Vista OEM previously saved on portable computer diff no longer works, want to install on another

What will happen if I install my own OEM Vista version that I had already installed and registered w/MS on an old Compaq laptop but is no longer use this laptop and to install the version of Vista OEM on an old HP dv8000 has Win XP on it... thing is, barely, I used my version of Vista and this old Compaq because shortly after I put all that registered with MS, the LCD screen is kaput and I took the thing out, and so it is since that way... not working... I lost all that money on the purchase of Vista and never really used a lot. So, what I'm wondering is MS will allow me to activate my Vista OEM version if I install it on the dv8000 with same serial number supplied with the pkg? do I need to call? They let me use the same serial number or is it possible that because I OWN it, they just issue a new product key that so I can install and save Vista on the dv8000? and what is the phone number for the activation of MS service? I should maybe just call and talk to them and I hope that I can reuse my version?

And you don't know you have a license to use it according to the discretion of Microsoft.

Licensing rules:

If the machine came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the machine is for the preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

My clients transfer or sell their software OEM licenses?

  • Is it possible to install XP from an old computer is no longer works, to a new computer?

    My computer is broken. Can I use the same product key for my new PC or need to buy another product key?

    Hi albial,

    If your copy of XP OEM means it was pre-installed on your old computer, you won't be able to use it on your new computer, because it is related to this specific computer only.

    If your copy of XP was a commercial copy full that was purchased, then you can use it on your new computer.

    In addition, if you are able to install XP on your new computer, please see the following article on how to enable:

  • dv7t-1200 CTO portable audio device no longer works

    A few days ago I had a problem where my volume control would pop up on my screen (in itself) and try to scroll through the continuous volume control. It was obviously very annoying, I went on HP solutions and has seen an Audio driver updated and installed. Now the boring "on the screen" scrollbar volume ceased to appear, but now I have no sound at all. When I right click the icon in the taskbar to open the volume mixer he said now any installed device. When I go to Device Manager in my control panel, everything about her says "the device is functioning properly. I noticed after I had downloaded the audio update there was the text of presentation you need to update the update of the BIOS before updating the audio update - too late, but I downloaded the BIOS update last night. Still no sound. I am running Vista Ultimate 64 bit and the downloads are for this. Someone at - it ideas? It would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    It may be worth trying. Stop the laptop, remove the AC adapter and remove the battery. Now, press and hold the power button on the laptop for a good 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery, connect the power adapter and start Notepad.

    Now, Windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, open sound, video and game controllers, right click on your audio device annd, select Properties.  Click the driver tab, and then click on "Roll Back Driver".  Once done, restart the computer and see if that helped the issue with your audio files.

    You can certainly try the update.

    You want to make sure that you are on the latest version of HP SimplePass anyway - it's the most stable versions.

    As long as you're NOT using Ddigital Persona, what follows is valid.  Although she was sometimes called by the name Sesame over the years by HP, the DP is not the same software as SimplePass.

    Reboot the laptop in a way the pilot can relocate that you connect to

  • How do uninstall my CS6 software from a computer that no longer works?

    My old imac just died as well as all the software on it. I bought a new imac and have managed to reinstall most of my old Time Machine software. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do that with CS6.

    When I tried to use InDesign he asked me if I wanted to use the trial version or buy a version. As I already have the software, I opted for the trial version until I could sort. My copy of CS6 is on disc and I managed to load on the old computer as it had a DVD player, but the new computer does not work. I also found that I need to uninstall my copy of the old computer CS6 until I can reinstall it to the new however the old man died and is no longer starts. The license I have for CS6 is for two computers however I use the second connection on another device. Is there a way I can uninstall the software of a dead computer and reinstall it on the new without the use of a DVD player?

    Please help as my trial version will expire soon!
