Updated Vista good together when buying new laptop

As far as I am informed buyers of a Toshiba laptop with preinstalled OEM Windows XP have a voucher to receive a license of Vista update for little money that it is proposed and discussed between Microsoft and OEM partners.

This is made possible, for those who buy a new laptop or desktop starting up this March 2007.with 26.10.2006 an OEM-version Windows XP pre-installed in order to offer these customers the option to boot with Vista Home Edition, Professional Edition, or Media Center Edition.
Is - this true message? If so, do the customers who bought this year earlier a Toshiba laptop, because they had to, also have a possibility to get this good?

Hey John

I heard the same information on Vista credit notes.
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=2006-09-Vista-capable-en

More I read somewhere on the net that all those who buy a new Windows XP Pro up to March 2007 can get a Windows Vista more or less for free.
But I put t know exactly if it of right.

  • Buying new laptop: what MBP?

    Intend to transfer years of programming, about 50-60 patches with associated channel strips and audio samples, of a 2010 MBP running OS 10.8.5 MS 2.1.3 to a whole new MBP and OS. Think a model 13 "with 8 GB of RAM, but looking for recommendations on what will work best. SSD? Flash drive? More RAM? Thanks for your comments.

    I do NOT recommend to get a model 13 ".  In addition to reading a lot of posts on various forums to audio/CPU questions when Mainstage is run on a machine of 13 ", I was also witness to these issues at first hand on several machines of 13".  In all cases, there was massive CPU questions and audio problems, especially when the MainStage is in Mode run.  The use of the processor in Mode run was literally 50-70% MORE than mode "Edit"... I couldn't believe it, and it took place on different computers that are running both the same and different concerts with various audio interfaces and MS.  Some have tried MS running in low resolution Mode (which is very ugly) and others have tried to use the MS in "Edit" mode.   I have a couple of friends who have bought machinery 13 "specifically to run MainStage concerts (because 13" models are cheaper) and after weeks of frustration, they sold these machines to be or they eventually used for non-musical purposes.  Personally, I believe that these issues are due to 13 "models do not have a discrete graphics card and because MS is so strong intense graphics, the CPU simply cannot manage it.

    I highly recommend, highly get a 15 "model, preferably with 16 GB of RAM and an SSD.

  • -Vista Basic to Windows 7 - easy transfer old and new laptops

    After facing a lot of difficulty with the Vista and bluescreen mistakes, now I changed the idea of keeping vista more. Got a new laptop from Dell with Windows 7.

    Now again, the problem is, when I tried to use the transfer via the cable, the program responds to microsoft and the Service Pack update. Considering that, my vista update does not appear any new update available from the windows update menu shortcut start. I followed the instructions as stated, but again and again, I wonder the service pack update.

    I visited the Microsoft Web site to download the stand-alone software for this purpose. Is it specific to any other software available for transfer easty, that it installs old laptop with Vista Home Basic?  If the service pack is available for this specific update separately, I'll download it from microsoft and install it. I have woul like to get the good link for the same thing.

    Just for your info, I give below details of the old & new details of the laptop:
    Old - Compac Pressario C500, Vista Home Basic,
    New: Dell Inspiron 1440, Windows 7.

    Grateful for your advice on this.

    Thanks and best wishes,

  • Cannot CS4 update on the new laptop running Windows 7 64 bit

    I just upgraded a laptop slow 2 years running Vista 32-bit to a new laptop Asus G73JW running under Windows 7 64-bit. It's a laptop very fast with 8G of RAM, 1.5 GB dedicated graphics card, res HD full 1920 x 1080-player in solid state for the use of a disk etc. It's a beast of a laptop that starts completely in 10 seconds approximately and it was built for HD players. Needless to say I'm pretty excited to be able to work on my favorite Adobe software, which is mostly Photoshop and Premiere Pro.

    All about the laptop works fine but... I installed my CS4 Production Premium without issue, however, the Adobe update will not work. I tried about 10 times now, reboot, try various programs to try updates etc, nothing works. They are updated very important, because the software will not properly work in several programs without the updates. I can't find anything on this specific issue, someone has had this problem with Windows 7 64 bit?

    FYI, everything has worked with Vista 32 bit, including updates.

    I'm quite frustrated now and I just want to start using the software, and I would really appreciate any suggestions that anyone can have.

    I already have an e-mail in Asus to see if the latest NVidia GTX 460 M driver graphics card can be updated on my system. There are a few other drivers that I try to update as well to see if that will help.

    Thank you in advance,

    Aaron

    Hello

    You can install and activate the perpetual software (purchased) two computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you use it on one at a time.

    For deactivation refer:- https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activate-deactivate-products.html

    If you do not have access to your old computer because you have replaced a hard drive, upgraded your operating system to format your computer before you deactivate your software or your computer is dead, you can ask Adobe Support to help you disable from a machine, you cannot access. Have your serial number or Adobe ID ready, then contact us.

    To load the software on another computer, download and install it as you did on the first computer. Then enter your serial number to activate it.

    I have first items 13, recently installed on a new laptop of Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series. The program works very well. However, when I have access to the program, I get a message that there is an update available, 13.1. I let him go ahead and do the update before using the program. It only updated, then restarts first elements 13. As soon as the program loads, I again get the message that 13.1 update is available. How to stop the happy ground?

    RTA,

    Thank you very much for your answers. As you suggest, I went to the help/updates and found that 3 points were scored update, Manager, 13 Photoshop and first elements 13 elements. On a hunch, instead uncheck one of them, I thought I'd see what would happen to let update all 3. It took a while, but, long story short, stopped the happy Vangogh and everything seems fine. Thank you for your messages, much appreciated.    Walt Maken

    If its a version upgrade of Windows 7, you cannot use it, because you will need to have a qualifying earlier version of Windows to be able to use the version upgrade (Windows XP or Vista).

    If it's a commercial version full, then you can use and reactivate by phone:

    How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
     
    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.
     
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
     
    (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
     
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
     
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-us

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
