XP pc-to-pc newest old retail

I think I need to wipe my hard drive due to some problems. I have a copy of the retail sales of Windows XP with the product key I bought years ago for an old PC. This PC has since been destroyed. Can I install this copy on my current PC retail?

I don't want to try and find I am stuck with or one that doesn't work properly or a nine.

Yes, because it is retail.

  • Upgrade old retail XP install on another machine?

    I just trashed a computer on which I had installed an upgrade to Windows XP Pro retail. Can I now legally use this upgrade on another computer?

    The retail disc is for XP Pro with SP 1. I have a separate disc of MS with SP 2. If I can install on my other machine, which problem?

    You can use retail XP Pro upgrade on another computer, provided that you have a qualifying earlier version of Windows for this computer.  The previous version can be installed on the computer or on the installation CD provided with this computer.

    Hello

    If you bought the DVD of Windows 7 with the license, and it's a retail license, Yes, you can transfer it to another computer.

    OEM, pre-installed Dell, HP, etc. as well as Microsoft OEM System Builders licenses are non-transferable to another computer. They are tied to the computer first they are installed on the.

    Retail licenses are transferable. Remember that a single installation is allowed at a time.

  • REMOVE (RETAIL) WINDOWS 7 ON OLD COMPUTER AND TRANSFER TO ANOTHER COMPUTER

    I have read several posts on this topic, but I'm still not clear.  In particular, I read posts, type in the new product key, but that doesn't seem to apply to me, since I have to re - format the computer I'm transfer the license, so there already the product key when I re - install on the newer computer.

    I recently had my sisters old XP computer re-formatted and installed a new version of Windows 7 at retail on it.  His computer is now dying and I want to give him my most recent and most powerful Dell Precision which currently has XP and re - install retail Win 7 on it.  I think the steps are as follows.  Please correct me or give some help:

    1 re - format or 'break' his old hard drive that I originally installed Windows 7 retail on so it's offline (unusable).

    2 re - format my most recent hard drive for Dell Precision and installs Windows 7 top detail.

    Questions: what do I have to call Microsoft and explain why I transfer this product key Win 7 to get the activated license?  Are there of what other steps I'm missing?

    Thanks to all who can make this more clear for me.

    If she can run Leopard OS 10.5. If you buy a Leopard retail on eBay or Amazon installation disc and then update OS 10.5.8

    Some general tips on the update of Leopard:

    It should be noted that it is an extreme rarity for the updates to cause upsets to your system, as they've all been beta-tested, but they can reveal pre existing, especially those that you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of all seeds, make sure they are fixed before continuing.

    So before do you anything else:

    If you can, perform a full backup first to a hard drive external. Ideally, you should always have a clone bootable from your system that allows you to return to the State of the previous update.

    Disable mode "Eve" of the display and the hard drive.

    Disconnect all devices except the keyboard and mouse.

    1 repair permissions (in disk utility)

    2. check the State of your hard drive using disk utility. If defects are reported, again from your installation disc (by holding down the C key), go to disk utility and repair your startup disk. Restart again to return to your boot disk.

    At least now you can be reasonably certain that your system does not contain obvious defects that could lead to an update/upgrade fails.

    3. download the correct version of the COMBO update from Apple download site.

    The Combo in Leopard 10.5.8 update can be found here:

    http://support.Apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update

    If you prefer to download updates via software update from the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac is being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU automatically installs updates major (and even minor). The value software update to download the update without installing it immediately. There is always the possibility that the handset download and install (which can be a long process) may be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking on the keyboard, and a missed installation will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can sit at a time that suits you. In case you need a reinstall, you make a backup copy of the update on a CD.

    Details of the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606

    More information on the use of Software Updater here:

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US

    The Combo update ensures that all system files that have been changed since originally 10.5.0 are included, and those who could rate or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The updated Delta, although a city more small download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, that is for example, 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software update will usually download the Delta update only. The best Combo update must be downloaded from the Apple download site.

    Now, follow these steps:

    4. close all the applications and turn off the power the screen saver and energy-saving.

    5. unplug all devices except the keyboard and mouse.

    6. install the update/upgrade. Under no circumstances interrupt this procedure. Don't do anything else on your computer while it is installed. Be patient.

    7. when it asks to restart the computer to complete the installation, click on restart. This can take longer that usual, there are probably thousands of files to be crushed and placed in the correct location. Doing nothing while this happens.

    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again and you should be good to go!

    If your Mac seems a bit 'different' or slow, do a second reboot. It can't hurt and is sometimes effective. In fact, a second restart may be recommended.

    9. open some of your most used applications and verify that everything is OK. In this regard please remember that not all manufacturers of third-party applications and plugins, modules, etc., haxies will have had time to do rewrites for their software to be compatible with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their Web sites for updates.

    NB. do not try to install two different updates at the same time that everyone can have requirements and different exercises. Follow the recommendations above for each update in turn.

    Finally, from Apple's own article on the subject of the software update can also serve as reading:

    http://docs.info.Apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695

    If you update Safari (or simply):

    Input from third-party handlers can do as much harm as well. They use a vulnerability for the right hand in your application code and modify the code that the application starts.  If you have installed an update of the OS and Safari crashes, the very [i] first [/ i] thing to do is clear on your InputManagers folders (both in your own library and in the top-level / library), disconnect and reconnect, and try again.

    So, disable all third-party modules before the update of Safari, because they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add a return to one. If something goes wrong, remove again and check on the Web site of the manufacturer of the software for the new of an update to match your version of Safari.

    Most of the errors reported here after an update is due to an inherent flaw repaired or not detected in the system, or a third-party add-on.

    Additional advice on the installation of the software here:

    http://docs.info.Apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692

    Again, input Manager reach directly in an application and modify its code. This puts the behavior of the application concerned outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. Who doesn't want to not not saying that questions absolutely ensue as a result of the entry Manager, but, as a user, you decide. If a manager of specific entry or a set of it functionality is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.

    Once again, the Council is to remove all the input managers the following directories:

    • / Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers

    especially before the system updates (they can always be added one by one back later).

  • Change from old to new

    I have my old Mac book pro 2007, which I'm trying to retire.  I bought a used 2011 Mac book pro and a tb sshd to put in it.  Can I clone my old 2007 Snow Leopard - place on the 1 TB sshd, then put it in the used Mac 2011 & update?

    Depends on. If it is a model of end 2011, then it cannot be started by a system of Snow Leopard. If it is before the end of 2011, so it can be started from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or from the original installation DVD program that accompanies new. You must put the old drive in an external enclosure to clone the most recent disc or be able to connect the two using a Firewire cable. Cloning could be done using target disk Mode.

    Otherwise, do not clone anything. Install the original OS on the newest disc in the newer computer. Then simply transfer the user account with the Migration Wizard.

  • Logic board failure Mac Pro 3 months old

    I have a 3 months old Mac Book Pro 15 inch 516 g upper computer in line with Apple Care that is supposed to last me years and years to come.  In the night when you're done, I usually store it with 5% battery left.  Come out a few days later, and instead to get the Apple Logo 'Need to plug into the screen', I get this:

    Then I connect my Mac and everything goes back to normal.  When I saw this, I tried POOP my pants and threw up my dinner upward.

    So obviously, I went back to simply Mac where I bought, showed them the video and they said probably will not Board their diagnoses are down to return until next week so forth and so.

    I am extremely worried to have my new Mac being opened upwards and have parts replaced on an old computer on 96 day.  I called the Apple Support, they are not a substitute for a brand new computer.  I called a store that is two hours, they refused a request for replacement.

    If at this point, I guess I'm looking at 3 options and I need the best advice.

    1. consider at my local Mac simply who I am very suspicious about.  I was in the back of their store, and it is not the cleanest.  In addition, they do not have great turn around time.  Someone has simply Mac works on a MacBook Pro before?

    2 ride 2 hours, at the Apple store, make them fix I hope same day otherwise they reship (hopefully) or have pity on me and give me a new mac (what are the odds?)

    3. send it by mail?  Proving that he has problems in this way would be difficult because it takes leave the battery to 1% until it had its issues.  I have pictures and video even though evidence.  Also very wary about this option, we have expelled all new iPhone my husband 6plus and Fedex broke the entire screen and Apple refused to fix what was wrong with the microphone and then cover the repair of the screen.  After 3 hours of quite striking, they he replaced however.

    I called the Apple Support, they are not a substitute for a brand new computer.  I called a store that is two hours, they refused a request for replacement.

    It is the policy - you have only 14 days for return or Exchange, otherwise warranty repairs.

  • Old favorites are not compatible with the version 20 + Firefox

    General information:
    I use the old client version 3.6 given that an old utility addon author stopped update and will not work with the new revisions. Despite disabling the update featured on: config and in preferences, the browser refreshes still finished (initially I was using 3.4 and would prefer to use that, but no matter how I try I can is no longer cancel 3.6 to 3.4 even if I reinstall using an Installer 3.4). Accordingly, I had the habit of keeping a copy of my directory of firefox where it updates again without asking, she has. This could help the guy out to meet countless people who have lost their favorites because of the upgrade released this year and I hope that someone to investigate and release a patch/utility to fix the problem.

    Question:
    I checked that the most recent customer since at least version 20 and leave, are not compatible with the old bookmark JSON files. Those who have been upgraded to the latest revision not only lose their favorites, but cannot restore them either, as Firefox only returns the error message: "unable to process the Backup File.

    I confirmed that the files themselves are perfectly intact with no sign of corruption and are as expected. Restore ok old revisions of browser (in my case specifically 3.6), they will not restore the most recent customer reviews. This isn't a fault with bookmark backups, but with new clients (I guess they changed the way they store information in the JSONs at some point. I note in the code for the JSONs GUID has never been used in old revisions, but it is in the most recent revision. Maybe it's causing an incompatibility problem? You just need to adjust the client so that it looks for the GUID and if none can be found to ignore it rather than decide that the file is corrupted.

    Old JSON Code snippet: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":1306666129870000,"lastModified":1306670152435000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"placesRoot","children":[{"title":"Bookmarks Menu","id":2,"parent":1,"dateAdded":1306666129870000,"lastModified":1381254048121000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"bookmarksMenuFolder","children":[{"title":"Recently Bookmarked","id":6,"parent":2,"annos":[{"name":"Places/SmartBookmark","flags":0,"expires":4,"mimeType":null,"type":3,"value":"RecentlyBookmarked"}],"type":"text/x-moz-place","uri":"place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&sort=12&excludeQueries=1&excludeItemIfParentHasAnnotation=livemark%2FfeedURI& maxResults = 10 & queryType = 1 "}, {'index': 1,"title":"Recent Tags", 'id': 7, 'parent': 2,"annos": [{'name':" places/SmartBookmark', 'flags': 0, 'expires': 4, 'mimeType': null, 'type': 3, 'value': 'RecentTags'}], 'type': ' text/x-moz-place', 'uri' ":" place: sort = 14 & type = 6 & maxResults = 10 & queryType = 1 ""}, {'index': 2, 'title': id '',' ': 8, 'parent': 2, 'dateAdded': 1294868015246000, 'lastModified': 1294868015246000, 'type': "text/x-moz-place-separator"}

    New JSON Code Snippet: {"title":"","guid":"5rkFafJ6AnRZ","id":1,"index":0,"dateAdded":1396387525168000,"lastModified":1396387525168000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"placesRoot","children":[{"title":"Bookmarks Menu","guid":"m7vLM41-lzQi","id":2,"index":0,"parent":1,"dateAdded":1396387525168000,"lastModified":1396387526173000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"bookmarksMenuFolder","children":[{"title":"Recently Bookmarked","guid":"BEffyw6xva93","id":13,"index":0,"parent":2,"dateAdded":1396387526172000,"lastModified":1396387526172000,"annos":[{"name":"Places/SmartBookmark","flags":0,"expires":4 ,"value":"RecentlyBookmarked"}],"type":"text/x-moz-place","uri":"place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&queryType=1&sort=12&maxResults=10&excludeQueries=1"},{"title":"Recent Tags","guid":"WmnlbVv38Bjv","id":14,"index":1,"parent":2,"dateAdded":1396387526172000,"lastModified":1396387526172000,"annos":[{"name":"Places/SmartBookmark","flags":0,"expires":4,"value":"RecentTags"}],"type":"text/x-moz-place","uri":"place:type=6&sort=14&maxResults=10"}

    Solution?
    In my case, I had a copy backup of the old directory for review. To restore I opened the copy and export bookmarks as an HTML, that I restored in the most recent client. If you don't have a copy of the former client, the best thing would be to try and re-install an older revision of the customer and either make a copy of the program folder and use another copy of that you can use the new and old customers and you worry about the loss of an older revision, since you'll always have 2 copies of the former client (the one you use the one that you use to restore in the case of at level). Or export bookmarks to an HTML element, and then upgrade the client to the newest and import the HTML instead of JSON files.

    Please review and create a more simple solution to a problem of stupid incompatibility. ^_^

    There are a number of operations in the file places.sqlite which are obsolete.
    For example,.

    setItemGUID (aItemId, aGUID) obsolete since Gecko 14.0 - returns a unique global identifier for the element. This is mainly for use by extensions that synchronize data between different profiles bookmark.



    Former id snippit:
    "title": "','id': 1,"dateAdded": 1306666129870000,"
    New snippit
    {"title": "","guid": "5rkFafJ6AnRZ",""id ": 1, 'index': 0, 'dateAdded': 1396387525168000"}

    There are other identifier here has changed, I think in version 14
    «Note: the importHTMLFromFileToFolder() method has been removed in Gecko 14.0 (14.0 Firefox / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).»

    But more likely the former is Netscape format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra.../aa753582%28VS.85%29.aspx

    I tried this however: I installed the old version (3.5) and updated to the current version. All my favorites were there. I had to check the updates and could not skip certain steps of 3.5 to 3.6 for example. He then went from 3.6 to 12, then with todays update went straight to 30. They're all here. However nothing is perfect, backup is recommended as well.

    Back to your question, makes it easier for backward compatibility, my hypothesis is that they changed with the updates and ignored some versions. Saved profiles or places.sqlite files may be missing this change because the format changes in the update?

    My suggestion would be filing a bug at this request, providing a few cases where this would be necessary. Currently only the current version of Firefox is supported, which can leave us to the work around that you are currently using.
