HP laptop purchased with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7 - laptop damaged
Hello
I bought a laptop HP with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7. Now, the laptop is damaged for the 2nd time. I would go for a locally assembled desktop computer with Intel, last configuration chipset.
Can I use Win Vista / Win 7 license key on my desktop? What installer I use (Win Vista or Win 7)? and how do I get the installer?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
PAL
Hello
You cannot transfer the license of Vista.
If Windows 7 Upgrade was not part of this upgrade offering free back then, you can transfer, but you need an operating system to be installed to upgrade.
Read this information and you will understand what I mean:
If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.
Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
See you soon.

Hello
The product key you use to install could be a volume license key, you can contact your network administrator to download the iso from this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and install the W8. The W8 will be key during the installation or is installed with the default key that will work for 30 days. If it is installed with a default key, you can change the product key with the suite of measures
-Run as administrator command line
-Enter the following commandslmgr.vbs-ipk TYPE-YOUR-KEY-RIGHT-HERE
-Now go to the properties of your computer and click on activate Windows.She's... You are finished with the activation of new volume Windows8 license.
For more information you can refer to the answer for the next post

Have problems with the Audio after upgrade to Windows 10
I got a free upgrade for Windows 10 option on my laptop Acer Aspire SW5-011. Everything seemed to work fine, except that I don't bother checking the audio before deleting the files Windows 8... Even if the computer thinks that the Audio drivers work very well that they are not. I have tried everything that I could find online to see if I could get any sound, but nothing has worked. I updated the drivers, kidnapped rebooted and updated the drivers, I tried to find the other acceptable drivers and other follow-up steps. "When I go to reading tab in the sound and click speakers, and then I go to the Advanced tab, the default format said, ' 16 bit, 48000 hrtz ' is grey, I can't click on it and when I try to test it says:"Cannot play testtone" It's as if something prevents me from accessing or it acts like I'm not pregnant? The speaker driver is called "Intel SSD Audio Device. The audio worked fine before downloading. Is it possible to fix my Audio, or to have access to it yet?
Good so I had to update my post because I had to give the good news! However, that is how I am and I almost try everything and tinkering with different things. My audio works now. I went back the download Acer drivers and manual for my camera and I checked under 32-bit Windows 8, which was windows available. I installed my ID which has been deleted before when I had restarted or any number of things, I tried, and then I went in Drivers and installed the Master Installer. I made sure that I extracted all the files before proceeding with the installation. After it restarted my laptop I heard the Windows startup sound and I knew that it worked because I had no sound at all before. Not sure why it worked, but it did! I felt there was some sort of missing file or a compatibility issue, I'm just happy that the program helped master installation. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers/5687;-; SW5-011 #_ga = 1.21697787.1131678756.1448199856

Original title: Error Installing Win Vista Home premium.
I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium. Suddenly, it wouldn't start. I changed the boot CD ROM and put my Vista disc in and tried to do a "repair" that it came with missing engine or something like this. After several attempts, I gave up and formatted hard drive losing all my data and programs (rather difficult to backup files when the computer does not start). So, I tried a complete installation. I put in the license code and he started the installation. After a few minutes, the message came; "Windows Setup could not reset the deployment engine. to install windows, restart the installation. I tried several times including completely turn off the computer for several minutes and try again. I tried several times. I thought oh well, I will install my Windows 7 program (this and never used). Error on this installation was: your CPU is only good for 32 bit and Win 7 I have is a 64-bit version. I'D RATHER INSTALL VISTA BUT need help on the error regarding the deployment engine. Thank you, Lloyd

(3) are there any restrictions on the material and performance Windows 8.1 with Bing features
Thank you
Hello Crvenica,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
8.1 Windows with 'Bing' isn't a special version of the operating system with a specific hardware configuration. If you are referring to a system with and without installed Bing app 8.1 Windows, so here are answers to your question.
(1) can Windows 8.1 with the work of bing with more than 2 GB of RAM then
Altogether. In fact, the minimum requirement of RAM for Windows 8.1 is: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit).
(2) can it be upgraded to Windows 10
If your Windows 8.1 is activated with a valid product license, you can certainly improve your system to Windows 10 minimum system requirements. To book your free update of Windows 10, refer to the following Wiki article:
How to book your free update of Windows 10
(3) is there any limitation of Windows 8.1 with Bing related performancies and feature material
No, there is no specific limitation on Windows 8.1 on Bing unless there is a problem of corruption within the system app. The Bing for Windows 8.1 application site said, "the developer of the app believes this app meets accessibility requirements, makes it easier for everyone to use.
Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

IdeaPad Z580 trouble with smart touchpad after upgrade of Windows 8
I own a Z580 Ideapad and upgraded to Windows 8 yesterday. I noticed that the smart touchpad stopped working after the upgrade. I installed the correct driver, Synaptics Touchpad Driver for Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit) - IdeaPad Z380/Z480/Z580, hoping that it would work, but nothing helped. I also tried to reinstall/overwrite my existing 64-bit driver when prompted by my system to do so.
Scrolling, pinch and side scrolling don't work at all. It is quite frustrating. Help, please.

Acer laptop comes with Vista and upgraded to Windows 7 now does not
My daughter has an Acer laptop and her boyfriend spoke to him in switching to Windows 7, but we are not sure if it was legitimate. He worked for a year or so, but now she cannot access the start menu, you cannot start in safe mode and may have a virus. She has no backup discs. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Well, if she worked for a year, then it is probably quite legitimate. Whatever this is not activated within 30 days is usually made in an unusable state, or limited. The most likely problem is a virus. She is able to run programs? Some useful malware removal tools are:
Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool
Malwarebytes
SUPERAntiSpyware
Spybot Search and Destroy
Microsoft safety scannerAnd it's not the Windows 7 installation disc that used her boyfriend? If you cannot use these tools or the computer is too slow and does not respond then you can use a Live CD. What you do is start you on a CD or a flash drive in a separate operating system in order to perform analyses of virus on the hard drive. You will need to use another computer with a blank CD burner and imgburn program. Write these two files .iso with imgburn.
BitDefender Rescue CD
Kaspersky Rescue DiskTurn on the computer. Insert the CD of bitdefender inside her computer. Turn off and turn on and watch directly downstairs or upstairs for command to enter the Boot Manager (usually F12) or BIOS Setup (usually F2). Is there is a Boot Manager button and then you must press the key once in a relationship at the time wherever you turn on the computer. Select this option to boot from CD/DVD.
Is there is only one button for BIOS, then you will need to manually rearrange the order of boot devices so that the CD/DVD drive is at the top which makes the first boot device.
When the operating system loads up, make sure that you connected to the internet and update the latest virus definitions. You can then run the scan on the hard drive. After that all viruses are removed, then do you the same thing with the Kaspersky CD. It's just to make sure that all viruses are removed.
I hope that my explanation was not too difficult to follow.
