Disable a copy of windows 8 from a computer now broken

Hello world. I have a biggest HTPC computer that serves me very well for the last 4 years. Unfortunately, some liquid cooling filter to one of the radiators in the case and destroyed the motherboard and processor. I've since replaced these components by modern coins (the upgrade was quite important). I wiped windows 8 a number of times and installed again wiping the hard drive, windows installation 7, the upgrade to windows 8 and finally to 8.1 (Yes, very round point). In this case, I also had to remove the partition completely from hard drive using diskpart to get the windows installation cd install correctly, so I guess it has something to do with it. Is it possible to disable the key entirely so that it can be reused?

There is no real deactivation procedure, just reactivate by phone:

1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4


2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • I put my copy of Windows XP on another computer?

    Hello.

    Thanks for any help.

    OEM = No.

    Commercial version = Yes "as long as the XP product key was not used as the basis for the upgrade to Vista or Windows 7".

    Also the product XP key no. must be used or installed on another 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.

  • Accidentally updated my copy of Windows XP from SP2 to SP3. Is this legal?

    original title: upgrade WIndows XP error!

    I had windows xp edition SP2 family and my friend decided to upgrade using an illegal copy of windows xp service pack 3, is there anyway I can return to my legal version or be able to activate the one I have.

    Thank you

    Well, it's not really illegal to install windows on windows.

    in other words, let's say your computer preinstalled with windows sp2 came.

    then you went to the store and bought windows sp3 and sp2 installed.

    the scenario would not be illegal, but it would be a waste of money.

    Therefore, if the sp3 of windows that is installed on your system has not been activated on another computer 'or' it was turned off from the other computer, which is uninstalled, then use it on another computer is not illegal.

    personally, I have not seen the above scenario so my entry is somewhat limited.   but the good side of things is that if your sp3 windows is activated and can update microsoft servers, then you're ok.

    on the good side of things, now you have a bootable xp sp3 cd which can be handy for repairing the operating system if necessary in the future.

    in the meantime, don't make any more changes to your system or try to undo what you have now.

    First, confirm or not if windows sp3 is still active on another computer or has it been uninstalled from him.

    In addition, you may be able to simply replace the new product key with your first.

  • Install Windows 7 from one computer to another

    Hi all

    I got this question I was not able to find an answer yet and I wonder if anyone of you could help me out here.

    I had a laptop that I use for work, which has Windows 7 Ultimate and a lot of software and personal files, I need. I recently bought a new more powerful laptop that will replace the one I use at the moment.

    My question is,

    Can I do a full to the top of the computer that I use and put it on the new computer, I will get? And then update the laptop with its own pilots?
    Is worth it to do a cleaning installation at all instead?
    Is it possible to transfer files and software from one machine to another using some sort of tool such as that used for XP to 7 or Vista to 7? Do we not have a Win 7 for Win 7 one?

    Thank you
    Sam

    Hi sam,

    You can take a full backup of the data on your computer and transfer it to the new computer, but for the application, you need to install a new copy of the same thing.

    You can even use transfer Windows-a tool that helps you transfer files and settings from one computer to the other. But as you mentioned that you transfer to a powerful computer hardware and software conflict may appear, if you have a full backup you can perform a clean installation.

  • Get Windows 7 from one computer to the other.

    I installed and activated a new copy ot 8 windows on a new computer, I built for the games, but W8 wouldn't some of the games.  The same games work well with windows 7.  Can I remove the installation of Windows 8 and install windows 7 in "swopper" on a 2nd computer on which I would then Setup the windows 8?  That is to say, I have an active windows 7 I would delete a computer and install it on the new.  Would be - this will then be allowed to activate?  Thanks for your help.

    If Windows 7 or Windows 8 comes preinstalled with any one of these computers, you cannot move the license.

    Versions of Windows OEM 7/8 are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  • How can I transfer my Windows XP from one computer brand new without the CD it came with?

    I'll buy a new hard drive for my computer and I want to put Windows XP, Microsoft Office 2007 and Adobe Acrobat on the new hard drive.  I have the product id for XP but not the product key or CD.  Can someone tell me how to proceed?

    The product key for Windows is on the computer. However, don't do you much good if you don't have a way to install Windows. You must have the product key and installation for Office 2007, which is separated from Windows Media. You install Adobe Acrobat your media and product key, they sent you when you bought it.

  • Is it safe to use a new copy of windows 7 on a computer without saving the license key?

    I have not registered my copy of windows 7 because I want to save it to a new computer.

    You can always do an install without Windows 7 key (skip entered the product key during the installation) and use Windows 7 until 30 days before activation.

    Registration is different and is not mandatory, but activation of the product is because it matches the license to your machine.

  • Can I install my same copy of windows on my new computer build?

    So I just build a new custom computer. I have a new 64 GB drive hard solid state that I wish I had ONLY my operating system. I also have my old hard drive in my new build with all my old files and the operating system on it (I also cloned it on an another HARD drive so that if something was wrong, I have a backup of all my files). But anyway, my question is if there is a way to ONLY my my my old HDD SSD new operating system without wear on all programs (because with all the other programs, its not going to adapt). I realize that there is a small chance that it is possible to do that, so my other option would be to just do a fresh install on my SSD with my windows of my old computer disk. I called Microsoft technical support regarding my problem and they said, is that the only way to a successful installation is to buy a new product key, because otherwise it will not work. They said that the only way to get around the purchase of a new key is to uninstall windows on the old disk and then you will be able to use the key on the new SSD. The only problem with this is I have no way to boot the old disk, as this would require completely rebuild me my old computer which I just can't do (I already tried to start on the old drive in the new computer). Anyway, if you guys know anyway which would solve all my problems, that would be great, because I can't afford to buy a new windows product key.

    Thank you

    Support for Microsoft people are correct. The only option is to not use or attempt to start the drive on the new computer (of course you can use it as a data drive) this will allow you to use at least the license on the SSD.

  • Reinstalled XP from another computer, now after no activation it will not start upward

    Received advice to install windows for 30 days or more. My computer crashed and I used a disc, I got (from my other computer) to reinstall.  So I backed it up. Today it stopped, I can not connect, it will not accept all numbers I have on the disc or product key.  BTW, this computer is around 7 years, custom made by computer type. best system Ive ever had. Please help me get back windows on. I can't even my music, documents or anything like that. AAARGH! @# $% ! @# $% Windows xp 32 (I think). Cannot access any thing, but this Q & A good now it has 3 what that is upgraded. and I tried to format the drive today today before you stop and it wouldn't let me. All the important stuff is the disk hard - ex. I need a code or a miracle of one of you please. Thank you.  Or just really good instructions. ::) Oh and it is full,... completely had a defragmentation thread hard time. it.!

    * original title - HELP. ENOUGH, PLEASE. !  Install xp, have tried everything I could find. !*

    You have the original CD of Windows XP comes with the computer. Also the original product key?

    Also the CD from your computer else you used to reinstall Windows XP is OEM or retail?

    Note: If you use the same product key that is already in use on your other computer most likely that is the reason why you have received advice. A product key can be used to enable only a single computer and not both.

  • I got a laptop that has windows 7 installed which is now broken. Can I install the license for windows on another computer?

    My husband spilled a soda on her new laptop that has installed windows 7.  The computer is fried.  I have a laptop, only a year older than his, that we think of wiping and installation of windows 7, as we love windows 7 better than vista.  When we are no longer able to use the soda machine killed, is there a way to get that license windows 7 installed on my laptop more still functional old?  When we arrived the laptop with windows 7 on it, she had no records, best buy just installed everything for us.  Any clue?

    If this laptop was supplied with Win7 this win7 license lived and died with this laptop.

    I bought a cd Windows XP Pro 5 years back. now, the hard disk on which it has been installed is burned because of electrical problems.

Did microsoft give me new key? I have all the invoice documents, product key, the original cd

    original title: xp will activate on the new system?

    If everything you change is the hard drive, you should have no problem of reactivation of the new facility.

    If your 'upgrade' includes a new motherboard, and then it depends if the XP you bought is a detail, an or an OEM one – if the retail trade, you may simply need to activate by phone.

    If the XP license you purchased is OEM, you cannot transfer it to a new motherboard except under the conditions of warranty replacement.
