Satellite L300 - Can I purchase Windows 7 from Microsoft

My Satellite L300 came with Vista Home Premium. I formatted the drive and installed Windows XP to enable me to run a software not compatible with Vista.
Now Windows wants me to activate the OS.
I now want to purchase Windows 7 from Microsoft.
Will I be able to install Windows 7? or will the Vista product key tied to the system reject the installation?

> Will I be able to install Windows 7?
Definitely. Ive installed Win7 32bit on friends L300 and it works perfectly. Much better than Vista.
For Win7 activation you need valid product key that you can get from Microsoft. Vista key placed at the sticker will not help you at all.

HT1899 I have Lion 10.7. To install Windows 7 can I just use MozyHome 6.2.1.515, or do I really need a CD or DVD disc? Do I have to purchase anything (licensed) Windows from Microsoft?

I have Lion 10.7. To install Windows 7 can I just use MozyHome 6.2.1.515, or do I really need a separate CD or DVD disc? Do I have to purchase anything (licensed) Windows from Microsoft?
Thanks, anybody.

Microsoft is not in the business of giving software away for free, they sell it instead.
Buy a copy of Windows 7 Home premium or Professional, then install it using the method of your choice.

Satellite L300 - can headphone and speakers work simultaneously?

I have a Satellite L300 with self-installed Windows XP (Realtek Sound Driver 5.10.0.5559 from Toshiba website).
Plugging the headphones turns the speakers off. I want that speakers and headphones working simultaneously. What can I do? Thank you for help.
Sincerely H. Reinhold

Thank you for your answer.
1. I think, it is not a "mechanism in the headphone jack", because if I plug the Headphone, the speakers turn off not immediately but a short time later. So I think it must be a software action.
2. "But why do you want to have both of them working simultaneously?"
I want to trigger an electronic control when a sound signal is starting and parallel I will hear the sound. If the headphone speaker switching would be a software action, I need no external speakers, as you have suggested. A change in the configuration is always the most elegant solution. That's why my asking.

You probably ended up purchasing a Mac OS X 10.6.3 DVD. I have posted previously about this. I will edit this once I find the post again.
10.6.3 is incompatible with the Mac Pro you are using. You must install the version that came with your computer or newer. (Yours came with 10.6.4)
If you do not have the original discs:
There is another way to do this that I just remembered when one of my co-workers asked me if I had a 10.6.6 disc.
You need two macs: NEW and OLDER.
Connect NEW and OLDER via firewire cable. (NEWER is probably firewire 800, so you may need a firewire 400-800 adapter or cable)
Boot NEW into "Target Disk Mode" by holding down 'T' at boot until the Firewire logo (looks like a Y) appears.
Boot to Install Disc in OLDER.
Once you have booted to the install disc, it is the same process as installing it onto the internal drive, except you need to choose the Drive in the other computer as the target drive. The drive that you want to install to will look like it's a firewire drive (so it will look like a mounted usb drive but with that 'Y' symbol on it.)
MAKE SURE NOT TO INSTALL OVER THE GOOD DRIVE!!!!!
Go ahead and install Mac OS X.
Once it finishes installing and OLDER shuts down hold down the 'Option' key right after the chime. Select the drive that you just installed Mac OS X on. It should appear just as it did in the Installer.
Once it has booted and you have logged in: run software update and update to the latest version of the OS. Once you have finished updating, shutdown the computer. Unplug the firewire cable. Turn off NEW, then turn it back on. It should work properly.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only purchase content on the Kazakhstani store because you created your Apple ID on that country. To change the country, see "Change your iTunes Store country" > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence?

How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence? We are from Canada, travelling in the USA and wish to buy a TV series but get a message to buy it from the Canadian store. When we tried to do this we got the same message.

According to the terms of sale, you have to be in your country of residence in order to make a purchase. I've heard of people able to make purchases outside their country and also of people being unable to do so. It appears that Apple's enforcement is not 100%.
In order to buy from the U.S. iTunes Store, you would need to have a valid billing address in the U.S., a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes Gift card purchased in the U.S. and be physically present in the U.S. at the time of purchase.
International copyright law is currently very inconvenient for the consumer.
Best of luck.

HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page. Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page. Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

I can't purchased anything from the App store..... HELP ME

Thanks

Either that or you can just buy an iTunes card and put it on the account. I've have itunes account for a long time so maybe this plays a part in it but I don't have a CC tied to my account. I have the option to choose "none" and that's what I have it as. I used to have a card on there years ago but I removed it and never had to have another on it. Any purchases I make come from iTunes credits (iTunes card or credits I got from redeeming rewards).

What can I do to get back to a point that I can directly purchase Apps from my itouch via wi-fi. I was able to before I purchased an app on my PC and loaded it into the device via the sync cable.

What can I do to get back to a point that I can directly purchase Apps from my itouch via wi-fi. I was able to before I purchased an app on my PC and loaded it into the device via the sync cable. My itouch 2G was bought 2nd hand, so when trying to get Apple support I was unable to register my device because I didn't know it's original purchase date. Note: I am still able to download the apps to my computer and load/sync them into the device.
