  • Ask about upgrading to Windows 10 in Windows 7.

    Original title: Windows 10

    I have Windows7 64 - bit OS.  Pop up to install free Windows10 is annoying to say the least.  While I appreciate the option to install the latest free OS, I hesitate because:

    (1) I'm not sure to have enough RAM, especially since I already have problems with how I use the computer, loads of the ESC-keeping open all the time, receive messages that my RAM is running low.  (2) I don't know how much space it will take, although it seems that I would have plenty since I have more than 50% of my hard drive free.  (3) others in the Community said to be hesitant because it is not always perfect;  (4) without upgrading to Windows8, I'm not sure it's wise to go through 2 OS and I don't want a complication cause me to reinstall my Windows7 on the road, especially since I don't have and don't has never, the disc of the operating system as it was already installed on my laptop when I bought it from BestBuy.

    So, what do you propose?  Buy another computer with Windows 10 already installed?

    Windows 10 is perfect?  Or, does still having Windows8, as well as issues of 8.1?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Thank you for showing your interest for Windows 10. I will definitely help you with this.

    I share a few Microsoft help articles that can help you to clarify your doubts. Sometimes we face compatibility problems with drivers after the upgrade to Windows 10, but it's fixable. Your computer may run slowly if it doesn't have around 16 to 20 GB of free space on the hard disk. You can run Disk Cleanup to delete unnecessary files and folders from your computer.

    You can go through the compatibility for Windows 10 report

    Also, check specification

  • Thinking about upgrading to Windows 7 from Windows XP

    Would like to know if there is a kit to upgrade my Ram RAM 1 G 704?  I have a HP Pavilion a1514n computer.

    Hi, David:

    I chose the #1 my first choice was from there, down in priority.

    I don't like slimlines (or any what SFF) for 2 reasons:

    1. inadequate heat dissipation.

    2. very difficult to upgrade. Need to worry about low profile devices, media attachment and in the case you want to add a video card, the anemic power supplies they have.

    A lot of people like them because they take much real estate. Make nice Home Theater PC.

    Touchsmarts, I feel pretty much the same thing for the same reasons.

    When you click on one of these PC where I said to add a video card, you can customize your order and select a video card from the list of options.  One of the video cards listed with 1 GB of memory will be enough for your needs.

    These maps will give you the possibility to connect an HDMI cable to your TV, where if you do not add one, I do not think that the integrated Intel graphics card gives you this ability.

    In addition, a discreet (add) video card uses its own built in memory, Vice President with the PC system memory. If you have more memory for other tasks and better video performance memory embedded discrete video card system. You win the comings and goings.

    If you look at some of the features, are there no free updates to 6 GB of memory?

    So, let's say that you went with my #1 - the PC desktop HP Pavilion p7 - 1380 t.

    Cost with a quad processor core i5 and 6 GB of memory (2 GB memory free update) base = $549.99.

    Then, you click on the Customize button and add the video card... (scroll in the upper part of the image after you press the green button and you can select to customize stuff. Just click until you see the graphics card option). So, you want to select the... 1 GB Nvidia GeForce GT620 [DVI, HDMI, VGA via adapter].

    Cost is now only $599.99, if you choose any other custom features. $400 under your limit of $1,000.

    I'm pretty confident that you will be happy with this Setup. I would be.

    But please... do not hesitate to collect other opinions.

    I like Intel based PC on AMD. Others will say boo to that, and say AMD is better.

    The choice is yours...

    Please share back and let us know what you end up buying and if you wish.

    Kind regards

  • Questions about upgrading to Windows XP.

    Hello

    Support for Microsoft XP ended on April 8, 2014. However I always wonder to update my system, even though the last time it asked me to update, it was CAN I think because of the bug to explore IE, microsoft sent an update as a goodwill.

  • Currently, PC has viruses that cannot be removed by Mcafee, Avast, etc.. Thinking about upgrading to Windows 7, with a new facility.

    A new installation of Windows 7, Home version will get rid of all viruses?
    If so, do I just trust antivirus Windows 7 or is there another anti-virus (Avast, McAfee, etc.) I can run at the same time which will take care of any future problems?

    There is no "Windows 7 antivirus."  Though is an installation of Windows 7 from XP (which requires a disc format) is almost certainly going to get rid of your current malware problem (there are some "boot sector" virus rare which can survive with a format), you can quickly end up in a similar situation unless you change which seems to be not not very safe computing habits.

    The application named "Windows Defender", which is built into Windows 7 is only an anti-spyware tool (also true of Windows Defender for XP and Vista).  You need an antivirus application as well.  Microsoft Security Essentials is the current Microsoft free antivirus app.  As I understand it, MSE is good enough, although I'd rather pay for ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

    Whatever you choose, only run a real-time antivirus application, although it is perfectly fine to perform periodic analyses to use another tool.  In addition, it is very important to keep your system up-to-date by setting Windows Update runs automatically.  You must keep your applications up to date as well, because the attacks thanks to various applications such as Adobe Acrobat are not unknown.

  • Questions about upgrading to Windows 8/8.1 of Windows 7

    Original title: if I'm updated to Win7 x 64 x 64 Win8 and possibly Win8.1 Pro - install Question (and a few others) - I forgot

    It's been so long that I've updated that I can't remember (and feel stupid because it)-is it possible to update the OS without losing everything and having to reinstall absolutely everything (programs, drivers, etc.) and re-apply your settings (folder ranges, etc.)?

    I also have Office 2013 Home and Business that I still have to install.

    I think part of the reason why I'm hesitant is because I remember it took me a month of tinkering to get things e path, I wanted to put them again, and I don't want to have to put a lot more effort in.

    Also, I am on a PC, so not tech drag on the screen for me.

    Oh and hey - anyone know what they mean when they say "you need a TV Tuner to watch shows in Media Center"? Is this just dongle a little or something that I can get, or is it rather to tie really a 'cable' in my Inbox? Summer of wonder on this subject. Will I need another box my cable to connect to my PC company or what is a TV tuner, exactly?

    Any help and information would be deeply and appreciated muchly.

    Hello Raven,

    Please keep us updated on the issue.

    When you upgrade, your data and programs will remain. However, there may be a possibility that some of your programs are not compatible with Windows 8/8.1.

    In the same context, I proposed to refer you to the article see which works to ensure the compatibility of programs.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Thank you.

  • Ask about upgrading the hard drive for X230T

    Hello world

    My post here so apologies if an error. I have a model x230T 3434-CTO (fairly old )

    It has 180 GB SSD drive, which is quite less and I intend to improve it with a larger capacity SSD. I researched and found that my options are

    (1) normal SATA III SSD as samsung 840 evo
    [url] http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-evo-Series-2-5-inch-MZ-7TE250BW/DP/B00E3W1726 [/ URL]

    I'm not an expert in hardware and need advice from members here. My query is these 2 types of ssd compatible with my X 230 model (model x230T 3434-CTO) and are there any specification of ssd, I must keep in mind while making the order. ?

    I plan to buy one 512 GB mSATA and I already 180 GB normal intel SSD on the laptop.

    Welcome to the forum!

    The SSD/HDD in the Bay of 'main' should be 7mm, it is one thing to keep in mind.

    As regards mSATA - you can choose any one you want - and your current choice seems to be a reasonable, although I've never personally used the disk in question.

    FWIW, I have a 80 GB Intel mSATA in my X220T as boot drive and a 500 GB HDD classic in the Bay of 'main' for the data.

    Happy update.

  • Can Qosmio F20-136 - I upgrade to Windows 7?

    Hello

    I've owned a Qosmio F20-136 for about 4 years with XP Media Center installed. He and always does a great job despite the 1.6gz processor and 1.5 GB of ram. I was considering upgrading to Windows 7 However after looking I could not find any driver for the model for Windows 7 support.

    Could someone help / tell me about that? Obviously I don't want an upgrade disaster!

    Hello

    To be honest what do you think about upgrading to Windows 7 on a laptop for 4 years?

    In your case I Don t do this upgrade. This computer laptop isn't designed for Windows 7, there are no drivers on the Toshiba site. Just be satisfied with your XP, it runs much faster than Windows 7.

    Never touch a running system! ;)

  • Purchase of upgrade of Windows 8 on a computer but install it on another?

    Hi, I have a question about upgrading to Windows 8 Pro (this fall). I have a computer netbook with Windows XP license is installed. But, I just bought a desktop PC with free DOS (any operating system) because it was cheaper. He is more than capable to run Windows 8. Unfortunately, my netbook is required to operate Windows 8 screen resolution. It will be possible to buy an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro on account of my netbook under Windows XP and 'transfer' license then install to the PC (which is running Linux, but I hate it)? I see that it is possible to create a USB installation and 'redeveloped' from XP to Windows 8 is not true upgrade, right, since pretty much everything except personnel files will be deleted so I assume that a "full" installation of Windows 8 will be necessary to "upgrade" from XP to Windows 8...

    In any case, I hope that it will be possible. And I hope that Windows 8 will be available for the upgrade in Croatia? :)

    Hello Cridarius,

    The copy of Windows XP has been approved for the netbook, so you cannot install it on any other computer. It is also bound to the material on the netbook too.

    Your new PC is not an operating system, so it would be more sensible to buy a full Windows 8 commercial copy, when available. Copies OEM (which came with your netbook) are, as I have already said, related to the first PC they are installed on. A retail copy is not. Although you can install the copy you buy on 1 machine (you can not install it on two or more. To do this, you will need to purchase individual copies or multiple licenses.

    With a copy to the detail, assuming that, for example, your PC dies and you have purchased a new PC without windows 8, then you may install the copy to the detail on the new PC. I only use copies of the retail of Windows and install it on the new PC I buy. The OEM or the recovery backuip is then kept in the case where later, I sell the PC so that it is restored to the conditions of the factory.

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