Install Windows 7 from one computer to another
Hi all
I got this question I was not able to find an answer yet and I wonder if anyone of you could help me out here.
I had a laptop that I use for work, which has Windows 7 Ultimate and a lot of software and personal files, I need. I recently bought a new more powerful laptop that will replace the one I use at the moment.
My question is,
Can I do a full to the top of the computer that I use and put it on the new computer, I will get? And then update the laptop with its own pilots?
Is worth it to do a cleaning installation at all instead?
Is it possible to transfer files and software from one machine to another using some sort of tool such as that used for XP to 7 or Vista to 7? Do we not have a Win 7 for Win 7 one?
Thank you
Sam
Hi sam,
You can take a full backup of the data on your computer and transfer it to the new computer, but for the application, you need to install a new copy of the same thing.
You can even use transfer Windows-a tool that helps you transfer files and settings from one computer to the other. But as you mentioned that you transfer to a powerful computer hardware and software conflict may appear, if you have a full backup you can perform a clean installation.

Can I transfer Windows XP from one computer to another
I have a laptop with windows XP, when I tried to update, it tells me that the software is not genuine... I got this computer in gift :) but:(pour le dérangement...) Well, one of my friends has a non-functional computer with XP genuine, my question is, can I move it to my laptop? Someone told me is possible, but I need to appeal to Microsoft Corporation...
Thanks for your replies
If your laptop has a version of Windows OEM, it cannot be moved to another computer. If a product is 'Full' of the Retail version and assumnig you have a valid product key, then Yes you can move. Retail 'Upgrade' version requires CD (which you own) of Windows 98 or ME, to complete the upgrade.

Windows upgrade from one computer to another
We have improved our laptop to win 10 can I use win 7 form my other computer I have xp on which is the key to windows laptop win 7
Because Windows 7 has been used as an eligible basic license to qualify for the free upgrade to Windows 10, you can not transfer. This is especially true if the license of Windows 7 is pre-installed on this laptop.
If you want to upgrade your Windows XP laptop to Windows 7, you will need to purchase a license of Windows 7.
Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.
You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

How can I set up for printing to Adobe
So far, it is not necessary for a person no-tech.
If you have a normal single-user license or subscription, you are allowed to have two active facilities as long as you use only one of them for the software at the same time. You can disable and re-enable them if necessary to install on another machine.

What is the process of moving my Creative Suite from one computer to another?
What is the process of moving my Creative Suite from one computer to another? What do I need to uninstall completely from a computer until I can install it on another computer? I have a real CD not a download.
Do not attempt to move anything from one machine to the other. Just use the disk and the serial number, you will need to install on the new machine. You are allowed to have two facilities enabled, so you can keep the original as a backup, if you prefer. If not, the minimum you need to do is to disable the original in order to free activation for another use (open the program and choose Help-> Deactivate)
