• Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

  The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
  I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

  I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

  This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

  QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

  The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

  (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

  Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)

  You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

  And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

  That is right.

  Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

  His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

  I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

  I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

  The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

  Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

  Hello

  I did a clean on my SSD installation as a bunch of files in Windows 10 has been corrupted, and I couldn't do a clean reset, so I formatted my SSD. I have Windows 7 OEM, and knowing that it can be reused as long as the configuration of the computer has the same motherboard, I re-installed. However, the activation of Windows that I don't have a valid key, despite the same motherboard, etc. None of my hardware has been replaced. I tried to do the activation of the voice, but even that said my key was invalid.

  Is someone able to explain to me why it doesn't work? I looked all over the internet for an answer, and where few have come closer, no have entirely been able to help me.

• HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p199: need help with the installation and activation of 10 Windows after completely uninstalling Windows

  Hello HP assistants.

  I need help for a specific problem. My laptop came with an installation of Windows 8.1. Then I upgraded to 10 Windows when it became available. After a while, I decided to uninstall Windows completely (to wipe the hard drive) and install a Linux operating system.

  Now, I decided that I want to use some software that is not available on Linux and if I want to reinstall Windows 10. My problem is that Windows has completely disappeared in a form any. So now, I need to download Windows 10 from an official source (which I think can be done fairly easily from the official source of Microsoft, although if there is a better, HP official medium to do this then please recommend it) and then I need to activate Windows some how.

  As has been made clear, I have the right to use Windows 8.1 and 10 but I would need to download Windows 10 and turn it on. Is there a way to do this? I'm literally stuck without solution.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  As long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation as described in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

• Question about own WXP installation and activation key code

  Hello

  I recently received this laptop computer 2nd hand and I want to do a clean install on it, but I had not given a disc o/s.
  Can I use the disk to my other pc, and use the code located on the back of it to install? or do I have to buy a new copy of xp?

  I hope someone can help.

  Cordially ak

  Hello

  As far as I know, that you can not use the key on the sticker code. This key code belongs to the original restore for this model of laptop CD. You must install OS with clean code. After doing this, you can download and install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities. Each of them you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

• Satellite P200 - 17 c: Question about tools Toshiba and Vista's Windows HotStart

  Hello

  I just bought the Toshiba Notebook Satellie P200 - 17 c and I have a couple of questions which I hope you can answer in this forum?

  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=132332&Toshib aShop = true

  1. under "Bundled software" at the link above, it says that the 'Toshiba value added"is included, but I do not see this CD/DVD in the box. (My Equium L10 was a value added CD in the box).

  The Toshiba user manual
  Norton Internet Security 2007 (including updates of free Internet for 90 days)
  Ulead DVD MovieWriter for TOSHIBA
  * Toshiba value added package *.
  Supervisor password utility
  Toshiba Assist
  Toshiba Speech System
  Chicony Camera Assistant Software
  Toshiba DVD player
  Microsoft Works 8.5 (with Office home and Student 2007 trial version)
  Toshiba Disc Creator
  Connectivity doctor
  ConfigFree

  Why is the Value Added Package not included and what exactly is included on the CD/DVD for the P200 - 17 c? I'm not too sure if I have all this either. I.e. ConfigFree, connectivity, Toshiba Assist etc doctor, but I check over the next hours and after return.

  2. under "Features", he mentions:

  * Microsoft Windows HotStart for instant-on entertainment *.

  But I don't see any reference to this in the manual of the owner and its operation. Can anyone help here please?

  3. what CD/DVD writing software is included? I'm looking for something like Roxio or Nero, utilities that I can use to create data and discs with audio and also, burn ISO files, but I see is Toshiba DiskcCreator.

  I have no doubt that I'll have a few more questions once I have a good look around the laptop and will post back, but is it for now.

  I would appreciate a response from someone, but as a direct comparison, especially those of the user who already have, or have purchased the P200 - 17 c.

  The added value of Toshiba package is a collection of applications Toshiba unique like TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Power Saver components common driver, utility password of TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Flash Cards, etc.

  Applications of this are already installed on the image of Toshiba which is placed on the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  > Microsoft Windows HotStart for instant / entertainment
  As much I know Windows Hotstart in the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system offers built-in support for launch applications directly from the system startup.
  Manufacturers can take advantage of Windows HotStart to add buttons to access favourable to consumers through panels application front of the chassis.
  In your case, what are the control of Toshiba for example buttons.

  > What CD/DVD writing software is included?

  There should be a preinstalled tool called Toshiba Disc creator.
  The use of this too, you can create original audio CDs, data CDs and DVDs and backup of CD and DVD discs

  Hope that clarified everything

• Problem with the installation and activation of Autodesk Autocad 2011

  Hello

  You can activate AutoCAD, through activation and the recording interface, you can activate your product 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through the Internet or by e-mail. Or the other option takes only a few steps to complete and requires your product serial number and registration information.

  http://images.Autodesk.com/ADSK/files/autocad_2011_faq_us.PDF

  Also try the suggestion in the given below link and check if this is useful to solve the problem.

• Silent installation and activation of the 50 copies of PhotoShop elements 12 TLP x

  I'm deploying licensed TLP of 50 users of PSE12 to 50 PCs without having to visit each PC, as was possible with previous versions.

  I have the installation in silent mode completed without error, but the product is not activated and has needed me to connect with one on each PC Adobe ID. Even once by the PC, it is not acceptable for a network installation.

  I also note that end users can disconnect from the Adobe ID so deactivatingthe software for all users of the computer, until I have revisit and sign in again. And no, we are not going to give users all Adobe ID credentials. Even before the events of the past week

  PSE12 Setup logs shows "there is no alternative files. Replace the value of substitution dir to be an empty string"- this is not find application.xml.override, even if the file is certainly available in the right places and is in UTF-8 format.

  (In addition, therefore, updates are not deleted.)

  My hunch is that the mechanism of application.xml.override was removed from PSE12 because of the new Adobe ID sign-in requirement?

  I am aware that AMEE is not request for the deployment of PSE.

  I would appreciate help on this.

• Windows vista USB flash drive installation AND recover the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disk

  Hi all

  I formatted my laptop some time ago. Now I want to reinstall windows vista (came along with my laptop). The thing is due to a problem that my CD drive does not work so I would like to install windows vista by using a USB key. Can you get it someone please let me know if this is possible... If Yes, how I've go ahead make a bootable USB.

  As someone can tell me if there is a way to retrieve the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disc.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  This can help, but you will need a Vista system to create the working bootable USB key:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista/

  As for the product key, it should be on a sticker on the laptop (usually on the bottom). If it is not readable, contact the manufacturer for further assistance. As we said already, the product key is not on the installation disc.

  Replace broken laptop optical drives is not too difficult, you can see this as another option.

  Hello.

  I have a Sony Vaio laptop, and 2 days ago I formatted my hard drive, lose my Windows 8.
  After 2 days of research on the internet I can't find anyway possible to download Windows 8 (No 8.1) that came with it and how to get a product return key because there is no sticker in the bottom of the laptop.
  I also found that the key may be integrated in the UEFI bios. Is this true? If Yes please can someone help me find the normal version of Windows 8 (not 8.1 or Pro or something else) and give me instructions on how to activate with the key, I'm supposed to have in the laptop UEFI bios?

  You will need to contact Sony and ask the recovery media so that you can restore Windows 8 on your computer.
