New computer without OS. Have Win98 OEM, upgrade XP Home Edition, and upgrade Vista Home Premium software.
I entered the confusion there is trying to install the software above in the obviously logical order of about 18 months.
I was puzzled by the comment of the information for the purpose (I don't remember exactly) that Vista could not be installed because its ranking system is different from XP.
I "solved" the problem by buying the full version of Windows 7.
Is there a way I could have installed upgrading Vista - IE an upgrade of an upgrade?
I ask because I do the same thing again.
I don't know which comment you are referring to-XP and Vista can use the same file systems (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS).
Windows 98 won't probably install or run on a new computer. Here's how you might have used the upgrade of Vista:
- Start from the family XP Edition upgrade disk.
- When the installation process asks you a qualifying version of Windows, insert the Windows 98 CD.
- Once the installation is complete, start Windows XP.
- Insert the Windows Vista upgrade disk and do the upgrade.

I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost? If yes how can I do this? Some people reported issues license keys and it cannot be registered once in a PC.
Thank you
It is the major limitation of the OEM software that it can be installed on a PC. The COA label will confirm whether the license is OEM. A number of elements can be replaced in a PC in the way of repair, but only if exactly the same model of Council can this be exchanged.
Even if you transfer the drive to the new PC would not authenticate because of the change of equipment, and it would be unlikely to to re-authenticate online.
If the label is not OEM and you have a retail package, so it can be transferred.

Here is a download link:

As John says, when you go to activate it on the new computer, if you don't have the old version installed, will give you the opportunity to identify the old version and provide its serial number as proof that you are eligible using the improved version.

I bought Lightroom 5 of B & H Photo a few months ago and since then have now upgraded computers. This new computer doesn't have a hard drive and I can't figure out how to download it on my new computer. I must not have created an Adobe account when I initially purchased and downloaded on my other computer. How can I still download it if the serial number does not appear in my plans and products page? I still have the drive and everything that came with it.
Hello
Please download the Lightroom 5 application from the link below.

my computer with windows broken and now my new computer does not have windows, is it possible to get windows on my new computer from my old?
Hello
You tell us what type of license you have.
If the former was preinstalled, NO, you cannot transfer it.
Read this information:
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.

my new macbook pro was stolen. I had to buy a new computer and I need to re - install lightroom. is there a way for adobe to allow me to install lightroom on my new computer without having to buy it?
Thank you.
You probably have the trial installed creative Cloud version (this version cannot be activated with the perpetual license key). Uninstall the one currently on your computer this will not affect your existing catalog, preferences and other personal files. Then download LR 5.6 from the link below, install that insert your serial number and it should work fine.

I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer. All new computers come with Windows 7. Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)? I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back. AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it. I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years. I would like to use XP on a new computer! I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer. Thank you very much!
Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.
If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.
Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.
