Is it legal to share Microsoft windows free online? (Not on the installation files serial key of only)?

Hey... I think to make a site where people can download free operating system software.
as Microsoft windows, linux and a few other BONES.
I will only include the installation files (like, files in windows OEM dvd). I will not download any series or a crack for activation key.

Like, I'll be including links to download windows 7 of digitalriver.net and a few other links available online.

So I want to ask that is there any violation of the terms and conditions by microsoft, or even I do something illegal and can be any action taken on me.

Help, please!

Hi, Manpreet_Singh11,

Software piracy is the mislicensing, unauthorized reproduction and illegal distribution of software, whether for business or personal use.

Pirated software makes wrong everyone

developers of software for retail store owners and, finally, to all the users of software. In addition, the illegal duplication and distribution of software has a significant impact on the economy.

  • Error message Microsoft Word "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk. »

    I have a MacBook Pro, retina 13inch OS X el Capitan Version 10.11.1 with 16 GB of memory. It's brand new and I have recently installed Microsoft Word/Powerpoint etc. a disc that I bought a few years to my previous MacBook. It seems to work very well, but whenever I want to open a word document a message comes up saying "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk '. However, once I click 'OK' this message disappears and my word file opens without a problem. I have 16 GB of memory on this laptop and it's new I have not reached anywhere near the maximum amount of storage so I'm puzzled as to what this message means. How can I avoid that this message popping up everytime I open Microsoft Word? Any help would be appreciated!

    This has nothing to do with memory - it's the SSD. Word tries to create a temporary file to use as a backup if the program crashes while you are working. First, run the Microsoft Update program to see if there are updates you have missed. Second, Microsoft currently supports only versions 2011 and 2016, so if yours is older, you should consider the upgrade. Thirdly, I suspect that the temporary file is not get created so that you have fewer cancellations (maybe any) and that if the program crashes you have to restore.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize the installation discs

    Hello

    I have a problem, and I don't know if there is a solution, but here goes.

    My laptop is a HP DV6-7029WM Windows 7, 64 bit.

    The hard drive was dead, and he was replaced last month.  I sent it to HP.  C is the hard drive, and was originally the recovery on D. Removable media were on E, and when I connected a USB stick or memory card reader it would on F.

    When I came back, hard drive was on C as it was originally, and there was no recovery drive D. D is now my removable media drive. When I put in a USB stick or a memory card reader, which is now on the E drive.

    After I bought this, I put the recovery on a USB key, but I've accidentally thrown out. (My mistake) So I ordered the installation diskettes after that I return my HP PC.  I had 2 DVD system recovery disks and an Application and a recovery DVD Drivery.

    I want to reinstall Windows back to the default settings. I put disc 1 (System Recovery DVD) and close.  I reboot and it goes directly to the office. I hear the whirring disc, but nothing happens.

    I go to the control panel > Recovery > advanced retrieval methods. I click on restart, and it loads files and then says DVD set, which I do. He told me that he does not recognize the installation disc.

    I googled this problem and found a poster on CNET that had the same problem as I do. Also, I can't do a system restore.  My problem is the same as this poster on CNET.  I can read DVDs and CDs.  Those that work very well.

    http://forums.CNET.com/7723-19411_102-568059/Windows-7-installation-disc-not-recognized/

    The files are on the DVD, because I see them.

    I don't know what to do. Should I send my PC back? Can I do to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello:

    With recovery disc 1 into the DVD drive, restart the computer and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the ESC key to display a menu of options.

    Select the F9 boot menu option.

    Select the DVD drive on the list of bootable devices, and press the Enter key.

    Additional info by Christmas D Paton

    For MSDN keys: -.

    MS cannot act until a key hit a threshold (they won't say an outsider that this threshold is, of course). They then put it in the internal systems to ensure that all stakeholders are informed, just in case it was an oversight - then it gets into the queue for the next update of the system. I don't know how many times WAT control system is updated, but I guess that it is not more than once a week because of the admin and synchronization issues. The internal processes of MS could easily take a couple of weeks.

    It therefore depends on how near the end of a list of vendors in sale you are and how much time he sells them.

    Those cannier sell just enough to stay under the threshold of each product (subs MSDN include a large number of products), until they have maximized profits, then try and flood the market before disappearing into the sunset, responsible for your money. It can take anything up to a year or more.

  • Windows 7 will not run the exe files correctly.

    I tried to open a file with Notepad as I thought Notepad was the right program to open it. I used the "open with" prompt and select Notepad. It did not open, but immediately after, all single exe files had a picture of Notepad open with notepad and say various gibberish.

    After that, I managed to get on chrome right on the PIN I had attached to the taskbar, and then selecting an of my favorites.

    I looked for solutions and tried two different solutions so far, regedit solution and the Fix It solution.

    Later, I thought that maybe adobe would be able to run exe files, he then began to show an image of the software adobe reader on exe files.

    Now, every time I try to open an exe it lands open adobe reader and sitting there without understanding.

    I have restart after trying all the solutions and am now at my wits end to know what to do.

    .exe, .lnk and other types should not be associated with any program. If you're wrong them associated with a program, it always opens that particular program with the file name as argument. You can reset the UserChoice registry key for this file type. Check:

  • Where windows 8 do not store the azw files?

    I bought an amazon kindle book. I can find the book in the kindle app in windows 8, but I can't find the file real .azw on my computer. I ran a search and no luck. What I am doing wrong.

    Thank you

    Niall Stewart

    I too use Calibre and Windows 8. The Kindle app for win 8, I do not. What I've done, it's just to download Kindle for PC version XP, Vista and Windows 7. In this way, I get my 'Kindle' content and can then move files in Calibre. ;) It will download ALL your books if you tell it to Sync. The best way to avoid what is go to kindle store books in the clouds, switch to view most recent list, then click on this book. It will download the file. The first time that it will be longer, but after that, it will be a breeze!  I hope this helps. :)

    I hate to say it, but it would be a great time for a bigger hard drive.  While 40 GB meets at least for installation you really need more for in-place-upgrading a system using 37 GB.  Setup needs space for temporary files, its own temporary relocation, etc.

    Network adapters: Microsoft Windows Mobile remote adapter causes the Windows 7 upgrade to fail.

    I did everything to prepare for the upgrade. The Upgrade Advisor says it all right. But I get the message that this network adapter is a problem. It does not appear in device menager even under hidden objects, so I can't uninstall or update.

    It is obviously a problem for more than two years. Why is there not a difficulty now, or at least a well validated response that meets this situation rather than simply repeat the statement to execute the Advisor (done) or update the driver (which is impossible because the card network can not be found)?

    Hello

    You can try these:

    Step 1:

    a. click the Start button.

    (b) in the search box type devmgmt.msc and then press ENTER.

    c. find under the "Mobile Devices" "Microsoft USB Sync" node. If this is not present, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, right click "Microsoft USB Sync" and choose "Uninstall".

    When you connect your USB phone, it should appear in the device under Mobile Device Manager. Education invites you to look out there and if you find Microsoft USB Sync, uninstall it. If she is not there, go to the next step.

    Step 2:

    Disconnect, and then reconnect your device. Your device driver will be re - install and launch Windows Mobile Device Center.
