  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  
  

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  
  

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

  
  

  
  

  
  

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  Is a compatible American society, with regard to the award of licences, if they buy some machines with Windows 7 OEM installed and embark on Latin America for use in the offices of the child? Or the offices of the child in these countries made a mistake to buy under their own name?

• I have a desktop computer with Vista business I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and install Vista on a laptop that has XP Pro but is Vista capable.

  I have a desktop computer with Vista business I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and install Vista on a laptop that has XP Pro but is Vista capable.

  Hello

  If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

  It is part of the upgrade process

  and also read this on licensing rules;

  If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

  The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

• WINDOWS 7 OEM SLP

  I'm quite confused.  I bought an acer aspire 6920 from a friend who no longer wants to make foreign because it is old.  He did not leave me anything else (recovery disk, etc.) than the computer itself. I check the system information all matches the model number.  The certificate of authenticity Microsoft is almost clear, but I think I got still the product key and the part number of the product.  On the sticker, the part number of the product is X 14-39682.  I did a search there continues to flow upward under Vista Home Premium.  I went to properties system and watch Professional Service Pack 1 of Windows 7.  The system compares the model and below, it shows that it is authentic with the product id.  I downloaded an app on the web and was able to get the CD key and the product key.  However, the part number of the product has not much the COA sticker.  It says X 15-37377.  I downloaded Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool and said that the operating system is genuine OEM SLP.  I called a seller of part of Acer and told me that I can buy a recovery but disk for Vista Home Premium.  If I do, and if the computer breaks down then I'll be back to Vista Operating System.  What is the alternative way to return to Windows 7 just in case I have to reinstall.  I have bought a Windows 7 professional (retail) for my office.  I use it to reinstall the Windows 7 OEM by using the CD key that I've recovered from the laptop?  Help, please.

  You buy a genuine Windows 7 license. The copy of Windows 7 Professional, you have installed is an OEM SLP license that should only be preloaded with a new PC. You seem to have installed a copy of Windows 7 Professional that uses an activation exploit that bypasses the product activation.

  The problem is that if what you have now is Windows 7 OEM SLP, then its an illegal license.

  Thus, you must either charge your version of Windows that came on your computer (Vista or XP) or consider purchasing a license of Windows 7 genuine.

• Windows 7 OEM Hardware Upgrade policy

  If I buy a PC with Windows 7 preinstalled OEM, am I allowed to later:
  1) upgrade the CPU to a faster model with more hearts?
  (2) add an additional processor if my motherboard supports?
  (3) replace the HD that OEM Windows 7 has been installed with a faster HD more recent?

  Here are a few likely Corsican action that I might want to take:
  (1) buy a workstation z400 Hewlett Packard 2.4 GHZ Dual Core Xeon W3503 with OEM Windows 7 now and upgrade the processor to a 2.66 GHZ Quad Core Xeon W3520 a few years later, when I have the money.
  (2) purchase a Hewlett Packard with Windows 7 OEM z400 installed on the 160 GB hard drive now, but install Windows 7 OEM on a new hard drive to 500 GB 10 000 rpm when I either money or original 160 GB hard drive crashes.

  Only, I thought I should ask now before buying a system with Windows 7 OEM installed because I know that there are certain laws determine what I can and can not update when I use a Microsoft OEM operating system.  I want to get all this directly now to ensure that I don't block me in an obsolete technology.

  It's a little tangent to my original question, but Microsoft has just made life easier for us power users!

  "If you build a PC for your personal use or to install an additional operating system in a virtual machine, you can now buy software OEM System Builder using the personal use license." -

  It's crazy awesome! The personal use license terms are very reasonable and they make it where feed us junkies can start back to Newegg and TigerDirect!

   

  Thank you, Microsoft.

   

  You guys Rock!

• Disc of Windows 7 64 bit System Builder will allow me to do a clean install using the supplied with any PC OEM license?

  In the past, I bought a windows XP disk manufacturers Premium System home.

  If there is a computer that does not have the recovery discs, I could reinstall the XP operating system and use the ORIGINAL OEM license to

  turn on the computer.

  This is always the case with a copy of WINDOWS 7 Home premium 64-bit disk system integrators.

  This disc will allow me to use the license OEM Original on any computer I do a clean install on If I

  Have a WINDOWS 7 Home Premium license on those computers?

  Its simpler just uninstall what you don't want, its going to be no different from a clean install. You can forget something on the left over registry entries, which is of no consequence and has not been since Windows 9 * days.

  My question is: is it possible to install Windows XP Home English from a different CD (no not via the dvd recovery) and continue to use the license key of windows that comes with the laptop?

  for example, is the license key for laptop for Windows XP Home Edition (any language) or specifically for Windows XP Home Portuguese?

  Thankx in advance!

  NO, it is not possible to s. The key that is located on the cover of the CD is not activation key for Windows OS. This key you use to activate the Microsoft OneNote, which is preinstalled on the image of Toshiba.
