old laptop to new pc Windows key

so.  I have 'not real' 7 atm in my pc. IV been told to go my previous key from my old laptop to it so its true, but I cannot get it to work.  the problem is. This laptop has been home premium, and not the true ultimate. How do I change edition ultimate home premium and get guaranteed that it will work with my last cdkey windows?

The only way you can transfer the license of Windows 7 Home Premium laptop is if it is a retail license. If it is preinstalled on the old laptop, it is non-transferable.

If it's retail, you must perform a custom installation using the installation of Windows 7 Home Premium disc:

For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Original title: Easy Transfer password XP to Windows 7.

    I try to use Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (XP to Windows 7). I didn't have a password on my old computer, but cannot transfer to the new without one. I tried every password I never used (caps on and outside), as well as the code given at the beginning of the Easy Transfer, but nothing works. What can I do? (I use an external hard drive)

    Hello

    If I'm wrong, please let us know why, but my assumptions that are

    • Your old XP machine is usable
    • It still allows to log
    • There is no password required when you don't sign

    So you can try this...

    1. Click Start
    2. Click on Control Panel
    3. Click on user accounts
    4. Give your XP logon password
    5. Restart your XP machine
    6. Try Easy Transfer and him give the password that you set in step 4

  • Pavilion 15-ab043sa: cannot reset to factory settings after the upgrade computer laptop brand new 10 Windows

    I bought 2 new laptops, they seem to be special models not listed is not in the HP support site, purchased from Currys PC World in the United Kingdom.

    First HP Pavilion 15-ab045sa laptop computer 15.6 "-red, upgraded to windows 10 perfectly well and I made a backup of the system while I studied the creation of recovery media (this info must be printed with the laptop in the box, rather than letting the user have to find BTW)."

    The other a HP Pavilion 15-ab043sa laptop computer 15.6 "-blue, for my parents, has turned into a total disaster."

    The two models are the same, except that the first is red and the other is blue, that's why they have different product numbers?

    I was now in a position where the recovery on the D: drive partition is not a factory reset.

    I did not even recovery disks as having the first one to go smoothly, I thought the same thing would happen on the second laptop and I got the recovery disc then.   I tried to create a USB stick recovery, but I had no one who can save the system settings - need at least 32 GB free.

    This occurred as first I started the laptop, made of windows, MS Office 365 updates, added then waiting 2 days for windows 10 to arrive.  When it came it installed fine and then I added a printer driver for an HP printer and made some configurations of the operating system.  At the next reboot showed something was wrong as the boot took over 7 minutes.  As the synaptics app was referenced twice in the tab start Task Manager also had strange things in the system.  Rather than go back to a previous system restore point that I attempted to identify what was wrong and uninstalled all without success.  I then had the opportunity to go back to 8.1 for Windows or "reset the PC.  Not a lot of explanation on delivery to zero and certainly no warning options that the D: partition was no longer valid.  Windows options were "in my face" so I don't think watching HP recovery.  So I chose to run from Control Panel 'Reset the PC and keep the files'.  So, indeed, I now have a clean install of Windows 10 but have lost all applications that were on the factory orginal building.  I see no way to re - install all of these programs and find the license keys.  I have more HP recovery at all.

    So I have no way to put the blue doesn't return to the factory settings.

    Advice please, I want a laptop blue, the same as the red, i.e. Windows 10 with all applications that have come to the factory as well as the correct printer drivers and a time of less than 30 seconds of starting.

    You are not sure if there is anything I can copy from red to blue to get it going again?

    Any help gratefully appreciated, thank you

    Hello

    Don't forget to copy orders being, without extra space which can cause this error:

    MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER
    
    MSIEXEC /REGSERVER
    

    Also follow the steps, I clearly stated to select never disable once McAfee and reboot manually once the installation is complete.

    Regarding the DAT files, the installation will re-install these files, no additional steps are required then those written above... If no file is not listed, simply move on to the next step.

  • can I use the windows key for the laptop broken on a new computer?

    Pre-installed Windows 7

    My laptop came with pre installed Windows 7, but now its dead as motherboard had burntout. So I am planing to buy a new system. I have the product key of Windows from the thumbnail below my old laptop, I use the product key or I have to buy a new copy of windows

    The copy of Windows 7 that came with this laptop is LINKED to this laptop.  It goes with her, even in death.

    If you get the laptop repaired, then you can use the method/support of the manufacturer of the laptop gave you to restore the operating system on that now resurrected system.  If not - you bought the rights for the whole package - not the individual components.

  • Windows Easy Transfer will not work for me between my old laptop with Windows XP and my new laptop with Windows 7.

    I am trying to transfer my files to my new laptop with Windows 7 for my old laptop with Windows XP Professional, using the Windows Easy Transfer, that I found on my old laptop.   I tried to make the transfer through my home wireless network and when that did not work...  I connected the two laptops with a cable (the same style of cable, used to connect his computer to a modem or router, not a cable SSB).

    So in summary, I just want to transfer all my files from my old laptop to my new laptop.   I copied the master file of my data from my old laptop on a "stick" assuming that I could download just to stick to the new laptop.  (I have a lot of "sticks" here.)   The idea did not work, of course, results otherwise wouldn't ask this question now.

    If you had previously copied simply data (documents folders) via a key files should be no problem during the copying of that stick to the library on win7 locations, and is there's this which is exactly the err MSG?

  • remove old laptop windows vista and install on a new

    I have a genuine license of windows vista family premium on my old laptop, I got the cd of vista with the old box to laptop dell, I got a new laptop with free back, I want to format my old laptop and sell and install windows vista on my new I read that once windows has been activated it is no longer usable on another computer unless it's an edition of retail and mine is OEM.

    is it possible to remove the license filed the old laptop and save it to the new laptop? or is there something else I can do? or have one to sell the old laptop with vista cd?

    Thank you Walter to be clear and try to help. I appreciate it. (I thought that my request was slightly different to the original post, so I stretched a hope).

    So if my hard drive crashes, I also have to buy Windows again. How Microsoft get away with this _? There was none of this information at the point of sale.

    Hey fingercuts

    No to the last question

    If your drive hard breaks down in the old compaq laptop from hp, you can contact hp compaq and get them to send you a set of vista recovery disks to reinstall vista on a new hard drive install you in the old laptop that you already purchased your license for this old laptop vista

    they do normally for somewhere between 20-$40

    and you are allowed to replace a hard drive of your machine and also to replace ram

    I hope it clears up a little bit for you

    also I wish you a great festive season
