Switching from Windows XP to updated PC

I would like to install my copy of Windows XP (legal and verified original CD) who lives on an old AMD system based on a new system of Intel dual core based. Microsoft will allow me to do? The old system is heading the tip/skip/jump/dumpster!

If it is a commercial version, Yes, you can move computer to
computer as many times as you want, as long as it's only on a
computer at a time.

But if it's an OEM version, its EULA it permanently binds to the first
computer, it is installed on, and it can never be moved to another.

  • Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

    Original title: improvement of the operating system.

    Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

    Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price.  You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.

    Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.  See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php

  • I think switching from Windows XP to Windows 7, but it seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

    I want to get rid of my security Computer Associates software. It overload my system.

    I believe that a combination of Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials and Web of Trust would do a good job.

    Switching from XP to Windows 7 seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

    I would appreciate any advice. I am a former novice

    Thank you

    Get rid of CA security software and do general maintenance on your system would probably go a long way to improve your computing experience.  See help! My computer is slow!

    Unless you plan to buy a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed, make sure that your hardware is compatible with Windows 7 (for the most part, this means that Windows 7 drivers are available; problems are more likely to occur with older laptops).  Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • Can I switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10

    Hello

    I have an older laptop that has been sitting in a drawer for nearly six months. I took it apart to see if I could update directly from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but when I put the charger - I don't remember if the charger is a new that I bought recently - something is is that I've never seen elsewhere: the screen started to Flash and came a message saying 'Register update' and then the starting numbers flashing on the screen until they match. Now I'm back to my home screen, but I wonder what treat all messages from 'Register' flashing - is - it is possible that the 'new' charger could have a negative effect on the PC? Can it cause a virus any?

    Finally, before I even try, is possible to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 without harming the laptop?

    Thank you

    Hi, thanks. I have upgraded to Windows 10 and that's fine. But thanks for the information.

  • Want to 700-329: how to switch from windows 8.1 for al profession windows 7 on Envy 700-329

    I'm fed up with the problems resulting from Windows 8.1, for example the program incompatibility, Slow / no response in browsers, particularly IE 11, forced to use touchscreen interface style on conventional monitor and so on and so forth. I have a license of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit for my Dell Vostro laptop. Can I use it on my HP Envy Office 700-329 to replace Windows 8.1?

    Hello:

    It is forbidden to transfer the license OEM of Windows or using product key OEM the Dell laptop on HP desktop computer.

    Please read the FAQ below... specifically...

    Q. my client bought a new PC and wants to move the OEM software from the old PC to the new. Users cannot do what they want with their software?

    A. no, the OEM software is licensed with the computer on which it was originally installed and system is linked to the original machine. OEM licenses are licenses for single use which cannot be installed on more than one computer system, even if the original machine is no longer in use. The 3668Microsoft Software License Terms, that the end user must accept before using the software, say that the license may not be shared, transferred or used concurrently on different computers. System integrators must provide support to the end user for the Windows license on build computers, they cannot support licenses on computers that they did not build. It is a fundamental reason why an OEM System Builder license cannot be transferred.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx#fBid=Q44RMvZYHTG

    If you want to buy a license support and installation of W7, you can use the W7 x 74 drivers and the software of this model on your own, except the BIOS and firmware files.

  • Switch from Windows Vista to Windows 7

    Dear all,

    I had Windows Vista installed on my laptop, but unfortunately lost the c: / and the license code for this.

    Question: can I uninstall what remains of Windows Vista on my laptop and install Windows 7 on it. I still have a license of the latter and I expect long term to be able to switch to Windows 10, free of charge.

    Please can you let me know what you think about this?

    Kind regards

    Friederike

    First of all, note that there is no way to uninstall any version of Windows. They only way to get rid of Vista is to format the drive, for example by installing another operating system itself. A clean install means that you will lose the entire computer, including all your personal data, so until this don't forget to make a backup of all your important files n external media.

    Secondly, you say that you have a license for Windows 7, but how did you? If you bought a copy retail, fine. But if it's an OEM copy (for example, if it came with another computer) you can not do this.

    Finally, note that the period for a free upgrade for Windows 10 expired on July 29.
