How to change the product ID of Windows 7, when you put the disc in the other PC
I PC_1 with an SSD and a valid license of Windows 7 OEM (HP). I want to put this SSD in a new, more powerful PC_2. PC_2 holds a valid license of Windows 7 OEM (Packard Bell).
My thoughts are:
1 use Double driver to make a backup of all the PC_2 drivers. Use ABR Activation Backup and Restore to save the certificate key and activation license for W7 on PC_2
2 put the SSD in PC_2 and change the license key and activation of the certificate (it has the PC_1 keys/certificates) to the PC_2 keys/certificates
3. install missing drivers to disk backup Double.
The problem is How to change the key/certificate in step 2?
Of course I could rebuild W7 on the SSD and give him the key to license PC_2 for the reconstruction, but that would mean reinstall all my other programs that I prefer not to do so. I downloaded and still have, a copy of W7 iso website digitalrivers if this can help.
Thank you
Put the SSD from PC 1, PC 2 and startup, update drivers, and change it to the product key located on the certificate of authenticity.
As long as they are running the same edition should not be a problem.
Click Start, right click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click on the link 'change product key '.
Enter the product key located on the COA sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment. Click next to activate via the Internet.

How to change the language of Windows XP from German to English
original title: German English XP Windows XP license key
Hello.. I would like to change the language of my Windows XP from German to English. Is this legal possible to format my system and borrow an English version of Windows XP and install and enter the license included with the German version key?
Hi, Soorajr,
Never borrow from another CD. It is called facelift soft and illegal.
The goal of Product Activation is to reduce a form of piracy known as "casual copying" or "softlifting." Casual copying is the sharing of software between people in a way that violates the end user of the software (EULA) license agreement. An example of casual copying is if someone were to get a copy of Microsoft Office XP and load it on his PC, then share it with another person who charged on her PC, then share it with a third person who charged on his PC and so on. This form of piracy is widespread and has been estimated by some industry trade groups to explain a staggering 50 percent of the economic losses due to piracy. Worldwide, the piracy rate is estimated at 37 percent; in other words, one in every three software products on the market is hacked.

problems with wireless Vista "local only".
How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?Hello
Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer. Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.
