• Installation of Windows XP on a new PC with a separate hard drive

  I heard many different answers from others to do what I want to do.  Finally, my old PC crashed on me, so I recently built a new PC that is out of date.  I had Windows XP and now Windows7, but for some programs that I want to use XP and this is why I am looking for an extra hard drive to run my XP and of course boot and when I want to.  The thing I heard between 2 different people, that brings me here to find out for myself.  Told that "your code of disk and windows activation is saved with your motherboard you had on your old PC and so it will not recognize it for your new.  The other person has said "if I'm not mistaken they allow the transfer up to 3 different PC with your windows disk.  My question is that I am able to install and activate my Windows XP on my new PC and if so how many different PC can I install my windowsXP on before that I have to buy a new disc?

  Hello

  If your XP is preinstalled on the old computer (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or if you have an OEM System Builder License, it is an OEM license.

  An OEM license is not transferable and is related to the first computer that is installed on the license dies when the computer dies.

  Without reinstall on another computer or activation is allowed.

  If you had a license to retail sales of XP that you have purchased and installed yourself on the old computer, it is transferable.

  The only condition is that a retail license can be installed on a single computer at a time.

  One license is for a single installation.

  And I suggest that you ask in the Windows 7 Forums on the installation of compatible XP programs in Windows 7.

• 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.

  Hey Bill,.

  Windows 7 can be installed on most recent business PCs. There are some requirements and parameters, as you should be aware.

  • First of all, you can not install Windows 7 on a computer with a 7th generation of processor.
  • You must change the version of the TPM secure on the PC or install a fix from Microsoft.
  • You must use the legacy (non-UEFI) mode in the BIOS.
  • You need your own copy of Windows 7 and a license for Windows Professional 10.

• Installation of Windows 7 in a new hard drive

  Hello

  I would like to replace my hard drive with an SSD laptops.

  I have burned DVD that were made when I started my computer.

  Can I install WIndows on the new hard drive with the CD? If not, how can I get a copy of windows for my new hard drive?

  Thank you very much

  Luis

  Hi, Luis:

  Unless the SSD is about the same size as the mechanical hard disk, that you deleted (probably not), your recovery disks will not work.

  You will get an error.

  I have a solution for you...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Also, if there is a folder named SWSetup on your hard drive C:\, copy off the coast and he should have subfolders that have most of the driver and Setup files supplied with your laptop (except Office Starter 2010).

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• installation of windows 7 to a new laptop having windows 10

  I bought a new laptop Lenovo that comes with 10 windows, I want to get rid of 10 and install windows 7, how to do this?

  You can seriously improve performance on an installation of lower plant with the integrity checklist install Windows 10 .

  Otherwise, you will need to purchase a license of Windows 7 to Clean install Windows 7

  But if you go for it - which involves tracking down (or purchase on Amazon) the Windows 7 installation media that is no longer available - then you might as well Create Installation Windows 10 support to the vastly superior Clean install Windows Upgrade 10 with the license for 10 you already have on your PC.  Nobody who has done the clean install has no complaints, and 10 is a much better than Windows 7 operating system.

• During the installation of windows 7 Ultimate (a new copy) on my desk, it's too long to answer while she will say pilot missing. I have a lot of stress from this problem. What should I do?

  (it says no driver found. Click on load a driver to provide a driver for installing mass storage)

  If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

• Installation of Windows XP on a second disk hard SATA and booting from it.

  History:
  I have a two year old computer and it becomes slow to start.  Its a P4 dual core 2.8GHz with 3 GB of RAM and a hard drive SATA 320 G, that left only 60 GB.  I tried to uncheck all unnecessary items at startup using msconfig, but its still quite slow.

  Proposed solution:
  I bought a new HDD SATA of 500G and I thought performing a new installation of Windows XP on the new drive and boot from that.  I want to leave the old disk, as is if I can still access the programs and files that I have on this subject. That said, I will migrate probably all programs and regularly used files on the old drive on a new and let all my media files on the former.  I don't want to copy all just above (picture disc) because it will bring all the junk with her.

  I backed up my important data to an external drive.

  Issues related to the:
  Is there a problem to have windows XP on both drives?  Will I need to do anything to access my old programs on the start menu in a "new window" - what do I have to reinstall or can I just copy them into folder "program files" the new windows?  What is a reasonable way to speed up my machine?

  Thank you very much for your answers.

  You want to move the old SATA disk to controller 1 (although leave of you for now disconnect) and put the new drive on controller 0 and then install XP. Then set the old drive to the secondary SATA controller. You will need to install programs on the new drive; You may not copy or use the old disk. To stay in compliance with the EULA and activate the new XP successfully, you need to remove the old XP and just use the old disk to store data. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Installation of Windows 7 Professional on Dimension 8300

  Can someone tell me if I can load a new unused 32 bit OEM Full Version of Windows 7 Professional on a Dell Dimension 8300?  I'm looking at this version because it allows me to save a lot of $$.  I bought all the other updates required for memory, hard drive, sound card and graphics on this computer at Dell.  The operating system would be the only feature that would not be purchased from Dell.  I would also like to know what happens when I change the original hard drive.  I'm losing the info on this old drive when disconnected?  I was wondering if I can put it back in if I have problems with the installation of Windows 7 on the new hard drive.  I did a full backup of the old hard drive.

  Another thing, Dell support didn't warn me hardware virtualization that is not on this computer processor, so I think I have a few problems with the help of some of my old XP software.  Apparently you need virtualization in Windows 7 XP mode.  It's a big problem for me because most of the software I have bought is for XP.  What happened to backward compatible programs that meet the needs of all.  Guess I'll have to take that with Microsoft.

  It's been almost 2 years since this was posted.  For the record: I installed Windows 7 Professional (purchased at Microsoft) and the OS works fine on Dell 8300.  Made all of the changes recommended before installation, the disk (500 GB), sound card, graphics card, etc.  System worked without problem for 2 years and just about everything that I need to work that has been installed with Windows XP works!  Now, I'm trying to figure out if I can install a map update for USB 3.  Hope that this thread will help others who have kept their old system.  I think that the Dimension 8300 has been one of the few product really Dell computers that can be updated.  More big limits can be the IBM processor and motherboard.  By the way Dell initially told me that this computer will not work with Windows 7.

• Impossible to reinstall Windows 7 on a new hard drive

  First off apologies if this has been answered recently, I spent the 2 days on this problem and the promise that I searched and google til my fingers bleed. Basically, the situation is as follows:

  -The PC tells me HDD is faulty on my Studio XPS 8000

  -J' I buy the new HDD, then get out of the old and install new

  -Position the disc of the PC operating system, get up to where I can click on install to start the installation of Windows 7 on the new drive

  -However he says there is no device driver on the disk, I put in the drivers and Utilities disc, (which came with the PC) but still no driver of the device, even if it says disk they appear thereon

  -Back to the old drive and try to make the system recovery disk - try to use USB flash drive but is not recognized, so buy dvdr discs and go through initialization and then it begins to collect files, but on many tests is not go beyond 25% full, let alone engraving on the startup disk.

  -Dell Datasafe Local Backup to uninstall and reinstall but the continuous PC to freeze at "25% collection files.

  So, what can I do, because my warranty is over? All I have to do is install my copy already purchased WIndows 7 on my new hard drive already bought, but I'm stumped at this point. Thanks for any help of cutting-edge :)

  Oh... PS. -I am in England so I don't think I can send away from the backup disks, even if the expiry of the guarantee is not a problem.

  Follow the Windows reinstallation Guide / A clean installation of Windows 7:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/

  The part you get stuck on is step 6, preparation of step 8 and SATA drivers loaded during the installation of Windows.

  Note that I recommend using a .iso of Digital River, which will be the installation of more up-to-date media and the use of Activation and recovery of backup for the activation of the product. Follow the step 2 (using the files at the bottom) and stage 11 b for activation of the product. It is an unofficial solution but works very well.

  You can of course try to call Support technique Dell and request a Dell Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 DVD of resettlement.

• Installation of Windows 7 - error SSHD

  Hi all

  I tried to install windows 7 on my new sshd (seagate 1 TB 5400 RPM sshd), as my old hard drive died. However on the installation procedures, after that the sshd is partitioned, windows is unable to complete the installation. I heard that the error lies in the version of windows being installed. I'm sure I'm installing Windows7 Home Premium, without SP1. For installation of windows 7 on the new SSHD must be the SP1 with her. Is there a way I could get SP1 without having to pay another $100 for another copy of windows, when it's free? I have my product key and everything here.

  Any help will be appreciated!
