I'm rebuilding my machine because of an imminent hard disk crash, I will be able to reactivate my copy of windows 7 on new generation?

Well, I recently built a machine using Windows XP, upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate with a disc of the full version and a key.  The HARD drive is going after only two years.  BIOS AND Windows give me warnings, and I'm a moderator paid for a Web site.  My work depends on the stability of the machine; He needs a reconstruction and a new HARD drive.  I have everything already backed up.

My question is, since I already activated my copy of windows, is there a way to activate it again on the next generation?  Installation is always on a machine, I just need to be able to reactivate it.  I don't have a lot of time.  A quick response would be greatly appreciated.

If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

Click Install now

Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Click on drive Options

Select the disc/s click on Delete

Click new

Click on apply

Click OK

Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

Click on properties

Scroll down to the Windows Activation

Click the link x days before activation.

Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

Enter the product key

Click next

Select the Activation of the phone

Click Next when you enter your key page

Select your country

Click Next, call the number listed

Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

Click next to complete the activation.

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

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 upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • migrate time machine again Mac... then re time machine without duplicating the entire hard disk?

    Hello

    It should work, but it is not for me!

    My MacBook Pro retina is 3 years old. Running the most recent El Capitan.  I time the Machine every day, and everything's fine.

    You just bought a new MacBook Pro to replace my old.  All the information has migrated to the new machine through Migration.

    Everything worked successfully, and my 'new' machine is a 'mirror' of my old.  (Finally, especially!)

    But now... after a few hours I want to re-time Machine my new Mac to the same backup drive Time Machine I just migrated to.  I use about 200 GB on my Mac, and he wants to take about 2 hours and re back up everything!  But I've only added a few emails in the last 2 hours. My question - WHY Time Machine wants to fundamentally rewrite all or most of my data again?  It's all there and nothing is changed?  My current user administrator name is the same on both.

    Hmmm... I saw somewhere my old mac was named Larry (2) Mac and I see it now has named Mac Larry (3).

    I did that, I guess El Capitan did.  Would be - which is why he wants to rewrite all the data?

    Thank you very much - I think I'm not the only one out there who has this from happening?

    Larry

    Hello, Larry Cohen,.

    I understand the desire to have a time Machine just continue to use the existing backup with the new computer. It takes time to backup everything, and unless you erase the disc, first you'd have muliple backups on it.

    This article gives the instances when you can have the new Mac inherit the backup.

  • Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

    I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

    It is lifted directly from my EULA:

    1. GRANT OF LICENSE.
    The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that
    comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
    1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,
    display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on
    THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used
    by more than two 2-processor both on the
    COMPUTER, unless a greater number is
    indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
    Then...
    This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
    I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
    However...
    If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!

  • I have a simple question which I'm sure someone will be able to respond easily - I have windows xp, I've added nothing to my machine, but it does not now download updates - when I try to go on the microsoft download Web site - I can't. Help, please.

    I don't know how long this has happened, I get the shield down, but my downloads are not downloaded.

    I know that I probably won't get a response to my three questions, but I want to post a separate thank you.  It's really great that you use your knowledge to help people like me who just bumble along...  Thanks again.

    Now I have 3 questions that are not questions of direct update but I have the feeling that you can help.

    I now have service pack 3

    1. is windows better than Kerio firewall
    2. I said do not install IE8 - what you think
    3. should I perform MAM and Onecare safety scanner regularly.

    I thank in advance.

    J

    You're too kind, Joan. And, you're welcome mowst. Let's start from the beginning.
    Does firewall Kerio and AVG protect your system ?
    Go by the log MBAM, the answer is No .
    Windows native firewall is a sufficient protection when a system is on a network where the router contains a hardware firewall . A router that has a hardware firewall is not so expensive and well worth the investment.
    You can use a wired router, as opposed to a router costs a little more, if necessary.

    Now, as for the antivirus, I'm not a big fan of the AVG used by the user to type.
    I would recommend that the user typical home use AntiVir or Avast on moy. Like AVG, both are free for home use.
    For paid AVs, I would recommend NOD32 or FPROT .
    Microsoft Security Essentials, which is also free, we hope to be a solid AV, but I can not recommend at this stage.

    Installation of critical security updates, it is a needs . It seems that some malware has been able to infect the system due to the absence of the same installation. Specifically this one:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet004\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {f5eb5c1a-9817-46c9-b36a-6a6a007a8621} \NameServer (Trojan.DNSChanger )-> Data: 85.255.115.110,85.255.112.175-> quarantined and deleted successfully.

    Indicate if another update problem occurs that you wait not long to take care of it. Installation of critical security updates prevent many infections.

    I think that IE8 is the best browser that MS has ever released. If you choose to install it, strongly suggests you download the standalone installation package manually and Save it. Close all open programs and browsers.
    Temporarily disable the antivirus installed by following the steps in clean boot, and then install it.
    Make sure that you reboot twice when it installs.  You should receive at least a prompt to reboot, but do another after recommend an anyway.

    Now, back to the question 3. Strongly suggest you boot the system in Safe Mode and do a full scan of the system, just to be sure that MBAM has detected and deleted all the malware. Make sure you update MBAM before each scan .
    You can do it in normal mode Windows or Safe Mode with setting in network, but not in Safe Mode as long as the system is not connected to the internet in Mode without failure.
    It will take time for the full analysis to run, but it was worth. There may still be present hidden malware.
    And Yes, do at least an fortnight analysis with MBAM is well worth.
    In fact, you should consider buying the paid version, as the protection in real time, unlike the free version, and it will not come into conflict with the installed AV.
    Did a scan monthly with the OneCare safety scanner is also a smart thing to do.

    BUT , if it were a client system, I no longer trust him to bank services online or any other financial transaction.
    The system may have wrong headed by the DNSChanger trojan to web sites that were not what they seem.
    As well as information from financial transactions, passwords that you use, and no personal information stored on the system were also sent to the malicious web servers.
    To strongly suggest that you change every password you use just to be on the safe side.
    If you need or want to do transactions from this new system so the only way that you can trust , it is to format the hard drive and reinstall XP. Now that Service Pack 3 is installed and If you have the XP installation CD, you can do what is called a slipstream SP3 with the installation CD. In this way when format you and reinstall XP, it will be the SP3 and you'll save time by not having do not install several security updates.
    It's really not hard to do. Here's a good tutorial with graphics that explains it all:
    XP CD slipstreamed Windows using SP3

    And, finally, any AV or security program protects a system when the user installs the questionable software .
    Be very careful of free software, stolen software, cracked, key generators and other programs.
    Always investigate any software that seems too good to be true. As in real life, something that seems too good to be true probably is . Discover the software using Google or Bing to see what others have to say and to report on this issue.

    Be careful and safe surfing, Joan.

    I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

    You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

    Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

    Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

  • VMware Workstation is unable to open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum file size supported by the host file system.

    I'm transitioning from Windows XP (64-bit) on a new computer with Windows 7 installed.  I undertook to VMWare Workstation 6 7.0.1 in the process.  The problem is with a very large RAID 5 volume on the new system.  It's a score of 5.45 TB (TPG and NTFS).

    When I try to start a virtual machine on this volume, I get the message "VMware Workstation cannot open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum size of the files supported by the host file system.".  This is obviously not true.  If I copy the virtual machine to another drive on the system, it starts without a problem.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this problem?

    try to add this line in the vmx file:

    diskLib.sparseMaxFileSizeCheck = "false".

    Maybe it helps.

    VMDK-type do you use?

    monolithicSparse? -C' is the only part type more?

  • VMWare Fusion makes a break from the virtual machine because the disk is almost full.

    Is I myself am sitting at my computer this morning, I saw a message that says the guest system Windows XP Pro on my Mac Mini has been suspended.  Here is the message:

    "VMware Fusion has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

    I can't find a way to shut down Windows to resize hard disk space allocation.  I tried the Virtual Machine menu, but all the shut down/put off the power points are grayed out.

    Any ideas out there?

    You must read the message!

    BTW if force you the VM to the bottom you may corrupt the virtual system hard disk and or the VHD file and you need to just do as the message says and free up space on the OS X hard disk even if you temporarily move a few things on an external hard drive so that you can then reactivate the Virtual Machine and continue on the it.
