I want to clone my hard drive and this clone allows you to configure a new computer, how do I do this for several PCs with different versions of XP?

I am trying to replace 15 PCs.  They all have XP because their BONES, bought with different SPs at different times.  They all have been updated to SP3...  They have all MS 2003, upgaded to MS 2007.  I would use a clone as image.  I do not support different key codes?  Although the XP are authentic, I may not all key codes.  My predessor has not keep good records, and stickers on some had labels of Vista.  Even if the PC was bought with XP downgrade.  I need to use XP because of some other software requirements.

What is the best way to represent all the PC so that I can get back them to my users?

  • I want to format my hard drive and reinstall windows. How can ensure me that I can reuse the product key?

    I have a situation where my PC seems to be compromised by a virus or similar thoughly.
    I want to perform a low-level format low-level the disks and start over. However, I have a single windows license and I'm afraid that if I do the format I am unable to reinstall it with my product key (as it is already registered).

    Can someone advise how I de-register my copy of windows and retrieve the product key, so I can install it again as a new copy?

    Activate Windows 7 manually:

    2. press enter on your keyboard

    3. Select your country.

  • replacing the hard drive and windows 8

    just yesterday bought a hp laptop model #20002b19wm.

    This laptop came preloaded with windows 8.

    I think with windows 8, microsoft puts more COST on the machines themselves.

    My question is this, say the hard drive breaks down and I need to replace it, I'll have to go out and buy another copy of windows 8? I read that the 8 victory is only good for your ' current configuration at the time of the "as its related to the form of machines, etc..

    and where is my product key? hidden in the bios somewhere?

    I have to buy my hard drive from hp directly? I read here that if you try to put any hard drive laptop in these machines, you can not install windows because the new drive does not have the "Recovery" partition

    I'm pretty good with computers, and finally, I want to put a hard drive in this machine more. I hope someone out there can help.

    We hope to hear from someone.

    Hello

    Windows 8 machines come with the activation key encrypted in the bios chip, but you can always use a utility such as the one on the link below to read into the operating system.

    http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html

    If you create your recovery media set - see link below - you can use this to reinstall Windows 8 on another drive (it will also recreate the recovery on the new HARD drive Partition).

    Create recovery media - Windows 8.

    You are in no way limited to a given provider or a hard drive manufacturer.
