Upgrade to Windows Mobile 8.1 different using

I have two laptops, one with windows 8.1 and an old one with windows 7. Can I use version 8.1 to change or update the one with windows 7 so it compatible?

[Original title: software update]

You will need to purchase a new license for the older laptop.

You can buy a new license for Windows 8.1 to http://www.windows.com/buy

Does not support license or recovery created from the new laptop to old day.

This is because the new laptop has what is called an OEM license.

OEM of Windows versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

Make sure that you back up your system before the upgrade to Windows 7:

    Hello and welcome to the forums. I replied to this on the tail of your previous post, but re-post here for you:

    If your phone is branded AT & T, then the treo750_2_23_row_en_desktopupdater is not the correct download for your phone. the best upgrades for your phone would be on support for the 750 ATT page, found here:

    I bought the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade and it loaded on my computer.  However, it was not compatible, so I had to remove and restore the previous operating system.  Can I give the Windows 7 software to someone else to use?

    Yes, as long as it is not installed no more and you transfer the license key and the media, you should be fine.

  • Shyould I use anytime upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, or buy a separate Windows 7 Ultimate product key?

    Hi, I am in the same situation.

    I just bought a preinstalled HP Win 7 Pro system and have now discovered that I need Win 7 Ultimate to create a disc hard virtual bootable from it.

    I am trying to decide if I should do the Express upgrade to Ultimate or if I have to buy a separate license for ultimate Win 7. I don't want to waste money on the upgrade first then I should still buy the license full. I guess it's the case that j. Miner is.

    J.Miner, you said that you already updated your Windows 7 Pro to ultimate before to a virtual hard disk from him. I don't suppose you aready active Win 7 Ultimate host after that upgrade, or upgrade process should do.

    This means that when you perform the VHD, activation is removed.

    Also how did the virtual hard disk. Have you used sysprep, imagex or disk2vhd. Things I've read, it seems that both sysprep and imagex will remove some information to generalize the boot image is not the case of disk2vhd.

    Please let me know how you have progressed with this exploration, so I can do the same thing if you got him.

    Windows 7 is no longer available via Windows Anytime Upgrade, you will need to either buy a full version or upgrade version Windows 7 Ultimate license and use the product key with the Express upgrade.

    Full version-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

    Version upgrade-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade

    If the license for Windows 7 Ultimate, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Ultimate. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Ultimate edition at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate files the stored settings and programs.

  • I will be eligible for the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8?

    OK, so I have a Dell PC with Windows 7, but there are LOTS of screenshots.

    Well, here it is:

    1. it is a laptop computer Dell Latitude D620, manufactured in June 2005 and in almost continuous use since then. It is still surprisingly running at full pace without any sign of imminent death, the only thing replaced after being the DVD drive by me a few months ago. However, it was for a reason any sold by some obscure computer store in Oregon that no longer exists with... you guessed it... Windows 98! Even if it was a PC brand new with a processor to 3.6 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM and a 80 GB HDD. Someone managed to get 98 supporting NTFS and multiple core processors, as well as all access modern ports.

    2. between yesterday and today, it has changed hands 3times & 1/2. I say 1/2 because it belonged to a mobile commerce rental service. It has been upgraded from windows 98 through the different versions (Millennium, 2000, XP, XP MC) almost as soon as he leaves the plateau. He never had the OEM OS, NEVER, my best guess would be XP Media Center 2005.

    3. when I bought it in March 2011 for $250 on Ebay, it was XP SP3 on it, which I suppose is reasonably close to the OEM and oddly, Netscape Navigator. I immediately updated for Firefox and Chrome (I was taught to hate IE by father of Ubuntu 11.04 - running, he has always not has not upgraded to 11.10 or 12.04 LTS because he does not like she went from Gnome to the complete unit for a more mobile sensation). After about 6 months with the thing, I decided to use the old Vista Pro my dad drive to improve and maintain my stuff and do the same thing in Vista to 7.

    4. I got the Windows 7 Ultimate key off one of these as a reward online survey companies, the insertion of a Windows 7 box was in an envelope in my mailbox the next day. I put it in my computer and it worked for awhile, but it threw an error "you must activate Windows" less than a month. I called Microsoft support and managed to get a free replacement.

    So basically, it of really old (but still able to catch up with modern computers), changed hands a ridiculous amount of time, had a case upgrade and friends-letting-you-use-their-disc-for-free history that calibrated before the Millennium, was sold by a company that no longer exists with a tweak hack and possible root of an obsolete OS without reason that definitively cancelled the guarantee , crossed 2 FREE Windows 7 product keys, no one can find the original license or serial number and still less the person who actually bought the damn thing, AND the kitchen sink!

    My question is, I'll be eligible for the Windows 7-8 upgrade, not, or is there no way to know even at this stage? Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

    NOTE: Most of this information came from a complete history, I bought from the seller (who happened to have a scanned copy of each receipt, label, box and contract of prior to the time of thanks to God, even if I don't think that he could get this info legally or easily) for $ 20 as a result of a non-ebay transaction.

    This blog says MS that you are entitled to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $ 39.99 it aims just have Win7 without making any reference to upgrade history.

  • Just not upgraded for Windows 10, 7.1 Surround Sound no more functions

    I use a Logitech G633 helmet, which is compatible with a 7.1 surround sound. Before moving to Windows 10, one worked perfectly well with Skype and my sound quality surround sound was crystal clear. After the upgrade to Windows 10, Skype does not use surround sound and instead, I'm treated with bad stereo audio.

    Everything else on my computer always uses one surround sound, except Skype. This problem is only with Skype.

    I tried to reinstall the Skype and Logitech software, with no result. I am at a loss for what to do and if I can't find a solution I'll down(up?) level to Windows 7.

    I already tried to install a version of LGS that dates back all the way to March 2015, and it did not fix the problem. I was already using the latest software version when I was running Windows 7 and Skype worked fine with one surround sound with Win7.

  • MOBO replaced need to reload Windows, can I go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7?

    Crashed my MOBO and I'm trying to replace the mobo and processor to upgrade the system.  I was running XP and is considering upgrading to Windows 7.  Since I have to reload Windows XP and the loss of everything on the hard drive, I plan to replace the HD.  Can I go directly to 7 or what I need to load XP first and then upgrade?

    First, you must decide whether to buy Windows 7 as an upgrade CD or a full commercial license holder.  A full retail version costs more than a version upgrade.  However, if you buy Windows 7 with full commercial license, you will avoid potential problems, as there is certainly no need to re - install Win XP.

    A clean install is always preferable to an upgrade, and in all cases, it is not possible to upgrade directly from Windows XP to Windows 7.  Even if you use a CD 'upgrade', you will need to perform a "Custom" or new installation of Windows 7.  A custom installation replaces not only Windows XP. It also replaces everything on the hard drive.

    In the past, you can use a CD to upgrade - to perform a new installation of a newer operating system.  For example, if you inserted a CD with version upgrade of Windows XP, the process could find a precedent (and real installation of Windows 98).  If this search detected Windows 98, the CD would be upgrading Windows 98 to Windows XP.

    If the search has not detected a previous installation of Windows 98 (on a new hard drive or recently formatted), it could prompt the user to insert his old CD of Windows 98.  After checking the validity of the Windows 98 CD, the CD 'upgrade' would continue the installation of Windows XP - as a new installation.

    According to the Microsoft website, all editions of Windows XP are eligible for an upgrade to Windows 7 - so if you use Win XP on your PC, Microsoft recommends that you buy a package labeled "Upgrade".  However, I don't know if the previous procedure will allow you to perform a new installation of Windows 7 on a new hard drive.  If this isn't the case, you might need to reinstall and validate Windows XP first, simply to confirm your eligibility for the upgrade version.

  • Upgrading to Windows 7 Premium or Ultimate

    I think the upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 home ultimate.  These improvements are available without using a custom installation.  My questions are, first, whether it is worthwhile to upgrade and the second if so, which is better - home premium or ultimate?  I don't see no price for these updates on the Windows website.  Where can I get the cost?  It cannot be that these are free upgrades because of the bad reputation of Vista can it?

    Not free, no luck ;-)  If Windows Vista Home Premium meets all what you need then Windows 7 Home Premium will be.

    If you have Windows XP, Windows 8 might be bit overwhelming, though, you can familiarise yourself with it. Personally, I'd go with Windows 7 If you can get it.

    5. in case I choose Windows 8, MS will support not me, technically, by phone,

    That's right, you will get support from the manufacturer, because its their equipment. In addition, you can get support here in the forums.
