• A computer repair shop can install windows on someones computer off a 'set of generic disks' if the computer has the right to this type of windows via a PIN single/code/serialnumber?

  A few years back, I took a computer to a repair shop and had not the discs, the repair guy said that they could legally restore the computer and load it on a wide a copy of a random/generic windows (the same computer had the right of)

  is it legitimate?

  Seems like it would be, I mean if the computer has the right to this title, but I don't know if you're telling me.

  Thank you

  If the Windows license is an OEM license (ie. the computer was purchased from a company like Dell, HP, etc. with pre-installed Windows), then the license is bound to the machine.  Each manufacturer has a way to check their OEM license is valid.  One method is for the manufacturer to place a code in the BIOS of the motherboard that validates the copy of XP, when installed with a floppy disk to install from the same manufacturer.  So it should be perfectly legitimate to restore license OEM to the originating from a floppy to install OEM computer.

• Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

  Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

  Original title: IP address

  Hi John,.

  Please go to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  IP (Internet Protocol) address for the other two computer cannot be the same.

  Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are required for each device that connects to the Internet. Them are a common shared resource that must be managed carefully in order to ensure the continued growth and stability of the Internet. Most of the Internet is currently treated with IP version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 addresses are also in use, but not yet to the same extent. IPv6 is a newer protocol, offering a much larger than IPv4 address pool

  However, you can try to reset TCP/IP on your computer.

  Check out the link provided and check if the problem persists.

  How to reset the Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)

  Keep us updated on the status of the issue.

  In the case where you face problems more when working with Windows keep us updated on the Community Forum Microsoft.

• I get a popup message on my computer saying that another computer has the same IP address as mine.

  original title: address Ip issues

  What should I do or what it means when a warning is displayed on my laptop saying that this computer has the IP as another device?

  This means that there is another computer/device on your local network with the same IP as your PC. Try to configure your network adapter to use DHCP, or just give it an IP address different yourself... most LANs are minimal and you shouldn't have a hard time to randomly select another IP.

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
