  OEM = No.

  Commercial version = Yes "as long as the XP product key was not used as the basis for the upgrade to Vista or Windows 7".

  Also the product XP key no. must be used or installed on another computer.

  3. When do you have this error code or error message?

  The computer has detected in the network may be the other that you have, you will need to check the network and check the name of the computer. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  a. Click Start. Type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

  b. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
  ipconfig/all (there is a space between ipconfig and /)
  The command ipconfig/all command displays for all your network adapters, TCP/IP in Windows settings.

  c. enough at the command prompt ipconfig and press ENTER. This frees up your current IP address.

  d. ipconfig / renew in command prompt and press ENTER.

  The DHCP configuration for all adapters is renewed. To renew the IP address for a
  specific adapter, type the name of the map that appears when you type ipconfig at the command prompt.

   

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists and you have not Windows Vista Service Pack installed then you can refer to the link below and check if you use the fix passes solve you the problem.

  Hello

  No.; If the operating system on the other came computer preinstalled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) you can't use it on another PC.

  If the laptop/computer came with preinstalled Windows 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.

• Message came up with, "Windows has detected another computer with the same IP address on this netework."

  A message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address. "... or similar message to one, that could just be the functioning of the laptop for the wireless?

  MurrayJoe:

  > Mean someone has or may have access to my PC or laptop?

  You mentioned a wireless laptop. Do you get this message at home (when your laptop is in communication with your own wireless router), or that you get this message when in a public hotspot?

  If at home, then I would be not too concerned (what security options enabled in your home router?).

  If you get the message while using a public access point, this does not necessarily your computer has been hacked... but it is a warning that you should not ignore. In general, I would not go to any site that has my financial data, or any other sensitive data, a public hotspot. There are too many ways that a public hotspot may be compromised.

  Your original post said that "a message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address.

  There are several reasons this could happen... some innocent people and some not so innocent.

  If your network is configured for the most common way, then your router uses a feature called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can read about DHCP here...

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

  Basically, when a device on your home network needs an IP address, he asks your router and your router assigns an IP address... technically, "rents" the router address for a given period (one day). Once this period has elapsed, the device must 'renew lease'.

  DHCP stops you from the hassle of having to assign a static IP address to each device on your network and then don't forget to retrieve that meet if/when a device are removed from your network.

  Sometimes the process DHCP can be confused and assign the same address on multiple devices. If/when this happens, communication between devices on your home network may be confused. Windows is smart enough to detect that another device on your home network has the same address as the computer where Windows is currently running..., but Windows can not solve the problem.

  You can determine the IP address of the computer that is running Windows (and posted the message you saw)... by entering "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks) at a command line prompt. Then you can check the IP addresses of all devices on your network until you find the other devices with the same IP address. Then you could say either every device to get a new IP address of the router (or restart the device). Alternatively, you can try just stating the computer that is running Windows to get a new IP address (by first entering "ipconfig/release" then "ipconfig / renew" in the command-line invite him... all orders without the quotes).

  But since you said that you are not very tech savvy, my first suggestion was the easiest... just shut everything in your network, and then restart one at a time by starting with your ISP device, router, and other devices. If the problem persists after that, then more troubleshooting (as described in the previous paragraph) would be necessary.

  I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you. If you have any questions, please post them and I'll try to answer.

• Installation of Windows Vista to another computer after a course upgraded to Windows 7?

  I upgraded my new computer Windows 7 I can intall windows vista on the old computer?

  If your Vista is a "Retail" version, so yes with the following restrictions: 1) If your old PC as has a previous operating system (e.g. Windows XP), then you can use the "Upgrade" to Vista version. (2) If you old computer has no previous OS, then you need the 'Full' product version of Vista.

  However if you have a version of Vista OEM (which comes preinstalled with the computer), it can be moved/installed on another computer, as the OEM versions are linked to the first computer on which they are installed.

• Can I install Windows 7 on another computer if the first installation on another computer has been deleted before activation?

  Here's my situation: I installed an oem version of Windows 7 on a computer, I've set up - downloaded all the updates. I have not activated yet. Now I changed my mind about the operating system I want to install on this computer. Because the software was not enabled can I remove and install in the future on another computer? Or Microsoft knows somehow I installed the operating system on a computer, even if I do not activate it.

  Only the activation records material signature in the Activation of MS servers to compare to reinstall or check the real.  What you have now is an installation not enabled with probable 30 days to activate.

  You are wise to wait to be sure because once the OEM version is activated in the EULA, it can be moved to another motherboard.  However since OEM became the only Windows 7 Home or Pro version available there are some reports of agents activating MS make exceptions to move with a good cause.  But this cannot count on.

• How can I move my copy of windows 7 on another computer?

  I bought a copy upgrade of windows 7 for my back when it first came out (my computer went on XP at the time). I am now to move to a new computer and want to transfer my operating system of windows 7 to the new machine. I can access is no longer the download link, although as microsoft.com does not recognize the email address I used to create the account, I used to buy the upgrade. When I bought the upgrade, it was part of a generation of students and may request a .edu address, if that's any help.

  Whatever the case, I would like to know if there is a way I can retrieve my download link or move the files I need directly to the new computer (which is currently being worked on vista).

  Hello

  If it's a retail license, 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.
  If you have any difficulties, activation of Windows 7 after the relocation to open the Windows Activation Wizard in Windows 7 to use the phone and activate Windows. During the Windows 7 installation at the entrance of your product keys page, do not enter your key and uncheck the "automatically activate when online.
  1. Click Start, and then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
  2. press enter on your keyboard
  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the option to activate the phone, then call and hold to a real person.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  Yes, you can re - install Windows 8 on a different computer.  Before you re-install in another computer, please make sure that you remove Windows 8 to the computer that you have already installed software license terms Microsoft allows a copy must be installed on one computer only.

  To remove Windows 8 of the current computer, you must perform a clean installation of Windows 8. Install with previous operating system drive (Windows 7\ Vista\XP). This removes Windows 8 in the current computer and install the previous operating system.

  Note: You may lose all your data when you perform a new installation, so please back up all data before installing the previous operating system.

  Once you have removed Windows 8 from the current computer, download Windows 8 in the new computer and install. When installing, please provide the same license key that you used during your first installation of Windows 8. You can also find this key in the purchase confirmation email that you received.

  I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please get back to us and we would be happy to help you.

• my windows says that another computer is running in the same network with the same ip address, please contact

  Today morning when I opened my samsung mini, it displays a message that another computer is running on the same network with the same ip address please find a solution for this

  In most home networks where multiple devices are connected to a router, router will assign an IP address to each device (via DHCP). This method keeps usually different devices to get the same IP address, but if you restart your router, it will not address remembered that he released before it was restarted.  This condition can also occur if you manually assigned an IP address to a device located in the router's DHCP range.  If the problem is not due to manually assign an IP address, then this condition will be corrected over time.  But if you're in a hurry, you can unplug your router from the wall and stop all computing devices on it.  Then plug the router back in and bring up all your devices again one by one.

• Get Windows 7 on another computer

  I recently bought a ThinkPad Edge 14 and with it a copy of the 64-bit Windows 7 preinstalled.

  Seeing that I use based on unix systems for work, I was wondering if I could wear somehow the copy of Windows 7 that came on the ThinkPad Edge on my desk at home.

  It would be a possibility?

  Thank you

  When you buy a computer with Windows, you get an OEM license. The license OEM Windows belong to the computer and not you and cannot be legally transferred to a new computer. If the computer license die with the computer or in the case where you are selling the computer the new owner will receive the license as well as it belongs to the computer.
