License transfer Vista OS from the old to new PC

I have a retail version of Windows Vista. I installed it on a computer a few years ago, and since then, this computer now has Windows 7 installed on it. I want to install the operating system Windows Vista on a new computer, I'll buy. I assume that the license of Vista is always related to Windows 7 PC. How to get the Vista license transferred from the old PC to the new PC?

If you did a clean install of Windows 7 on the old computer, you can still use your Windows Vista on a new.

Trying to activate it online first.

If this does not work, use the phone activation. Just explain to the officer that you need to transfer your Windows Vista on a new computer.

  • reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

    We have 4 old desktop computers with windows xp I want to reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

    I bought a HP desktop computer and dell preinstalled with Windows XP. The office has not worked for a few years, he has the processor are P4 and slow work.

    I recently bought a desktop computer and wanted to know can I use the same license key to get Windows XP installed on my new desktop computer.

    Note: I have lost my original installation of windows CD but have the office and Windows XP product code is available to me.

    The old HP desktop and dell came with a license with the sticker on the side.

    Any PC which came with a sticker with a key to activate product on it has a license that is related to this PC (and only this PC) for ever. It is not legal to install on a PC using the key videos from another PC.

    If the PC you want to install XP on still has its sticker, then as much as you have a compatible installation XP CD, XP can be re-installed using the key on the sticker.

    Only commercial versions of XP can be moved from one PC to another. With the commercial versions, the activation key came with the media, not on a label stuck on the PC.

  • Transfer of files from the old PC to new PC?

    Hello

    I am trying to transfer my profile of an old HP ProBook s 4430 to a Dell desktop all in one computer

    How can I do this? I'm sick of this slow computer! Help, please.

    Thank you in advance.

    Easy Transfer is correct.

    Easy transfer is a facility built into Windows 7, designed to transfer your data AND settings from the old to new PC.

    You will need an external USB hard drive.  Hook it up and get it recognized by the old system.

    Click on the starting planet

    Simple type in the text box that appears

    Select and click Easy transfer

    From there, it is easy to follow.

    It creates a large file with everything what it.  Works like a charm.  I use it all the time and have for years.  Also works for the passage to a new hard drive.  It will take a while on the OLD computer, but it's walk and come back later thing.  Works much faster on the new.  Helps a lot if you use your USB 3 port and that you have an external hard drive that supports USB3.

  • Transfer of files from the old HARD DRIVE to new computer without an old computer. (He's dead - can not use) I have the hard drive, but need help to transfer my old files and settings.

    ·        My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)

    I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.

    Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.

    You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.

    This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.

    Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_b

    You need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.

  • My computer crashed, but I managed to save my files. How can I transfer my bookmarks from the old Firefox browser and install it on the new computer? I can't find the bookmark file in the old browser.

    I'm transferring my files to an HP laptop to a Dell because the crushed HP desktop computer. I installed Firefox 8 in the Dell computer (I got the Firefox 5 - I believe - in the HP). I'm looking for the old bookmarks file in the old computer, but I can't find them. Where are they? I'll appreciate your help because I had a very good collection of bookmarks. Unfortunately I didn't save them from time to time.

    Well, you were able to recover your files. I don't know where you have saved your files, but you can use the search function and search your favorites using this search term "bookmark *.» *«. It should be very probably a JSON extension file.

    Once you find the file, use this link to help restore backups.

    I hope this helps.

  • Documents transferred from the old to new using a flash drive. Here, the documents but scrambled - help

    I was on this site before and learned the file transfer Wizard.  Did not work.  So we went to the flash player.  The documents are there, but when you try to open them, they are truncated.  How can I get these documents readable.

    Both are windows XP, old is Service pack 2, Service Pack 3 is new, and I have Microsoft works.

    I gather from your rather terse comments that you copied the files to a computer on a flash drive and then copied to another computer.  Did you use backup software to copy the files to the flash drive, or did you just use Windows Explorer (or select--> copy--> paste or drag and drop)?

    What application (including version) has been used to create the files and what application (including version) are you using to try to open the files?

    What is the file extension of the files (3 or 4 characters after the point)?

  • Windows mobile 8 from the old to the new laptop / desktop

    Hello

    I plan to buy a new laptop/desktop computer. My current laptop HP G6 2301ax supplied with windows pre-installed 8.

    Now, is it possible to move windows 8 from the old to new hardware?

    If so, please suggest how.

    Thank you

    Suraj

    Hello

    You can't do it.

    It is what explains why:

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
