If I purchase an upgrade to Windows 8, can I use my Windows 7 retail license on a different computer?
Q. 2 years ago I purchased a retail copy of Windows 7 Professional. I want to purchase Windows 8, but what will that do to my (expensive) Windows 7 license? After I upgrade, can I install Windows 7 on a different machine using my Windows 7 license since my other machine will now have a Windows 8 license?

A. Yes you can install it on a different machine. Or you could even do a dual boot and have it on the same machine.

I just upgraded to windows 8 - I used to be able to watch youtube & play freecell at the same time but?
Q. I can't figure out how to minimize the freecell game so I can play freecell and watch youtube at the same time. Any suggestions? I am running windows 8 on a laptop. This worked perfectly on windows 7.

A. Start a game of Freecell. Put your pointer at the very top of the screen and it will turn into a hand.

Click and drag it to either the left or the right.

You can do the same thing with a keyboard shortcut: Win + .

Win + D to get back to the desktop.

Freecell will be open on the desktop where your web browser is open.
