Transfer the Windows XP operating system to a new computer that has vista?

My new computer had Windows vista but it is destroyed by a virus, and I lost the drive of vista.
My old computer has Windows XP OS, computer is not usable, but I have the product key and the reinstallation CD. Am I allowed to install on the new machine?

If XP is initially pre-installed on your old computer: NO; You can not install it on another computer.

If XP was preinstalled on your computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

This also applies if you had a license OEM/disc you purchased yourself.

The license of XP 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 XP 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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the replacement of Vista disk:

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  • Is there a practice of the Windows Server operating system environment?

    I'm looking to get some practice with the Windows Server operating system (2008 or other).  I came across the downloadable 180 trial period, but I don't mean to create a true server temporarily.  I'm looking to be able to have a completely 'virtual world' where I can actually add devices and simulate connect with different computers, etc.  I want to create an environment of virtual server completely, not the 180-day trial period where I create an environment that can have real computers to connect to it.  Such a thing exists?

    For example, I used a program called Packet Tracer that allows me to simulate the addition of routers, switches and high-end devices to create a whole network of Physics in a virtual environment.  I can configure devices with IP address and all that I can learn how to build a physical network.  I would like to do with the operating system Windows Server if possible.

    Thank you.

  • It is not uncommon for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I create these extra images that appear spontaneously myself this system should be obliging. I have 12 items and the Windows 7 operating system.

    I have 12 items and the Windows 7 operating system. It is not uncommon for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I'm not creating these additional images myself, so must be the system. Deletion (including from the HDD) do not help. Can anyone help please?

    1. the only way to image files be automatically added to the catalog is to enable the option "watch folders" in the file menu and choosing not to have the Organizer warn you of any additions. If these files are already in the catalog they should be ignored, only new files should be added.

    2. otherwise, there is a downloader option to ignore duplicates when you import from card reader or the camera to avoid importing several times the same card.

    The organiser considers that the files are duplicated when they have the same "date taken" and the size in KB.

  • PNY attached 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive recognized but does not work under the Windows 7 operating system

    I have an attached PNY 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive that works perfectly on Windows XP. But when I try to use it on a Windows 7 operating system, it is very few recognized by Windows 7. I mean at least, is that when I look for the device by exploring 'Computer' in the menu start the device does not appear at ALL. However, when I go to control panel-> hardware and sound-> devices and printers, it shows a device called "DISK 2.0" which I believe are 'minimum' recognition of this 8GB flash drive, I was talking about. Can someone help me get the recognition for this camera on Windows 7? Thank you.

    Edit: I noticed in Device Manager-> USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE-> Propteries the following for my optical mouse Microsoft and the PNY 8 GB flash drive

    The Microsoft Optical mouse is the location: Port_ #0001.Hub_ #0004

    On the MagicJack (USB Composite device) is the location: Port_ #0002.Hub_ #0007

    On the flash drive is the location: 0000.001d.0002.002.000.000.000.000.000

    3rd place property looks pretty weird (Im assuming that third location data for the flash player, since the only other USB devices are my Microsft mouse and the MagicJack I know is a composite device, but I'm wrong.  AMD Athlon 64 3200 + 1GIG memory ATI Radeon X800XL 250gig W.D. hard drive

  • need of five advantages and disadvantages of the windows 2000 operating system

    I'm looking for five the advantages and disadvantages of windows 2000 for my children ok operating system

    I can't get to five of each, but...

    Windows 2000 has been designed more as an OS company than a House, so should be the characteristics that probably would not need a home user. Plus it's really, REALLY old that dare go, and there is no support for it (end of July 2010). There is not much more for new audio and video devices driver support. It is not really designed for the game, if that's what they have to.

    You do not mention their age and what level of expertise they have. Don't forget that with EOS, there is no update security more released for it.
