my pc is Windows xp. but I up grade to windows7 and I want to register with microsoft. can I use the same disc if I reboot my pc?

help me with this plese...

It is not clear what you're asking. Next time please put your question - with enough detail to be clear - in the body of the message, not on the subject line.

I interpret your message to mean:

1. you have a computer with Windows XP.
2. you're going to buy a Windows 7 upgrade, using the Windows XP install like materials for upgrading qualification.
3. you want to know if you can use the Windows XP license on another computer.

If I interpreted your message correctly, the answer is 'no '. The Windows XP license is subsumed under the license of Windows 7 when you use it for an upgrade.

If this wasn't what you meant, please clarify. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    If it worked the first time, there is no reason that it will not work the second time on the same computer, as long as the Windows 7 is a full version.

    If this is an upgrade version, you must have the qualifying OS installed and enabled before you upgrade and it will work.

I try inserting the disk dvd movies and it will play normally. Please give me help with this problem because I want to get my phone to the sound out of the box state. Thank you.

    Hello

    The drive came with the laptop or you did it yourself in the recovery Partition?

    And you're supposed to boot from the recovery disc to start the recovery process.

    You change the Boot order to make the CD/DVD drive first in the boot order. Then, you start from the disc.

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    And as a way to re - install with most of the Toshibas, you press 0 (zero) to start to start the process of recovery back to settings factory (new State) of the recovery Partition.

    See you soon.

    Now, I want to install linux on my machine and use the current windows in a virtual machine inside the linux host. Is is possible if I completely uninstall this windows of my computer and reinstall the virtual machine with the same key?
    I'm not very familiar with this also can someone guide me what are the steps I have to take if this is possible.

    Hi Andre,

    Thank you for your answer, but this does not completely answer my question. I also read that OEM installation does not install the same windows on another machine (virtual machine is like different machine even if I do this on the same machine) and installation of the mine is OEM type.

    More important still, how install windows in the virtual environment? If I format the computer and install linux, in addition to this install virualbox and install inside windows that use the cd - key and it will work. ? I doubt it because the windows is already activated in this machine.

    The extract of the contract (EULA) for Windows 7 and applies to the retail and OEM of Windows 7 versions. So, Yes, you can reinstall it in a Virtual Machine.

    Yes, you will need to format the machine under Linux, then reinstall Windows 7 in a computer program virtual suitable as Oracle Virtual Box 4.2, VMWare Player 5.0 or VMWare Workstation. You can then use the product key located on the COA sticker to reactivate the license.

    Hi w3ur_team,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that there are two features that are documented in the sync account. However the Android is not synchronized.

    There are two places we can check:

    1. In the Android settings, under accounts is the Firefox Sync or Firefox Sync (discouraged) joint account?
    2. Credentials work on accounts.firefox.com on the mobile device and are there any error messages in the synchronization of the settings menu > sync?

  • Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

    Hello

    I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.

    I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

    Thanks for any help.

    The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

    Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

    Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

    It makes you, thank you.

  • HP envy 14-2090eo: can I use the same drivers for windows 8 and 8.1

    When I check in drivers which operating systems there are drivers available for my Hp Envy 14-2090eo, it says Windows 8 (64-bit) and Windows 7 (64-bit), "and im currently using Windows 7 64 bit" but does that mean the drivers to support these 2 Windows 8 and 8.1 of Windows operating systems, said in a different way "» : are the same drivers for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1?

    Best regards from hpenvy1

    Hello:

    Your model has the AMD/Intel switchable graphics.

    It is unlikely that the W8 AMD graphics driver will work on W8.1.

    Normally, you can use some of the drivers W7/W8 on W8.1, but the graphics is very doubtful - not switchable graphics anyway.

    You can run the windows 8.1 upgrade wizard and see what it reports.
