Using Windows XP from a laptop to the other for activation

I was hooked by a computer dell laptop with XP mce, which was not genuine and is now expired. I also have a different laptop which has XP home which does not work due to the hardware failure. I am able to use the product key of XP for this laptop to use in the DELL laptop

Only if the Windows XP product key is a "commercial" and not a "OEM" version  Windows XP OEM licenses are not transferable.

  • Moved from Office Windows 7 from one room to the other and now it cannot find the wireless network

    Hello world

    I have a HP Pavilion running Windows 7.

    He was hooked through the ethernet in a single room.

    I moved it to another room where there was no inflexible access, so I relied on the use of our wireless network.

    Now, the computer will not even find the wireless network.  When I have the help, it says "no available connection."

    In the center of the network, selecting wireless has a red X to the left of the green signal bars.

    At first, I wondered if maybe the computer was in a "dead point" in our House, but I've put a laptop beside him and he found the thin wireless network.

    Any help?

    Update: I tried system restore and tried to stop/resume knowledge network locations, but to no avail.

    Here is the info on my card wireless directly from HP site:

    Original driver for the solutions of Dualband network Atheros 802.11 Wireless Module a/b/g/n.

    I found what I think, it's their website, (http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-drivers.php), but surprise... they only model # s, my info does not.  Ugh.

  • Move Windows 7 from one computer to the other.

    I installed Windows 7 on my desktop, but would prefer to have on my laptop.  How can I disable on my desktop to install on my laptop?  The Office has been an update to XP.  I have so that I can boot XP as a dual boot.

    If it is a license to retail - Yes, you can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time. The previous installation of Windows 7 must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turn on the second computer will automatically deactivate the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses are bound to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer.

    I have so that I can boot XP as a dual boot.

    For a double start requires a full Windows 7 license, not a license upgrade.

    I think most of the technicians know how to use a recovery partition, but the real problem for the recovery of Windows 8, it is each brand (oem) will need an installation disc for their particular model. We can install a Dell windows 7 cd on any PC OEM and after doing the updates, it will itself attest. With windows 8 you can even not windows to be installed on the PC if the disk you put in does not support security in the BIOS.  In other words, you need the proper (HP, Dell, etc.) model numbers version of Windows 8 recovery CD similarly be able to install it.
    If you are a system integrator or building a PC for yourself I think that the normal OEM cd should work as long as you you know number OEM KEY or product key. Its the BRAND PC which will be a pain in the buttocks in the future for technicians who have to reinstall Windows 8 on a VIRGIN hard drive AGAIN.

    Whenever you install an operating system on a computer, it considers that all the material in the computer and configures the file system and the BIOS settings.

    When you make a few changes on the material as, RAM, graphics card or add addition hard drive change, it is not necessary to reinstall the operating system.

    When you make big changes link, change the motherboard, CPU or hard drive, you must reinstall the operating system.
