Hello

Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

I suggest that you reinstall the operating system for computers, back to new condition.

If no disc came with them, contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disc for them.

They charge a small fee for this.

Also, ask the manufacturer if there is a recovery Partiiton to do this reinstall.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup.

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

See you soon.

Edit: As they are ex-entreprise, they can also be Volume License.

If they are, we can not help you at all.

I suggest that you ask the guy you how they were allowed.

    I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7, which I have installed on Computer1.  Can I install Vista on a second computer computer2 and still be legal?

    Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?

    No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.

    For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.

  • Garage sale pirated Windows on the laptop brand

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop (Compaq 510) Logtech Infoway. Kerala.
    They have installed a pirated version of Windows XP on my laptop. When I contacted them, they are insisting that it is the right of the consumer at the request of a genuine version of windows.
    5 years when I bought a PC brand at another retailer, they have installed genuine version of windows on my PC.
    My question does not appear here for the rules for these brands as Compaq, they can be sold with pirated versions? If I'm going legal against the dealers, I as a consumer will be held guilty for not asking only a version not genuine windows?

    Too

    The manufacturer like Compaq and others are having agreement with Microsoft they buy license at home, and when you buy a PC from them you may chose your version of Windows and it will come pre-installation. If you're shopping online or certified partner of Compaq or to the sales office, the Windows is genuine.

    However, in many countries local dealer will just get a free system without windows or sometimes with MS-DOS and install to pirate one. It depends on law in the country, in some countries, the action would not take any dealer and people who sell pirated software in other countries, he's going for people who sell pirated software and the people who buy pirated software.

    In case you, I suggest to declare these dealers, you can use the Web site suite:

    To report them.

  • I have entered my product key for studentversion, but I only got the free trail version. When I type my key again it know that the key is already used.

    So for school, we all got licenses for adobe products.

    These have been given us the name. and I recorded my key on my account the first day.

    However I never got anything else then the free trail basic software.

    I paid for a student version, so I should have gotten a version of the student.

    I still have the key. so I can prove that I admit.

    I don't have any account but this one and no one else has my key code as they are awarded by name.

    in any case, it would be nice if one of the mods could check which account my key is registered.

    I own the rights to this key and can prove that if neccesairy and I can provide.

  • Why update firefox and got a 'free' bing search bar and two software malicious adware?

    After an automatic update - no, I do not download no matter what new version of any dangerous place - I found that I had the Bing search bar-which I think I've turned it off, not sure if - and two malware/adware problems. First was rvzr - a.akamaihd which arises a new tab when clicking first on a website, then I found that I had offerswizard adding banners - blocked most of them - and the creation of hiperlinks with mini pop ups when passed above it with the mouse - sorry if my English is not clear. I tried AVG free and there wasn't any warning. Finally, ad-block and rgiht, click on the arrow to search bing seems to fix the problem, however, offerswizard must be uninstalled manually - lightning enhance program, I think that - after a google search.
    The main question is... can I trust firefox download/upgrade to automatic update?

    Thank you all for your answers. I tried to mark it as resolved, but I doubt that I did.

    First I tried in windows / removal of unwanted software programs. Installed an adblocker for FF
    Then I downloaded the adware 3.8 removal tool and the problem is almost solved. Still a few details could be improved, but I can live with that.

    I think someone took advantage of the installation of FF and it makes any other malware on my computer.

    Thank you once again.
