How can I reactivate my windows xp family. . I got it on a Dell computer that is now being scrapped

My Dell hard drive crashed and I decided to buy a new custom built-in computer and reinstall Windows XP on it using my reinstallation disk (one of the numerous disks provided by Dell). This worked OK, but now I find that Microsoft will not validate my software for any reason any. What can I do now?

In other words - you cannot

Your Windows & license, if it came pre-installed on the Dell, lived and died with him, and cannot be moved to another machine under any circumstances.

You can buy a new Windows license to a merchant of good reputation - NOT ebay and other, where the majority of the licesnes are counterfeits.

  • How can I switch from Windows Vista to Windows 7

    Original title: Windows 7

    My HP laptop came pre-installed with Microsoft Vista OS. How can I change to Windows 7?

    Hello NareshDadlani,

    You must verify that your hardware of PCs will supports Windows 7, therefore, you must visit the HP site and check that the Windows 7 drivers are available for your PC.

    Windows 7, is of course, is no longer provided by Microsoft, so you can use scouring eBay or Amazon to see if a copy is legitimate is available. Like most of the software there are many out there pirated copies so be wary.

    You can also check if you can run Windows 8.1 instead. This will bring you bang up-to-date with the latest operating system. You can download the Wizard Windows 8 upgrade from this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8 the link to the upgrade wizard is in the second paragraph.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • How can I reactivate Windows XP?

    Got my PC from file system damaged, but now windows don't be loading not unless I have Windows XP automatic internett connecting to microsoft does nothing. How can I reactivate Windows XP Pro?

    Hello Raphael,.

    Christmas sent me to see if I had something that might help :-)

    My understanding of your situation, it's that your computer has a file system corrupted, if you used the manufacturer's recovery process to recover your computer if you "out-of-the-box".  I also noticed that you mentioned that recovery has given you the option has not your personal files in a place called "my old file Structures." Unfortunately, the recovery isn't going smoothly 100% and you encounter a problem of activation.

    The best tour I have up my sleeve is trying to "rearm" Windows Product Activation XP, which if it works will provide you with a grace period of 30 days, during which you can try to recover and backup your files from the old file Structure My, their credit on another storage (like external HDD or flash drives). Once your data is safe, then you can try to get another and hope this goes more smoothly this time. If this is not the case, your next step would be to contact the manufacturer to acquire the system disks required to run CD/DVD recovery rather than the recovery partition on the hard drive of your computer.

    If the computer can be started in a safe mode command prompt, run this option to rearm activation XP:

    Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

    The command must be typed exacly as above with space, caps, and comma.  Restart, and if it works, you will be able to log in normal mode (as opposed to safe mode) and will be in the 30-day activation grace period.

    Assuming that works, save your data, and then try the recovery again.  You will want to visit the support pages and community forum hosted by the manufacturer of your computer to search and see if the seeds of recovery are common for your make and model of computer - if yes, it is likely to be a fix for what you can implement.

    If this does not work, then your next task is to use an operating system off-line such as BartPE, Ultimate Boot CD, Knoppix, etc., to save your data from the saved location.  Once the data is turned off the computer and the safe, you can use the manufacturer's recovery disks (or disc OEM/systembuilder Microsoft at the generic address) to make a good clean install of Windows.

    Good luck! :-)

    My product key was taken out of my turn to my children and I can't reactivate my windows vista is there a way to recover my product key?

    original title: product key

    Hello

    As you have lost the product key of the Tower, it is a preinstalled operating system and you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    They give you a different product key.

    What you can do now is ask them to send you a set of recovery disc for the computer model reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.

    Also while you are in contact with them, if you never receviced a reinstall to purchase drive, ask them how to make the recovery discs to do the same thing, if you still have access to the recovery partition.

    None of these methods of resettlement requires normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

    Windows 10 crashed my pc, and I need help please

    Claire-

    The PC comes with Windows 7 the plant?  If so there should be a COA sticker on the outside, or under the battery with a product key used to activate.  Also on the label is printed the licensed version.  Now look at control panel > system to confirm page which is the version that has been installed.  If so, scroll down to the activation link to "Change product key" and insert the key to the sticker.

    It is easy to mistake the 25 digit key characters.  What I do is take a picture of the phone and huge blow up, so check each character before submitting the key.

    If Windows 10 had activated, you can also get a facility much better to do a Clean install Windows 10 improvement will be paid to questions of lower upgrade installation, which should reactivate with the permanent right granted once did you the upgrade.

    Let us know if that helps.

    If you install Acrobat 8 on an operating system compatible (something like Windows XP) then it should still work, I think.

    If this isn't the case, you will have to ask Adobe for solutions to the question of the activation. We can not help you with that.
