• Windows 7 Home premium on virtual machine

  Hello I have a Sony Vaio S series keyed pre-installed windows 7 Home Premium OA MEA with the product at the bottom of the unit, I bought a mac book pro, and I want to use the same version (downloaded the iso file) as a virtual machine, the question is can I use the same product key to activate windows on the virtual machine?

  Hello

  A license is a single Installation.

  Even if you wanted to install this Windows 7 in a Virtual Machine on the Sony, you would need a second licence

  And license information for the pre-installed on your machine from Sony OEM licenses.

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Vaio from Sony, Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, Sony Vaio, machines etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when the machine that dies.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

• I want to install Win XP on Satellite A305-S6905

  Hello.

  I want to downgrade my Vista to XP because of problems and slow down my PC...
  For example I can't download updates antivirus, games etc...

  I read in the forum that I need some kind of sata drivers and those I can do myself, but someone can help me with other drivers because I use this laptop for an hour and I know not what drivers there need.

  If someone could give me links to the necessary software, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that you couldn't find the right drivers XP because you didn t find on the right-hand page.
  Like you probably n t know that this series of laptop (Satellite A305) belongs to Toshiba from US and you have to find good drivers on Toshiba U.S. page!
  http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/home.to

  In addition, if you want to install Win XP on laptop thin, you will need to install the SATA drivers first.
  The SATA drivers are on Intel Storage Manager part which can be downloaded from the Intel and Toshiba page page as well.

  But if you don t want to install SATA drivers, there is another possibility to install the XP.
  Just access the BIOS and set the compatible SATA to AHCI mode.

  That s it.

  One of the things that I recommend you do so after creating the system image is to change the name of the computer to something else, so if you decide to create another backup system image, it's not too write the original. You can use this even as a method for having multiple images of different systems.

• I want to install Win 7 Pro 64 bytes on Win 7 Pro 32 bytes.

  I want to install Win 7 Pro 64 bytes on Win 7 Pro 32 bytes. I would lose my Microsoft Office 2007 and files, 3rd party software. If so is there a way to save them? How can I backup my Outlook pst. file? Is that all I have to do it before I try it?

  You cannot go directly from the 32-bit to 64-bit.  The best thing to do would be to create a new partition and install the 64-bit version in that.  You will have access to the data on the partition of 32 bits, but will need to install your applications in the 64 bit one.

  Good luck.

• Cannot install VMware vCenter Server on a virtual machine

  Hello world

  I'm new to the forum. I try to install the vcenter server in a virtual machine.

  Configuration of the VM: 10G VMDK, used 7G... 2G memory... guest operating system is win XP Pro.

  When I run the Setup it says:

  This installation package could not be opened!

  I have attached a JPG of the error. Can someone please!

  Kind regards.

  64 bit is not supported as a host to vCenter operating system, see the compatibility guide posted above.  I would try to mount the ISO using the client machine instead of starting from the ESX host, it could be that your DVD image is not good.

  However the slp cert is identical for each single Dell system running with Windows 7 Home Premium factory settings or installed with a Windows 7 Home Premium DVD Dell reinstallation, you cannot back up your own files.

  If you get a Dell reinstallation DVD, you will use the same activation mechanism. I have backup upward cert for each version of Dell for Vista and 7 as well all that you need to do is copy program to extract the ABR folder and run restore activation.

At this time in my life that I have too many things to deal with, so I'm happy, I had an image file to fall back on.

  I wish MS would get their act so that what made their operating system. It is not valid, but it is also valid if you please upgrade to Windows 10.
