Re-use of the old Win XP CD for new installations?

I have 2 CD of Win XP Pro from when I bought my old DELL laptop and desktop. The laptop is now dead.

Can I use the CD for a new instrall on a new machine? I have the COA sticker still on the bottom of the laptop, but it is scratched and I can't read the last 4 digits

If it's an OEM license license, he died with the laptop.

  • Can I buy somewhere the old version of Photoshop, for example Photoshop CS3?

    Buy the old version of Photoshop for example Photoshop CS3?

    You may stumble on a copy wandering cs6 somewhere, but chances are it is hacked. It is not officially for sale, anywhere. CS3 I think you can forget safely.

    That said, $10 per month gets you the updates later, future included and Lightroom thrown. Any way you calculate it is much better to manage.

    I spent a lot of time trying to make it and hope that someone can help me.

    Thanks in advance

    Mike

    Michael,

    1 I've done this work using IP and DNS Server IP entries different from those that you tried.  Set the default gateway and preferred DNS server on the IP address of the network card in the other PC.

    For example: -.

    On the PC with the LAN card 192.168.137.1 IP address, assign to the 192.168.137.2 default gateway and preferred DNS server .

    On the PC with the LAN card 192.168.137.2 IP address, assign to the 192.168.137.1 default gateway and preferred DNS server .

    2. you must also have a common Admin user name on both machines.  I added that common at the time and used the same password for each of them as well , but I can't now find notes explaining why I used the same password.  Should not be signed as a common user, you just need to use the credentials for this user when challenged at the first opportunity to connect to the PC.

    3. If you want to start over again and check everything again, I discovered that the procedure to a procedure step by step for the creation of a network of Ethernet cable of two computers between Windows 7 and Windows XP with ICS works for a LAN between Win7-WinXP, Win7-Win10, WinXP-Win10.  It seems likely that it works between Win7-Win8.

    4 a crossover between the LAN cable is not necessary.  A standard LAN cable will also work.  The standard LAN cable connection is, apparently, a little slower than a cable connection, but I was never able to see a difference.

  • Can I transfer files from the old computer running XP to new computer before or after you move the new Vista computer to Windows 7?

    I have a computer running windows vista that I'm planning on upgrading to Windows 7. I will be transferring files and settings from my old computer running windows XP SP3.  Can I make the transfer to the new computer before upgrade Vista to Windows 7 or should I first, up grade for Win 7, and then do the transfer?  I also asked a previous question about the email, I use Outlook Express on the XP machine.  What happens to the emails, settings, and contacts once I use Windows Vista and Win 7 easy transfer to the have Outlook Express? The new computer has Outlook 2003 is installed, all the settings will automatically go to this program?

    Make the transfer later.  Everything you do is do more work for the upgrade.  It takes hours as it is.  Please use the forums of office for questions by email.  Click Office link in the banner at the top of the forum page.

  • iPad is trying to connect to the old e-mail address for the App Store

    Some time ago, I changed my email address (for example of A to B) and this reflects on my iPad - and I use it, B, under my Apple ID.

    Each setting that I can find on my iPad (iCloud Inc.) has my new address, B.

    However, when I try to download a new application, I'm invited to the password to my old address (A).

    Someone at - it ideas as to why?

    By the way, when I put the password for the old account, he gets through this stage, but it fails with an error message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" generic.

    Help! ; ()

    Kind regards.

    Geoff H.

    Have you checked the iTunes and App Store Sign In?  Settings > general > iTunes and App Store.

    Also, if you have old applications associated with the old ID still on the iOS device, the app store will ask you the old id and password to update the old app.  Legacy applications can be transferred to the new identification.

  • How to move data from the old hard drive to a new operating system, games, songs, vista etc.

    you want to install more hard drive. How can I move all of the data, os, games, music, etc.

    and have computer always starts.

    Hello

    You cannot move by themselves programs

    you need to reinstall it from the original media

    read this about moving everything, including the operating system

    or save your data and reinstall clean vista

    There are different ways to do

    hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

    Search for information on this subject on their Web site

    If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

    read the information below

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

    or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

    link below is an example of this:

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

    also to put your machine how you bought:

    1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

    You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive

    ask the manufacturer of the machine how

    2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

  • How can I transfer all the emails from the old hard drive to a new hard drive, Windows 7

    This transfer of e-mail has some quirk to it.  I am running Windows 7 Professional on a concert of 150 old drive raptor WD with Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.  I'll be installing Windows 7 Professional on the new drive and running Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird and the need to pass all the information the browser and e-mails (with folders) to the appropriate place on the new drive.  I will use the same Windows 7 Professional disk for the operating system on the new drive, and then the old drive will be trashed as soon as the transfer is completed.  What is the best way to transfer the data since I use two different browsers and e-mail clients?  Do I first transfer all on the same type of browser and e-mail on the new disk and then import in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, or can I do a direct transfer to them?

    Hey there James :)

    If your original WD Raptor drive is in good health, have you considered cloning it to the new drive and so keeping everything as it is without the need to reinstall and backup and restore your data to the e-mail and other applications? I suggest to check out Acronis True Image WD Edition for this procedure: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=st8xw8
    I would first of all check if the drive is healthy, as the procedure could transfer some potential errors from the old drive to the new. I would recommend running tool WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic to check the status of the WD Raptor drive. Here's a link: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=p7VtBy

    After the back if you have any questions!

  • Is it possible to get the old windows 7 hard disk new?

    I have a pc hard drive has crapped out, and I'm looking to buy a new hard drive and I was wondering if I have to buy a new os or y at - it a way to get the old windows 7 on the new pc.

    Original title: a few questions about reinstalling windows

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7, you should be able to use the product key located on the COA sticker that is attached to the system unit and reinstall Windows 7.

    COA certificate of authenticity:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/howtotell/content.aspx?PG=COA

    ??

    What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • can I buy the old Windows 7 games for Windows 8?

    OK, I'll leave on the side of all the sarcastic comments on Windows 8, which I hate to date very well. I bought a DESKTOP COMPUTER, and I want the FUNCTIONS of OFFICE, not smartphone, uncompressed, etc.. I went from a perfectly usable in a non-intuitive and cluttered environment Windows 7 environment ridiculously all of a sudden, and I have used all versions of Windows since I made the leap from BACK to Windows 3.1.

    But anyway.
    I want the old version of Solitaire and Freecell, the kind that took only a small part of the screen so that you can wait to (for example) or play during boring parts of a Webex (for example) and do not interrupt the rest of what you do.
    I read many messages of complaint on this site and the enormous amounts found in a Google search, and I think that Microsoft has the message that people want the old version but so far did not care one iota.
    So, can I BUY an old version of games? I'm not interested in free downloads from CNET, etc, they have ads and other junk that comes with free downloads.
    I'm not interested in wasting any more time with the dam * "store" "charm".
    Anyone know if I can actually buy the old games? A person stands make money from us oldtimers, if so.
    Thanks in advance for any advice unless advice that I "get with the new times" and etc. I'm on the 'new time' and I'm not afraid of technology. I WANT JUST THE OLD GAMES REALLY SIMPLE.

    Is not obvious because there is no title bar to drag, but you can do as a normal program: just tap the very top edge of the screen and drag and down and each side to snap into place.  The next program you open and then will open in the remaining empty space.

    If you have a touch screen, you can use the same movement by dragging it down, from the top edge.

  • How to re-enable the old CS3 software on a new machine?

    Support,

    I got Creative Suite 3 on my computer for years. Before that I've recently upgraded to a new computer, I have disabled CS3 so I can reinstall/reactivate it on the new machine. While I've been able to re - download the software from your site, I am now unable to turn it back on with my original serial number (deleted by the moderator). Your help is greatly appreciated as there is no reason I should be denied the use of the software I paid for just because it is old. Thank you very much.

    You can install any application via the installer of complete Production premium CS3 as serial number must activate full package apps alone.

  • Use of the address bar to search for phrases that contain no spaces?

    When I type the sentences that contain spaces in the search bar, it evokes a search on google as specified by my topic: config under the keyword. URL
