3847 Inspiron bought at Costco: the two Windows 7 and 8.1 out of the box?
Howdy, y ' All,.
End of last year, has bought an Inspiron 3847 of Costco. We were told that Windows 7 Pro and Pro 8.1 would be available to the first power. Just unpacked and he started to Win 7. We prefer to use 8.1 but the only indication of 8.1 is a DVD titled «Media Windows 8.1 for Windows 8.1 recovery products 64 - bit» The DVD label also reads "Already installed on your computer." Diskmgmt.msc shows the disk of 1 TB with three partitions: a no, the second is 21,67 GB recovery and OS occupies the rest. No indication of another partition from the OS.
I tried to boot from the recovery DVD Win 8.1 and requires the removal of the partition of the OS which is now Win 7.
Where can I find Win 8.1? Also performed on system tools, but no sign of a partition Win 8.1.
Thank you very much.
Upgrade LEVEL DBAR and save the plant in WIN7 together at a concert of 16 or LARGER USB Flash drive. 8.1 drive will have ALL the drivers you need. A $10 usb wifi adapter addresses this by giving you access to download the drivers with an NIC that uses drivers 8.1 disk.

Your other option is to set aside the current drive and install 8.1 on a new hard drive empty. If you download and install 1.7 DBAR, you will be able to do a restore of windows 7 factory and a restoration of factoru 8. The backup of the plant on a flashdrive 16 gig will survive all of the dying hard drive. But it will only install on a new drive, if you upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7
1.6 DBAR retrieves only the exact OEM drive. The 1.7 will recover to ANY reader who is at least 80 GB.
Then, you can remove and install the Red disc WIN8.
Then reinstall DBAR 1.7 key USB and a usb wifi adapter so that you can download the drivers for windows 8 for the VIDEO and Audio from Realtek and NIC chipset etc.
Once everything is working you reinstall DBAR 1.7 and it will create a recovery of 8 factory windows that you can save a 16 gig or more large usb flash drive.
You will then have the option to install 7 or 8 at any time in the future.

I had the same exact system and it came with WIN7. I don't have a disc of WIN8, but I downloaded a Microsoft.

Recently bought studio 15 laptop with windows 7 and I try to run need for speed pc underground game on her, but she does not appear and the message "speed.exe has stopped working" appears on the screen. can someone help us?
Hi Andy,.
I checked the reported compatibility list, and the game is listed as compatible. Work in 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7? I will try to reinstall the game, if you did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 recently. If it is a new installation and does not, please visit the EA's Web site to get the latest patch for the game to see if that helps address your problem. Let me know if you've done all that and you still have questions, and we can try something else.

If the bios password, you will need to contact the person that you bought it from. They should be able to provide the password.
If this is not the case, they will have to transfer ownership to you. Dell - transfers of ownership or the transfer of international property form
After you have the property, then you need to contact Dell for the password.

I have been using Microsoft Picture It for years to design a ton of graphics for my business and now I bought a new pc with Windows 7 and find that my true love Picture It! is not compatible. I never dreamed that this would be the case for a software that is not even a decade or just spent thousands on the new pc would sit immediately to the store that it came. I really feel that Microsoft has cheated me on something that I paid for and invested so much work making it unusable, and it brought my small business to a standstill. What other program is available that is compatible with Windows 7 that will allow me to edit and view existing and another .mix Picture It! file format and contain all the features of Picture It? I'd be willing to buy other Microsoft software to Picture It compatible with Windows 7 if necessary.
Hi all
I know you are all disappointed that Microsoft Picture It is not compatible with Windows 7.
Your comments would be better heard if you send to the site Windows 7 comments.
http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195Here are your options when the software is not compatible:
If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP, Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-WindowsIf you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.
If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player
(www.vmware.com) or any other virtualization 3party software and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.Sincerely,

I have a psc 2210 all-in-one printer that I love. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and I can't make it work. The HP site said that I don't have to download the drivers because windows 7 has already installed, but the main thing is that I can't make it work. Anyone, please help. My printer works perfectly and I can't afford to buy another. (I have a 64 bit)
HP should contribute to this situation. I'm a loyal customer of Hp, but it's ridiculous that they do not create a driver to work with their printers. All computers are coming with Windows 7. HP please find a solution!
I could get my HP PSC 2210 all-in-one to print! I don't know exactly, because I've tried everything I could think of. My son is a computer on which it has upgraded to windows 7 (64-bit) several months ago - he was able to successfully print on my printer immediately. I just did an install complete (I bought the full version, not upgrade) to windows 7 (64 bit) - a couple of days and I'm finally to the point where I'm trying to connect printers. Here is what I tried... again, I tried several things, although I've been in that general area...
connect the printer to the computer
go to the CONTROL PANEL--> Device Manager
Click the arrow to the left of the IMAGING DEVICES (to be developed)
RT click on printer PSC 2200 (should be listed under imaging devices)
Select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall
Select / tick "remove the driver for the device.
the printer will disappear from the Device Manager (and peripheral Imaging also if it was the only selection)
Unplug the printer to computer
re - connect the printer to the computer
Device Manager automatically updated (takes a few minutes, the screen refresh let until the yolk! disappears).
Go to the control panel--> devices and printers
Select printer PSC 2200, select Customize your printer, then the printed test page
I hope that you will get a valid test page. If this is not the case, another option I tried was:
Through the above scenario. When you get to the step "select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall" Select UNINSTALL directly from this menu (be sure to select/check "remove software pilot")
Continue with the remaining steps above.
I also tried 'Update Driver' of one of the previous screens above... I would like to know if you have a bit of luck! I'm sorry that's not accurate. Yet once, I tried everything I could think of, and something finally worked! (I don't think I tried to 'Turn off the pilot') Good luck! .........

You can turn off the automatic updates, Yes, but doing so would leave your computer at risk. Simply put with him: after another reboot or two, you will be fully patched AND fix!

I bought the student/teacher edition. I have a Windows 7 and an IMac. My instructor told my subscription would allow my to install the product on 2 PC. Is this true?
Just to let you know, there is a difference between installation and activation.
You can install the software on as many computers as you wish, Mac or PC.
However, you can activate the software to be used on up to two computers at the same time (via help > connect / disconnect)
