Transfer the license Windows 8 on hard drive blank

I get together for a custom PC parts, but it is of course not cheap.  However, if I can cut $100 off the total cost, it would be great.  Because I don't want to sacrifice to get a good GPU or CPU, I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer my installation of Windows 8 of my Toshiba laptop to blank disc of the new machine.  Most of the other questions in this forum ask questions about upgrading Windows using another installation of PC, or Windows easy transfer from a PC preinstalled to another; Please keep in mind that I want to transfer Windows Setup my laptop to a new PC (custom).  All answers are appreciated.  Thank you!

Hello

No.; You can't use it on another PC.

If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, Toshiba, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

OEM product/license key (operating systems pre-installed on (Dell, HP, Toshiba, machines etc.) and OEM System Builders license are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when the machine who dies.)

Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

See you soon.

  • You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

    Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

    I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

    What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

  • How to transfer the license of Windows 8 on a new computer

    I upgraded an old machine to low spec from win 7 to win 8. The pc is old and while Win8 works ok, I bought a new top spec I want to transfer the license to. I will not keep or sell the old machine.

    There's a chance after running the upgrade wizard that the new machine can have questions that would abandon the installation.

    Could someone advise best used to go to this please. The same question would apply also for example is an existing machine died and I wanted to reuse the license to a new machine

    Thanks in advance

    The phone activation is not available on weekends, its best do you during the week.

    If do not want to format the old machine, then its best you just uninstall the license, just in case you decide to come back.

    Press the Windows key + X

    Click prompt (Admin)

    At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs - upk

    Press enter, this will uninstall the product key of the computer and to the evaluation mode, you are now free to use it on another computer.

  • Hi, I have a problem in the installation, how to install acrobat 8.1 pro in 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise is existing in Windows XP.  I just want to transfer the license Adobe pro 8 Windows 7 64 bit. What is the procedure?

    Hi, I have a problem in the installation, how to install acrobat 8.1 pro in 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise is existing in Windows XP.  I just want to transfer the license Adobe pro 8 Windows 7 64 bit. What is the procedure?

    You need to install 8 AA on the new OS with your current S/N (the license allows 2 installs). After the installation, do all the updates if you expect any chance of 8 AA to run on the system. If the updates will be installed not in the menu help, then go to ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/ and install updates in the order. People seem to have been successful with 32 - bit systems and some have reported success with a 64 bit system. After installation, print something to the Adobe PDF printer to make sure it works. If this works, you should be in good shape as printing treat the bottleneck. There is a solution, but you shouldn't have it.

    If all works well, then go back to the old machine and disable this installing and uninstalling. Don't forget that your configuration is not supported by Adobe. It seems with every new version of Windows, MS seeks to make the user to upgrade the other hardware and software for compatibility. There may be legitimate reasons for this action, but the game just seems to be Ms.
