Always use Windows 7 or 8 after installation of 10?

So maybe this is a stupid question, but I just wanted to be sure...

After you have installed Windows 10, it is still legal to use the Windows 7/8 on another machine or upgrading using the same license?

Hello

No, it's a free update related to the operating system that you are eligible. To allow to use Windows 7/8.1 or Windows
10 on the computer of qualification but only one or the other and not on another machine.
You can not even dual boot the two unless you have two completely separate versions under license.

Once improved, you can return to the eligible OS and later re-apply the upgrade however
always alone can be installed and used at the same time.

  • Get windows error blue screen after installation Service

    I'm getting error " PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA_ (nischifk.sys)" blue screen after installing the VISION acquisition software in my OS Windows 10.

    I tried to install GO twice and got the same error.

    Awating for your valuable review

    Hi piZviZ,

    Sorry to hear about installation problems going TO that appeal to you. I guess you use going TO February 2014 or slightly earlier - can you confirm? There was a problem with one of the components, NEITHER FlexRIO going to understand which caused this exact problem on systems with a UEFI BIOS. We have since fixed the problem. If that were the problem, here are a few options:

    (1) install GO without Support IMAQ i/o for all cards of the R series (1473R, 8237R, etc.). This means that the affected FlexRIO component will not be installed.

    (2) update to a newer version of GO - I think that going TO August 2014 f1 shoots in the FlexRIO patched component that could solve the problem. If you choose to upgrade, I would recommend just upgrading to the last GO, if you are capable of: going TO August 2015 f1

    (3) keep the version of going TO you and patch the component FlexRIO: How can I get a blue screen after installation OR FlexRIO 13.1?, NI FlexRIO 13.2.0 Patch détails

    I recommend just update to the latest going TO if possible.

    Kind regards

  • Windows Aero became invalid after installation of my HP printer, it has disappeared from the list of themes.

    Hello, I use Windows Vista Home Premium and since I bought my laptop Windows Aero worked fine on it. However, recently I installed the HP printer software on my laptop and after I finished I opened a Web page explore. When I did that an error has occurred, which I don't remember right now but I'm sure it had to do with the installation of the printer, because it was the first time I came across him and it contained the letter HP. I pressed OK and then the theme is back from Windows Aero to Windows Vista Basic and now I'm stuck here without the possibility of return to Aero. I've been looking around and try different solutions, but nothing worked again. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hello

    With the display card drivers button to complete an install/uninstall/reinstall is to restart the computer. There is no directive specific beyond what you've already done (remove via the control Panael/programs and Freatures). You just need to restart normally to clear the system before performing the next step.

  • Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7, cannot start after installation

    Hi everyone, I really hope someone can help me with this!

    OK, I've always used Imageready CS2 to open avi files to edit and then save as animated GIF without affecting quality (what part of PS CS2 I paid for) on my old laptop with Windows XP in the past.

    So I upgrade to PS CS5 (paid) I have installed successfully on my new laptop with Windows 7, but until now, I am dismayed to find that I can't open avi in PS CS5 files just because I have 64 bit, not 32 bits even though I couldn't find the 32-bit program anywhere (apparently I found the 32 bit in searching in the Start button (, but it opens always as 64-bit?).

    So I thought I would try to install PS CS2 in Windows 7 using my CD and found that the activation part no longer works which led me to find that I could download a copy of PS CS2 without the bit of activation (yes I did uninstall it before installing PS CS2 without activation) everything was fine BUT... until I tried to start my laptop next time It wouldn't boot correctly at all, only to her for this boot Animation screen then black with the cursor in the middle or, rarely, in the log on screen is not working but that's all, so I had to do a system restore to get it in working order less the CS2 PS manage

    I thought it was the fault of the other things I've downloaded at same time as xvid codec decompressor (so I could use VeeDub64) so I downloaded the codeces from different sources and rebooted to see if it boots ok (it did) then I tried to install PS CS2 again but same thing happened during the reboot - fail to start and I had to do some system restores (as some points did not ) until I'm hardly it is in working order once again...

    I see that some people have PS CS2 which works perfectly on Windows 7 with 64 bit because they have changed the path of the file during the installation of the program? Or I must have the 32-bit program somewhere that maybe I don't have it because my PS CS5 does not extend? Or the other of these works would be? To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to try as I can kill my laptop this time and it is only about 2 years!

    Any help would be appreciated!

    That's the good news about the CS2. I don't know what was the hiccups.

    If you still want CS5 32-bit, you can try an uninstall/clean/reinstall. If you are asked a CS2 (qualification s/n) I guess that your old serial number CS2 would do.

    If this isn't the case, you will need to call Adobe and use the code challenge system to install CS5.

    First address cleaning tool: use the CC cleaning tool to solve the installation problems | CC, CS3 - CS6

    Challenge code: apparently, Adobe has a challenge code system.  So, if you have the old serial number of the upgrade and you call customer service.  The customer support has a challenge code procedure where they give you a code that overrides the problem.

    Hmm... can not do it on a weekend when closing the customer.

  • I can't publish a file using Windows Movie Maker despite after every single step and instruction

    I use Windows Movie Maker c. 5.1. (Build 2600) on a computer running Windows XP Professional 2002, SP 3. I try to publish a movie file which is a revised version of a WMV file. In other words, the original file is a file WMV is 534 MB.  I am editing the film by dividing and by deleting scenes, adding transitions and titles.  I am able to save the file (for a WMM file) but impossible to publish the movie.  I checked that (i) the files are in the correct location, (ii) the file does not exceed the limit of 4 GB, (iii) the destination does not exist (I tried everything from my desktop to video files).  I tried every possible resolution and the file type.

    I would change the software of movie at this point if I had not invested so much energy and time behind this project.  Help, please!

    Hello not happy with WMM,

    You get an error message when you try to publish?  If so, what is it?

    One thing you might try is breaking your video into 3 or 4 smaller sections and see if they work / will be published separately.

    The most common causes of this problem are:

    • An inconsistency in the store of Windows services. Maintenance of Windows store is a feature that is required to install the service packs.

    • A program on your computer, such as an antivirus or antispyware, interferes with the installation of the service pack.

  • Windows 7 unrecoverable system after installation of ArcGIS - KB973688 and KB954430 errors

    Hello!

    I am running Windows 7 ultimate x 32 and windows update will not install two updates after installing ArcGIS 9.2:
    -Update for MSXML Core services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB973688)
    -Update for MSXML Core services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430)

    I tried several times with retry and installation manual several times with and without boot and startup (disabled UAC; admin install...). No question.

    I get to kb973688 errors:
    -Error code 643 (try it with windows update)
    -HRESULT: 0x800736FD (installation manual try, it stops at 2/3 progress bar, saying "Publishing product information").

    WindowsUpdate.log said several times:
    -WARNING: Failed to evaluate installed rule, updateID is {...}
    -WARNING: Failed to evaluate installed rule, updateID is {...}

    Between the parentheses, there are different channels such as D8BD0CF7-C4A8-48A8-9B1F-E791CE07F934.

    I tried to uninstall the updates with Add/Remove windows components, but no components are presented.

    CrapCleaner (ccleaner) tool shows, however, that there is a system restore point at a time where KB973688 was supposed to be installed.

    Finally, I tried the system restore to a couple of restore points, but restoration said that he cannot restore (!).

    So my last try: clean install from Windows 7, Windows XP Mode, installed ArcGIS 9.2 v. in Win XP Mode and I was back again smooth and clean.

    My question is: how is it possible that any application can corrupt and Win 7 so much! We hope enough that I got the chance to start, but if not, how can I recover my system and I want to say my system restore points and my options to add or remove system components?

    Have a happy new year!

    I found the following solution on the ESRI website that has worked for me.  It is a minor registry fix which gives more storage space for the Windows registry:

    Update MS in question above installed as soon as this fix has been applied.

  • I have Windows XP Home Edition & tries to use Windows Movie Maker 2, after having made the film, he won't let m not record my movie?

    He's saying that he cannot save the movie to the specified location. Ensure that the use of original source of your movie files are always available (which they are!) that the backup location is always available - what it means?

    Pls help

    Thank you inadvance

    The most common reason, you see this is because Movie Maker is unable to manage one of your source files.  Movie Maker prefers to video .wmv and .wma for audio, so if you use other types of files in WMM 2.1, you should try to convert them to these types of files first.  Freemake has a couple of converters (Freemake Video Converter and Audio Converter from Freemake) that can do this quite easily.  Or you can look around.

    Another reason, you could see it is if your project has a lot of pictures.  The version of XP Movie Maker (WMM 2.1) was not too well manage memory and could not refuse to save your movie once it takes about 100 photos.  If this is the case, try to divide your project into two (or more) separate projects and recording each part as a separate sequence.  If it works, at the end you can put them back together by creating a final project and adding partial movies created previously.
