• Can I deactivate my product key so that someone else can register my Windows XP disc?

  I use is more a full OEM version of Windows XP that I bought, my computer died with this software installed.  I used the Windows 95 Upgrade disc.  I would like to sell this disc on eBay.  I read somewhere that I can deactivate my product key, which would allow product key to register again with Microsoft.  Can someone let me know how I can go about doing so, there is no problem with the new owner registering this product key?

  Sorry, but you can't sell an OEM Windows XP license once it has been installed and activated.  If the computer is dead that he had initially mounted, so not the Windows XP OEM license. Carey Frisch

• have to reactivate Vista Home Premium (for the second time), but did not have the product key - thinking that I had to upgrade to Windows 7 instead.

  Now, I had recover and restore to factory settings on my PC for the 2nd time in 2 years (I think a problem for Vista?).  Rather than activate Vista Home Premium (which I did not anyway-25 character product code), I thought it would be beneficial (and relieve another instance) upgrade to Windows 7?  I would appreciate any thoughts. Is that what I do online and Windows 7 will work around the Windows Vista Home Premium?  No risk of problems since Windows 7 is new?  I basically use it for home, but like following applications.  Windows 7 is having the same issues that has Vista?

  Hello

  You will need to purchase a license/disk/upgrade Windows 7 product key.

  Microsoft sells more Windows 7 and you would have to buy from Amazon, etc.

  There was a free upgrade offer, but it expired a long time ago:

  "The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option. »

  __________________________________________________

  There is no Vista SP3; SP2 has the latest Service Pack for Vista and will be the last.

  Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
