I put my copy of Windows XP on another computer?

Hello.

can I put my old copy of windows xp on another computer (the father in the computer of the Act) that I have improved my computer now in windows 7? so my old copy of xp will always only on a single computer.
Thanks for any help.

OEM = No.

Commercial version = Yes "as long as the XP product key was not used as the basis for the upgrade to Vista or Windows 7".

Also the product XP key no. must be used or installed on another computer.

  • How can I move my copy of windows 7 on another computer?

    I bought a copy upgrade of windows 7 for my back when it first came out (my computer went on XP at the time). I am now to move to a new computer and want to transfer my operating system of windows 7 to the new machine. I can access is no longer the download link, although as microsoft.com does not recognize the email address I used to create the account, I used to buy the upgrade. When I bought the upgrade, it was part of a generation of students and may request a .edu address, if that's any help.

    Whatever the case, I would like to know if there is a way I can retrieve my download link or move the files I need directly to the new computer (which is currently being worked on vista).

    Hello

    If it's a retail license, Yes, you can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time. The previous installation of Windows 7 must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turn on the second computer will automatically deactivate the license for the first computer.
    If you have any difficulties, activation of Windows 7 after the relocation to open the Windows Activation Wizard in Windows 7 to use the phone and activate Windows. During the Windows 7 installation at the entrance of your product keys page, do not enter your key and uncheck the "automatically activate when online.
    1. Click Start, and then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
    2. press enter on your keyboard
    3. Select your country.
    4. Select the option to activate the phone, then call and hold to a real person.

    Hello

    No.; If the operating system on the other came computer preinstalled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) you can't use it on another PC.

    If the laptop/computer came with preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  • How can I copy Camera RAW default to another computer?

    I use Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Camera RAW to process the RAW (D700) files.  I ACR preferences to present ASA specific default values, which means that I have 41 defaults for ACR.  I have a folder of images taken with the D700 that includes an image for each SAA, the camera can select by activating auto ASA in the D700, which is where I have ASA 41 values.  I use pictures in this folder to set a default value for each value ASA then select one at a time in Camera RAW and click to set a new default for ACR (Adobe Camera RAW).  These default values are saved in a location on the computer, but I don't know where.  I would copy these defaults registered to another computer that is also running Photoshop CS6.  Someone knows where are the default values, or is there a better way to accomplish this?

  • Is it safe to use a new copy of windows 7 on a computer without saving the license key?

    I have not registered my copy of windows 7 because I want to save it to a new computer.

    You can always do an install without Windows 7 key (skip entered the product key during the installation) and use Windows 7 until 30 days before activation.

    Registration is different and is not mandatory, but activation of the product is because it matches the license to your machine.

  • Can I install my same copy of windows on my new computer build?

    So I just build a new custom computer. I have a new 64 GB drive hard solid state that I wish I had ONLY my operating system. I also have my old hard drive in my new build with all my old files and the operating system on it (I also cloned it on an another HARD drive so that if something was wrong, I have a backup of all my files). But anyway, my question is if there is a way to ONLY my my my old HDD SSD new operating system without wear on all programs (because with all the other programs, its not going to adapt). I realize that there is a small chance that it is possible to do that, so my other option would be to just do a fresh install on my SSD with my windows of my old computer disk. I called Microsoft technical support regarding my problem and they said, is that the only way to a successful installation is to buy a new product key, because otherwise it will not work. They said that the only way to get around the purchase of a new key is to uninstall windows on the old disk and then you will be able to use the key on the new SSD. The only problem with this is I have no way to boot the old disk, as this would require completely rebuild me my old computer which I just can't do (I already tried to start on the old drive in the new computer). Anyway, if you guys know anyway which would solve all my problems, that would be great, because I can't afford to buy a new windows product key.

    Thank you

    Support for Microsoft people are correct. The only option is to not use or attempt to start the drive on the new computer (of course you can use it as a data drive) this will allow you to use at least the license on the SSD.

  • Can I re - install Windows 8 in another computer?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Yes, you can re - install Windows 8 on a different computer.  Before you re-install in another computer, please make sure that you remove Windows 8 to the computer that you have already installed software license terms Microsoft allows a copy must be installed on one computer only.

    To remove Windows 8 of the current computer, you must perform a clean installation of Windows 8. Install with previous operating system drive (Windows 7\ Vista\XP). This removes Windows 8 in the current computer and install the previous operating system.

    Note: You may lose all your data when you perform a new installation, so please back up all data before installing the previous operating system.

    Once you have removed Windows 8 from the current computer, download Windows 8 in the new computer and install. When installing, please provide the same license key that you used during your first installation of Windows 8. You can also find this key in the purchase confirmation email that you received.

    I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please get back to us and we would be happy to help you.

  • Get Windows 7 on another computer

    I recently bought a ThinkPad Edge 14 and with it a copy of the 64-bit Windows 7 preinstalled.

    Seeing that I use based on unix systems for work, I was wondering if I could wear somehow the copy of Windows 7 that came on the ThinkPad Edge on my desk at home.

    It would be a possibility?

    Thank you

    When you buy a computer with Windows, you get an OEM license. The license OEM Windows belong to the computer and not you and cannot be legally transferred to a new computer. If the computer license die with the computer or in the case where you are selling the computer the new owner will receive the license as well as it belongs to the computer.

  • Message came up with, "Windows has detected another computer with the same IP address on this netework."

    A message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address. "... or similar message to one, that could just be the functioning of the laptop for the wireless?

    MurrayJoe:

    > Mean someone has or may have access to my PC or laptop?

    You mentioned a wireless laptop. Do you get this message at home (when your laptop is in communication with your own wireless router), or that you get this message when in a public hotspot?

    If at home, then I would be not too concerned (what security options enabled in your home router?).

    If you get the message while using a public access point, this does not necessarily your computer has been hacked... but it is a warning that you should not ignore. In general, I would not go to any site that has my financial data, or any other sensitive data, a public hotspot. There are too many ways that a public hotspot may be compromised.

    Your original post said that "a message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address.

    There are several reasons this could happen... some innocent people and some not so innocent.

    If your network is configured for the most common way, then your router uses a feature called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can read about DHCP here...

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

    Basically, when a device on your home network needs an IP address, he asks your router and your router assigns an IP address... technically, "rents" the router address for a given period (one day). Once this period has elapsed, the device must 'renew lease'.

    DHCP stops you from the hassle of having to assign a static IP address to each device on your network and then don't forget to retrieve that meet if/when a device are removed from your network.

    Sometimes the process DHCP can be confused and assign the same address on multiple devices. If/when this happens, communication between devices on your home network may be confused. Windows is smart enough to detect that another device on your home network has the same address as the computer where Windows is currently running..., but Windows can not solve the problem.

    You can determine the IP address of the computer that is running Windows (and posted the message you saw)... by entering "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks) at a command line prompt. Then you can check the IP addresses of all devices on your network until you find the other devices with the same IP address. Then you could say either every device to get a new IP address of the router (or restart the device). Alternatively, you can try just stating the computer that is running Windows to get a new IP address (by first entering "ipconfig/release" then "ipconfig / renew" in the command-line invite him... all orders without the quotes).

    But since you said that you are not very tech savvy, my first suggestion was the easiest... just shut everything in your network, and then restart one at a time by starting with your ISP device, router, and other devices. If the problem persists after that, then more troubleshooting (as described in the previous paragraph) would be necessary.

    I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you. If you have any questions, please post them and I'll try to answer.
