I want to use my own key to Windows on the new laptop, but no provision to do
I bought a new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit pre-installed. I have my own copy of Windows and want to use my own product key, but even though I followed the instructions of Microsoft it is not a way that I can enter the number in the activation section because it says already activated
Why would you do that?
Is the key you have for the same version that preinstalled, for example a bonus, Pro etc, and it is a detail, not upgrade version key?
Assuming that you have created recovery disks, in accordance with the instructions of PC makers, if ever you use these to retrieve if you plant you will need to change the key again.
And while you can reinstal of your dvd win, this would not include a pre-installed applications, and then you need to install the drivers for this PC manufacturer

Hello
Can I use my product key of windows 8 on the two pc... or if my pc crashed and I need to reinstall windows can use the same product key back
Thank you...
Original title: product key1 license, 1 computer only.
No, the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit of Windows 8 is exclusively for use with the disc 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely. If you want to install Windows 8 32-bit or 64-bit on another partition or another computer, you must purchase an additional license.
2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a. one copy per computer. You can install one copy of the software on a single computer. This computer is "licensed computer.
b. a computer license. You can use the software on up to two processors of the computer under license at some point. Except as provided in these license terms, you cannot use the software on any other computer.

d. other Versions. The software may include several versions, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. You may install and use only one version at a time.
How to buy additional keys:
Press the Windows key + X

Yes, you may be prompted to go through the installation routine with just the web installer of 5 MB, but you don't actually have to download, simply to purchase and the product key will be presented to you in the Upgrade Wizard (you also a copy is sent to your email address).
If your computer a fall, you can transfer the license to another computer. If it is a retail upgrade license, you must have a license of qualification (XP, Vista or Windows 7) on the new computer.

What is the best strategy to migrate data from Windows to one Mac to another? I use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on my current Mac but want to use Bootcamp on my new.
If it is only the data (not apps) I use Dropbox. It turned out to be the best way to move things between the side Mac and the bootcamped Windows of my iMac side. I don't see why it would not work to move data from a virtual machine installation of Win to a BootCamp installation.

- Some additional information:
- First items 12 and some other old versions must run under XP. If you really want to buy an older version, I see that they are available at some retailers like Amazon.
- If you end up buying a new computer, your options will be first items 13, Premiere Pro CS6, or subscribe to the creative cloud single app or another plan. Be sure to check the system requirements first.

How to uninstall and reinstall, or fix this problem. I hope I didn't just buy new software I can't use :) Thank you.
Is identical to the old version new version, which means, are of the same edition?
For example, is a copy of Windows 7 installed on Windows 7 Home Premium machine in addition to the new copy you purchased?
Because, if they are, simply update the product key:
Click Start, right click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click on the link 'change product key '.
Enter the product key
Click next to activate via the Internet.
If they are not the same, then you will need to do a custom installation, with the following exception.
If the new edition is greater than the current edition installed, then you can use the product key and upgrade to the new copy you purchased.
It should be higher if Starter > Home Basic > Home Premium > Professional > ultimate.
http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/26/Windows-7-anytime-upgrade-%E2%80%93-unlocking-more-benefits/
If it turns out to be something else, then you must use the new copy and do a custom installation:
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.
You will receive the following warning:
The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK
The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.
Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.
You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

Currently running on the laptop using Windows XP pro sp3 Firefox 3.5.13 and want to move my favorites to a new laptop. New laptop using Win 7 pro 64 - bit OS. I've read too many conflicting reports on Firefox and Win 7 and Firefox works on a real 64 - bit version. What are my choices for a stable browser for the new laptop and what specific version of Firefox is recommended, and the advantages and disadvantages of this suggestion? (I think we can run Firefox 32-bit version in the 64-bit environment, but which is the best choice?) I have not installed Firefox on the new laptop yet and am eager to dump IE. It is displayed for my old laptop. Thank you...
Mozilla working on a 64-bit version of Firefox, but it's a way off. Currently, the only release versions are 32-bit, and the next major version will be also only 32 bits.
I recommend that you install the latest version of publication (3.6.10) available since http://www.mozilla.com/
To copy bookmarks, follow the procedure described in the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer to save a json file, you can import (restore) on the new laptop. You can copy more bookmarks, for details, see back up and restore the information contained in the Firefox profiles and backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base Profile. The last link includes a third-party utility that can make the process easier.

I have a hp laptop and the original key of windows behind the laptop which is glued is half damaged then, how can we get that original key again?
Hi yayatisharma,
Product key Finder programs are USELESS for Vista computers preinstalled, as they find the product key of plant manufacturers, which is used for installations of mutiple during Assembly of the computer.
This key will not help you reinstall Vista!
If you communicate with HP they will post you Recovery DVD for a low price to reinstall Vista and they do NOT require a product key
Or ask the use of the recovery Partition, which must be copied to the hard drive HP
