Pre-installed Vista CD computer Dell laptop allows you to install Vista on another computer of dell desktop originally pre-installed with XP?

Hello.

Have an old dell desktop with XP.
Have a new computer dell laptop with Vista.

Both came pre-installed.
Both came with a CD to reinstall Windows.

Am I allowed to install Vista from that original CD on the desktop?
I did, then you have the problem (not genuine copy of Vista). I have since reinstalled Vista, but before I completely setting up the office, once again, I want to make sure that I am able to do this (do not want the new not genuine error).

Specific questions:
1. am I allowed to use portable CD to install Vista on another computer?
2. If so, that must be done to ensure the "not genuine" error can't?

Thanks for any help.

Reference Dell binds their records to their motherboards.

If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, 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/laptop

And a Vista license = a Vista Installation.

See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

    What version of Adobe allows you to change the orientation of the page on some pages and save the document (PDF) with only a few of the tours pages?

    Adobe is the name of the company, not the software as many people say. Since you want to know the exact software, it is important to know that.

    Any version of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro to do this. These are commercial software (a cool weather or subscription).  The free Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader cannot do this.

  • Allow you advertisers to create links on Web pages. It is intrusive, interfere with my use and boring. I won't use Firefox if the problem persists.

    If my cursor passes over a link, a popup comes a link to the advertiser. I hate this.

    The Firefox browser does not come with such a feature, as I agree, sounds like a malware on your computer or may be added by one of your installed Extensions listed in tools-> Addons-> Extensions.

  • Laptop HP 15-R119TU: version 8.1 of Windows which was this original system comes with?

    So I know that it was Windows 8.1 x 64... But exactly which variation my model comes with?

    House? Only one language? "N" ? .... Cannot be Pro.

    Is there any way to determine from the embedded in my BIOS product key?

    Many sites say it's 'Windows 8.1 with Bing. But there are also 'Windows 8.1 with Bing, one language'... etc.

    How can go do a new install of Win 8.1 who to him scoped from the OEM key in my BIOS. I have the model numbers, series and lot etc. on the back of my laptop. If those who can help.

    It's probably a question for the experts of HP.

    PS: I erased my entire hard drive. So there is nothing more. New installation.

    Hello:

    The page of product for your model below specifications indicate that it comes with Windows 8.1 with Bing (64-bit).

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-15-notebook-PC-series/7234951/model/7553315/document/c04489978/

    I don't think you can use the download ISO W8.1 from Microsoft, because it won't work with the product key OEM of W8.1 in the BIOS.

    You need to either use the recovery W8.1 media you did when you got the laptop, or an OEM of W8.1 installation disc.

    You laptop has no Pro of W8.1 verson.

  • Computer with Vista unable to connect to the internet through two computers with Windows 7.

    Dear engineers,

    In our House, we have two new computers Windows 7 connect to Wired internet access.  Our friend came in hoping to play some MMO games with us on our connection (it has windows vista).  When we hung everything upward, by linking to our modem, his computer was visible on my husbands computer, but was visible on mine as a media device.  He could see the two computers, but could not get an internet connection and no viable ping.  We checked the network map and he showed my computer with one? related to my husband then connected to the internet.  Inside, there was an announcement indicating that the following devices are not displayed in the network map.  under of course was listed both our friends media device and the computer device.  I searched Control Panel and gave access to anyone on the login to my husbands system as long as me.  What happens if nothing else can I try to have its system you can connect to our internet?

    Thank you for your attention,

    Hello

    If a computer is not properly visible it generally means that sharing is not set correctly to match your system.

    You must also set your computers with the computer account of the friend as a user on your computer.

    Everyone does not mean everyone wishing to connect.

    If the accounts are presented only for John, Jill and Jack, setting in the folder with all permissions saves the effort of definition permission separately for John, Jill and Jack.

    Everyone isn't everyone group, only John, Jill and Jack.

    In general.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    Win 7 networking with other version of Windows as a work network.

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

    When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

    If you have authorization and security problems, check the following settings.

    Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

    In the properties

    Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

    This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

    The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

    * Note . There must be specific users. All means all users who already have an account now as users. This does not mean everyone who feel they would like to connect.

  • Enter CC allows you to send regular photos to your libraries?

    The only option that I understand for sending photos to Capture CC is the look section. When I create a new library, I'm not able to add these photos in my Photoshop document. She LOOK photos can go first and sequelae.

    This App allows you to send photos to your libraries? Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello! I try to understand what is happening here.

    So you use adobe screenshot. Adobe Capture gives you 4 applications that you can use:

    Color

    -Color lets you create palettes. You can create palettes using existing images or score you camera directly to what is in front of you. If the purpose of color creates for example Illustrator or Photoshop color palettes. They will disembark in your libraries

    GLANCE

    -look almost the same as color, but what you get is a search for color you can use successfully in e.g. sequelae. Your eyes will land in your library

    FORM

    -form transforms photos into vectors. You can use your existing or new photos. Once you have created a form, which is a vector of the apps created a photo, you can save it in your library and use it in your client application. As for the color and appearance, your silhouette will be in the library

    BRUSH

    -brush is an application that allows you to create brushes for other mobile applications or desktop applications. As in all others, you can take a photo or an existing photo allows you to create a new brush. The coals can be saved and appear in your library.

    For all applications allow you to open pictures from your mobile or tablet or take new and use them for the purposes of the application itself.

    If your goal is to work on an image and the image that is sent to a desktop app, maybe you should check Photoshop Fix or Photoshop Mix. They too are Adobe apps, but are not available for all mobile phones and phones yet.

    Let me know if I am clarifying the right thing here

    @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

    You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

    Hello JothinVedere

    After you have re-installed Windows XP, you can go on the site Web of Norton and download the software from their part. Once you have downloaded it you should be asked for an email or an account that you configured when you first bought Norton, log. After that, Norton is turned on with the rest of the time for your subscription should be displayed. If you have further questions about Norton, you can click on their link to support here.

    Can a system pre-installed with Windows Vista be manually downgraded to Windows XP?

    No, you can't downgrade. But you can probably * clean install * Windows XP.

    I say "probably" because there is a potential problem with drivers XP being available for all hardware. If the computer is a laptop, this risk is greater. So check with the manufacturer or on their web site to make sure that all the drivers you need do not exist for XP.

    Welcome to the HP support forums.

    Certainly not a stupid question.

    The answer is: Yes, you need to install the software on all your devices.

    You can also choose to install the base drivers.

    Base drivers will give you all the features of the printer.
