  I have a desktop computer with Vista business I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and install Vista on a laptop that has XP Pro but is Vista capable.

  Hello

  If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

  It is part of the upgrade process

  and also read this on licensing rules;

  If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

  The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  Hi Sumit and thanks for posting.

  Your Athreos has never connected? If it has connected then it not only connects it to insecure networks? Also after can trying to connect you do the following?

  Start, run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt:

  Type the following command:

  IPCONFIG/ALL

  [Note that there is no space between the oblique and ALL bar].

  Right click in the command window and choose Select all, and then press ENTER.
  Paste the results in a message here.

  I hope this helps. After the back if you have any questions.

• I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305-S5894 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed (32 bit). Unable to get a backup to a flash drive. Error: 0 x 81000029

  Original title: I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305-S5894 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed (32 bit).  Unable to get a backup to a flash drive.

  After back back, very many updates of windows, my computer is full of problems and it is not representative of the restore points far enough back to correct.  I want really to save my data and programs for flash drive (s) and then go for a full recovery of the system (return to factory).  When you try to do the backup on a 4 GB USB key I get an error including 0 x 81000029.  I have seen posted answers to this.  Everything is included to aid Vista disk from the window which was not included when I bought my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  The following article should be useful. To use system recovery options, you have Vista installation disc. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) repeatedly will install on the computer Windows recovery environment. To cross check if it is installed, try the following steps.

  1 start the computer and press the F8 key continuously to get advanced boot menu options.
  2. on the menu advanced startup options, check if the Startup Repair tool is in the list.
  3. If so, select it and press ENTER.
  4. If not, then you should organize a Vista installation disc.

  You may receive error messages when you try to perform a backup operation on a Windows Vista-based computer

• can I put windows 7 on a laptop that was given to me?

  They gave me a laptop, I can put my Windows 7 top?   I have a drive to restore a desktop computer that is dead?  Both Dell Inspiron computers.

  You cannot transfer an OEM of Windows from one computer to the other version.  When the original computer dies, the license dies with her.  You can purchase a license upgrade for the laptop that you has been provided and update in this way, assuming he has XP or Vista on it now.

  Good luck.

  Try these:
  METHOD 1:

  -------------------------------------------------------------
  METHOD 2:

  Try partitioning your hard drive and put your files there.

  1. Start menu search: 'drive '.
  2. click on create and format hard disk partitions
  3 right-click the Local Disk (C) and select shrink.
  4. According to the size of the files, we could save, choose the size you want to reduce (1000 MB = 1 GB)
  5. right click on the new "unallocated space" and create the Partition. (Name it BACKUP or something)
  6. place all your important files on the new partition, and then, when you reinstall Windows, select the Local Disk (C)
  DO NOT select the Partition you you saved on files.
  Hope that these answers are useful.

• Buying a new laptop that was on an old laptop broken.

  HI, I recently got a laptop on me and bought a new laptop. How do I deactivate the license on the old laptop (that I can't turn on) and use the license on the new laptop computer? Or I have to cancel my subscription? Thanks for any help

  Hello

  You don't need to cancel your subscription. Adobe CC subscription allows you to install and activate the product on 2 machines at a time.

  So you can install it on the second machine without any problem. However, if you intend to install it on a 3rd that you will always be able to do everything by activating the latter gives you option to disable the old activation in the prompt itself without manually disable the old machines.

  Please refer to the following article for Activation requests l https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/error-activation-limit-reached-sign.htm

  For installation, you can use the link according to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud

• System was originally shipped with Windows 7, I had fixed it, but the operating system has been changed to XP. Can I use the product key on the side to reinstall Windows 7?

  Reinstalling windows 7 after re-start of windows xp

  I bought my Asus computer came with windows 7 installed, earlier this year, I encountered a problem with the blue screen to come and I was unable to fix it, when I had my computer repaired they changed the operating system to windows xp, I was wondering if with registration # or whatever is on the side if I could download and reinstall Windows 7

  If the product key on the side of your machine is for Windows 7 and where-ever you guessed it "repaired" installed Windows XP - the real question becomes where they got a product key for Windows XP?

  You have the installation media for the copy of Windows 7 OEM which is preinstalled on your computer?

  If not - you will probably need to contact Asus (this laptop?) over media restore and/or check to see if the "repair" left any which restoration method should have been used intact.

• I have a laptop that I need to print from my printer at home. What choices do I have?

  You may buy a new ePrint printer and will find want to print to it without having to create an email.

  Well, there is a way to simulate an experience of traditional printing with ePrint from a cell phone (or other mobile computer).

  HP's ePrint driver Mobile that installs and behaves similar to a traditional printer, but it uses ePrint to print online.  In other words, you could be in the office and print to your personal printer with relative ease without occupying space of email to send it.

  To get the pilot Mobile ePrint, you simply connect to your www.eprintcenter.com account and click on the download link on the right side to the bottom of the news column.  Once there, click on your operating system to get the correct version.

  A manual for the ePrint can be found here.  It will describe in detail how to install the mobile driver and save the printer to it.

  I hope this information is useful!
