Floppy disks to install Windows have a related key or can I use the key with any disk?

Re Activation:

I help people of disabnled. My blind customer has an OEM version completely crushed of XP and a damaged hard disk, so because there is no CD or the way to reinstall XP, I found an installation CD and, separately, a product code given to me by another disabled person who has dumped his computer and bought a new one. Each CD has its own code of tied product, or can they be separated like this?

Also is it possible to check a product code to ensure that it is valid and available for use?

I said yesterday a nearly identical request!

The machine should have a COA sticker on it (assuming that it is a large manufacturer or pre-installed).

The key is that the machine is 'owner' and must be valid.

If the machine is one of the major manufacturers, you can buy recovery discs on their part for this machine, which will restore it to its original state.

The disks do NOT have a key on them - any drive OEM System Builder for the same edition of XP (Home or Pro) should work well on this machine - but certainly, you will need to download the drivers for it if you get the recovery disks. (once - again see the site of the manufacturer for those)

    original title: windows 7 gamer edition

    Download of software on these sites can be very risky, because the origin of the files are usually edited and its quite possible that they could have injected malicious code in it.

    Windows 7 Gamer edition is not a developed Microsoft or affiliated with the product, what appears to be a customized image of Windows 7 that authors customized to remove or add Windows components, which can also be very problematic.

    You use something that no one can help you consider he has probably been reverse engineered and probably injected by a malicious code like spyware (keyloggers, rootkits, worms, viruses). I suggest you stick to Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the most complete edition of Windows 7, anyone can have.

  • Disc of Windows 7 64 bit System Builder will allow me to do a clean install using the supplied with any PC OEM license?

    In the past, I bought a windows XP disk manufacturers Premium System home.

    If there is a computer that does not have the recovery discs, I could reinstall the XP operating system and use the ORIGINAL OEM license to

    turn on the computer.

    This is always the case with a copy of WINDOWS 7 Home premium 64-bit disk system integrators.

    This disc will allow me to use the license OEM Original on any computer I do a clean install on If I

    Have a WINDOWS 7 Home Premium license on those computers?

    Its simpler just uninstall what you don't want, its going to be no different from a clean install. You can forget something on the left over registry entries, which is of no consequence and has not been since Windows 9 * days.

    A destructive restore using the recovery disks, is a dry-cleaning facility / formatted.

    And using the means of recovery disks then you can download the drivers from this manufacturer of PC

    System builders, of the same version of fix disk can be used with your key, it is however attached to the first PC sound used on and subsequently cannot be used on another.

    If you really want the win7 installation disc, you can download the ISO official that corresponds to the version you have the key to.

  • I have a HF G40. Can I use the outputs on this camera livestream?

    With my old camera i I could use the video output on it to connect to my laptop which is connected via fiber on the web. I used xsplit braodcaster as the software & just livestream via youtube. Is this possible with this device? There is a port mini hdmi & a video output on it. These can be used? There is also a micro usb port. I tried the usb port, but my computer does not recognize it. Has anyone tried this before? I love the photo, but my main use is livestreaming sports & need a device that can do it.

    Hi CoachLoll35,

    Thank you for posting.

    Live broadcast is not available via the USB port on your camcorder.  While the HDMI streaming is not a supported feature, if you have a computer with a HDMI capture device, you can stream from this terminal.

  • I have two sound cards. Can I use the input to the output to another?

    Basiclly the problem I have is that I use one of my as a configuration of 5.1 sound cards speakers (I put the MIC and line as output) and I found another sound card in another PC. The question that I have, that now I'm not a line or a microphone available for the first sound card, is possible to distribute the Line In input of the other card, to the first?

    Hi KiralyAlex,

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to perform this task, because at some point that a single sound card can be defined as a default device.

    However, you can use your favorite search engine & download any third-party software that could serve the purpose.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope the helps of information.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    ------------------------

    If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.

  • I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system. Can I do this? I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Windows XP instead of Vista.

    I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system.  Can I do this?  I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Hello

    There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:

    1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.

    2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.

    3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.

    4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.
