The reactivation of old vista on new pc

I just bought a new pc but am using my old copy of vista. My problem is that windows won't validate saying what its bein used elsewhere, how can I turn it back on my copy of windows?

If your copy of Vista I have a retail copy, it can be used to update or reinstall on another computer - but a single computer at a time.  If it was an OEM copy (which means it came with already installed on the system, it cannot be moved to another computer - it can only be used on the original computer it was installed on - you can not move it to another computer.)  It is tell aready that is used because it still thnks it's on the old computer.

To activate manually if it copies a detail, go to start, search box and type slui 4 and enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it is only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

If it is an OEM copy, then you need to buy another copy of Vista.  See the following for assistance: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • How to use the files from old computer to new iTunes

    I have been using an external hard drive to store and access my media files to iTunes via iTunes on another computer.   I just got a new computer and want to use this hard drive and files of music via iTunes on it.  What is the best way to do this and what are the steps to begin to play the files from the hard drive on the new iTunes?

    I have changed the preferences of the media folder in iTunes without result and sought media when iTunes opens, also without result.   Thank you!!!

    Media preferences are not what you think. Change said iTunes simply to memorize new media at this location. This is the file iTunes Library.itl tells iTunes where your media. If you use the same external drive (and these are the two Macs) copy the old iTunes folder form computer to the same location on the new computer and it will start with the old library.

  • I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer. If yes how can I do this?

    I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer.  If yes how can I do this?

    If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, 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.

    If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:

  • I had to change the Apple ID due to a new internet provider and the subsequent new e-mail address.  My iPhone and iPad constantly ask the password for my old user ID.  This is the password I know more knowledge or records.  What should do?

    I had to change the Apple ID due to a new internet provider and the subsequent new e-mail address.  My iPhone (5 c/9.3) continually pray for my old user ID password.  This is the password I know more knowledge or records.  How can I get the iPhone to recognize and use the new Apple ID rather than the old?

    What function or service on your phone asking you the code of the older?

    If iCloud, you must provide the Apple ID and the password that was used to connect. Call the Apple Support if you can't give it. They may be able to help. You are the original owner of the phone? You have the invoice/proof of purchase?

    Any service can be disconnected and then again.

  • Hi, I bought a new Iphone 6 s and made a backup of my old Iphone 5. The backup is visible in my new phone, but it is not clickable. Help someone?

    Hi, I bought a new Iphone 6 s and made a backup of my old Iphone 5. The backup is visible in my new phone, but it is not clickable. Help someone?

    Are you trying to access the backup during the initial installation or you have already install the new phone? If you already have the first installation, refer to the instructions below to transfer content from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support

    To transfer a backup on a device, you have already configured, you need to clear the device: tap Settings > General > reset > erase all content and settings. This erases all the data that is currently on your device. After you erased, your device will restart and you will see the screen of 'Hello '. Now, you can transfer a backup of your device.

    Hello @Mario28,

    I read your post about how you are curious about a heatsink and fan for a new CPU update on your computer, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    Because both processors are so close in the temperature and the heat output, the heatsink even you were using previously should still actually cool the new processor, so it is mounted correctly.

    I hope this helps!
