Is it possible to install XP from an old computer is no longer works, to a new computer?
My computer is broken. Can I use the same product key for my new PC or need to buy another product key?
* original title - Activation of Windows *.
Hi albial,
If your copy of XP OEM means it was pre-installed on your old computer, you won't be able to use it on your new computer, because it is related to this specific computer only.
If your copy of XP was a commercial copy full that was purchased, then you can use it on your new computer.
In addition, if you are able to install XP on your new computer, please see the following article on how to enable:

I hope this helps!

I've been tryig to install CS3 with a serial number from my old computer to my new computer windows 7. I have installed and reinstalled and rebooted the computer, takes off firewall and everything I know to do. I was chatting to Adobe several times during the day and nobody seems to be able to help me refocus on my computer. This is the message I get when I put in place: you can only install a single Adobe product at a time. Please fill out the other installation before installing Adobe CS 3. I had a computer specialist to analyze it and try to help me, even the screen sharing and could not understand it. He told me to call Adobe and as you know there is no one to help you live that can be very frustrating when you've spent the day and exhausted all options. I know it worked on my computer and the fact yet but I use is more than one. Can you or someone from Adobe please fix this.
Moving correct Forum.

I got the hard drive from my old computer and am trying to transfer my old files to it, but I'm not sure where to find the old bookmarks files. It would be wonderful if you could also help to recover the history - I was in the habit of keeping a large number of tabs open and simply restore everytime I restarted my computer, so a lot of data was lost when my computer crashed.
Hello
If the backup files are intact, then you would be able to copy the files required in the backup after installing Firefox and it works at least once in the new PC.
You must copy and overwrite the files needed from the old profile folder in the same folder structure in the new profile. Some important files might be places.sqlite who holds the bookmarks and history, the cert8.db that stores personal and other certificates, signons3.txt + signons.sqlite that stores websites registered names to user/passwords etc. To open the profile folder, in Firefox, help (Alt + H) > troubleshooting information > Open the containing folder and the release of Firefox.

new computer how to do everything from my old computer to my new computer
You can transfer files and settings with Windows XP files and the transfer settings Wizard, but you can not transfer the programs installed using any method whatsoever - you will need to reinstall these programs. If your new computer is not Windows XP but Windows 7 then use the program Windows Easy Transfer, included in Windows 7 rather than the files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

I have a computer running windows vista that I'm planning on upgrading to Windows 7. I will be transferring files and settings from my old computer running windows XP SP3. Can I make the transfer to the new computer before upgrade Vista to Windows 7 or should I first, up grade for Win 7, and then do the transfer? I also asked a previous question about the email, I use Outlook Express on the XP machine. What happens to the emails, settings, and contacts once I use Windows Vista and Win 7 easy transfer to the have Outlook Express? The new computer has Outlook 2003 is installed, all the settings will automatically go to this program?
Make the transfer later. Everything you do is do more work for the upgrade. It takes hours as it is. Please use the forums of office for questions by email. Click Office link in the banner at the top of the forum page.

How can I download files to my documents that came from my old computer w/xp. When I insert the CD all that appears is the Roxio program that wants to burn a new CD.

When I insert the CD all that appears is the Roxio program that wants to burn a new CD.Your question is very difficult to understand. First of all, you can not downloadfrom a CD. The word 'download' means to copy a file (perhaps a program)file, but not necessarily) from a server somewhere on the internet atyour own computer. Please do not reverse this word by "install,"which means to load a program on your disk hard drive in a form whereIt can be runGenerally, you install a program from a CD, a floppy disk oron the internet. Only in the latter case, the internet, is there anyDownload in question, but then again, it's a two-step process: firstDownload you it, and then you install it.Second, I don't know what you mean when you say ' files for my.documents '. Please specify what that means.And what CD you insert? Where do you have? Why are youThreading? What do you expect on that?Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows desktop experience) since 2003Ken Blake
