• 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.

  Here's how to swap: order product. Platform, language swap

  but I think that your license is double platform.  Download the mac version and see if your serial number will be activated.  If this isn't the case, at least, you will have the 30 day trial to use while you wait for your platform swap.

  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.

• Transfer of license of Windows 8 on another computer

  Can I transfer a valid purchased license of Windows 8 on a computer, that I do not use one that I use?

  I bought two upgrades Windows (in Windows 7) license under the terms of a special offer, but only found out later (and after the expiry of the offer) that the second purchase didn't pass, and so I don't have an activation key valid. At that time I had already used the key on computer A and did not for the computer, that computer B. b is the one I want to use regularly, leaving unused computer, so glad I remove Windows 8A computer in order to use the license on the computer B.

  I think I have to activate Windows on computer B over the phone and remove the license from the computer activation front on computer B. How do I practice? Does this mean that boot from a Windows CD, reformatting and abandonment of any attempt to install the operating system on CD (so that the reader will be absolutely empty)? I note the license key or any other information of the computer has ('on' screen or elsewhere) before doing this? (I'm not talking about back up my data here).

  The computer is now installed on is preinstalled with Windows 7, all you have to do is use the recovery partition to restore the Windows 7 computer then go forward to reinstall it on the other computer.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  If you had installed Windows 7 yourself, then proceed as follows:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  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.
