• How to swap between two computers, operating systems?

  Hello
  I recently bought two computers, a desktop computer and a laptop computer that both came to pre-installed operating system (I got the discs and the codes for two of them). The office is running on Vista 32 bit and the laptop is on a 64-bit version. But I want the opposite... I have not any chance to install the 64-bit version of the laptop on the desk and the 32-bit version of the desktop to the laptop computer. Personally, I own licenses for these two version, just do not know how can I save them to another computer. Please help me if you know the way how to do this swap... If there is place. Thank you!

  You can't do it; they came preinstalled (OEM licenses)

  OEM and retail licenses:

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  See you soon.

• Hard drive swapping and the operating system between two laptops of R61e

  I have a R61e who broke chassis. Not a left hinge broken, but broke up chassis where the left hinge connects.

  I have the opportunity to buy a used one with no operating system.

  Both are of type 7650 and all have two 80 GB hard drive.

  Will it work if I just reverse this HARD drive with the operating system for the new portable computer?

  Yes, it should work without major problems.

  In the worst cases, you need to update to a couple of pilots.

  Good luck.

• Share firefox profile between multiple operating systems.

  I recently installed windows on a virtual hard disk 8 (my primary OS is Windows 7) and I was wondering if it was possible to share the same profile of firefox on the two operating systems. I have ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/utilities/profilemanager/Profile Manager, but when I tried to make a new profile to the place of my main profile, he instead made a subdirectory under my main profile. Is that what I can do to share the profile between the two? I could always use sync, but I would like to share my addons, if possible.

  Hey AQHEEL

  If a windows operating system comes preinstalled LG HP Acer etc it is classified as an oem license and is linked to the original computer that it is installed

  It cannot be transferred to another computer

  a retail license may be transferred to another computer, but cannot be installed on several computers at the same time

  A single license of windows = a windows installation

  You can't do what you want to do

• Can I use Lightroom CC between two Macs with different versions of the operating system

  I have the CC for photographers. I keep my work to Dropbox LR catalog and access them from my MacBook Air laptop or my desktop iMac computer. Currently, two computers are running the same version of Mac OS. I think to upgrade the laptop for the new OS of Sierra, but because the office is older, I thought maybe not upgrade (it is near the minimum end of systems that can run Sierra). Can someone tell me if there is a conflict with the help of the LR catalog between two computers if they are not both running the same version of Mac OS. When the catalog is saved in the operating system that you are starting, it would still be compatible for use on the computer with the previous version of Mac OS? Thank you! Barbara

  If the machines use the same version of the software, then the files should be feasible in both machines.

• Download XP Home on computers than rn on Vista operating systems

  I bought a Lap Top that runs on the Vista operating system.  I have my work on a Dell under XP Home machine and want to put the whole package of XP on the Lap Top which has Vista.  I was told that it was impossible, that it can only be charged on a unit of Dell.  I have the XP original software still sealed and never loaded on a computer, so I don't think I would be breaking the laws.  The company I worked for arrangements made with Dell for employees who worked at home to buy hundreds of computers and had them loaded with all the software that they require.  This is the package of XP Home and Dell sent the discs sealed to buyers.  I was one of the buyers and have a new series.  The problem is that it's going to work or Vista shot of it.  I am a novice and you worry mess up Vista and everything I have on the computer.

  Someone, please ME SAY it IS OK AND HOW to LOAD it.

  Windows, any version, does not come with spreadsheets or excel from MS Office, which contains.
  Win is an operating system only, it contains no other software
  If you want to MS Office, or any other software, you must purchase it

  The only thing that you can transfer from one PC to another are your data files and all commercial versions of the software that you have purchased

  If you buy a PC with MS Office, while the desktop version is also related to this PC, it has been installed previously on and cannot be transferred to another PC.
  You cannot transfer commercial versions of the software that you have purchased a new PC

  In your case, it would seem that your old Dell PC, available with Windows XP home also had MS Office, none of them can be transferred to a new PC

  And no clip has not transferred to winxp home of your Dell to your Compaq, which would have been impossible

• Sharing of content between the guest operating system

  Hello

  Y at - it a simple way to share content between operating systems.

  We have invited several BONES that make similar task. Run us simultaneously with the slightly different variant, but basically, most of the files that are needed in each guest operating system are the same.

  What I want to achieve is to build a repository of centralized files accessible across operating systems. I'm running Win7 and WinXP Win2008 OSes on ESXi 5 comments.

  I found this thread, but it is too old.

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/630923#630923

  I'm hoping there have been changes since that thread has been discussed.

  Thank you

  Well, I can't tell you much about the user experience expected without knowing the network load. However, if install you the file server as an another VM on the same host, you will have at least a 1GBit/s connection between the virtual machines.

  I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard on both of my computers.

  Some time previously, one crashed my computer and I had to reinstall the operating system and all applications.

  After you install Acrobat 9 special and differential treatment in the computer once, I wanted to update the update of the version 9.0.0 software to the same level as it was before the crash and that the other computer has version named 9.5.5.

  The update to version 9.0.0 system does not at all. 'There is no update' listed in the dialog box.

  Can you advise how to get my Adobo Acrobat 9 Standard (Version 9.0.0) could be updated to the same level it had before the accident.

  Host-Only is VMnet1, you used only NAT. static use of intellectual property and switch to DHCP for now. Make sure that the VMWare DHCP Server service is running. Put network cards in comments to "host-only '.

  Post your host ' ipconfig/all'.

• VMPlayer newbie - switch back and forth between the host and the guest operating system

  I am newbie to VMPlayer. I just installed VMPlayer 3.0.0 build-203739 on Red Hat Linux 5 (host). Then I created a VM comments Kubuntu (8.10). So far so good. In the VMPlayer window, I selected 'play Virtual Machine '. After this, the host operating system controls disappeared and I could see a taskbar on the top of my screen and I could also see Kubuntu startup (in an area of the small window in the center of the screen). The problem I'm running is that I'm not able to navigate outside of this area of the small window. I'm not even able to click/Select the taskbar of VMPlayer top of the screen. The mouse movement is limited to the area of the small window. How to and fro my host and the guest operating system? Is there a key combination? I finally had to stop my VM guest to return to the control of my host system. I guess it's a problem quite newbie that I am running. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello, welcome to the forum

  Host Windows to switch between comments and the OS (when you are in the guest operating system), you must use ctrl + alt.

  According to this link , it's the same thing in Linux host too.

  >Default VMware Player uses key combination Ctrl + Alt to jump out of the guest. Then CTRLAltdel is accessible via theAltInsert command. If you find this annoying, you can change the jump shortcut to CtrlAltshift by adding the following lines to your ~/.vmware/preferences:

  > pref.hotkey.shift = "true".

  > pref.hotkey.control = "true".

  > pref.hotkey.alt = "true".

  After your installation OS in the virtual machine, install "VMware Tools" on it so you will get better performance and some improvements (like moving your mouse out of guest to your host operating system operating system and Vice Versa, or be able to copy beyond host/guest, better resolution on reviews and...)

  I hope it helps a bit.
