HP: unlock OEM windows 7 for use with another computer?
Hello
I recently got a HP computer with an OEM windows installation 7. After the machine (fatal hardware failure), I tried to use the windows key to install it on another computer. However, the key is an OEM product and would not activate, so after talking to microsoft they sent me here to ask if the manufacturer could "unlock" the key for use with another computer (that I build from scratch).
So all this possible? Or do I have to buy a new license?
Okay, Ive talked to HP and microsoft and it turns out that the key has been blocked (pirates). So much for the purchase of second hand.

How to install the printer with the laptop. Printer was used with another computer.
I wanted to use a printer with my laptop lexmark. The printer was used with another computer and it worked fine, but when I tried to use it with the laptop, I was not able find the installation disk and tried to install without it. The laptop produces a message indicating he could find the internet facility info if I accepted this. He had apparently fulfilled this function, and I tried to print a document. The document has been printed, but the result was so low, that it was not readable. I then found the installation disk and tried to restart but was confused by the messages and options. I don't have a printer that prints. Help.

Unplug the printer from the laptop. In Vista or Win 7, click Orb (Start), settings, Control Panel, printers. When the Lexmark printer is found, right-click on it and then click on remove.Equip your drive and install the drivers and programs on the disk, then when told the printer. You should have a printer now works. -

I installed windows 8 on computer 'A' by using a product key. After some time I upgraded to windows 8.1. now, I want to disable my computer product key 'A' so that I can use it on another computer.
There is no real deactivation procedure, slmgr.vbs - upk simply uninstalls the key and put the computer into test mode.
If you want to use the key to product elsewhere, you will need to use for phone activation reactivate on another computer:
Activation of the phone:
1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4
2. then press the ENTER"" key.
3. Select your "country" in the list.

External hard drive for use with FCPX Thunderbolt
I got a new iMac, but the SSD in it's tiny, so I need to invest in an external drive at least some of TB. Should I go Thunderbolt because I think it's faster? I'm looking at Fantom and Lacie but I'm not sure what would work best for use with FCPX.
Any tips or suggestions for these two manufacturers?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Well, a disc of Tb2 (which takes care of your iMac) will offer excellent performances. If you need these speeds depends on really how ask your projects are. A USB3 drive will be fast enough for the vast majority of HD projects. Expect to spend more for the readers of Thunderbolt2.
Here is a good article on configuring systems with external drives.
Good luck.

What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4
What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4. I heard some do not work and the automatic switch has problems because Apple tv is still using power?
I installed on a cutting and not because the automatic switch works because it isn't always. It came with a remote control that is almost as good, so don't mind the fact that automatic switching does not work well. The reason why I chose cutting is because it was the first device that gave me the good picture and sound quality with my AppleTV, the Xbox 360 and the PS4. (Don't ask!)
