Uninstall Windows and install in the Virtual Machine on the same computer
I have an old Dell computer that ALLOWS you to have Windows XP Professional is installed. I have installed on it now Ubuntu (Linux) and Windows XP has disappeared. The computer came with Windows XP Professional installed when I got it. However, I still have the installation disc. My question is, would it not possible or legal to use the installation disc to install Windows XP Professional on a VM on the computer even though I still have the product key?
Hello
This is legal, Yes, the question is: 'is possible', and depends on every time that you have a Windows XP OEM key or not, if that is the case, then you can install it, but you can activate ever, the key can be used only once by the motherboard (VM motherboard change). If its if retail is key then its no problem at all.
The sticker will tell you this. If it says or OEM and the OEM COA. otherwise its so retail in most cases.

I have Windows xp and Vista on the same computer, my fligth Simulator is on xp. How do I play for vista or I need to install Island all on vista
Hi, CPC,.
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
You must install Flight simulator on vista as well as Windows Xp and vista are two different operating systems.
You log in to vista, you may not use any of the XP application and vice versa.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

Is it possible to have the 64-Bit and 32-bit operating system installed on the same computer?
* Original title: installation of window OS
Hi all
In my system, it's already installed 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to install 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Is it possible to have two operating system installed on the same computer? Can I do it?
PL, guide me positively.
Best regards
Kapil Kumar.
The amount of RAM is okay as long as you have a minimum of 2 GB installed. Even if you have more than 4 GB, it would not matter, Windows 7 Home Premium just won't recognize it.
In respect with the both, you can set up a dual-boot configuration. Please note that you must have a unique product key to activate Windows 7 Home Premium.
See the instructions how to set up a partition:
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/dual-boot-Windows-10-other-versions-Windows/
References Windows 10, but the same instructions for Windows 7 also work.
Click Start, right-click computer, click on manage
Click on disk management
Select the system partition in which Windows 10 is installed. Right-click, and then click on cut.
Enter the amount of space you want to allocate to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, then click on cut. The more, the better.
An unallocated partition will now be available. Right-click, and then click New Simple Volume
This will start the wizard new Simple Volume, which will allow you to format, assign a drive letter and volume label.
Once your partition is ready, you are now ready to install Windows 7
Boot from the Windows 7 Home Premium disc, then
Click Custom (advanced option)
Select the partition we created earlier, and then click Next.
Wait for the copy of the Windows installation files.

Can Veristand 2009 and 2010 Veristand be installed on the same computer?
I have VS2009 on my machine. I would like to install VS2010 as an eval to start porting more implementation to VS2010 before I pull the plug on VS2009. These bothe perhaps installed and functional-by-side on the same machine? Are there objections to bounce back between the two? I already have the prereqs listed on page eval VS2010 (NOR-DAQmx 9.1.5, NOR-RIO 3.5 and NOR-XNET 1.1).
On the same computer, you can have NI VeriStand 2009 and 2010. If you have developed an application in 2009, you can migrate to 2010 using the tool of mutation in 2010. However, you won't be able to open a project from 2010 in 2009. For example, if you have any custom devices or personalized workspace objects/tools they have developed in the same version of LabVIEW that NI VeriStand. In other words, NI VeriStand 2009 can only use the custom devices created in LabVIEW 2009 and NI VeriStand 2010 can use custom peripheral performance created in LabVIEW 2010.

Can a genuine windows installation be legally installed on the same computer more than once
I had the unconscious idea that a person can install windows as much as they want as long it is on the same computer and it has the same material, but it may be a different partition. So I guess I can legally install MS Windows Vista, 7 or xp as many times as I want as long as it is on the same computer. Maybe that's how integrators.
Thank you.
Hello
Yes, you can install the same copy of windows on the same computer as many times as you want and activate for any number of times.

Flash CS4 can be installed and run on the same computer as Flash CS3?
I will be able to install Flash CS4 and keep Flash CS3? I can run both at the same time on the same computer?
I have several projects I want to maintain that in Flash CS3 for various reasons. If I have to put in place a separate computer to develop in CS4, I would like to know in advance.
Thanks in advance.You should be able to. CS4 install in a separate Directory of CS4. I currently have a system running suite CS3 and Flash 8 and InDesign CS2 web! From time to time, the system is confused between Flash 8 and Flash CS3 to open when you click on a FLA file in Windows Explorer by default. But apart from that, there is no issue.
I intend to get CS4 and still keep Flash 8 and CS3, simply because I've been working with people around the world who don't bother to upgrade.

Fusion and Parallels on the same computer?
A few months ago, I went from Fuiosn 3.0 to Parallels 5 mainly to see if Parallels would be faster on my iMac (it was). I like parallel, but all-in-all, I liked the Fusion experience, better, I used a little unity and Fusion felt less intrusive on Mac. So finally my question: is it possible to install Parallels and Fusion on the same machine, without a lot of interference between them, since they have both fact their integration with MAC OS X. I do not really want to run them at the same time, but just have both installed, so I can try one and then the other. I'm guessing it's something stupid and prone to problems, but I wanted to see if anyone else had tried, and what has been their experience.
I tried to search but the only things I found were in 2007 and 2008.
I have two Parallels and VMware Fusion installed on my MacBook Pro and have no problem having both installed at the same time however I have not run them at the same time, neither do I.

LabVIEW 6.1 and 2012 at the same computer problem
Hello world.
I've been using Labview 6.1 for a while and it worked fine for me.
I recently installed Labview 2012 on the same computer and looks like the serial port of functions do not work properly. Whenever I try to open an example of VISA communication, labview freezes.
I guess it's because even though I can install two versions of labview in the same computer, the drivers can be installed once correct?
But I thought that labview 6.1 and 2012 may share the same VISA driver.
Is there a way I can resolve this problem with versions of labview works correctly?
Thanks in advanc.
The LabVIEW and VISA compatibility chart is here. As you can see, there is no version of NI-VISA which is compatible with the two 2012 and your old 6.1. Indeed, the graphic poster not only any version of older than 7.1.1 LabvIEW.
