Hello everyone, I had to order a laptop for school. But it is still not there, so I had to install windows 7 and office 2010 on my old computer at home to do my school work. When my laptop is here, can I reinstall XP on my old computer and put my copy of windows 7 on the new laptop? Or is the product key now linked to my old computer?
If you have purchased commercial versions, then you're OK.
If you have bought OEM Windows 7 and activated, then the license is locked to the old PC (although you might try to discuss your case with MS)

I am trying to download 10 Windows using the ISO method. Everything worked so far, but now I'm up to the point where you are prompted to enter your product key.
I entered my correct product key, and it came up saying that it was an invalid key. I retried several times and I made sure I'm using the right key, but I get the message error "this product key has not worked. Please check it and try again, or try a different key. »I finished downloading a program that can find my key on my PC for me, just to double check. I get the same result, I enter the key, he says, and it is not valid.
The program that I downloaded was Produkey.Can't answer your question but I also have the same problem. Maybe I downloaded the correct version to install? I did one installs many clean with my 8.1 key product and it worked (I got my key written in various places and also double-checked with produkey before installing windows 10.
Good luck... It looks like I can go back to windows 8.

Hello
If Vista was preinstalled on your computer, read this information:
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
It may still be there after installation of XP
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

Cannot activate Windows, the product key already in use
Original title: product key already in use.
Recently, my computer crashed (power). Try to avoid problems with my hard drive, I bought the same computer exactly on the line. I installed my old hard drive on the newest computer and all is well... Except, when trying to activate my Windows Vista Ultimate OS I get the error message "The key of product already in use" Microsoft site confirms that the product key is authentic, but still will not let me activate. All solutions?
Your old computer had a "Retail" or "OEM" of Windows installed version?
OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard they are installed and can not be activated on another motherboard. The only exception is the 'mother' is exactly the same make / model / part number as the original motherboard.
Commercial versions can be moved from one computer to another without problem except that the the phone activation may be required.

Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7? Or my Windows 10 will work?
Your license is the product key.
You don't need to buy a license if you already have a product key.
Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:
How to: perform a customized Windows installation
Step 3:
You can also use your Windows 7 product key to install and activate Windows 10:
