We bought a new computer with Windows 7. Can I sell the box Windows 7 Upgrade CD that we used for his old computer?
Computer of my wife is dead, so I did a new one supplied with Windows 7 already installed. Can I sell the box Windows 7 Upgrade CD I bought for his old computer? We no longer use this license - we pulled the hard drive of the old computer OS and make it like a secondary on his new computer. If the license is no longer used by us - or it will never again - but I do not know if someone would experience difficulties to activate if they we bought because I do not know if we can 'turn off' the old license.
Yes, you can sell it, you will need to inform the seller that they may have to use the phone activation because it was already in use:
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.

If my windows gets crashed, for example, how do I retrieve that all? Please help me I am new user... I heard that if you other readers, you will be left place with no recovery disk to recover your windows in the back...
If you do a non-destructive partition, it will not affect the recovery Partitions since those who are usually hidden. I suggest you use Easeus Partition Manager to create:
EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html
More information: tools to partition the free Windows disk: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-20058506-68.html
---------------
The amount of space that you allocate will depend on what you plan to do with it, I allocated 35 GBs to mine.
---------------
After you have created the partition with Easeus, apply the changes and reboot your system.
EASEUS will create the partition and restart your computer once more.

PC with Vista sp2 I can backup and reinstall on the new PC with Windows 7?
I bought a new PC with Windows 7 and you want to back up my old PC running Windows Vista SP2. Can I do a total back up and reinstall without jeopardizing the Windows 7? Or y at - it a program that moves from programs for me, instead of a return to the top?
Hello
You don't give enough information:
Read this about the legality of moving from an operating system:
If the computer/laptop came with Windows Vista preinstalled operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
______________________________________________
Years although it was licensed for retail sales of a clone of Vista that you want to move in all probability if boot not that this image contains drivers for the old Vista, not the most recent motherboard on Windows 7 computer.
And programs need to be reinstalled from the original media.
See you soon.

I just bought a new PC with Windows 8 & I can't work on how to access my groups of Contacts (now people) in what was Hotmail, Outlook now. Will also need to know how to manage/add all groups so I can find them. I'm pulling my hair out here I have 101 other questions about Windows 8! All tutorials & books (I bought two) have blatant holes information. Thanks for any help on this.
Hi Ginnygee,
Yes you are right, Office Outlook (Messaging App) application is designed differently, so if you want the basic style and the Outlook.com web access features then you must access it through the web.
