  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Virtual machines off for more than 14 days

• I upgraded the ram and wish to have access to more than 3 GB, so I'll need to install Windows 7 64 bit

  Original title: Aero

  Yes please

  As the 32-bit drivers won't work not on Windows 7 64 bit is very important that you check that the 64-bit Windows 7 drivers are available for all your equipment (not only devices such as printers) before you upgrade. The Windows Upgrade Advisor is a useful starting point, but to be sure to look on the Web site of the manufacturer of your PC, or to defect, the manufacturer of the equipment.

  Presents a useful set of FAQS:

  It is possible to install Windows 7 using a flash rather than on a DVD player. Please see:

  Reader software Microsoft benefits at all?  Like many others before me, it seems that people have had problems to activate the reader software solutions.  Of course you can always read an ebook without DRM, but since you can't activate your purchased books are not available.  I would like a definitive answer, so that I can make a decision.  Should I give up and pass?

• Acer Aspire 5349 began to stop randomly, now can not stay on more than 2 seconds

  Hello world!

  I use my 5349 aspires for more than 4 years now running Windows 7. A few months ago, he began stopping at random - sometimes after an hour of work, other times - after 10-15 minutes.

  It is used mainly for light office work, but given his age, I decided it was due to the accumulation of dust or otherwise overheating due to thermal decomposition paste to the processor and the thermal pads - for the video chip. It is out of warranty, so I disasembled he replaced even if the thermal paste compound and the thermal pad seemed OK. There was no dust important problem as well, in any case seized the opportunity to thoroughly clean.

  After assembling and switching on, it ran stable for 3-4 hours which even helped me put upgraded to Windows 10 (32 bit). He rested for a few days due to the holidays here and then when turned on - again closed in about 10 minutes. After that no matter what I do - perform disassembly, check for loose contacts, CMOS battery, laptop battery, etc.-, he could not run for more than a few minutes from the Windows recovery and then stops again. In the last days it even can't stay for more than a few seconds before stopping again, so I can not even get into the BIOS.

  Laptop battery is good, because it has always been used as a desktop replacement, in all cases tried with battery and battery off nothing works. The power brick is one that came with it originally, even though it says LITEON instead of ACER. Tried another one with the same voltages and amps for an another ACER laptop - the situation didn't improve or change at all.

  Logically, I started reading here and discovered on exactly the same problems with other similar models, so I tried all the suggestions - replaced RAM, HDD, DVD, tried to boot from USB or DVD, tried to remove the build-up of electrostatic charges. I'm very suspicious of the latter, or any electrical problem / might like, because when I completelly demolish the mobile nut, i.e. by removing everything that can be removed and then back - it works for 10-15 minutes before closing.

  So, finally, the question is - is there suggestions that I could follow?

  The easy solution is to replace the MB in case it would help, or the completely portable, but I hate when I don't understand or diagnose a hardware problem and will make every effort to identify and resolve.

  See you soon!

  Google the keywords "5349" "mainboard" or "motherboard". Replacements to run $100 inc shipping, some on ebay U.S. and other China.

• Cannot create a virtual machine with more than 256 GB

  I thought that the max capacity 2 TB vm. but I can't create a virtual machine more than 256 GB. what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  You probably use a block size of 1 MB, which limits a single HDD 256 GB.  You will need a larger block size

  1 MB = 256 GB

  2 512 GB

  4 MB = 1024 GB

  8 MB = 2048 GB

  I'm trying to get audio only from a video. I went to record audio only: (as shown) and there is no ' audio only ' click. do I have to upgrade the machine to live music, and if so, how?

  If you are looking to get audio only from a YouTube video, all you need to do is read your video and while it's going to copy the link. Then on another tab, open listentoyoutube.com. Just follow the easy directions and paste the link.

  Hope that helps. I found out a month ago and I have 4 CD made from these audio files. There is a lot of fun to find obscure stuff and making CD of songs.

• I need to upgrade from microsoft?

  I got an email today supposedly from Microsoft telling me I had to click on the link to upgrade, I am normally very good spotting spam paypal etc and report them always, but they could not help with this one as paypal is not mentioned, I put in a search and found something similar that was spam then someone can you please advise me how to tell if something like this is authentic? Thanks x

  Hello PooshKat,

  First of all the email you received refers to Microsoft. Microsoft is a company not a product. The email informs you to upgrade from Microsoft, and not a particular product, e.g., Windows, Windows Live, Outlook etc. Alarm bells start ringing right on the first sentence.

  While Satya Nadell is the CEO of Microsoft, he won't go around sending e-mails to customers. Overall I've been an MVP for 13 years and I never got an email from Satya Nadell, Steve Bullimer or Bill Gates.

  Finally, the link in the email points to Micropix.net/includes/conf.html. While Microspix is it has nothing to do with Microsoft and the link leads to a site called "artekteknikhirdavat", which displays a fake Outlook page that requires you to sign. When signing into spammers have access to your outlook e-mail account.

  On no account, click on the link. Just delete the email.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
