  • With the help of Windows 8 license on Bootcamp.

    Original title: Mac Bootcamp with Windows 8.

    question 1 - can I use the license and bought Windows Pro 8.1 installer from the Microsoft store? I'm not sure about this, because what they acknowledge are users of Windows 7 and XP.

    2nd question - in case, I wanted to uninstall and remove my windows partition 8 (bootcamp) and use it for another time, but on the same computer and with the same method (bootcamp), can I re-use my license key?

    Thanks in advance to all who will answer my questions. My apologies for the way I asked my questions.

    question 1 - can I use the license and bought Windows Pro 8.1 installer from the Microsoft store? I'm not sure about this, because what they acknowledge are users of Windows 7 and XP.

    You cannot use the wizard upgrade in OS X. You will need to download it to a Windows-based computer that is running Windows 7 or Vista and create a. ISO file you need to transfer to OS X.

    2nd question - in case, I wanted to uninstall and remove my windows partition 8 (bootcamp) and use it for another time, but on the same computer and with the same method (bootcamp), can I re-use my license key?

    Yes, you can transfer the license to another computer, but you will need to reactivate over the telephone.

    Activation of the phone:

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

    2. then 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.

    Thanks in advance to all who will answer my questions. My apologies for the way I asked my questions.

    You will need to use it on a Windows based PC running Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1

    An alternative is to download the Windows Enterprise 8.1 90 day trial and use it to facilitate the installation of the copy that you have downloaded.

    Download Windows Enterprise 8.1 90 days:

  • Problem with the reinstallation of Windows XP Pro

    A few days ago my Windows XP Pro showed an error at startup, which has declared "activation failed". I have been using the computer for several years. I installed my XP disk to recover the system. After several hours (overnight), he continued to show "Please wait".

    I decided to reinstall windows, it showed that I loose all my data, so I copied them to another drive, and then run to install windows in a different directory (C:\Windows2). I also used a newspaper different name in order to keep my files intact.

    Then, I decided to install windows on "C:\windows" with another in log.

    I now have a selection of dual-boot. One for windows and one for windows2 (show 'Windows XP Pro').

    My question is how I can remove the dual boot. I also need to eliminate some of the user data files.

    Then use msconfig to remove the entry from the start for windows2 installation menu and then delete the folder for windows2

  • With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

    New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer.  All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car.  I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case.  It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.

    Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software.  Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk.  When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer.  When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new.  I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.

    I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive.  I can't connect to a network for the same reason.  I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer.  But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes.  The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.

    Can anyone help?  Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer.  What are the steps?

    Thank you.

    Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation

    You may need to take possession of your old documents folders - see win help to find out how

  • With the help of Windows Live Essentials Screensaver

    Recently I have re-installed Windows 7/64 through the recovery partition on my model of HP Pavilion p7 - 1070 t

                                        
    OS version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64-bit
    Processor: Intel (r) CPU of Core i3-2120 3.30 GHz, Intel64 family 6 model 7 Stepping 42

    Ghaza

    Hi Ghazal,

    The image provided that clear although not that there are 300 MB of the recovery partition. This is provided by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to do a factory reset if you have problems with the operating system. However, the 465 + GB space does show as unallocated. This unallocated space can be used, but there is a risk of losing the operating system as it is installed on the C: partition. OEM is those who create the partition and install the operating system. So, I suggest you to contact the computer manufacturer to extend the volume and make use of the unallocated space.

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.
