6.5.5 and upgrade of Windows 8 Pro workstation

Hello

is it possible to install Windows 8 Pro Upgrade in a virtual VMWare Workstation 6.5.5 machine? I get the error "Failed to initialize the HAL" what configuration W8 is starting the pc for the first time.

Best regards, Franz

No way - the new version that can run Windows 8 is version 8.0. *

If you really want to run Windows 8 consider using WS 8.0.4 - If non - to 6.5.5 stick - all later versions are slower

  • Can I restore the backup Windows XP on a new computer with Windows 7 COA and upgrade to Windows 7?

    Original title: upgrade question.

    I currently have a PC running XP in a system with an IDE drive. The system has many applications that the company has moved the installation discs, so I need to move the contents of the entire disk to a new system. I was about to do the following:
     
    System backup with a recovery boot disk, in this case a USB.
     
    Restore the entire operating system to a new system that will have a SATA drive in it. The new system will have a COST for Windows 7.
     
    Start the XP and upgrade to Windows 7.
     
    My question is, will it work or the absence of the COA of XP on the new system will prevent me to install?
     
    Any help would be appreciated.
     
    Thank you

    Short answer, "no, this will not work."

    It is unclear what you mean by 'backup' and 'restore', but it seems that if you are referring to the creation of a disk image or a clone of disk on an external drive and then either restore the image or cloning to the new computer.  Assuming that both of these computers was provided with Windows pre-installed, this process will almost certainly result in a facility that cannot be 'activated '.  In addition, unless the software you use has something like Acronis Universal Restore, restore the image from your old computer to a player in a new computer with a different hardware simply will not work.

    In addition, the lack of an XP license is not the issue.  There are several problems with the process you describe, but basically, an "upgrade" from XP to Win 7 requires a "custom installation" which means that applications should be re-installed.

  • Upgrade to Windows 10 and return to Windows 7 Pro

    I upgrade my Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10, I went back to Windows 7 Pro. My question is... After months of July 2016, I have to buy a new key of windows if I decide to go back to windows 10 on my windows 7 pc pro? I downloaded an iso file of windows for windows 10. It will not work after the date limit?

    If you upgraded this system completely 10 WIndows and ACTIVE without problem - there is now a Windows 10 license attached to this computer for the life of the machine itself.  This means that (because the machine does not change much - especially the mother card motherboard) If you go back to Windows 7 NOW and you decide at 9 months (which would put you beyond the free upgrade offer) to Windows 10 out there - you should NOT have to pay anything.

  • VMware Fusion 5 and upgrade to Windows 8-

    Hello

    I am trying to install a partition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 bootcamp. The installer is at 30% and dies. The error message is "Windows 8 installation doesn't have." The process stops and returns me to Windows 7.

    I ran the process a few times with the same results. I ran the upgrade wizard. He tells me about a secure boot is only not available and maybe I need to install an application to play DVDs on Windows 8.

    Someone at - it advice? Bit a noob to Windows stuff so apologies if I'm missing out some crucial information. I have had a look through the forum and could not see anyone have reported a similar problem.

    According to the info I found on the page of Toshiba, the laptop is preinstalled with common system of 64-bit Windows 8.

    If you want to upgrade this Windows 8 Pro version, you can buy the upgrade of Microsoft.

    But the question is if these updates would be really necessary for you...

    Wizard Boot Camp is stuck at "Download windows software support...". "0 minutes 0 seconds remaining (for 48 hours and more) ' for Windows 10 Pro.

    I did Boot Camp with 8,1 this system successfully but the upgrade of Windows 10 dorked BootCamp upward when it is added to the system partition.  Has had a lot of work, but ultimately got all partitions disappeared and I tried Boot Camp and got it.  I erased the disc and then reinstalled El Capitan sweet factory without bringing more parameters.  Now, I still get the same error?

    I tried a few sizes of ~ 50 to 170 G with no luck.  It's on a MBP 2016 15 "with retina, 512G SSD, 16G RAM, GPU display.

    Any suggestions?  Troubleshooting?  I can't yet find/say if this thing creates something useful for a log file or?

  • Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro fails miserably, why?. What can I do to make sure it works this time.

    DV6 - 7247cl just bought 1 week ago, I bought windows 8 pro upgrade pack and backed up my windows 8 base images.  When to perform in-place upgrade today ' today-all seemed well until it has restarted and came to a start with three boxes menu: Windows 8 on volume 4

    Installation of Windows

    I tried all 3 and each of them became all black and then blue screen, your computer has encountered a problem....

    I went into recovery options and each tried and nothing worked.  The last option that I came was to make Factory Image Recovery, I need Windows 8 Pro because I join domain and use Bitlocker and start with the virtual hard drive.  Why it failed, would it secure boot or UEFI.  Please tell me what I can do to get this update to work.  The upgrade looked like it was working but then wouldn't boot into Windows more after the reboot.

    Sorry for the experience with the support of Microsoft. I wasn't expecting that. Let us try the old process to restore the system to the factory settings, uninstalling unwanted applications and then create an inplace upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. Let's see what happens this time.
