legal aspects on reinstalling xp on several laptops to renovate and sell

I have a friend who is planning to buy laptop computers if the Government used, hard disks are cleaned and he asked me about the installation of xp pro on them.  I don't know if the license key is always on them or is still legible. I need to know what should I do to install and have licenses for about 80 laptops.

Ask your friend to find out if their license the Government Office. Ask if the computers have copies (pre-installed) OEM of Windows or did get Windows through Volume Licensing.

Windows XP is no longer marketed by Microsoft. If you really prefer this OS, try looking in the retail stores, and you can be lucky.

I also suggest to visit this site for more information on OEM System Builder licenses: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/sblicensing/Pages/index.aspx

  • Several laptops, external wireless and Time Machine

    I have three MacBooks, I want to connect it to Time Machine, but getting three external wired systems is not going to work. In my family, no one sits in a single place that would connect to a device.

    I've been watching based cloud like Backblaze subscription services, but a subscription for three machines is more expensive, then buy an external wireless that we can share. (Plus, I like and want, the time Machine interface, and Backblaze doesn't only.)

    He who stands by me and was recommended by a friend is 'My cloud.' Western Digital

    However, I'm trying to find out if I have three machines use a single external for three different instances of Time Machine. My first thought was that I could divide a disk into three partitions of 1 to 3 TB, but I called their customer service and they said that partitioning would not work. However, I can create three separate 'folders' that work with the separate MacBook. I didn't think it was possible. When I used TM in the past, and I use it connected to a G5 tower, he formatted the drive especially for the backup. And I have not found any instructions on the use of sections of a player.

    Before that I have to spend money, I wanted to make sure that it is possible to what they describe.

    You can bind Time Machine in specific folders on an external?

    If someone has a different suggestion, which would be also welcome.

    Thank you.

    You can bind Time Machine in specific folders on an external?

    Yes. I save 2 computers in a time Capsule that is not partitioned.

    Apple officially supports the time Capsules for network backups. If you look in the section updated the Apple store, you can get one for a reduced price with the same warranty as a new one. After trying a few other brands for the backup of network backups, I went to all the time Capsules and in my experience, they work.

    My request is: how to install Windows 7?

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • How can I reinstall vista on my laptop without a disc.

    How can I reinstall vista on my laptop without a disc. I have an acer aspire 4520 and INF files are missing, umbrella I don't have a disk to reinstall. without these files, I can't update any driver...

    Hello

    You can reinstall vista without a drive on an Acer if you never received a disc when you bought

    try to press Alt + F10 at the Acer splash screen after power on to start the relocation process

    Here are the different ways to reinstall vista;

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    I am trying to reinstall vista on another laptop and when I get to the last step (end Installation...) it stops, about 70% of the way through.  Now what? I tried to repeat the process about 6 times now!

    Sorry for the confusion.  I must be useless to English.

    Forget the two laptops.
    I have a problem with a laptop that I tell you all (the Inspiron 1720).
    The disc that I use is labeled as a Windows Vista reinstall disk and provided with the computer when I bought it.  I'm not trying to use it on another computer.

    Reference Dell it is a problem with a process of recovery of Windows and, therefore, a problem of Microsoft.

    See you soon

    Problems with the Dell restore process, contact Dell.
    Dell wrote their recovery process and provided you with this DVD, NOT Microsoft...

    It is their software.

    Ask them for a different recovery DVDs.

    You say that the hard drive has failed.

    He could have more than just tough that failed.
    You can have other hardware issues.

    Hardware issues are beyond the scope of these Forums.

    Good luck with Dell.

  • My laptop was stolen and I want to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop repalcement

    Hello

    When I bought my Dell E6400 downgrade 3 years ago, it came with Vista Pro and XP Pro. But soon after that Windows 7 is out, I bought the ultimate version to upgrade my experience.

    Last week, my laptop was stolen and I'm about to buy a laptop replacement, but almost none noticed come with Ultimate.

    You can disable or update my old Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop to get barr? (I understand, it is impossible to find the laptop, which is a shame considering Mac have this feature).

    So, how I'll be able to reinstall my old Windows 7 & on my new laptop? Do you issue me with a new license key?

    Thanks in advance

    Andrew

    You cannot reinstall your Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade because you have lost the software, it can be upgraded. You should look at your insurance coverage, assuming he was insured and claim the cost of the upgrade to Windows 7 as part of your loss.

    Your ideas on disabling are a chimera. This will never happen.

    Creative cloud does not use a serial number and creative cloud subscribers for not having any serial number associated with their programs.  Creative cloud subscribers use their adobe ID to activate their programs.

    Download and install the desktop creative cloud application (after signing with your adobe - the same as that used to pay for your creative cloud subscription ID), https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud

    Open the office application (a shortcut will be on your desktop) > click applications, and then select the programs you want to install.

    the desktop application gives you access to the cs6, cc, cc 2014 and cc 2015 apps.  and probably more in the future.
