Transfer of Windows XP Professional & Office 2007 to the new PC
I bought my current PC with Windows XP Professional & Office 2007 already installed so no CD or the key provided, and the company I bought to is no longer in business so no help there.
I bought a new PC without OS and I'm looking for a way in which I can transfer my operating system existing Windows XP and Office Suite for my new PC, or I have to buy a new version of these two which, as I've already paid for them once, seems a little unfair.

You can't transfer legally of the operating system (Windows XP Pro) because the license for your OEM (preinstalled) version is valid only for the computer on which it was initially installed.
However, you should be able to transfer Office 2007. Use a tool such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to determine the CD key for your Microsoft Office installation and then ask Microsoft for a new CD. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246

I have a new computer with Windows 7 Professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I just created a word document and tried save it in PDF format, but the PDF option does not appear in the menu dropdown. Any ideas please? Thank you.
What is "Adobe XI" - Reader or Acrobat?
But, "Save as Adobe PDF" is a function of Word, independent of this Adobe software, you have installed.

Installed Windows 7 on a laptop last night.
Old system: Vista & Windows Mail
New system: Windows 7 Ultimate (64) & Outlook 2007Prior to installation, we have saved copies of records of e-mail and address books for the two users on a disk partition. These same files are also still available in windows.old.
Import in Outlook 2007 feature, I cannot select a directory where the old files/email address. He just made a kind of research and can't find anything.
I wish that prospects to find them and convert a PST file but can't seem to make it work. I tied each combination in the functionality of Outlook 'import' and even tried to drag the old emails in the outlook Inbox (just create a new email with the .eml attachment file)What should I install Windows mail, that he could recognize the old addresses / and then inport to Outlook? Maybe then Outlook will look for them in their actual location?
A little frustrated...
How did your question related to Windows Update, Al?
You cannot import data from Windows Mail directly in Outlook. See...
How TO migrate [Windows mail] Outlook (when you have only the message store files)
http://www.HOWTO-Outlook.com/HOWTO/migratefromoewlm.htm#FILES_ONLYIn your case, you must first download/install Windows LIVE Mail and then import data from Windows Mail in this e-mail client. After that, you can EXPORT data from Windows LIVE Mail to Outlook (compared to import the data into Outlook).
Yes, this is all very confusing. Adding to the confusion:
1. you must set Windows LIVE Mail as your default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) item Set Program Access and computer by default in Win7 before any function send to or MailTo will become available.
2. you will find general support for all e-mail Win7 Clients in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads
3. you will find support for Windows Live Mail in this public newsgroup:
http://www.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?DG=Microsoft.public.Windows.live.mail.desktop4. you will find support for Outlook in these forums as well as in this public newsgroup:

I'm considering buying a computer with Windows 7. Is there a driver for my Canon Multipass F50 printer? I have Office Professional for XP - can I load office software on the new computer with Windows 7?
Page drivers Canon MultiPASS F50 & the downloads shows nothing for Windows 7 (or even for Vista), so I doubt that it works.
Microsoft Office XP is not compatible with Windows 7. Office 2003 and Office 2007 are.
I wish I had better news for you. :-(

My Windows 7 Professional Office system disk has been corrupted and I took the opportunity to install a SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is in place and running on the SSD, with my old drive system now used for storage as it is still readable. The only product Adobe, that I reinstalled so far is drive XI but I would like to reinstall items 8 and Acrobat 9 without occupying more licenses that both are also installed on my laptop. Can you tell me the best way to do it? -Thank you

I want to install Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?
You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.
If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.
Hello
OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.
An OEM license is not transferable.
And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.
There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...
You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.
See you soon.

I'm upgrading to a new PC. How can I transfer my Acrobat Adobe Student Edition XI to the new PC?
Your license allows you to have two facilities enabled, so you can keep the original as a backup, if you prefer. If this is not the case, while the minimum you need to do with the old installation is to disable this feature by opening the program and by selecting help-> Deactivate.
To get the software on the new machine, you must install using the installation files and your serial number.

Windows 7 Professional - impossible to pass the beta Office 07 to 2010.
Hello
I came here looking for help with a problem I had. I run Windows 7 Professional 32-bit and I installed Office home and Student 2007. It does not come with the editor and I need a quick project so I downloaded the beta of Office 2010. The problem I've been is I chose the upgrade (previous versions of Office) during the installation for the beta version, it starts to install and gets all the way to the end and then after like 5 or 10 minutes sitting at the end (full progress bar), it starts to pull on this error:
"Error 1712: a required file to restore your computer to a previous State could not be found." He said something like that and it just repeating me it again and again until I have to cancel Setup. I looked at other places where the solutions. I tried the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to try to remove some 2010 can be run in when installing it is. I have redownloaded both Setup and delete all the files of 2010 and the registry keys that have been left behind and I always get this error when you try to upgrade.
I hope you can help out me.
Thank you!
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.
1. you should not spend 2007 a beta of 2010. The program may have had this option, but you shouldn't take it.
2. actually, I think that you should uninstall your 2007 before you install the BETA 2010 version.
3. never use a BETA version on a production machine (only in a test environment), and if you don't have a test computer, so I would be very cautious about installing a Beta version on your machine.
