Online purchase of Windows 8

If I buy Windows 8 on the Microsoft store, I can download the installation on a USB files and allows to install it on another computer. My desktop computer requires Windows to reinstall but I don't have the disc or product key, so why I buy Windows again.

Hello

Yes, however if your computer comes with Windows 8 so the manufacturer must be able to
offer a disc not expensive.

  • Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for online purchase in my country

    Separated from this thread.

    I live in the United States and I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I went to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Windows Anytime Upgrade only to find out that it is no longer available for online purchase in my country or region.

    Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available, ended around October 2013. If you need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, you will need to purchase a retail upgrade or version license full, then use the product key with the Express Upgrade Assistant.

    Because retail licenses are rare and difficult to obtain, your only option may be Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, which cannot perform one installs clean.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    I understand that there is a list of the approved countries who are authorized to allow "sales online and downloads" of the software upgrade. However, if a Microsoft Customer happens to live elsewhere, how can it upgrade its computers?

    Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available, it is a product of the retail and retail sales and anytime upgrades to Windows 7 ended in October 2013 in all over the world.

  • iTunes repeatedly ask you to authorize a song newly purchased on Windows 10.  I tried to remove the SC folder and disable notifications.  How can I fix?

    I'm on Windows 10 with the latest version of iTunes.  I recently bought an album on the iTunes store.  When I try to play the last song on the album I'm invited several times to allow the computer.  I followed the suggestions in the article of HT203160, but this has not solved the problem.  I can't play the song on my computer, or the iTunes store, even thought that this drop-down list 'play' for a purchased song.

    So, now that that?

    Delete and redownload this song if it's free in your country.

  • Can't listen to the radio online streaming with Windows Media Player

    Online Radio Web sites that use Windows Media Player - opens the player in a new window, but instead of buffering, said he plays but not output / sound. Certainly not security/pop up/firewall issue. Windows Media Player works fine CD playback, etc.

    Hello

    then, you definitely have a machine which both sound and you can establish a Internet. I think that it s a problem of pure mediaplayer (softwareproblem).

    You have the following options:
    1. reinstall your mediaplayer or update.
    2. install another software mediaplayer like winamp or some other jukebox
    3. .. no other options

    Give some feedback, then maybe I can help you with your problem. ;)

    There are a few things that could cause the problem you are experiencing.

  • XP mode is not able to go online on my windows machine 7

    Hi all

    I'm unable to go online using my machine windows xp mode 7, I get a valid and also tried ip address NAT option, but I'm still not able to go online.

    Can please tell me the steps that I can try once I use a computer public libraray to post this question.

    Hi NoelTenjiku.

    Because we are dealing with virtual machines, there are many different variables to check. I guess that the network that you connect to your virtual machine for is attribution of IP through DHCP addresses. When I say this, I mean that there is no static IP address configured in the virtual machine, and there are no static IP addresses for your NETWORK card on the host computer.
    Check the network configuration of your virtual machine to Windows XP Mode. Make sure that there is only ONE network adapter, and that the single network adapter is set to "network shared (NAT). To do this,
    1. Open Windows Virtual PC on the Start Menu.
    2. Right click on "Windows XP Mode". Choose settings.
    3. Click the network setting.
    4. Make sure that there is only 1 number of network adapters, and adapter #1 is set to "network shared (NAT).
    5. Start the Windows XP Mode virtual machine.
    6. Click Start > Control Panel. (Change to Classic view).
    7. Double-click network connections.
    8. Right-click on the single NETWORK adapter, choose Properties.
    9. Highlight "Internet Protocol (TCP\IP), then click on the properties button.
    10. Make sure that the two "obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are selected.
    11. Click OK, and then click OK to close the properties of LAN. Close the Control Panel window.
    12. Try to access internet again.
    If you're still having problems, you should check the settings of NETWORK card on your host computer (the computer running Windows XP Mode = host PC). To do this,
    1. Minimize Windows XP Mode if it is displayed.
    2. Open the network and sharing Center Control Panel.
    3. Click on "Change adapter settings" on the left pane.
    4. If you use a laptop, there will be at least two listed network adapters. Right-click on the NETWORK adapter, click Properties.
    5. Highlight "Internet Protocol (TCP\IP), then click on the properties button.
    6. Make sure that the two "obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are selected.
    7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the remaining network adapters in the adapter settings window.
    8. Restart the Windows XP Mode virtual machine and try to access internet again.

  • Is there an upgrade online available for Windows 2000 to Windows XP?

    Windows 2000 Professional upgrade

    My plan is to buy a new computer very soon, I am looking for a short term solution to my problem.  I'm on Windows 2000 Professional and I use Turbo tax to do my income taxes.  However, I cannot load program Turbo tax this year because it supports more Windows 2000.  My question: is there an upgrade online from Windows 2000 to XP still available?  Or, is there another upgrade online (directly to Vista or Windows 7) that I could use to get my taxes done.  The long-term solution will come in a few weeks when I buy my new thing.  Thank you

    A quick glance on the Toshiba Web site seems to indicate that there is no Windows 7 drivers for your laptop, but you can download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to double check.  If your laptop can support Windows 7, you can buy and install a version of it.  If you are about to buy a new computer, however, I wouldn't consider this course of action to be economically reasonable.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows XP or Vista.  Although you may be able to find CD's for these versions of Windows, they are likely to be expensive (Amazon), summary (eBay), or both.

    Either wait to do your taxes until you get your new computer or have them online, as Carey suggested.
