question on installing windows 7

I'm building a new office because my wife wrecked her laptop and I'll give her mine.  In total, I have two laptops over hers and a version bought Windows vista Ultimate edition.   The only work of three laptop computers, but the other two, used for. Allows to call their computer laptop a & b (broken mine), & (my own work) and c & (wifes does not).  All three had windows vista or 8 installed manufacturer, only the difference is on one portable computer & I installed windows vista ultimate on it.  This is where my question comes in.

On my new office that I build, I want to put up with the laptop & harddrive and I have an another 2.5 Virgin sitting somewhere.  I have the architecture to have inside the desktop computer.  I wonder if I can just put the old cell phone a & drive hard and it maybe will not work with windows on my system, however especially can I just install the windows vista ultimate dvd new since I have not used this laptop a & in two years or more?  If this is not the case, what can I do? In my house, we have 4 windows vista/8 with single numbers used, what are my options with these unused serial numbers, one of them, is a retail version of windows vista holiday?

Hello

If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

Only retail Operating System license 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.

See you soon.

  • Questions Re installed Windows 7 on my computer

    Recently, I decided to re - install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on my gaming PC, due to the fact that there are many viruses to infect my computer makes it difficult to do the basic things. When I got my installation disk I followed the instructions in the custom and chooses everything I wanted to do. When the installation is almost complete, (saying complete installation) it never seemed to end, it had sat for an hour, saying that it has finished installing, at this stage, I decided to turn it off and on again because probably there was a bug in the installation. When I did the installation launched and got "the installation program starts services" and then say "Windows has encountered an error or a restart unexpected, please click OK to restart the computer and continue the installation" naturally, I selected OK and it restarted the computer, but then once "the Installer starts services" the same question would happen

    infinitely. I tried up to 15 - 20 times except that soon he don't even have that until now, he has just cut immediately after start-up, restart and repeat. If anyone has encountered this and has one response other than buying a new hard drive and a new windows 7 CD

    If you can download and install ISORecoder and use it to create a DVD ISO Windows 7. If it succeeds, then the disc can be read in its entirety and there is nothing wrong with it.

    Visit the manufacturers of drive for a diagnostic disk image or a tool. To verify that the drive is OK.

    Remove all add the device before installing Windows, if it has on-board graphics port even remove the video card. The naked system is less likely to have driver problems. Even remove all other disks apart from the system disk.

    The fault you describe is indicating a memory problem as a serious candidate. Try to remove the memory down to a minimum for installation. Installation with suspect memory can produce weird effects and I found memory that can pass every test available have problems with the installation of Windows.

  • A general question on installing Windows 7 and RAID configuration

    I have an OEM Windows XP machine. His HD system consists of two physical disks connected during a RAID 0 configuration. The RAID has been initially configured in the BIOS (and maybe an extra chip), and then there are the drivers included in the installer of the OS.

    My question is: if I install Windows 7 from scratch on this machine (i.e. not updated from XP) the installation process would allow me to configure the RAID? Has its own generic drivers for RAID configurations?

    You will appreciate a response from a really knowledgeable person.

  • A few questions about installing Windows on a Mac

    Hello world.

    I'm considering installing Windows on my 2006 iMac. I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with that. I know that this machine will run Windows 7 or 8, in terms of system resources, but probably doesn't have the RAM for 10.

    The girl has reached Apple Obsolescence and no longer can be upgraded to newer versions of Mac OS. Unfortunately, this also means that she can not get the latest version of iTunes and don't talk to my phone. But she still my entire library of music.

    I know that used at least iTunes is available on Windows, but I seem to remember that they took it. Y at - it an option to put my iTunes music on an iPhone 6 in a Windows environment? I don't mind if I need to convert files or otherwise work for her. I have just a few old out-of-print stuff that I really miss being able to listen to anywhere other than my office.

    I'm pretty much stuck with versions before 10, due to the RAM thing. Honestly, I haven't used Windows since around 1998, with the exception of a terminal XP at work, so I don't know much about it. Any recommendation on which version is the best? And I can buy a copy online directly from Microsoft?

    If I would be better off buying a new laptop for very cheap, it is also a possibility. But my Mac still works well, despite not being not supported for updates, and I hate wasting perfectly good material. I just don't have the money for another Mac right now.

  • Need space to install Windows 7? I've got room, I don't?

    I am trying to install Windows 7 on Vista laptop for my daughter.

    The hard disk is partitioned into a C drive:

    79.6 GB used

    69.3 GB free

    and the D drive is partitioned as

    24.6 MB used

    6.38 MB of free space

    When I try to upgrade I get the following error

    There is not enough free space on the D: partition. A total of 15 megabytes of free space is required.

    When I look at the drive D with Windows Explorer it shows only 1 file called Bootsect.bak and he is 8 KB.

    What occupies the rest of the space?

    How can I enlarge Partition D so that I can install Windows 7?

    Rex

    Do not install Windows 7 on the D: drive - which is the recovery disk and is not big enough for Windows 7. It is best if you keep the D: drive is - don't mess with it unless it is intended to prevent the installation of Windows 7. Restore the disk files should be hidden if you do not see them.

    Install Windows 7 on drive C:. Sometimes, the program made the mistake to recommend the D: drive. Your C: drive drive has sufficient space for the installation of Windows 7, but if you make a room upgrade you may need to free up space.

    Windows 7 requires about 20 GB of free space for installation with a clean install, and even more if you make a way to upgrade. If you have a lot of music and/or videos you can transfer it to an external storage device during the upgrade.

  • Install Windows 7 on a new machine

    I'll throw my old PC I installed Windows 7 on. I have a laptop that I would like to install the Windows 7 disc, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to use the product key, as I already used it on my original machine.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    So would I need to disable the function on the old computer (if such a thing is possible) as my understanding was that it is a matter "a computer license"?

    It's a commercial version full btw.

    Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

  • is it possible to install windows 7 64-bit on dell 8600C

    Hello

    At the present time, I have a dell inspiron 8600C with 2 gigabytes of RAM, 80 GB hard drive with windows xp sp3. Is it possible to install the version of windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on this laptop? The Advisor to updgrade windows 7 Microsoft informs me that windows 7 32 bit can be installed on it?

    Thanks for the reply in advance

    Rajeev

    The 8600C Dell came with a Pentium M processor which is 32-bit only. You cannot install 64-bit with this processor, but 32-bit will work.

    Installation custom own steps

    Time to use:

    Switching from XP to 7, or not supported in place upgrade paths (ex: Vista Home Pro 7)

    A Windows system to 32 bit on a 64 bit system, or change the language

    Don't want to make a room upgrade, or if you want a fresh install / clean

    You can use a Full Windows 7 or upgrade disk to do a custom clean install. This will remove all of your programs, but you can save your files and settings on an external storage before doing so. You will need to reinstall all your programs after installing Windows 7. Here are the steps:

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you can install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    2. backup all your files and settings to avoid losing documents, photos and other information. Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool to copy files (not programs) from your PC and then transfer back after installation of Windows 7. If you don't want to use Windows Easy Transfer, you can copy your files to a Flash DRIVE or CD/DVD. Note: The easy transfer will not work when changing languages, or when moving from 64 bit to 32 bit (it will work ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit).

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/Windows-easy-transfer

    3. find the discs installation and license/product associated to all your programs keys, because you have to manually reinstall all programs. If you have downloaded some Internet programs you can redownload them.

    4. place the Windows 7 disc in your DVD player. A window should appear from the installation process, when asked the type of installation do you want click on custom (advanced option). Note: 32 to 64-bit requires restart and boot from the DVD.

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, you can use Windows Easy Transfer (or a different backup method you used) to restore your files & settings and use your installation disks to reinstall all your programs. Then you're done - take advantage of Windows 7.
