Using one Windows 7 64-bit Disk to install on different machines with different licenses

I have Windows 7 64-bit full install disk that I purchased when I built my system. Obviously it came with its own key, which I installed on my custom built system. I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex GX620 computer that I want to use as an
HTPC. It came with Windows 7 64-bit installed. Both of these Windows are 7 64-bit Home Premium. Unfortunately, the Dell has only got an 80GB HDD. I want to upgrade to a 1TB. I also want no problems with the Windows so don't feel
comfortable doing an image from the 80GB to the 1TB, so I want to do fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit. The Dell came with a Windows 7 license key sticker on the side. My question is: Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit on the Dell
with the new 1TB HDD using my Windows 7 64-bit full install disk and the license key on the side of the Dell computer and activate it with no problems?

Q. "Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit on the Dell with the new 1TB HDD using my Windows 7 64-bit full install disk and the license key on the side of the Dell computer and activate it with no problems?"
A. Yes, but you'll likely have to "activate by phone".

The Mac SuperDrive built into your Mac is the Optical drive.
1. Insert your Windows DVD in Optical drive. Disconnect any external storage.
2. Insert a USB2 Flash drive. This will be used to hold the BC drivers.
3. Start BCA. Check the options to download software and Install Windows. You do not need to download Windows. The BCA will download the BC drivers to the USB.
4. Partition your drive.
5. You can see the Windows installer screens at https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2.

Psc 2110 all-in-one, Windows Vista 32-bit,

psc 2110 all-in-one, Windows Vista 32-bit, Tried to scan and now printer will not scan or print. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it still doesn't work. HP diagnostic said I needed a new driver and HP by passes that request.
Scanner hasn't worked very well since I put the printer on Vista. How do I get a download for a new driver from HP?

Hello 2_old ,
Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome Back" to the HP Forums.
I see that you are receiving an error message about the left ink cartridge on the printer.
It is possible that the ink cartridge is low or even empty.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If the error is still on the printer after the unit has been connected to a wall outlet, I suggest you try another cartridge.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
I hope you have a great day and thank you for your time.

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

Simple how-to guide to adding windows 7 64-bit to mavericks as a virtual machine (Virtual Box)

Simple how-to guide to adding windows 7 64-bit to mavericks as a virtual machine (Virtual Box)
Why use a Virtual Machine: Sometimes you need to run a windows only program. A VM lets you do that without rebooting your machine.
How is it different from Mac Boot Camp: Boot camp allows you to run windows but you must reboot your machine. It is faster and smoother than a VM (and with fullscreen details below), but you have to reboot for each use.
Is it possible to have a VM and Boot Camp: Yes, and I do this because sometimes I want to use a VM quickly without shutting down, sometimes I want the advantages of Boot Camp
How do I get Windows in Boot Camp: how-to here:

Download Virtual Box Virtual Machine Player:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Install Win 7 OS:
Open Virtual Box
Choose “New” (Note: Once you click new it will require you to complete the process of creation, no option for quit. If you make a mistake or are not ready, just finish it and then remove it and delete all files)
Name: “Windows 7 Virtual” or as you choose
Type: Microsoft Windows
Version: Windows 7 64-bit
Memory: I suggest 1GB if you have 4GB available, 512 MB may run slowly. 2GB+ of 4GB may slowdown your MAC OS running while the VM is running.
“Create a Virtual Drive Now” option
File Size: 25 GB should be the minimum selected, I used 25GB because I expect to use the drive to store very little.
HD type: VirtualBox Disk Image
Storage: Dynamically Allocated
Locate your new VM and click Start (again you will not be able to quit once you start, if you make a mistake continue until the red quit icon appears then remove the VM)
It will ask you to select the files for the OS. Select the ISO file, for example: /Users/Christoper/Downloads/X17-58997.iso.download/X17-58997.iso
Proceed to setup Win with your preferences
Type product key from your OS purchase or an existing one that you are moving from another machine
Note: Screen resolution may be very limited on the virtual machine. I use resolution 800 X 600 so that all of the desktop is visible.
I suggest using a windows gadget to view the CPU and Memory usage > On desktop mac-right-click i.e. separate fingers and click both > Gadgets > CPU Meter
Enjoy having Windows on your Mac!

I have found a solution to the screen being smaller in the windows 7 virtual machine. First right-click in the desktop region and select screen resolution. It is probably set to 800 X 600 by default which is much less than the screensize you are using. To determine your native screensize, go to your mac and finder > applications > utilities > hardware > graphics displays. Mine is 1440 X 900 for macbook air. Then go back into the virtual machine and sceen resolution settings. Choose a screen resolution which is slightly less in all dimensions so that there is no clipping and you do not have to scroll when viewing. For me this was 1152 X 864. Then exit saving changes and with the VM in view press command - F (or at the menu bar View > Switch to full screen), which puts you in full screen mode. Now you should have a screen with minimal gray empty space filling the majority of your screen

Hi Tamekia,
I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.

HP PSC 2410 All-In-One - use in Windows 7 64-bit environment

Hi,
I have had this HP PSC 2410 All-In-One printer for some years now and it has worked pretty flawlessly in a Windows XP Pro SP3 environment for that time.
Some months ago, I purchased a new computer system and went to the Windows 7 64-bit OS (not interersted in Windows 8 at all) and whilst I have installed the printer successfully and it works, the software suite that came with the printer on the CD will not install for this environment and therefore I no longer have access to the various Maintenance Options that were available under the Windows XP Pro OS, such as the cleaning and Fax options.
Searching for something for the Windows 7 64-bit OS threw up two options - the driver update and the utilities tool wizard. After going down the driver update route, no software suite was available and in fact the update stated that the driver was installed by Windows 7 automatically. That seems to be the case as the printer works fine in print mode, scan mode (from the desktop menu) and it detects SD cards through the slots.
However, there is no software to allow me to fax or clean or do any of the other options available under the HP Suite that came on the CD.
Going down the Utility route got me downloading a file - HPPIW.EXE - that would look at my current printer installation and check with HP for any updates. After many attempts, the utility simply CANNOT find my printer even though it is installed, works properly and even windows sees it! No amount of recycling the ON/OFF button or rebooting the computer allows this utility to detect the printer at all. It is installed via USB on the Windows 7 64-bit Family PC and windows updates are always fully updated.
I am currently considering the purchase of a new HP OfficeJet 8600 Pro Plus to use as the family printer with the Windows 7 system - and move this HP PSC 2410 upstairs to connect it directly to my Windows XP Pro SP3 personal desktop and use the original CD to install it. My Canon IP4200 Pixma has just died on my personal PC upstairs.
However, until I do that, is there any of the Software Suite available that would work in the Windows 7 environment that would allow me to use the various functions such as Fax and cleaning that were available under the old XP environment and obtained via the CD? Was the Suite of software ever updated for Windows 7?
Thank you,
Lee James

Hi BAW9DV,
I hate to hear you are having issues. While there will not is not a specific software utility that will complete the tasks desired, maintenance can be completed from the front panel of the unit. Windows also has an application for faxing from the computer as well that may work with this device. Please see the information below that may enable the functions desired.
Faxing:
1. Use Windows Fax and Scan
   A. Type Windows Fax and Scan into search box
   B. Configure fax machine for use. Click Here to view Microsoft documentation for use. Note: This is a 3rd party website. HP and I are not responsible for content of this site.
   C. Select New Fax
Maintenance tasks from front panel:
Running the Clean Print Cartridges Utility Click Here
Printing setf-test page Click Here
Evaluate test page Click Here
Align the Cartridges: Press setup-Press 5, then press 2
If you the work around options are not acceptable the 8600 model would most certainly meet your needs when compared with this unit. However I encourage you to contact HP to see what upgrade options are available for this unit. It will most likely be another Photosmart model/type unit, but in many cases upgrades are offered at a discounted rate to our valued out of warranty customers. Global contact information can be accessed Here.
P.S. If you upgrade through technical support, be sure to ask about carepacks. Extended warranties may also be available at a discounted rate for upgrading.
Hope this helps!

I have two kids with ipod touches and we use one windows computer, can i use one apple id or do they need 2 seperate ids

WE were a one itouch family and then my son got one on his birthday. My daughter had an account full with gift cards. When I added my son's to the computer I used the same apple id and now everything is being billed to my cc, when she purchases even though she has credit it goes straigh to my CC. Help, how do I fix this?

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.
