  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  
  

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  
  

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

  
  

  
  

  
  

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

• Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems KB976264 80242014 error code

  Hello

  I use Windows 7 x 64 system. I have a problem with the "update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems KB976264" 80242014 error code and the status "pending to be" appear next to him. I think that the update has been installed in part because whenever I'm turning off the computer there is a message "system is preparing for configuration" and when I turn the configuration but still start, it stops when it reaches 35 percent. The computer restarts and then there is another message that the configation was not successful and the changes are in return.

  I tried to install the update manually from the Windows Web page but there is always an error code that the update is not available for my computer, even if I download the version which should be compatible with it.

  Could you please tell me how to reinstall or uninstall the update not to be bothered by my computer restarts every time that I turn it on?

  Thank you
