• Upgrade XP from SP2 to SP3

  Support for WinXP will end in April 2014, but existing support is for only XP SP3.

  I just had to reload windows and my installation disc contains only Win XP SP2. It has a link to SP 3 to www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24 , but it says that the update of the single computer use the Auto updates. This creates a problem t when you have only SP2 you cannot use auto update for SP3 because SP2 is no longer supported!  When I use the automatic update it does not download anything at the programmed time.  If I try to manually connect to update, it is said that SP2 is trying to connect to the page is not found.

  How do I get the version of the single computer to SP3 so I can upgrade from SP2?

• Disable a copy of windows 8 from a computer now broken

  Hello world. I have a biggest HTPC computer that serves me very well for the last 4 years. Unfortunately, some liquid cooling filter to one of the radiators in the case and destroyed the motherboard and processor. I've since replaced these components by modern coins (the upgrade was quite important). I wiped windows 8 a number of times and installed again wiping the hard drive, windows installation 7, the upgrade to windows 8 and finally to 8.1 (Yes, very round point). In this case, I also had to remove the partition completely from hard drive using diskpart to get the windows installation cd install correctly, so I guess it has something to do with it. Is it possible to disable the key entirely so that it can be reused?

  There is no real deactivation procedure, just reactivate by phone:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

  
  

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• I'll be able to move my copy of Windows XP from my old to my new system?

  I had bought Windows XP Pro CD 5 years back. now, the hard disk on which it has been installed is burned because of electrical problems.

  I bought a cd Windows XP Pro 5 years back. now, the hard disk on which it has been installed is burned because of electrical problems. Consequetly, I decided to upgrade to the full system with a new hard drive. The point is xp will activate on the new system? If this is not the case, then what I have to do? Did microsoft give me new key? I have all the invoice documents, product key, the original cd

  original title: xp will activate on the new system?

  If everything you change is the hard drive, you should have no problem of reactivation of the new facility.

  If your 'upgrade' includes a new motherboard, and then it depends if the XP you bought is a detail, an or an OEM one – if the retail trade, you may simply need to activate by phone.

  If the XP license you purchased is OEM, you cannot transfer it to a new motherboard except under the conditions of warranty replacement.

• Windows 7 Build 7601 this copy of windows is not genuine how to fix this? I bought this with a computer laptop almost 2 years ago.

  This popup just started happening today ' today - almost 2 years after I bought this laptop from Best Buy - with Windows 7 installed.  I installed as more late last night MS security patches.

  A systems Services - probably the Software Protection Service has problems in response to the requests.

  This is a rare error message (I remember only see him once before), and it may take some time to solve problems.

  The best is to start with probably a base chkdsdsk and sfc...
  running CHKDSK and SFC
  type in the search box
  CMD. EXE
  Right-click on the single file that is
  Select run as administrator
  -the elevated command prompt window should appear
  At the command prompt, type
  CHKDSK C: /R
  and press the Enter key
  We'll tell you that the drive is locked and the CHKDSK runs the next time he started - press Y and restart. The chkdsk command will take a few hours depending on the size of the disk, so be patient!

  Once executed, the command CHKDSK Windows should start normally (possibly after a second auto) - then run the SFC

  SFC - SFC System - Instructions
  Click the Start button
  type in the search box
  CMD. EXE
  Right-click on the single file that is
  Select run as administrator
  -the elevated command prompt window should appear
  At the command prompt, type

  SFC/SCANNOW

  and press the Enter key
  Wait for that analysis at the end - make a note of any error messages - and then restart.

  run another report MGADiag and display the results, and the results of what follows...

  Please, open an elevated command prompt window (Administrator) and use the following commands...

  net start sppsvc
  sc qc sppsvc
  SC queryex sppsvc
  SC qprivs sppsvc
  SC qsidtype sppsvc
  SC sdshow sppsvc

  Copy and paste the results in your answer, along with the EXACT error message you get when you try to start the service from the Service Control Panel...

• Install a single copy of windows from my laptop on my desk?

  I have a laptop that I upgraded to MS Windows 8. Now that I decided to sell my laptop I want to use this copy of Windows 8 on my desk. Is this possible. Can I uninstall it from the laptop and then install it on my desktop using the same product ID.

  Also, on the laptop can I downgrade it to Windows 7.

  You can transfer the license to another computer as long as remove you it from the current computer, on which it is installed. You can do this by reinstalling the original supplied with your laptop license. If the laptop is originally shipped with Windows 7, then you can reinstall it. If this isn't the case, decommissioning options are only available to the delivered computers pre-loaded with Windows 8 Pro OEM factory, no upgrade of retail licenses.

  Once you have reinstalled the original license, you can proceed with the upgrade of the desktop computer and reactivate it by phone.

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• An illegal copy of Windows XP can be upgraded to Windows 7?

  First of all, some context to information.

  About six months ago, I bought a Samsung netbook for the brother of my friend who lives in Thailand. The machine came with a genuine copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. In fact, I paid extra for having him on level compared to the Starter edition to Home Premium.

  Unfortunately, it is a perfect beginner and despite my insistence that he executed regularly AV scan, the computer has been infected with malicious software and became unusable.

  Since he had not made a backup he could restore the OS from, he took the machine to a local repair shop. Instead of tackling the problem, store deleted the installation of Win 7 (without contact with the user) and replaced by what I suspect to be an illegal copy of Windows XP Edition family. I say this because it does not display the Windows logo on startup, but rather a nice picture showing a number of ads.

  As the original operating system can no longer be recovered even if the machine is still under warranty, I am looking to upgrade to Windows 7 Starter. I'm not going to waste money on Home Premium this time well that as a lesson to the user to take over maintenance of the machine in the future.

  However, given that the current installation is probably an illegal copy of Windows XP, my question is, he will still qualify an upgrade?

  Samsung will quite happily sell you a set of reocvery for the original operating system disks - and you should have the means of the provider to be able to upgrade the system again (it's an Express upgrade, probably) - you can call if you are unsure. There should be the key in the paperwork that accompanies the machine (if it includes also a bunch of disk)

  You can borrow an external DVD drive? (or buy one - they should be available for less than $30-40).

  Samsung may have recovery located on a Flash drive - ask them.
