Re-install Windows 8 on another computer

I bought the update of Windows 8 in early 2013 and installed on an old Windows XP computer, who crashed and died a few months ago.  The product key can be used to install Windows 8 on another computer?  Just curious.

Yes, you can, you may need to reactivate by phone well.

If its a version upgrade of Windows 8, the computer sit there must have a previous version of installed qualification: Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7:

Press the Windows key + X , then clickrun, then type: slui.exe 4

2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • Can I install Windows 7 on another computer if the first installation on another computer has been deleted before activation?

    Here's my situation: I installed an oem version of Windows 7 on a computer, I've set up - downloaded all the updates. I have not activated yet. Now I changed my mind about the operating system I want to install on this computer. Because the software was not enabled can I remove and install in the future on another computer? Or Microsoft knows somehow I installed the operating system on a computer, even if I do not activate it.

    Only the activation records material signature in the Activation of MS servers to compare to reinstall or check the real.  What you have now is an installation not enabled with probable 30 days to activate.

    You are wise to wait to be sure because once the OEM version is activated in the EULA, it can be moved to another motherboard.  However since OEM became the only Windows 7 Home or Pro version available there are some reports of agents activating MS make exceptions to move with a good cause.  But this cannot count on.

  • Can I re - install Windows 8 in another computer?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/support LAPTOP , I PUT ON the COMPUTER WRONG CAN I re - DOWNLOAD AND PUT ON THE 1 I WANTED, ANOTHER laptop

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Yes, you can re - install Windows 8 on a different computer.  Before you re-install in another computer, please make sure that you remove Windows 8 to the computer that you have already installed software license terms Microsoft allows a copy must be installed on one computer only.

    To remove Windows 8 of the current computer, you must perform a clean installation of Windows 8. Install with previous operating system drive (Windows 7\ Vista\XP). This removes Windows 8 in the current computer and install the previous operating system.

    Note: You may lose all your data when you perform a new installation, so please back up all data before installing the previous operating system.

    Once you have removed Windows 8 from the current computer, download Windows 8 in the new computer and install. When installing, please provide the same license key that you used during your first installation of Windows 8. You can also find this key in the purchase confirmation email that you received.

    I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please get back to us and we would be happy to help you.

  • I can install windows 7 on another computer

    Hi, can I actually install my windows 7 to a new computer? I bought windows 7 online, and it says I can install it on 3 different computers. I already installed it in my computer and laptop.
    If I can't, can I transfer them to my new computer? as this is an old computer so I want to change to a new.

    Thank you.

    You probably bought the Windows 7 Home Premium 'Family Pack'

    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/software/dp/B002MV2MG0

    If this is the case, the new computer needs a previous version of Windows installed as the Family Pack is an 'Upgrade' to Windows version and as such cannot be used on a computer that does not have a previous version of Windows installed.

    Regarding the tranfering, if the old any has a 'detail' (not a version of the OEM, OEM are preinstalled by the PC manufacturer) version of XP or Vista then the answer is Yes. Install the older version and then use then family pack to upgrade.

    If you install the earlier version is practicle not then try the Home Premium Family Pack phone activation.

    3. When do you have this error code or error message?

    The computer has detected in the network may be the other that you have, you will need to check the network and check the name of the computer. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:
    You can get a new IP address from your computer. You will need to do if you encounter connection problems.

    a. Click Start. Type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
    ipconfig/all (there is a space between ipconfig and /)
    The command ipconfig/all command displays for all your network adapters, TCP/IP in Windows settings.

    c. enough at the command prompt ipconfig and press ENTER. This frees up your current IP address.

    d. ipconfig / renew in command prompt and press ENTER.

    The DHCP configuration for all adapters is renewed. To renew the IP address for a
    specific adapter, type the name of the map that appears when you type ipconfig at the command prompt.
