I can exchange disk system after installation and activation

I installed W7 on a new computer and loaded all my applications.

Can not activate because I have a drive to upgrade - I don't want to reinstall all my apps?

What I can

> disconnect my system drive that will not turn on

> install XP on a new disc

> install the upgrade for W7

> turn on this facility

> share my original disc with all apps from the back.

will my system with the original disk then "enabled".

Activation is to do with the not the computer operating system. When you reinstall your original system drive, you still need to activate, except now, the key is already enabled. If it's an OEM license it would be linked to the motherboard, but it is in the o/s.

Upgrade disks are exactly that, an upgrade. You are legally required to have a full license of eligible operating system to the computer before installing an upgrade license. You cannot use a license to upgrade to a new computer, you must install and activate the license 1st qualification.

  • Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

    The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
    I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

    I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

    This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

    QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

    The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

    (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

    Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)
    John

    You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

    And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

    That is right.

    Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

    His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

    I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

    I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

    The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

    Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

    You can install Parallels, but you will not be able to transfer your license existing if its already active in Boot Camp. You first need to remove the Boot Camp, then you can transfer it to Parallels. You may need to reactivate by phone:

    Original title: Google Chrome

    during the installation and activation of google chrome, I lost my taskbar. How can I reinstall my taskbar?

    Hi Frank,.

    a. press CTRL + ESC.

    b. If the Start menu is displayed, click on the Start menu and then click Properties.

  • Windows 7 unrecoverable system after installation of ArcGIS - KB973688 and KB954430 errors

    Hello!

    I am running Windows 7 ultimate x 32 and windows update will not install two updates after installing ArcGIS 9.2:
    -Update for MSXML Core services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB973688)
    -Update for MSXML Core services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430)

    I tried several times with retry and installation manual several times with and without boot and startup (disabled UAC; admin install...). No question.

    I get to kb973688 errors:
    -Error code 643 (try it with windows update)
    -HRESULT: 0x800736FD (installation manual try, it stops at 2/3 progress bar, saying "Publishing product information").

    WindowsUpdate.log said several times:
    -WARNING: Failed to evaluate installed rule, updateID is {...}
    -WARNING: Failed to evaluate installed rule, updateID is {...}

    Between the parentheses, there are different channels such as D8BD0CF7-C4A8-48A8-9B1F-E791CE07F934.

    I tried to uninstall the updates with Add/Remove windows components, but no components are presented.

    CrapCleaner (ccleaner) tool shows, however, that there is a system restore point at a time where KB973688 was supposed to be installed.

    Finally, I tried the system restore to a couple of restore points, but restoration said that he cannot restore (!).

    So my last try: clean install from Windows 7, Windows XP Mode, installed ArcGIS 9.2 v. in Win XP Mode and I was back again smooth and clean.

    My question is: how is it possible that any application can corrupt and Win 7 so much! We hope enough that I got the chance to start, but if not, how can I recover my system and I want to say my system restore points and my options to add or remove system components?

    Have a happy new year!

    I found the following solution on the ESRI website that has worked for me.  It is a minor registry fix which gives more storage space for the Windows registry:

  • HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p199: need help with the installation and activation of 10 Windows after completely uninstalling Windows

    Hello HP assistants.

    I need help for a specific problem. My laptop came with an installation of Windows 8.1. Then I upgraded to 10 Windows when it became available. After a while, I decided to uninstall Windows completely (to wipe the hard drive) and install a Linux operating system.

    Now, I decided that I want to use some software that is not available on Linux and if I want to reinstall Windows 10. My problem is that Windows has completely disappeared in a form any. So now, I need to download Windows 10 from an official source (which I think can be done fairly easily from the official source of Microsoft, although if there is a better, HP official medium to do this then please recommend it) and then I need to activate Windows some how.

    As has been made clear, I have the right to use Windows 8.1 and 10 but I would need to download Windows 10 and turn it on. Is there a way to do this? I'm literally stuck without solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    As long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation as described in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

    Hi Harish,

    If you install it for the first time, it does not require a reboot. But if you repair the installation, it will require a reboot.

    Some quarterly updates require reboot. It also depends on when was the last time you rebooted the machine for the changes to apply.
