I'll be able to reuse my Windows 7 Pro CD for my MacBook and it produces is essential, given that is is not active on any machine?

Hello

I had installed Windows 7 Professional on my pc and later updated to upgrade to windows 8. I have now bought a MacBook Pro and I am hoping to use Bootcamp to partition my hard drive, to allow me to use Windows as OS X. So, I have a few questions.

  1. I'll be able to reuse my Windows 7 Pro CD for my MacBook and it produces is essential, given that is is not active on any machine?
  2. If this is not the case, what is recommended?

Thank you

Original title: Windows 7

Only the Windows 8 OEM System Builder licenses are full versions. The retail version of Windows 8 is not a full version, but an upgrade and requires a previous version of Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7 installed) in order to use it.

Commercial versions of Windows 8.1 are full versions. Have different product keys is not a full version.

  • Windows 7 Pro upgrade for reuse

    My last computer was shipped with Vista Home Premium. I bought Windows 7 Pro update for this computer. The death of this machine, I bought another HP with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I reused my disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade successfully. I have Windows 7 recovery discs that were created before the installation of Windows 7 Pro upgrade. Now, I pre-ordered Windows 8 Pro. When it happens, I would use my Windows 7 recovery discs (Home Premium) to bring the machine to its original state, and then install Windows 8 Pro Upgrade. Then I would use the disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade to upgrade to another computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Will there be problems reusing this disc again?

    Hi flnettles,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    If it is a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own XP/Vista license qualification). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be in the format / deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    If it is licensed OEM - No.
    OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

    Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

    If you have trouble activating Windows 7 you can call Microsoft to activate it by following these steps:
    1. with the operation of Windows, click Start, then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
    2. press enter on your keyboard
    3. Select your country.
    4. Select the telephone activation option, then dial the given number and hold for a real person.

  • My computer with Windows 7 Home updated for Firefox v34.0.5 but my two computers that are running Windows 7 Pro have not yet updated beyond Firefox v34.0. Something wrong?

    See info above. I re - run the update process at least 10 times on the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (most recently this morning), and whenever the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (one is 64-bit, one is 32-bit) say that Firefox v34.0 is "up-to-date". I checked Mozilla.org, which States that Firefox v34.0.5 was released in mid-December, but he said nothing about whether this update was only for some OSs. I also ran several scans antivirus from different vendors on two machines running Windows 7 Pro and all scans show no problems.

    Please advise is there are different versions of Firefox for Windows 7 family or Professional Edition, or if I'm having a problem. If I'm having a problem, please tell us how I can correct.

    We changed how updates were deployed to a test, that's why you were probably the 34.0.5 on a computer and 34.0.0 on the other. The only difference between them is that 34.0.5 defines yahoo as the default search. You don't need to worry because of the different versions (who both were released at the same time BTW)

    Please help I need to retrieve my emails! Thanks, Sarah

    McAfee is a huge problem with Windows Mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you want to use, wait until you get the job of Winmail.

    Check if you can connect webmail and that works very well and it's not a problem on the end of the server messaging or because of misspelled powers.  Then delete your account in WinMail, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and make sure that you have disabled the e-mail analysis then add your account to mail back again and see if it works.

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

If you want to put them on a USB stick, copy the files downloaded to the key and take it to the computer target. Copy the files on the computer desktop. Double-click on a file and it will unpack the installation routine starts. Follow the installation wizard. Reset when said to repeat as needed until all the drivers, etc are installed. Subsequently, you can delete the downloaded files from Dell (from installation .exe). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Windows Mail suddenly asking for the password and then argues that it is incorrect

    Hello.

    I have my Microsoft Windows Mail related to my TalkTalk email address, and this has worked well for years. There always was a case of just clicking in the start menu E-mail - login has been automatic. Until a few days ago...

    Now, when I click to open Windows Mail, I get a box of security Windows popping up, asking me to "connecting to mail.talktalk.net". I get my user name and password as requested (and which I've confirmed are correct) and login box reappears just - emptied - asking me to repeat the process.

    When I cancel the logon box, I get the error: "account: 'mail.talktalk.net', server: 'mail.talktalk.net', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR user name is required ', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC91.

    When I continue my Windows Mail, I find that I can send emails, but have not received anything since the beginning of this problem.

    Okay, I did a search for this problem, and it seems that although these error codes have something to do with my user name and password is not wrong. I checked all that, however, (Tools > accounts > properties > servers) and all the details seem correct and unchanged.

    I tried to connect to my e-mail account on the TalkTalk site, and it works very well - and confirms that I received emails in the last days. Try to do it via Windows Mail fair results in this area of connection from upward (she didn't use to) and he accepts not not my correct coordinates.

    Help please!

    Hmmm!

    I have a talktalk email account which has fallen into disuse, so I could do some tests.

    I can connect to the webmail of TalkTalk OK so I don't know the email address and password.

    I have configured Windows Mail with the correct information as stipulated on their help pages and get (almost) the same error as you, the only difference being the final code, which for me is20x800CCC9, so maybe you did a "typo"?
