Recovery of a computer disks can be used for another move from XP to Vista?

I bought an HP computer a few years back with windows vista home premium, when I started it told me to do a series of witch of recovery disks that I made. Also, I have a laptop that is running windows XP Professional and want to put windows vista Home premium on it. So, are these recovery disks that I made my copy of vista Home premium? If this is not the case, how can I get the copy I paid? and if they do I use to install my vista on my laptop? If I can, how?  Thank you

Hello

You cannot use the recovery discs HP computer did you to install vista on your laptop

read this

·                        as your vista is preinstalled on the HP machine it is an oem license and cannot be transferred to another machine

It is linked to the original machine on which it is installed

If he had a license of vista of detail that isn't there could have been transferred to another machine

but it can only be installed on a machine at any time

the rule is: A windows license = a windows installation

You can use your HP recovery discs that you made to reinstall vista on your original HP computer

and that's all you can do with them

Microsoft sells more vista

they moved on windows 7

You can find a copy of vista and license left to a computer repair shop

    You cannot use an Asus recovery disc and product key to fix the Acer computer.

    Your license of Vista Asus is linked to YOUR computer.

    It won't work on his.

    It won't pass activation and probably will not yet be installed...

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    Bring it to contact Acer at the above link and buy a set of Acer recovery disks.

    They normally sell them for a cost of $ small.

    Or, follow my advice in my 1st answer and try and borrow a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

    See you soon.

  • Revoery disks can be used for intsaller on an SSD alternative?

    Hello. im getting a pro book 450 G1 and want to replace the hard drive with an ssd. Then I just did the recovery dvd and remove the hard drive, install the ssd drive and run the factory restore?

    Thank you

    If you have not opened it and can still do, then you might want to consider returning, yes since it seems you're not going to be satisfied with your purchase. You can probably buy a laptop with a SSD in there for less than a laptop and an SSD.

    You can of course the image of the hard disk that you advance to an external backup that can be reinstalled on any disk hard if something is wrong with yours. You want to do, anyway. And the original hard drive has a C:\swsetup folder that contains all of the drivers and initially installed the software in order to not lose all of it.

    It is not quite as bad as you think, in other words, but there is a bit of complexity.

  • I have four recovery disks that after I bought my computer, I did. These disks can be used to install Windows on the new drive?

    My computer came with Windows 7.  Recently, my hard drive failed.  I have four recovery disks that after I bought my computer, I did.  These disks can be used to install Windows on the new drive?

    YES!

    I just did mine 01/01/2016, installed a new WD 500 GB HDD black on my laptop ASUS K52F, took my DVD 4 restore disks and restored to Win 7 Home Premium, more 10 Windows, which is sitting on my old HDD in the trash. I'll stick with my Original OEM OS and never improve to WIN 10 times.

    NOTE: The only time the restore disks do not work is when you replace your motherboard.

  • How to find if a scsi disk can be used as a ROW or only use not vsphere CLI.

    Hi, I want to know if the SCSI disk can be used as RDM and a remote computer running vSphere CLI.

    I tried to use 'vicfg-scsidevs - l', but it doesn't have the required information list

    ===============================================

    Here is sample out put

    MPX.vmhba0:C0:T1:l0

    Device type: disk

    Size: MB 69459

    Full name: disk space from VMware (mpx.vmhba0:C0:T1:L0)

    Plugin: NMP

    Device console: /vmfs/devices/disks/mpx.vmhba0:C0:T1:L0

    Devfs Path: /vmfs/devices/disks/mpx.vmhba0:C0:T1:L0

    Seller: VMware model: Block device Revis: 1.0

    SCSI level: 2 is nickname: status:

    : RDM Capable is removable:

    Other names:

    VML.0000000000766d686261303a313a30

    empty fields "Is Capable RDM" here.

    =======================================================

    When I executed the command 'esxcfg-scsidevs - l' on an ESX Server, he gave me the necessary info.

    MPX.vmhba0:C0:t0:l0

    Device type: Direct access

    Size: 138919 MB

    Full name: disk space from VMware (mpx.vmhba0:C0:T0:L0)

    Plugin: NMP

    The console device: / dev/cciss/c0d0

    Devfs Path: /vmfs/devices/disks/mpx.vmhba0:C0:T0:L0

    Seller: VMware model: Block device Revis: 1.0

    : SCSI 2 is Pseudo: false status: on

    : RDM Capable false is removable: false

    Is Local: true

    Other names:

    VML.0000000000766d686261303a303a30

    So is it possible for vSphere CLI through which we can tell if the SCSI disk device can be used as ROW or NOT?

    and what parameter defined as capable of RDM?

    Thank you

    Chandra Sekhar P.

    Hi Chandra,

    In order to get the SCSI LUNS that can serve as RDM, you must use the QueryConfigTarget method. This method is defined on EnvironmentBrowser. You need to recover some EnvironmentBrowser object ComputeResource the HostSystem where the virtual machine is created. The configTarget.ScsiDisk returned after the method call contains the logic unit number information that is capable of RDM.

    I hope this helps!

    Can I use the Windows key from another computer non-working on my computer? I took the key of this computer and used on my current computer, but I get a message indicating that the key is not authentic, even if it is directly from a previously active computer.

    Original title: Activation

    Hello

    No.; If the operating system on the other came computer preinstalled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) you can't use it on another PC.

    If the laptop/computer came with preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

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

    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.

    The issue here is not one of which version of Windows you are using.
    It is one of what you have installed applications.
     
    The answer is Yes, if you have WordPerfect (or some compatible)
    program) installed on Windows Vista. The answer is no, if you do not.
