How can I change Vista from an old computer to a new one?
Greetings,
I have a copy of Vista, initially purchased several years ago and I would switch its installation of an old computer to a new laptop. Chatting with a representative of the Microsoft Customer Service (online), I was told that since Vista is no longer actively supported, I have to buy a support package for $99 to do this. In other words, I bought Vista originally for over $ $100 and now has to pay a surcharge of $99 to remove a computer and install it on another.
This is not acceptable! Can I erase the hard drive where Vista was originally installed (Macintosh) and then legally install Vista on my new laptop computer?
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello
Of course, this is not acceptable and I don't know where they get their information.
Are you sure it was Microsoft you chatted with?
You are missing an important piece of information for us well.
The Vista you have purchased a license of selling retail or a system builder OEM license?
If it's an OEM System Builders license, it is linked to the where it was first installed.
__________________________________________
But if it's a retail license, you can install it on another computer as long as uninstall you it from the Mac.
That's essentially what must be respected with a retail license:
"One license of operating system retail, 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."
__________________________________________
And Vista has extended support until 2017, then there are still updates are published for safety and Performance and old updates and Service Packs are still available.
_________________________________________
Explain what should happen when transfer you the license of retail is that you may need to make a phone Activation and brace yourself for a real person to the.

How to fix "invalid Id"then produced transfer XP from an old computer to a new one?
My old computer was damaged by lightning so I bought a new one and am now trying to load XP on it; but the product key 25 character on the certificate of authenticity at the entrance is met with: ' the kid of product you have entered is not valid. Assuming that the code has been transcribed exactly where should I go from here?
If you are using a version of OEM Windows XP product key only lights up on the original computer it was installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer.
If however you have a "Full" version of XP, then you can try phone activation.
Not that some new computers not support XP, so check the web site of the manufacturer of the computer XP device drivers for your specific brand and model.

Transfer large files from an old computer to a new one
Recently, I bought a computer and I want to transfer large files (ranging from 5 GB to 8 GB) to the new computer of the former, on what they are. I tried to put them on a USB stick 32 GB, but the thing does not accept files greater than 4 GB. I'm really frustrated and I need help to transfer these files.
You can format your USB to allow him to manage larger files. Here's how:
- Plug the USB on any computer
- Press +E on the keyboard to open the file Explorer. Go to the 'Computer' or 'This PC' section.
- Right click on the USB key and choose the Format
- Choose the NTFS file system type from the menu drop down and use the option "quick format".
* WARNING: All DATA on the USB key will definitely be deleted.* *.
- Click OK and confirm that you want to erase all data on the USB key.
Once completed, you can then use the USB to transfer your files.

How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003
How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8
Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.
There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :
Transfer files and settings from another PC
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.
- You can connect the systems on the same network,
- Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
- Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
- Copy the data you want to transfer
On the Vista Machine:
- Open a Windows Explorer window,
- Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
- Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network
On the Machine Windows 8:
- Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
- Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
- Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive
Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.
You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.
There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.

Here is the method for Windows 7. If you are using Vista, there may be a slight difference, but basic procedures should be similar...
Start > Control Panel > region and language > Format > more settings > time tab >
under time format, set hh: mm hh: mm
H = 24 hours
h = 12 hours
