The user under Windows license only have re - install disk

I have a legitimate license to Windows XP version that came with my gateway computer and my motherboard crashed and I replaced it but NOW my reinstallation disk will not install with the new motherboard. Can I get a full version of windows without buying the program again?

Hello laurel1987

I'm afraid it's bad news.

Yours is an OEM system and the copy of XP you have is related to the original motherboard.  This means that if you replace the motherboard, you will need to buy another copy of XP to install on it.

Read this quote

In general, software OEM cannot be transferred from one system to another system.  However, the computer system can certainly be updated with new components without the requirement of a new software license.  The only exception to this is the motherboard.  If the motherboard is replaced the computer system is considered to be 'new' and a new licence would be required

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  • Tecra A8-185 - the update of the BIOS under Windows 7?

    Hi again,

    I have a question how update of the BIOS under Windows 7 ultimate x 64. I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS for my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A8-185 PTA83E). After having unpacked there is only the .exe file.

    When I try to run this file, he said, that my OS is not supported. When I run it in compatibility mode (with Vista or XP), it starts the upgrade, but gives me an error: "the BIOS upgrade is failure (8). BIOS is not able on this configuration. "What should I do? I really need a new BIOS.

    Can I run it at the start of the USB key, or whatever?

    Hi offi55

    Why do you need a new BIOS? You may notice some problems with the laptop or why are you trying to update?

    However, I think that the update should only be done on the pre-installed Windows version (XP or Vista). I guess that this update n t tested and designed to update Windows 7 so I think that would be the reason why you can t.

    So to install Windows from the Toshiba Recovery disk and try to update again. It should work.

  • Only in the last days, Windows will ONLY open in Mode without failure. I don't know why?

    Only in the last days, Windows will ONLY open in Mode without failure. (I have made some changes myself)

    I tried everything I knew how to do, without success.

    It must be clarified...

    Which of the following statements apply to your problem:

    1 when you started the computer you tried to log in normal mode, it wouldn't, and you needed to go to safemode manually in order to identify you.
    If so, was there an error message?

    2. When you start the computer, it went automatically in safe mode.
    If so, try this...

    Login in safe mode > start button > in the search box, type msconfig > Enter > at the top, click on start > make sure that there is NO check mark in front of Safe Boot > make sure that there is NO check mark anywhere in this window > click OK when finished.

    Hello

    After a reinstall of the operating system, you must reinstall the latest drivers from your computer manufacturer's website:

    Go to the website to make your computer > Driver and Software Support Section > search your computer or hardware model number > then your operating system > locate the correct drivers > download and install.

    ________________________________________

    And you do not tell us why you did a reinstall and if there reboot/freeze before you did this reinstall.

    FYI: Desktop computers normally are Wi - fi unless you install additional hardware for this.

    ________________________________________

    Noise inside a desktop computer can be caused by fan/s or harddrives about to fail.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > search your computer specifications > know brand of hard drive > access the Hard Drive manufacturer's Web site > find and download hard drive Diagnostic software and make a record of start of it on the computer that you use to get here, following their instructions > test your hard drive...

    See you soon.
