If I have a computer with Windows XP, can I use a disk given to me with Windows Home Vista on a download to update my Windows XP it
I have a computer comes with a Vista disk to the Windows Welcome page and now have acquired another (employee) computer that has Windows XP, service pack 3 on it. Can I take the Windows Home Vista disc and put it in my computer that has Windows XP on it and use the disk to upgrade to Windows Vista Home page?
Simple answer - No.
If the Vista machine is preinstalled, the software is locked to this motherboard and cannot be moved or installed on any other machine.

Activation of WINDOWS VISTA oem with another oem drive?
HI I have a computer with windows vista business on that key. Apparently, I do not have the original OEM drive but I have a dell windows vista Enterprise drive. the product to activate my acer desktop computer?Hello
A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.
Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:
And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.
With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.
See you soon.

Yes, it is possible to install Win7 on a Windows XP computer. Start here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-xp-to-windows-7
However, Windows Update has nothing to with the upgrade of Windows. Please post future questions about the upgrade in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

I have a new computer because the old computer was broken. Can I use Lightroom license more far. Or the license needs to be reset?
The license agreement that you signed up to you to have two machines with enabled facilities.
The option to turn off depends on which version of Lightroom, it is. Anything older than that version 6 has no option - simply reinstall and activate if necessary.

I have a computer laptop g60-635dx. can I upgrade the graphics card on this laptop?
Hello
Here are the specs of your machine:
He uses: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 M, which is soldred to the motherboard so practically you can not change because you have to change the motherboard, to buy the new video card, to change the cooling system... all adding up will cost more than a new machine.
Kind regards.

I have a table of Mac computer I have creative cloud with the programs I pay every month. I am looking to buy a computer mac laptop. Can I use the my creative cloud for this programs?
Hello
You can install the software on two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone.
If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it.
If you regularly need to use creative cloud on more than two computers, it would be better to buy an additional subscription.

Can I use a disk Windows 7 Home full version and just use the key to version upgrade license?
Original title: the reconstruction of my PC - Windows 7 issue.
I will be rebuilding my PC which has Windows 7 Home 64 bit installed. I did the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 with a family 3-pack. Can I use a disk Windows 7 Home full version and just use the key to version upgrade license? Seems a little ridiculous that I have to install another OS and do the upgrade. I searched the forums and could not easily find an answer to this question. Help, please. Thank you!
Also note that as you change not the motherboard Windows should not require re-installation and activation.

I know that I get 2 downloads. I have one on my Mac. Can I use one for my laptop?
Hello david,.
That is right. Cloud software can be installed on Mac or Windows for no extra cost. No platform swap process is necessary.
On the Mac log you just to creative.adobe.com with your Adobe ID and download the software. Same thing as you did on the PC.
