How to activate XP Pro Sp2 with XP Pro product key
Salvation;
I have a laptop that has a genuine product key XP Pro on the background. I need to reinstall XP Pro, but all I have is an enterprise version of SP2. I can install this SP2, but I want to use the product key provided with the laptop and not the key to the company. Is this possible?
Thank you

Hello
Office is not provided with a computer purchase for free.
Most new computers for the last years came with a trial version of Office that lets 'x' number of days usuage.
After this test times out, you will have to buy Office.
And the product key on the cover of laptop for the Windows operating system, not for the desktop Suite.
Here is the link for the Microsoft Store to Office products:

A VPC Image can be activated with a real product key?
Hello, I have a real copy of Windows XP (in a box), but I would like to use one of these virtual machine images (Images of VPC), expiring August 9, 2009. I wonder if it would be possible to activate the VPC image with my real product key?
I was wondering if its possible because he can save me installation of service packs and all of time clean install using my really old XP disc.
Mozillakilled salvation,
Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers forum.
Yes, when you use VPC images, you install the operating system, and it is treated as any other facility with the same licensing requirements. This looks like a reasonable alternative to a dual-boot machine since you don't have to reboot to switch between operating systems.
Here is a link to the Microsoft desktop virtualization products:

I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed. I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation. I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid. How can I fix it?
Thank you
If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.
You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?
If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.
However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

Reinstalled Win Vista with the recovery CD that I got with my HP Pavilion, now get quick activate Windows with a new product key. MS sticker on the tower is one that says 'Vista', no product key. When I go to activate Windows, I offer the choice to buy another copy of Windows or enter a new product key. A run the Genuine Advantage tool and he says it's "authentic." HP will not help, they say I have to buy another copy of Windows from MS, but I already paid for it when I bought the machine. What can I do?

Updating Win 7 32 Bit to Win 7 64 bit with the same product key
Hey,.
I bought a laptop computer where is installed Win 7 Pro 32 Bit. Now, I want to install Win 7 pro 64 bits with the same product key. I have the required software. Is this possible?
Yes, you can use the same product key to install and activate the 64-bit version.
You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.
Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.
Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.
http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/
Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.
You will receive the following warning:
The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK
The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.
Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.
You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

Windows 7 64 bit to 32 bit
I have windows7 64-bit with the computer acer laptop, but I want to change to 32 bit can it is possible with the same product key?
If you have a retail version of Windows 7, then it is more than likely came with discs both 64-bit and 32-bit. In this case, boot from the 32-bit disk and do a clean install.
If the 64-bit version has been pre-installed, then you need to contact Acer to see if they have a 32-bit recovery disc.
