Old Timers new to Windows 7
I don't know a lot about the changes in the new computers or software, so I need help step by step instructions for Windows 7.
We (my husband and me) which is held offshore, as long as we could get new computers and switching from Windows XP to Windows 7, but my husband's computer has stopped working, we had to buy a new. In addition, I understand that April 2014 Windows XP will become more or less obsolete, because MS will bring no more than issue patches or support.
The new Dell computer came with preinstalled software and Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (OEM) product key. My husband has decided, after the purchase, he wants Windows 7 Prossional. Neither one of us has used Windows 7 and are intimidated with all the new information from the computer.
I went online and ask about upgrades, but I'm still confused. I looked into MS Windows 7 Professional Upgrade, but understand that this software is only used when upgrading from XP or Vista to Windows 7. I asked him then on the purchase of upgrade Express MS, but it seems that everyone is out of stock, including Ms. So, now, I understand our next alternative is to purchase a new full commercial version of MS Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Which is fine, because we prefer to own the software in case of computer problems later. Have I got this right so far?
If we buy the new full commercial version of MS Windows 7 Professional can we just spend the drive included? And if so, how? This no problem with the installation of Dell computer, no problem for internal as parts so the map chart, etc or no problem to any other software that Dell might have preloaded? What is clean install? Clean install applies it to what Dell has loaded or caused to the computer or applies to what a person can add, download or do to a computer once they start using it and then decide to upgrade? My husband's new computer is still in the box. We did nothing with him again, because we want to know with certainty how to upgrade to Windows Home Premium to professional Windows and do it before using.
Thanks in advance for any information and help.

You can purchase a full retail version of Windows 7 Professional and use the product key for an upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Home Premium.
Full version-

You should always check if Windows 7 Professional is available through the Express Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Wizard:
Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click the option to purchase a key. Wait while loading of the Express Upgrade page, click on the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade to buy it.
Click Next, fill in your details (it is important that you do this because the product key will be sent to you as a backup in case you need to reinstall) enter your credit card information, click next to begin the upgrade, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement , click upgrade, wait while the software updates, (it may take 10 minutes or more, depending on the case, updates are required), your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a windows will pop up by notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional, your files, programs and settings stored, proceed to activate Windows 7 Professional.

If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.
Thanks in advance for any information and help.

I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer. If yes how can I do this?
If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopIf a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.A single license is a single Installation.
If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:
http://www.theeldergeekvista.com/vista_clean_installation.htm
A tutorial on the use of a clean install

After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.
See you soon.

Transfer between old and new Vista Windows 8.1.
Original title: Easy transfer cable.
Hi all.
I just updated my computer. That runs Vista & the new Windows 8.1.
The old one is connected to my router by ethernet, but I want to put a new place for wireless connection.
I understand that both computers must be on the same network for cable easy transfer to work, but I'm not sure if the different connection types this reduces to nothingness.
I could, of course, hang a new ethernet & then disconnects and establish a wireless connection, but it seems a waste of time if it is not needed.
New ' puter is coming tomorrow and I could use some experienced on this advice, so I can get everything transferred as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.
Colin.

Why can I not use my old genuine copy of windows Vista on my new pc?
Windows vista on new pc
Why can I not use my old genuine copy of windows vista on my new pc?
I received an activation message and I don't know what to doIf your Vista came pre-installed in your old PC, then this is an OEM license that cannot be transferred to your new PC.
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
-* in your own thread *, pleasePlease also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case with your machine, but do NOT quote the key on the sticker!

I have hundreds of emails in the sent folder and hundreds in my folder of emails saved on my old computer (windows live mail 2011) but when I open windows live mail 2012 on my new computer all the folders are empty. I signed the same account on both computers.

It is relatively simple as you use and that you want to use WLM.
You will need to copy a folder from where it is (the old installation) to another place where you know it will be (for example on your desktop)
The folder is c:\users\your user name\app data (if it is not there, see the note below) \local\microsoft\
At that point you will see a folder named oddly enough "windows live mail" copy on your desktop
If you don't see the app data because it is invisible atm. To make it visible, you need to go to your control panel > folder options > view > change to hidden folders (see figure)
Once you have mail backed up on your desktop (or where ever) drag the folder from the desktop to the location for the new WLM (once again we C;-... just like above). Just make sure that WLM does not run in time. What wont be imported, it of passwords and rules.
Accounts and data should now be in the new WLM when you open it.

Windows easy transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP. "Help, please. Thank you. Betty
For users of Windows XP to Windows 8, that's what you use:

You can install and activate, until, two computers. So yes, you can install on your new computer to win 10.
If you have already activated on two, disable (help > deactivate) on your old computer before uninstalling it on your old computer.
