Possible to move from XP to new computer without installation CD?
I have an old computer that I got from a friend who no longer want, but today she has exceeded so that there is not much I could do with it. It has Windows XP installed, and I would like to know if I could move XP without CD installation to a new computer, I built recently. I am currently running Linux on my new PC.
you will not be able to because that move the hard drive to a totally different system will engage xp anti hacking device.
you see, during the initial installation of xp, it collects information about all the hardware on this computer and generates a security hash.
Thereafter, whenever the initialization of xp it collects information about the material and compare it to the hardware hash to ensure gaps little or not with the hardware.
So basically, if xp is started on this newer computer, the hardware hash that it has stored on the drive will not match the information he gather on the new computer.
However, if you have the xp installation cd and the product number of matches the OS on the hard drive, then you can do a repair install and create a new hardware hash.
also, remember that the old xp may not work on computer systems more lately, anyway. Thus, not only is the hardware hash as a factor for xp, but incompatible material can be as well.
as a suggestion, you can put the old computer with your new network.

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.

Transfer from Photoshop to new Mac without installation disk
I have the suite Photoshop CS4 (other programs are not installed) on my current Macbook Pro and I am looking to buy a new Macbook Pro. I would like to transfer Photoshop on the new computer laptop and fortunately my product is registered and I still have access to my serial number online. Unfortunately, I can't find my installation disk. I'll be able to successfully transfer the program with assistance of migration from Apple, or I'm likely to have problems?

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.

Before installing Windows 7, I entered the BIOS and changed my AHCI Mode IDE SDS for a reason any and I forgot to switch back. Now, I want to put in AHCI mode because it says online that AHCI mode could improve SDD/HDD performance considerably, compared to IDE mode. However, if the mode is enabled in AHCI mode, my Windows 7 will not able to start, so I continue to choose the IDE for my SDS mode.

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.
