If I put my XP Pro on the new PC?

I have an old PC, fast fading and want to rebuild. I am comfortable with XP Pro now and perhaps upgrade later, if I install my Windows XP Pro Genuine Advantage kit on this reconstruction?

If the XP product key is a 'Complète' version of the retail sale and is no longer in use on your other computer, yes you can install XP on your refurbished computer. OEM versions (comes pre-installed with the computer) are related to the first computer/motherboard on which it was installed.

Don't forget the device drivers. You new motherboard must support XP (XP drivers available for download from the manufacturing of the motherboard for your specific model number).

Activation of the phone may be required depending on how recently the XP key was in use.

    You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.

    1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
    you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
    you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
    a copy (or a license) for each computer.

    There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
    effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

    2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
    the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
    computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
    OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
    It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
    computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer).

    With a Mac, it is possible to transfer all Applications and the prgograms of an old computer (e.g. Max Pro) to a new one (e.g.iMac) using the migration wizard. This makes labour infact except Adobe Indiesign 5.5. Trying to lunch program ends with a total crash and an error message. However, this is clearly what caused the accident.

  • Problems with the MacBook Pro after the new update, restore or wait?

    I recently upgraded my Macbook with the new update of security El Capitan and I saw that the update is more buggy that is useful. My battery is dying much faster with the same amount of use and my internet constantly disconnects and reconnects if I'm on internet applications. I also found that if I drop something in my computer, the wifi will stop then as well. Should I try to reinstall El Capitan or do I have to wait until the bugs are fixed? (If they will be by apple)?

  • Acer Aspire its problems after Win 7 Pro and the new installed HARD drive

    I have an acer aspire 8735 laptop g-6502 which has recently undergone a WD 500 GB drive HARD failure. I replaced that with a 7200 RPM Hitachi 1 TB drive and given that I don't have a Win 7 original used a disk Win 7 Pro with an extra friend.

    Windows 7 Pro and HARD disk installation went smooth. But now when I plug an HDMI cable to watch through my Marantz receiver, comes from the video, but I have to do manually the Marantz the default audio device for sound. When I unplug the HDMI, I must return to the parameters of sound and unenable Marantz and re - activate the Realtek audio.

    Before the drive died HARD, happen all perfectly when you plug the HDMI cable in and the fact to disconnect without any fiddling around with settings.

    I also have a few other questions:
    1. the touch volume control next to the numeric keypad does not control the volume more
    2. the keyboard key used to have a setting to display it. You can use two fingers on a tablet to drag the image to the screen bigger and smaller.

    I looked the site of Acer and also used my drive Application and drivers to reinstall everything that looked related to these issues. When first, I installed Win 7 Pro I let Windows find the appropriate drivers. It worked for some things but not others.

    Any ideas? I have a few scratches on my face and my forehead in frustration pain making me beat me here. Funny, but true, so all ideas are appreciated!

  • reinstalled Windows XP Pro on the new HARD disk, not invited to key code

    My Dimension 9200 needed a new HARD drive. Ordered from Dell, installed HD then re-installed Windows XP Pro sp2. I forgot to unplug the media reader, so I had to reinstall it again to get HARD drive letter assignment as C. Added drivers in good condition and just download and install sp3 and all the necessary updates. Now, all that remains is to transfer all the files from the old HD.

    Never, I was invited to the WinXP key code. I DO have the Dell OEM disc as well as the installation key code in the original Dell factory. I was wondering if anyone else had the same "problem". I checked under administrative tools and don't see anything that ask you "activation". The only thing that I went off and was invited to provide was the key code when I installed MS Office 2003. When I check in system properties, General, it shows that it is registered to me and some numbers with Dell OEM then more numbers, not the OS key code well.

    Anyone can shed some light on this? Thank you

    When you use a Dell OEM media on a Dell computer, it checks the BIOS to make sure that it is install on a Dell computer, then it will be activated automatically, using a generic OEM key.  As long as you have the sticker COST/License/Product Key, you have the right to run Windows on this computer.  That's pretty standard for OEM systems.

    System properties still shows a 'code', not the actual key.  You can use Magic Jelly Bean to retrieve the key used to activate Windows, but the key, that he will return does not match your COA and cannot be used for manual activation.
