Perform an upgrade of Windows 7 installation or an earlier version

You can upgrade to the existing installations of Windows XP or Vista to Windows 7. You need at least 10 GB of free space on your Windows partition.

Start your Mac in OS X.
Use the tables at the end of this article to make sure that you have a Mac that takes in charge the version of Windows that you are installing.
Download software support for Windows (drivers) bound to the table, or locate the OS X Install or the restore disc supplied with your Mac so rated.
Decompress (unzip) download it and place it on a USB drive formatted in FAT (MS-DOS). Let this flash drive connected to your Mac during installation.
Start your Mac from the version of Windows that you currently have installed.
Use the Windows Installer to upgrade to Windows.
After Windows Setup is complete, your Mac starts in Windows. In Windows, open the file "BootCamp.exe" on your USB stick or the installation disc supplied with your Mac. Follow the prompts on the screen to install the related drivers for your Mac.

After the driver installation is complete, connect to Windows to start using it on your Mac.

Have a great day!

Compatibility of the OSX installation discs?

I went in the OSX installation process and realized, I had the second installation disk. The version I have only sold in a bundle and is inexpensive, where some other versions are much cheaper and sell with only 2 disc, which is exactly what I need. Compatible discs, and if so which?

My disc 1:

Mac OS 10.4.8 version

Disk, Version 1.0

2Z69-5967-A

Year 2007

You seem to allude to the original installation discs that come with the Mac. The ONLY place you can get those legally is Apple. They work as with the Mac model, they were originally shipped with. They are licensed to be used with the machine they accompany. The license cannot be legally separated from the original machine. The price varies so much is because criminals are free to charge what they want.

Call AppleCare and see if you can buy a replacement for your machine-disc set. The charge is usually minimal.

error code 80070490, installation disc, and company did the door is no longer this computer

I know that this problem has been addressed several times, but I can't find an answer that can help me. Bought my Dell Inspiron from Staples in 2008 and it came with the installation disc. Staples is no longer wearing my computer and have not been very helpful with previous problems. I sometimes get the updates installed, but since 16/01/09 updates, most have failed. I was wondering what are the options with regard to getting this fixed a problem I had.

Thank you very much

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

I have lost my Windows XP Professionsla installation disc that came with computer and I see the message asking me to insert disk 3 to reinstall the files. What should I do?

I lost the Windows Professional disc that came with the computer. I get a pop up requires me to insert the disc 3 of which I don't have the installation disc. Even if I try to do a system restore I need the disk. I can't lose information that is on the computer and do not have an external drive. What should I do?

There is no disc 3 of Windows XP Professional. Windows XP (other Media Center if I remember well) was a CD.

You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
-Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
-Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
2. click on the System Restore tab.
3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

-Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
-On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
-Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
-Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
-Click OK.
-Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
-Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

Windows Vista reinstall without installation disc (Acer Aspire 6920 G)

Hello

I would like to ask for help. About a year ago I bought this laptop with the original Windows Vista validation but key without a Windows Vista installation disc. Now, I would like to reinstall my system.

I downloaded the file .iso Windows Recovery (of size 120 MB), it burned down and tried to reinstall Windows. I got to the stage where I type the validation key, but always when I typed that key, it appeared that the key is invalid (I checked this certificate stuck on the laptop and it seems to be original).

Thanks in advance

This is NOT a Vista reinstall the drive, it's a record of STARTUP repair!

In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, Acer is normally Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

How to create a Vista 64 installation disc, in preparation for a windows 7 UPGRADE?

I'm about to buy a 64-bit Windows 7 UPDATE. My Toshiba laptop came with a Vista 64 operating system CD. I know there is a patrician who has this info.

How create a Vista 64 installation disc if (God forbid) I never do a regeneration full of my system?

You must contact the manufacturer of the computer for this procedure - it's their process, not Microsoft. Procedures vary by manufacturer and sometimes even depending on the model. The information can be displayed on their Web site, if you are looking for that specific computer - but if available and free, I would just contact support by phone or chat or however and the explanation directly from a human being. Often only make a set of disks, so don't forget to do things right the first time.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Download on the Microsoft site for Windows 7 installation disc.

As a first step please check the product key. I typed in the figure of 25 key product exactly as described on the Microsoft Certificate, attached to my office when I bought it new. The o/s was preinstalled by the manufacturer Fujitsu-Siemens.

Microsoft will not check my product key stating "it is not supported or my version is wrong. It's ridiculous, my windows is already active and running for many years in Vista with a certified product ID. In addition I received regular updates of Microsoft windows.

So, how can I fix this nonsense to complete the installation disc?

Unless you have already tested the compatibility of your computer with Windows 7: -.

Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - download [This can run on Windows XP, so it must be able to run on Vista]

Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard - download [This can run on Windows XP, so it must be able to run on Vista]

In addition to running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, you may want to run an equivalent for Windows 10. Unfortunately, you will have to use a substitute because Windows 10 pre-staged at level [GWX] cannot run on XP so I guess it cannot work on Vista. So, to launch the wizard to upgrade Windows 8 instead which doesn't work on Vista. Windows 10 system requirements and Windows 8 system requirements are pretty much the same if the results will be useful. The first versions of the system requirements of Windows 10 has also stated that the processor (CPU) must support SSE2, NX, EAP extensions, but I have never established if my CPU reaches this spec [I just know that it works fine] and I have absolutely no idea if this part of the obligation has become irrelevant or is simply omitted for brevity.

It is worth to run the Upgrade Advisor, even if you have already decided to go and install the new OS. At the very least they would warn you of the hardware components you need to pay attention to. Later, you can get better drivers installing the OS gives you - where to find the hardware drivers.

I realize that you do backups of all of your own files, files of installation of any applications that you downloaded and product keys for all your applications.

I realize that you will also do an image of the system so that you can go back to square one if everything goes wrong. You must also make sure that you have both made & tested the hot spare / boot disk required by your utility Imaging System. Macrium Reflect is an imaging Center free I've seen many people recommend.

If you have a factory restore utility then you might find that your computer manufacturer has also provided a way to backup who until USB so that you can run the procedure to boot from USB, although the attempt to upgrade preventing your computer from starting.

I'm not trying to say he'll be all this trouble, just that it will be worth the effort to prepare for this eventuality.

most have the product key, or the installation disc. Can anyone help?

I have recently upgraded to windows 10 and hope to do a clean install, but I had not given this option. On the Microsoft site, I've been advised to go back to my previous version of Windows, 7 and then repeat the upgrade. I did and when I tried to upgrade, he did a validation test to see if my copy of windows is genuine and she failed the test. He had the validation test before that I first have to upgrade to Windows 10, where it is spent. I have more the product key, or the installation disc. Can anyone help?

DVD Region Free - Satellite M70-160

As much as I know there is no legitimate way to make your player multi-region. Everything you do is illegal. Google around and you will find a variety of information and different tools. If something is not the disc is more under warranty.

How to make DVD player region free player on Satellite L40 - 14Y

I can not play region 1 DVD on my player. (PowerDVD, windows player) The usual 5 times have been used.

I've heard of software to make your region free player, but I don't want to ruin my notebook or losing my warranty.

So is it a software or the ability to solve this problem, or do I really need to get an external hard drive?

Another question, is my Toshiba DVD player flashes for a while that, for no reason.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to make the DVD player region free legal way if you have already changed the region 5 times code.
Now the region code is locked.

Of course, I have read on various websites that it would be possible to remove this protection from the region and to unlock code region but to my knowledge, this is not legal and very risky.

Such tools flash the firmware, but it could damage the master/slave/c-salt settings and then the BIOS does not recognize the disc correctly. In addition the player couldn't handle CD/DVD media correctly. In this forum, you will find some discussion on issues

So to answer you question. using this 3rd party software would be detrimental to the training and would negate the warranty.

Good bye
