If I swap hard disks of your laptop to another can be used without formatting (Toshiba Hp)?

What happens if I buy a new copy of Vista and try a Windows repair? My Hp died so I figured I'd just get a new laptop and swap hard drives (not so easy). I have programs that need costly upgrades to run on windows 7 (with no advantage for me except it runs on windows 7). Any help would be appreciated

Hello

the answer to your question is: No.

You can not legally Exchange Vista OEM preinstalled under license hard drives between machines and different brands

they will not work even less activate due to different mothers, bios, licenses maps, etc.

the HP Toshiba vista systems come preinstalled and as such, they are the OEM licenses

OEM licenses are tied to the 1st machine that they were initially installed on

OEM license dies when the computer dies

Microsoft sells more vista

they moved on windows 7

  • Update Win 7 Starter to Home Premium operating system from a hard disk of the laptop with old?

    I have a netbook with Win 7 Starter.  I have an old laptop that the motherboard is dead hard disk.  I would like to transfer the Win 7 Home Premium OS from the hard drive of my netbook.  Since I already own the licence of this OS, is it possible to transfer?

    If Windows 7 Home Premium came preloaded on the old computer where the motherboard is dead, the answer is no. If the Home Premium license is a retail upgrade or full version, then all you have to do is use the key and product upgrade Starter to Home Premium.

    If the Windows 7 Home Premium license you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option to enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Home Premium, when asked, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium files the stored settings and programs.

  • I need an installation disc until I have swap hard disks. How?

    I have a laptop that I want to upgrade the HDD on. I have a ready replacement drive but did not create an installation disc, when I first had the laptop. How can I create a disk for me to reinstall vista on the new hard drive?

    Contact link points to PC manufacturers for the recovery discs: http://www.carrona.org/recdisc.html

  • Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

    The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

    Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

    Windows XP and earlier versions:

    \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Windows Vista and later:

    \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  • I need to replace my hard drive on my laptop. How can I install my apps on the new drive without having to pay another subscription

    As the title of the discussion. I will replace my hard drive on my laptop to improve performance, which means reinstall my Photoshop/Lightroom and Bridge apps. How can I go about it without having to pay another fee to subscriptio?

    Simply install them again.  You are allowed two active installations at the same time.  If you have already used, the installation process will tell you that and whether to disable one of the facilities as soon as possible.  Say Yes.  If you have not installed on a desktop as well, then open Photoshop on this system.  If it has been disabled, tell it to disable a previous installation, as you did with the laptop, and you should be OK from there.

  • How to specify the file of virtual hard disk when you create a new virtual machine using virtual hard disk on the data store?

    I'm new to PowerCLI and find quite simple, but in the documentation I read, I don't see how to use a virtual hard drive, existing on a data store when you create a new virtual machine.

    Is this simple registration on the virtual hard disk, or did I miss something?

    My current create VM is the following statement:

    New-VM

    -Name $TargetHostName -host $TargetVMCenterHost -data store $TargetVMCenterDatastore DiskMB - 20000 -MemoryMB $TargetHostMemoryMB -NumCPU $TargetHostCPUs -ID $TargetHostOS -CD -Description $TargetHostName

    Didn't notice this before, but I think that vSphere will use a backslash instead of a slash in the paths.

  • My Hard disk drive (C) is full and can not save on my local drive (D)... Help!

    I can't save anything else on my computer and I feel as if I had barely whether registered here initially. My (C) drive is almost full and my local disk drive (D) has so much space to this topic, but I don't know how to do as my default player. I tried following the suggestions of the people online, but nothing helped. Can anyone help?

    The first thing to do is run the disk cleanup utility. Instructions here.

    Then, try to move some files and folders. There are a few different folders, you can move from the C drive to the D drive. So let me suggest you only start moving your files, documents, music, photos and video from C to d. here are the instructions. You need to do one at a time. To find them, in Solution Explorer, expand the C drive, find your name under users and all your personal files are there.

    After these two things, tell me how much space you have on C.
