What is the best way to transfer your license of Windows product key when you sell your older hardware?

Hello

I wanted to just see what others suggest, when planning on the sale of your more old hardware to family or friends and ensure the maximum payment and trade-in value.  I have a laptop that I will probably remove the Windows operating system and installs an open source OS top. I intend to sell the laptop of the family, and I'm little warily to get paid as much as I want for her.  I think that one option could be to remove the product key sticker, until I paid, and then send the product to them key sticker separately or is it really important and should leave the sticker on the computer because the laptop was first recorded in my name and my address.  I read your suggestions on how to handle this matter. THX ;)

You are not supposed to do. License is part of the machine, remove the sticker isn't fair, since you sell the machine, the license must be sold with it.

In addition, you cannot use the license elsewhere.

The OEM of Windows 7 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

    What is the best way to transfer pictures from an old computer to a flash drive or a drive back then to a new computer?

    The easiest and most reliable I've found is to make the direct drag-and-drop method.

    (1) on the old computer, open your Windows Explorer and go to your photos.

    (2) open another Windows Explorer window and access your 'Computer' folder and in your flash drive

    (3) drag the photos to the flash drive.

    (4) take the flash drive on the new computer and drag them into your images folder

  • What is the best way to transfer the file to a new larger internal drive?

    I am running win 7 ultimate.  I had two hard drives of 500 GB.  C is partitioned to 120 GB (not enough) I just installed a 1.5 terabyte drive.  What is the best way to transfer my data? I would keep the 500 GB (now C: and D :) and add the 1.5 to, I also have a 2 external to that I tried to move my libraries at, but I'm confused my system.)  I don't know much about indexing or mapping.

    \

    Consider transferring all the files that are currently in the second partition of 500 GB drive that is hosting the C: drive (you have referred to as D :) on the new drive.

    Once you have done this, you can then delete the D: partition since this 1 hard drive. This would then extend the C: drive to actually use all the 500 GB drive. Finally change the drive letter for the 1.5 terabyte disk d: it in disk management ( Diskmgmt.mscRun)

    So in the end you have a 500 GB C drive and a 1.5 TB drive D.

    When it comes to move libraries Windows has a utility to do it for you. If you click on your username at the top right of the menu start all your user profile directories are displayed. If you right-click on each one and select Properties, those that support this feature will have a tab 'location '. In this tab, it displays the current location of the file, but has a button "move". You move the folder and all its files and subfolders in a new location and update the references, the system uses for this folder.

    So if you created a folder on the D drive say 'Juli-year' and you right-click on Favorites, some properties, then on location you can move this summary folder in C:\Users\username\Favourites to D:\Juli-An\Favourites. Not all folders in the user profile supports this but all the c library files and a few others.

    Of course if you did as I suggested and ended with a 500 GB C drive you may need.

  • What is the best way to transfer a hard drive of a computer with a motherboard dead to a new system?

    Moving an Installation of Vista

    Hi guys (and girls).

    I'm looking for the best way to transfer my computer drive "workaholic" into another machine... it's a Vista Home Premium x 86 OEM installation, but the motherboard has serious problems, so I'll pulling the reader (and its programs of many irreplaceable and owners) and transfer it into another machine. Yes, I know what are the rules regarding OEM licenses and I don't mean to skirt the rules, as I have a full VHPx86 commercial license collecting dust on the shelf that I was going to use, while I was looking for advice on the transfer:

    Should I go through the process of installation/installation (and following key change) on the original machine and transfer, then the drive in the new machine?

    Or can I move the disk to the new machine as that is, struggle with the driver updates and enter the new key when I reactivate the license?

    Thanks for any advice,

    JAM

    I suggest to install the copy retail hard disk once it's in the new computer.  It is more complicated than simply changing the product key.  You can probably use an upgrade of the repair on-site and avoid having to reinstall your programs and data.  However, you should make a backup of the image first, just in case something goes wrong.  The other option is a clean installation of the new OS and Windows Easy Transfer to move your files and settings.  It would need to reinstall your programs.  Personally, I recommend the latter.  If you go this route there are external to the file migwiz drive since you will be formatting the drive.

    Just bought a new Apple computer. What is the best way to transer CS6 and Lightroom? Both applications have been updated. Should I reinstall it on the Adobe site?

    first of all, if you're going to retire this old computer or, at least, no longer use your adobe on this old computer programs, open and click Help > deactivate.

    then install your files to your new computer and activate.  If you already have an installation cd, you don't need to download.  If you don't have the installation files, download the trial and activate it with your order number.

  • What is the best way to inform your client of VCentere when a vmotion event has occurred?

    For example, suppose you want to get ntofied when a vmotion event has occurred on the

    VCenter. You need the info on what got VM move to the place where.

    But it makes no sense to keep voting history of VCenter events. So, I guess you

    use the alarm mechanism. If this is the case then you are just left with the alarm runninng

    a script that somehow informed the client of VC occurred a vmotion. Now the question is what

    How is the best way to inform the customer of VC?

    So the process is the VCenter client calls the VSphere SDK API via web services to create/set the alarm.

    The alarm call a script, the script calls something to warn the client of VC.

    The script uses sockets / Messages /? or is it and most easy way?  What did other people?

    Again, the alarm is once configured on the server vCenter Server and this can be done by using the Client vSphere or programmaticlaly using the vSphere API. The action of the alarm go can be anything and who is also stored and executed on the server vCenter Server. If you want the action to send an HTTP request, you can, as long as the 'scenario' can be run on the server vCenter Server. It's the size of the default actions that have been implemented with an alarm (alarm in vCenter system as event, SNMP trap, e-mail or run local script to vCenter Server)

    If you want to develop a thin client that watches for a change or a particular property, you'll want to take a look at the collector of property if you have not already in the vSphere Programming Guide - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsdk_prog_guide.pdf in collaboration with collector property, you'll want to take advantage of "Views" which is what the vSphere Client uses to display the vSphere infrastructure inventory and updates only the customer when something changes or automatically when a view is modified (for example, cluster/host to view vm/model). You can still use the method of the alarm, but relying on the collector of property/views, will give you a solid client without having to query the system.

    I would recommend that you take a look at these two presentation by one of our engineers on the manifold of the property http://vimeo.com/16222275 and http://vimeo.com/16215337 alarms & events

  • What is the best way to transfer a PC that can not download Firefox Firefox?

    My work computer works under IE, and I want to instead use Firefox for my web browsing. However, there is a block admin on my computer that won't allow downloads of executable files. Is there a way to get Firefox on my work computer by downloading the file at home, put on a USB and then by running the file on my work computer? Any help would be appreciated.

    In fact, you may want to complete installation and not the installer of heel that is normally bound to on mozilla.org for Windows has been linked above in the first post. http://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

    However, the two will install Firefox and not just launch Firefox.

    You can opt for portable Firefox as it can even work with profile completely on the USB nothing is installed. It is not made by Mozilla however they've been a reliable option for several years now with the portable version of Firefox. http://PortableApps.com/apps/Internet/firefox_portable

    Also be careful because some workplaces cannot be authorized by running software that is not approved for example.

    I am an amateur photographer and all my editing was done in Lightroom. I know I have a unlimited creativity with my photos in Photoshop, and so the question comes up. I would like to learn how to use product to adobe as much as possible. What would be the best option? Graphic design of decision-making in a community college, to seminars, to youtube, books, day 2 courses etc... I know Adobe Tutorials but I would like to learn as much as I can out of Adobe.  Of the suggestions as to what type of courses or classes to take would be appreciated. Thank you in advance to Adobe and the Adobe community for your help!

    No doubt personal lessons are the best (short courses and colleges) - and the most expensive!

    There are some excellent books, such as quick start Guides and classroom in a book series.

    The tutorials of Trainsimple.com and Lynda.com online video training are also very good. You can get a free 10 day trial with Lynda.com to try.

    And you can always ask specific questions on the Adobe forums.

    I tried to use Windows Easy Transfer. Well, I do not see the speed, and I don't know how long it will take for the transfer file either.

    I want to see a better plan and advice.
