EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

OK, so try this utility: http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

But don't be surprised if it does not work with the version of Win10 that you have installed.

I got a dialog box indicating that I had to run Java SE runtime (or something to that effect), when I approved it, then try opening cs5.5 Indesign, the program closed unexpectedly at startup. If I uninstall program & reinstall, my documents will be free, or are they toast? Help!

    Hi rabbit Art,.

    Migration from one machine to the other problem most of the time. So I recommend you to reinstall the software. Concern is that none of your documents will be made.

  • How to transfer my license Adobe Creative Suite Design and Web Premium for the new computer laptop?

    Hello

    I recently bought a new laptop and want to transfer my license Adobe Creative Suite Design and Web Premium on my new computer laptop. Please tell us the steps how to disable my old laptop and transfer/install to my new laptop.  Thank you very much.

    Concerning

    Angie

    You should not disable since you are allowed to have two active facilities.  But if you don't want to have a backup available facility, and then to turn it off, just to open one of the applications and choose disable in the Help menu.  That will disable the suite together.

    To install on the new machine, simply install it yourself you did initially.  If you downloaded it initially then you'd find a link for it to yoru online Adobe account.  Otherwise, you will find a link to the next page:

    Download and Installation Help-

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/download-install.html

    If you still can not find a link then indicate what version of the suite you need and can probably provide a more direct link.

  • reloading the files of the external hard drive to the new computer laptop

    I'm trying to reloaded files etc. from an external hard drive to my laptop. I took the files of my old office that was on is way out, so just in case I lost them all I copied them. I tried setting up my external hard drive and transfer just a couple of files just to see if it would work. I sent them to my desktop from my laptop and they also went to my documents, but once the hard drive is disconnected files will not open. I do not know what I'm dong wrong as I am not very computor spirit, so that the answers would be useful in silly English thank you. Sorry to be so long-winded.

    Hello @shedeval

    I understand that you have copied your files on an external drive from your old computer.

    You tried to copy the files to the new computer, but when you disconnect the external hard drive the files are no longer accessible.

    I think that you have created or copied a shortcut to the new computer and not the actual files.  When you're logged out outside the new computer had more disk access to open files.

    I would like to redo the copy and when you finished externally, log out and then try again.

    Good luck!

  • Failure of Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade on the new computer laptop

    Hello

    We just bought a new Asus laptop that came with Windows 7 Starter as standard.

    A week later, we bought an Express Upgrade Home Premium 7.

    The upgrade has failed at first time around; following the advice of the community, I tried the following:

    Check all updates;

    Installed the CheckSUR tool fix;

    Disabled user account control;

    Disabled antivirus;

    The hard drive to find errors;

    Profiled selective startup in MSConfig.

    In the end, I got was a "invalid product key" - which it is not.

    Windows displays as entered, and I have SP1.

    As a last resort, I have reset the specifications of the factory and tried the Express upgrade as the first thing on the PC 'cost '. Upgrade failed after 25 minutes.

    In the very final resort, I reset all the solutions above workaround to the specifications of the factory again, re-directed (except by disabling the antivirus because I have not reinstalled which again - there is only Windows Firewall between me and the world wide). Update failed.

    I just tried to disable the Windows Firewall and tried the upgrade - my product key verified program, was asked to accept the terms, told me it would be as little as 10 minutes - but now it's to say the upgrade button that I entered is a version of Windows that does not work with the Express upgrade... but it IS an Express upgrade.

    It took nine days so far - please you have the magic answer? Thank you waiting...!

    You have already done most of what I have posted, but it can't hurt to read and review as it is possible that you missed.

  • Installation Failed for HP Laserjet 1200 Series in the new computer laptop with Windows 8, 64-bit

    Name of the product - HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 6 Driver

    Operating system: Windows 8 Home Edition, 64-bit

    Error message: cannot find the series 1200 on the network. To locate manually click ok...

    Changes Made - this is an installation on the new laptop, in Windows 8, 64-bit

    Description:

    1 installation of an existing network, consistedof a desk and two wireless laptops.

    2. the two portable computers have Windows 7, 64 bit. Above the named printer is accessed successfully for laptops.

    3 replaces one of cell phones with 8 64-bit Windows.

    4. the path of the 1200 series is: wireless printer to the router, router to the desktop via ethernet, from desktop to a printer via a cable.

    5. the configuration of the wireless printer is

    Name: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5

    Port: \\Central\HPLaserj

    Printer: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5

    Driver: HPMCPM25. GPD 5.8.2008

    Problem

    Impossible to re-create this path with Windows 8, 64-bit configuration.

    a. when I try to download a driver always end up with a file called UPD-pcl6 - x 64 - 5.6.0.14430

    This seems to be a universal PCL 6 printer driver, can successfully decompress the file and create a folder

    b. during installation, I can see the desktop ICON printer (name: \\central\HPLaserj); So far so good

    c. process is unable to locate a driver and ordered to locate manually.

    d. accessing the HP Universal Driver files fails because a driver is not found.

    e. caraa attempt enter fails because you can't enter address above (\\central\HPlaserj). Cannot enter HPLaserj for the address, which obviously does not work.

    f. when the installation showed a list of drivers, the only one that I found was a universal PCL 6, which is what I thought, I tried to download the original.

    This set up has worked successfully to Windows 7 64 bit. It seems that I need help much more expertise to guide me through this whole upward.

  • Help, please! 100 e-mail exporting do not in files exported from the old Windows Live Mail to the new computer laptop

    I just bought a new laptop, have both Windows 7 and both have Windows Live Mail. I have several folders in the program my old portable Windows Live Mail and hundreds of emails in each folder. I experienced the process of export of emails every day now and no matter how I try (one folder at a time, highlighting of the emails in the said folder, simply choose the Inbox - as all the files I have are subfolders in the Inbox) - I can not send more than one in each folder when I imported the emails into the new Windows Live Mail. Why please? Please can someone explain how to copy every email in each folder on my new laptop it please!

    The properties which means the message are added to the file by Windows to make it possible to find e-mail messages by property (as of and object). If the memory stick is not formatted in NTFS, the properties of these files can be preserved. It is of no real consequence; Windows will just write again when the messages end up on a drive formatted in NTFS. So: either the memory stick format NTFS, or answer Yes to the prompt to copy files without their properties.

  • How to downgrade version starter W8 on the new computer laptop for W7?

    I just bought a Dell laptop with Starter W8 OS and HATE it! How to downgrade for W7?  I read articles that say I can come back to W8 W7 Pro, but I can do this in the version I have? Or that I must first be upgraded to Pro before decommissioning at 7?

    There is no Windows 8 Starter, I guess, you have "Windows 8"on the computer."

    You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

  • Can I install Adobe Acrobat 8 on the new computer laptop if it is not possible to deactivate on old PC?

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional that I installed on my PC in 2007. My PC has renounced the shadow and the shop where took to a now destroyed the hard drive for me, so I can't disable the software before installing again on my new laptop which has Windows 8. The shop seem to have copied the file shortcut to the new laptop, but nothing else. Can I reinstall without disabling the previous software?

    You may be able to make it work. If you have a 64 bit system, as many are today, then you may have more trouble.

    If you need to adjust the activation, it is something that must be done with Adobe directly. Two facilities are generally licensed for every copy of Acrobat you have, so you can have a left.

    Suppose you manage the installation. The first step is to install the updates (especially for a 64-bit system). You may be able to make updates in the Help menu (assuming that Acrobat opens). If you need to install manually, go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install updates in the order. To download from the most recent backwards, because each update tells you the previous update required for installation. In general, just restart after the update.

    To test your system, first check the features of Acrobat and Distiller programs by selecting from the menu of programs (or the Metro interface). If you have a PS file available, check the processing of this file by Distiller to check on the creation of PDF files. Then, try to print from an application to the Adobe PDF printer. If it works, fine. If this is not the case, try a print to a file and open the file in Distiller to create a PDF file. If the printing process is running, then try to WORD or other product of MS that could have the PDF Maker inside. See if you can create a PDF from this application. The only way to know for sure to try it. Adobe does not certify AA8 for Win7 or Win8 as it was not tested. For Win7, several people have reported success.

  • Sync Palm TX with Palm Desktop on the new computer laptop

    Hello

    I use a Palm TX and have been timing it (via wifi) with Palm Desktop installed on my laptop for several years, with the help of you all.  I have a new Dell laptop, running Windows 10 and I would do the same thing on this one if possible.  I downloaded and installed Palm Desktop 6.2 for the new laptop and it asks me to synchronize my device.  So I attached the cable (thought I start with this and get the wifi part will later) and press the hotsync button.  The device will attempt to connect, but I get the message "connection could not be established... '. Check your configuration and try again. »

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Harry

    I think I have the ability to HotSync via a cable is a good choice.  Aceeca for Vista and W7 and W8 files should work for W10 also.

    I also have a file at the beginning of the list of Wifi HotSync.  Go through it and see if you can get it to work with your laptop.

  • Transfer music from iPod classic to the new computer laptop

    Thus, on my old laptop, I had two accounts, one that was mine and that was my mother and my iPod classic has been synchronized to the iTunes on my account. I recently got a new laptop so that my mom could have one for herself, and so I proceeded to delete my account on the laptop. But I forgot to transfer all my iTunes music on a record hard to put it on my new laptop and so no longer have my music (about 3000 songs) on the former. I have all the songs on my iPod, and by logging into my iTunes on the new laptop, I could get my songs bought on iTunes, however, other songs (eg. those I burned a CD) I was not able to recover. Is it possible to transfer all the songs on my iPod to my new laptop?
