[QUOTE="RustProofCorn, post: 1608004, member: 145036"] chscag he says in his first post he has a external optical drive. So on with the issue. Do you own a copy of windows? When i say that i mean did you buy a copy and install it or did you buy a computer that came with a full copy? When you buy a HP, Dell, or whatever they usually don't sell you a full copy that you own to take where ever you want. Upgrades don't count either. if you have a legit copy you own that you are no longer going to use. Which means you can not have it on two computers at once. Then you can call Microsoft and ask them for a key that goes with the windows you purchased earlier. like was said before a ISO isn't gonna slice it. you can make a ISO of the recovery partition of the desktop you currently own but that isn't gonna cut it. Like was said before download a copy from Microsoft and once you have a legal key you can then go ahead with installing it Boot camp, Fusion, or VMware. I prefer Boot camp. you can't switch on the fly but if you decide to play a windows game Boot camp makes use of total resources of your current hardware. [/QUOTE]
