Retail of Windows mobile 7 on a new computer

Hello!

I have Windows 7 Professional installed in a partition separated via bootcamp on my MacBook Pro. The operating system has been a purchase on shelf. The Mac starts to show its age and I am wanting to move to a new Macintosh soon.

When I install Win7 on the new Mac, how would I disable the license on the previous system so it can be used on the new?

Is this just a case to make sure the old drive is wiped clean (or destroyed), then use activation by phone for the new system?

Thank you.

It's not radiation process, Microsoft connect just the number of times a particular license is authenticated and if too often on hardware different base rejects the automatic authentication.

There is no direct limit how many times you as the owner of a retail sales license can install, only this can be installed on a single computer at a time.

It is likely that re authentication works automatically, but if it does not use the option phone but wait for an operator to detail the situation to. They will ask you to confirm that the original installation was removed and then issue an unlock code.

    Hello

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the former was preinstalled, NO, you cannot transfer it.

    Read this information:

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license 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.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, 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.

    You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.

    1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
    you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
    you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
    a copy (or a license) for each computer.

    There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
    effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

    2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
    the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
    computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
    OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
    It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
    computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer).

    Windows Vista I had installed on my old computer is a VERSION under LICENSE and the same one I want to use it on my new computer.  When I installed and activated the windows, he says it is hacked.  Should I allow myself the license if yes how.  It can be done from my old computer as it broke down. Need help.

    Hello

    It depends on the type of license you have, as to whether you can transfer it or not.

    Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

    OEM licenses are not transferable.

    If you have purchased your own license for sale retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

    Retail licenses are transferable.

  • How can I access my Microsoft Virtual PC on an external hard drive with Windows Virtual PC on my new computer?

    For a few years, I have been using a set of VPC on external hard drives (.vmc files both .vhd located on external drives) with the Microsoft Virtual PC/Virtual PC Console on a Windows XP computer. They worked perfectly.

    However, I just bought a new computer with Windows 7, and I'm unable to access the VPC on the external hard drive. I installed successfully, Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode on the computer, and I copied the file to the host machine's .vmc. However, when I try to open the virtual computer, I get a message saying that the VPC was "impossible to write in one of its virtual hard disks.

    I've tried everything I can think of, but the only thing that works is to copy the .vmc and .vhd in the computer file. The problem is that I use the VPC for training online, and I have 16 of them. If I copy everything in the computer, I will use all 500 GB of disk space.

    There must be a way to access the VPC for external drives. If I can do it on the old XP computer, it should be possible to do it on the new Windows 7 computer.

    Help, please.

    Thank you!

  • Updated Windows and transfer to the new computer with a new installation

    Hi I have an office of aging that I plan on upgrading within 12-15 months. I am currently under W7 and want to upgrade to 8.1. When I finally buy my new material under a BONE, me will be possible to transfer 8.1 overall with a full installation and not an image copied from my current position?

    Thanks for the tips

    To clarify my last sentence: If you buy Windows 8.1 full and use it to upgrade your old machine (Win 7), later when you buy your new computer and install 8.1, you will need to remove the old computer (it can only be activated on a PC at the same time).  So if you were to sell your old computer, legally you have to withdraw Windows 8.1.

  • Can I have Windows 8 removed on a new computer and install Windows 7Home Premium?

    I have a gateway Windows XP with 2 slots for RAM.  I just have to answer at least 1 GB of RAM required for Windows 7 upgrade. I would like to have more than just the minimum RAM.   I'm not sure that the increase in RAM by buying two 1 GB RAM is all that is required to upgrade to Windows 7 and still have a stable and reliable computer.  If I bought a new computer with installed Windows 8, Windows 8 could be removed and the Windows 7 Home Premium installed instead?

    Thank you.

    If you have an old XP PC with only 1 GB of RAM, it is not likely to Win7 or 8 to run at all.

    If you buy a new computer, you can downgrade (people feel it is really an upgrade) to Windows 7 only if you have Windows 8 Pro. It is not normally sold on consumer machines. You would have taken specially for her.  In this case, one lets you find a computer that comes with Windows 7 installed. There are still a few available for sale.

    If you just want to buy a copy of Win7 then you could install it on a computer that is running Win8.

  • Problem Mobile catalog to a new computer

    I'm trying to migrate to a new computer Windows.  I got the transfer of user data by a store of the local computer, and they did a brilliant job.  On my old computer, my user data were on C:, but on the new computer, C:\ is a SSD boot and data are on D:\.  In particular, active Lightroom (raw, tiff, etc.) were C:\Users\Owner\Pictures, but are now in D:\Users\John\Pictures.  I understand that there is a symlink in Windows that handles the change in the location of the user profile and practically my all programs were able to manage the passage of C:\ to D:\ automatically.  But not Lightroom.

    When I start Lightroom and open the catalog, all the thumbnails are the exclamation "Miss Photo" and all files in the files of the low owner Panel have the question mark.  If I look at the link of the folder in the metadata Panel (see below), I see the folder locations are hard coded in the catalog.  Lightroom does not use the symbolic link.

    Folder points to C drive.png

    What is the right way to get the catalog to point to the correct location?  I simply right click on owner? in the Panel of the records (see below), select "Find the missing folder", and then navigate to D:\Users\John?  It seems that this easy solution that I tried to do it without asking first. Or is there another / better way?

    find missing folder.png

    Under Lightroom CC (2015) Windows 7 64 bit.

    I simply right click on owner? in the Panel of the records (see below), select "Find the missing folder", and then navigate to D:\Users\John?

    Yes!

    Don't forget that you have at least two backup copies of your catalog and all your photos.  It is easy enough for readers to fail, but the risk increases when material changes.

    original title: new license for my WIN XP

    It seems that you bought an XP license retail.  If so, you can just install this same drive with the same license key on your new machine as your old machine is no longer operational.  A retail license should be transferable, while an OEM license is bound to the first machine that it has been installed on.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
     
    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  • I can't receive updates Windows 7 Pro on the new computer laptop

    The Windows 7 update does not communicate with Microsoft. After hours of waiting, the update does not connect to get my updates. I'm unable to download Virtual PC because of this. It is a new HP workstation. I called Microsoft to help, but after that 2 technicians worked remotely for hours, they told me that I have to be helped by a level 2 Tech. I made an appointment which was confirmed for 6-8 h, HE, but after 2 hours of waiting, I don't got no call! So I called Microsoft tech again once they apologized and made another appointment at 9:00 this morning, but still no call! How we get the shoring they need with insufficient help from Microsoft?

    This will not solve your problem. This is because default work insufficiently update clients. Also, your replacement computer, will show symptoms until KB3161647 included in KB3172605, is applied.
