. You can transfer the software directly to a not third parties only with the device under license. You can't keep all copies of the software or any earlier version.

  c. other requirements. Before any transfer authorized, the other party must accept that this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the software. The transfer must include proof of license. "

• Can I sell my copy of Windows Vista retail?

  Hi, I have a full commercial copy of Windows Vista.  Having just upgraded to Windows 7 I would like to sell my copy of Vista.

  My installation of Vista was activated several times (I tend to reinstall my OS frequently enough).  It is no longer installed on any machine anywhere.

  What should I take special measures (e.g. to inform Microsoft) until I sell on my copy of Vista?  Or I'm ok just sell what with drive, box, manual, and CD key?

  Hi Kaporikawn,

  Thanks for posting. If you preferred the full versions of these two media you can sell the license to someone else. They call activation to finish it however.

  I hope this helps!

• a hard drive of a laptop can be used outdoors to run windows?

Now I can read and write to the former.  the recent issues with the hard drive internal and lost everything. can I use my computer from the old hard drive that is now external? and how to accomplish this?

  Hello

  DavidCoop

  Yes as far as I know and with experience you can use you external hard drive to run and start your system. To do this, you must have "USB/DVD Windows download tool."

  I have provided the link to download below-

  https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/Windows-USB-DVD-download-tool

  Visit this site and download the tool and install it.

  With the help of this tool you can make your external hard as a disk bootable for most to install Windows.

  With the help of this tool, you can make a Windows DVD or USB, and with this DVD or USB, you can install Windows on your external hard drive

  * NOTE - the tool first formats the drive or the disc you are trying to burn Eg - DVD or USB.

  I hope this helps

  Good luck

  Windows Media Player could not complete burning because the disc is not compatible with your drive. Try to insert another type of recordable media or use a disc that supports a write speed that is compatible with your drive.

• Update lost on a disc of windows 7 on the road.

  I bought a new laptop in 2008.  It was installed with Vista.  I received my free upgrade to Toshiba, brought back to Tennessee in 2010.  Recently, after I had started to use another laptop for a few years, I had pulled out the old laptop and was windows 10 on it, it crashed.  I've been through and has an area of restoration on the laptop, the thought, no problem I put windows 7, put out 10 on, everything is good.  I can't find my disc of windows 7 anywhere.  I guess I can have left at KY when I moved there.  I would go back and order the original Toshiba drive, but this disc says it's for windows Vista, I'd still be in the same boat.  Where can I get windows 7 to put in my computer I had first received as free?

  You can create word documents and powerpoint presentations, but you cannot save them directly on a normal USB.

  Microsoft made a version of office for iPad, you can find it in the App Store. Here is a link:

  PowerPoint

  There are usb drives that work with iPads, and you can save documents to those who use their own applications.
