Hi guys, I am currently using Windows 8 on my macbook pro.

I plan on building a new pc and I was wondering if I uninstall BootCamp can I reuse the license on my new computer?

Thank you

Yes, you will need to reactivate but by telephone.

1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and 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.

Please note:

To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8.

  • Reuse of Windows 7 license after free update of Windows 10?

    Hi all!

    I was wondering if I'll be free to reuse my Windows 7 license key after the free upgrade to Windows 10 on July 29.

    I've already reserved my copy, and yes I'm very happy. The only problem I see is because it is a version of Windows 7 OEM for Sony VAIO, so maybe it will not work if I use it in a new computer? If I can in any?

    I hope that you guys understand my question and good day!

    Hello

    Your Windows 7 OEM license has become an integral part of the upgrade to Windows 10 process.

    If you cannot reinstall Windows 7 as a dual boot either in your Sony or move it to another computer.

    OEM licenses that you cannot transfer anyway.

    OEM licenses are tied to the first machine, on which they are installed and die when the machine that dies.

    See you soon.

  • Windows 7 license after upgrade of Windows 8

    Hello!

    I originally had this question in response to a similar question replied, but after a few days without response, I decided to re-post this on its on.
    I have an edition OEM Windows 7 Professional 64-bit install on my laptop, that I intend to upgrade to Windows 8 in the coming days. I also sell a car built desktop, so I can buy a tablet of Surface.  Q: after upgrading my laptop for Windows 8, which "releases" the license of Windows 7 so that the software can go with the desktop if I find a buyer, and they want to use it?
    NOTE: I'm not charge what for the operating system and it's completely optional. I don't want anyone to think they could get non-genuine Microsoft Software. I do not have the original packaging, but I have the original disc and the sticker with the 25 digit key.
    Thank you!
    RK.

    OEM licenses are not transferable, they are tied to the computer first that they are installed on the.

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.

    Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

    If the problem persists, go to method 3.

    Method 3:

    This method will install the latest drivers from device to your USB device.
