If I do not use Windows xp can install on another computer

I have a disk of windows XP (upgrade) version, I am wanting to get rid of. But my question is I know use it more and went to window7 can give to someone to upgrade it computer. Has it been disabled presence I no longer use.

By the EULA only if it's a commercial version. If it is an OEM version (most versions are OEM), it is not allowed to use it on another PC.

And then...
This very likely another PC already has a licence to run XP (by the COA sticker). Can you confirm?

    problem trying to reinstall Windows 7, whenever I have insert the windows disk error message 7 arrives

    Compatibility report

    "windows cannot be installed on a computer using battery power. If the battery is discharged during the installation, you can lose data. to continue the installation plug into the computer power adapter.

    any help would be appreciated

    Most laptops have two power circuits separated when on AC, one to charge the battery and the other to run on the system board. It seems rather that the second circuit has failed, if the laptop power PIN is multi pole so it could be the power supply but it is rare.

    Check the label of the PSU manufacturers, if he makes mention of both voltages or two nominal currents, it is perhaps interesting to try a different PSU.

    If yours is a copy retail, you don't and I don't need to.

    Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

    You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
    If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.

  • If I buy windows 8 (any OS windows) now and install in my computer and after a year when I change my computer, can I install the SAME operating system in the new computer?

    If I buy windows 8 (any OS windows) now and install in my computer and after a year when I change my computer, can I install the SAME operating system in the new computer?

    You can if you buy a commercial box full of Windows 8 version.

    If you buy a computer with Windows preinstalled, or a version OEM of Windows 8, 8 No, you can't.

    If you buy a version upgrade, you can, as long as the new computer has a licensed version earlier of Windows on them.
