How can I transfer a license of Windows 7 on a new computer? Step by step please
Hey guys, I just build my first computer and I don't want to use the HARD drive from my old computer to the new. I was wondering if there is some way I can transfer my Windows 7 license from the old computer to my new computer? I would be grateful if someone could answer with step by step instructions. Thanks a bunch!
Hello!
If you have an OEM of Windows license (which is pre-installed when you purchased your PC) on the old computer and want to use it on a new computer (PC with another motherboard), it is not possible.
If you have a retail license (if you bought separately):
1 note your product key: use a program like Nirsoft Produkey to get

2. on the old PC uninstall product key:
Start-> Accessories-> right click on command prompt and select "Run as Administrator"
slmgr.vbs /dlv---> to display the Activation ID for the installed version of Windows.
slmgr /upk
3. on the new PC use this product key during installation or change it after installation
in the product key from the old computer with:
slmgr IPK

How to transfer the license of Windows 8 on a new computer
I upgraded an old machine to low spec from win 7 to win 8. The pc is old and while Win8 works ok, I bought a new top spec I want to transfer the license to. I will not keep or sell the old machine.
There's a chance after running the upgrade wizard that the new machine can have questions that would abandon the installation.
Could someone advise best used to go to this please. The same question would apply also for example is an existing machine died and I wanted to reuse the license to a new machine
Thanks in advance
The phone activation is not available on weekends, its best do you during the week.
If do not want to format the old machine, then its best you just uninstall the license, just in case you decide to come back.
Press the Windows key + X
Click prompt (Admin)
At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs - upk
Press enter, this will uninstall the product key of the computer and to the evaluation mode, you are now free to use it on another computer.

Can move you to a new Windows 7 computer
If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own qualification license XP/Vista/7). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.
If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

How can I transfer my photoshop 7 from my laptop to new PC?
You can just install on your new PC and turn it on. If you have two current activations, you will need to disable one before you can activate Photoshop on your new PC. My memory has a problem remembering to Photoshop 7 which is old, I think around 2001-2001, time that can be before Photoshop need activation all that was needed was your serial number.
