    Please help us, but it seems to be a problem with the end of Microsoft after all. Perhaps, they were low maintenance, when I tried to activate my Windows XP Pro yesterday.

  • How to save a copy of Windows XP that has been created by an image?

    I used 'Image for Linux' to create an image of a PC with Windows XP, SP3.  With that done, I can copy the image to a new PC and it works fine (assuming that I stay within the limits of the PC HAL).

    My problem is that I don't have to enter a new key of Windows XP when I installed the image on another PC. for example, I use a license of Windows XP on two PCs.  Since I want to be legitimate on my software license, I tried to activate Windows XP license to new PC - but the computer says that the license is already activated.  So it is logical that the new PC would react like that - I put the picture of an activated copy of Windows on a new PC, the new copy of Windows must also think that it is enabled.

    All this brings me to my original question: how to save a copy of Windows XP that has been created by an image?

    Hi RichardMatt,
     
    I recommend you contact the customer service of Microsoft for queries on activation for clarity.

  • Six years old copy of Windows 7 Professional now is more authentic.

    I bought my copy of Windows 7 Professional from NewEgg some time in 2009.  I then installed on my new computer and have used it several times since then to make fresh re - installs due to drive failure hard, either because I bought new equipment.  I recently got a new SSD and decided to seize the opportunity to make an another re-install.  I've never had any trouble activating after each installation in the past, but this time, no matter what I do or how I'm trying to activate it, I said repeatedly that this copy of windows is not genuine.  I tell you what, however.  I have 2 drives (32 bit and 64 bit) in a package of upgrade of retail with a valid product code.  (I can provide pictures if necessary).  I tried to validate using the tool Microsoft online without success.  I used the phone app and the app assisted voice online with the same results.  Is someone can you please tell me how I can restore the validity of my copy of windows.  Thank you

  • Need a copy of Windows XP Professional

    I just bought a laptop computer recycling and hard drive is wiped clean there is no operating system. The gentleman told me that they don't not install opperating systems, however the CD key is at the bottom of the laptop. Is there a way I can get a copy of Windows XP Professional? It's the OS that was on it. I can burn it to a cd if necessary, I just need to find it. Can anyone help?

    You must not only find Windows XP Professional-, but a version of OEM Windows XP Professional, or you can google to find out how to edit the setupp.ini and create a new CD.

    Beg/borrow from a friend or acquaintance of the nice information technology a copy of the CD.  I wouldn't trust to a lot of places where you might find online.

  • I just reinstalled my own copy of Windows 7 Professional and I get an error of activation.

    I just reinstalled my own copy of Windows 7 Professional and I get an error of activation.  How it enabled?  Who can I call?

    the easiest way is to use your COA key. (it can be found in your battery compartment.)
    Unfortunately, the recovery media is AWOL

    You should also have an OEM recovery partition that can be used to retrieve shipped from your system to a State. check your documentation or your manufacturer's website for instructions on how to use it. You can also order your manufacturer's recovery disks.

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  • I have yet to validate my copy of Windows XP

    I entered the product key and the message read error "the product key used to activate Windows on your PC is a volume license key that has been blocked by Microsoft." What can I do now? Is it a way Microsoft forces me to buy Windows 7 or is it 8?

    BaltimoreCurtis

    A Volume license key is used by businesses and not to private users. You must use the retail or OEM license key (which is usually on a sticker on your machine).

    If you do not then unfortunately you will need to purchase a new copy of Windows.

    I hope this helps.

  • Bought a new PC. Can I use my old copy of Windows XP Professional on the new computer? If so, how can I migrate this course?

    Hello.. I bought a Microsoft Windows XP Professional genuine Cd a few years ago. But my PC is now out of use due to some electrical problems and WIN XP

    has been installed on this computer. Now, I bought a new PC how can I obtain a new permit for the same windows, that I am able to use it on my new PC? Thank you

    original title: new license for my WIN XP

    It seems that you bought an XP license retail.  If so, you can just install this same drive with the same license key on your new machine as your old machine is no longer operational.  A retail license should be transferable, while an OEM license is bound to the first machine that it has been installed on.

    Details are set out on this Microsoft license FAQ:
