Install Windows 7 on a new machine

I'll throw my old PC I installed Windows 7 on. I have a laptop that I would like to install the Windows 7 disc, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to use the product key, as I already used it on my original machine.

Any help would be appreciated.

So would I need to disable the function on the old computer (if such a thing is possible) as my understanding was that it is a matter "a computer license"?

It's a commercial version full btw.

Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

You can only use one key on a single computer at a time. If a key is used on two computers and they will be marked later.

  • Installation of Windows 7 on 3 new Machines

    I have a windows family pack 7 (3 licenses). I'm upgrading of equipment for all three machines and install windows 7 on 3 new machines.  The old machines were wiped and formatted.  My question is can I use the 3 licenses of the machines formatted or need some type of reset so that my 3 new installations will be seen as authentic

    The Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack Upgrade 3 PCs is an upgrade license.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  • Re-install Windows 7 on a new PC

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium version installed on my laptop (which is about 8 years old). I configured a new laptop and trying to install Windows 7 on the new machine with the license that I bought earlier. I can't activate the license and I guess that's because the license is always associated with my old laptop. Is it possible that I can separate my Windows 7 license from the old laptop and assign it by the new?

    Thanks & best regards.

  • I installed windows 2000 on a virtual machine on a different computer than windows xp.

    I installed Windows 2000 on a virtual machine to another Windows XP computer. I'm under the it on my new computer with Windows xp. I get the icon in the bar lower right spots showing an internet connection but no Internet Explorer or Firefox will have access to the internet? In the Device Manager on Windows 2000, it shows a map network intel but on the computer Windows Xp host computer and in the "settings" on the Windows 2000 installation it shows my Realtek card. Is the adapter intel a virtual card? I tried to uninstall the Intel card and then install the Realtek but Windows 2000 installation does not see the Realtek card. On a restart, the Intel card is reinstalled.
    Am I a fight lost because I did the first Windows 2000 install on another computer in Windows XP?

    I changed the old hard drive (500 GB) with a new hard dirve (1 Tera) and now I have two problems:-

    1. how to install Windows 7 on a new hard drive?

    2. my laptop came preinstalled Windows 7 Pro, but all the DVD kit (disk reclaimer Application & discs) + Revocer operating system, which has been provided (by Lenovo) for the laptop is in the Windows 8 Pro. So, how to install Windows 7 Pro, my laptop while all the DVD sets are in Windows 8 Pro?

    either way, this is my laptop spec (for reference); -

    * Note *.
    I intend to install Windows 7 Pro on my new hard drive using another DVD of Windows 7 (not DVD provided by Lenovo), but how do all Leveno program located in the disk 'Application & recuperator readers' (by example; - Lenovo system health and Diagnostics, Lenovo Power Control, Lenovo Fingerprint Reader) to install this hard drive?

    Thank you

    I found the solution.

    Response to question 1; using a recovery & backup software to clone my current operating system, and then transfer them to my new hard drive.

    Response to question 2; Download all drivers and software (all the application that located on the DVD of the kit I have) on the official website of Lenovo.

    or another solution, send to a computer service shop and let the experts (workers) install it for me (the most simple and sure way).

    Hello

    No there is no way, how the do, because the license of Windows Vista is part of the computer compaq laptop - this is the license OEM - and cannot be separated.

    (in case the laptop is broken and cannot be repaired, then the license expiresand cannot be used on another computer)
