• Save my computer while Microsoft will allow me to use this computer

  I'm with the program of warrior of woundered at Walter reed hospital.  They gave me a laptop Dell Inspiron with windows xp.  He worked for a few weeks and it stopped in the middle of an emnail in Iraq.  It now comes with license error and all licenses to date.  I work with it, but it won't allow me.  best buy said I need to contact thank you reenstatement to have my work computer once more.  Can you please allow me to have my laptop.  I'm in * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Once xp is activated through microsoft servers, the license to use the OS is active for the life of the computer, unless the OS is uninstalled from the computer.   When it is uninstalled the o.s. is disabled and the license is open for use on another computer.

  In addition, if the computer you have received had installed xp recently within the last 30 days and it has not been activated / license, then you would have received nag reminders on your desktop on the activation of your operating system

  In addition, since you have a laptop, its hard disk probably has a partition hidden with your files retrieved on it.   The hidden restore partition has your windows xp configuration files that can be used to install the laptop to its factory condition.  The method is called restore factory and the product key for your machine must be on a sticker of halographic under the laptop.

  So, it looks like you have another problem that is not related to the license for your xp...

  The question now is if your laptop has a sticker with the code key of the product on this subject.

• When Microsoft will release SP1 for Windows 7?

  I'm curious as to the criteria that Microsoft uses to determine where they should go out a certain Service Pack for their operating systems.  IM counting 43 updates already installed for my OS to Windows 7 and this OS is officially released less than a month. Im not here to complain the number of patches. Its impressive speed at which they release security patches when they occur. But my complaint would be more to have to download and individually install all these fixes in the future, if I were ever a reason any. Once again, what my question is, when can we expect the first Service Pack 1 for Windows 7, and what criteria are going to Microsoft during this decision to release a Service Pack?

  P.S. For the record I think that its sad that Microsoft does not release a Service Pack 4 for Windows XP. IM already on Windows 7, but many people don't. Even if the system fades into history, it all seems like the right thing to do given the number of a security updates for the operating system from the SP3. System configuration: Winndows 7 RTM, Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard, Intel Pentium Dual - Core E6300 Wolfdale 2.8 GHz, 4 GB of memory PC-1066 DDR2 Patriot Viper, 500 GB Western Digital hard drive, GeForce 8800GT Videocard

• Can you download or create a file/program/app, etc. who will record them in Windows 7 without them being there?

  We (IT) wants to be implemented new hours, software of statement.  For employees with computers, when they connect the morning is when they will be marked as 'in '.  I'm curious to know if there is a way around this for download (most likely) or creating (less likely) some 'thing' that will trigger at a time to log them even if they aren't there?  All our computers are Windows 7 Pro SP1, all users have a password on their computer is synchronized with Active Directory.

  It is possible to create a process of automatic logon for workstations, but as far as I KNOW, this can be done in a domain environment.

• We had Best Buy install a new motherboard and have now no Windows XP. How can reinstall us with no available disks?

  We took our best Buy HP cleaan out and install a new motherboard, but now we must not be pulled up to Window XP and theyu advised us that we need to buy it again.  Is it possible to reinstall windows XP without buying the whole program again.

  -What did they replace the motherboard with an identical?  If so, Windows XP may be able to run.  What happens when you try to start it?

  Don't have they replaced the hard drive?  If this is not the case, there could be a recovery partition on the disk that you can use to install Windows XP.

  Otherwise, contact the manufacturer of the computer for an installation disc.

  You shouldn't buy a new copy of XP.  A computer repairman competent all these possibilities would discuss with you before starting the repair work.

  Hi DorisDowd,

  It seems that you have a retail copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2003. According to the license terms, it can be installed on a primary device and a portable device at a time.
  You can look here: http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/UseTerms/Default.aspx

  So yes, you can still use it on a new computer if you do not buy one. It is also certainly compatible with Windows 7. Visit the Compatibility Center Windows 7 here:

• Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail?

  I went to the store to buy a copy of Windows 7. When I got home, I realized it was the OEM 64-bit edition. I already opened and installed. I just noticed that I should use the copy that I am not a seller of computer retail. Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail? I'll be money for theOEM. I guess I should have ask a seller in the store, but they were all occupied. I installed it for someone else while they are mad at me. Can I do a system restore to solve the problem?

  Original title: oem vs retail

  There is nothing wrong with using an OEM copy, its identical to a retail license, just that he has a certain license terms. Considering that the retail licenses are rare and expensive right now, I'd work with OEM license. Microsoft ended sales at retail of Windows 7 in October 2013, while they carry a premium right now.

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
