Backup will be to re - install?

I finally decided to reinstall my vista Home premium, because I can't update and tried every remedy on this forum. Before I do--I do a return general up - but I don't want to save the problem (obviously) - nor do I want to lose all the precious files or links - can someone tell me how to prepare a decent upward please?

Thank you

If you read the link above, you will see that the complete PC Backup is NOT available in home edition Premium, only in the cases and above.

You can only back up data, etc. in home edition Premium, not the entire system...

For future reference for backup of the entire system in the Home Premium edition, you need 3rd party Software.

And follow the advice of Dave regarding the purchase of an external hard drive to back up to.

  • IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition preinstalled but no XP installation CD. Will need to re - install XP from CD after planned hard drive upgrade. How can I create a CD to install XP from the installed system?

    Hi, I bought an IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition pre-loaded in 2005 (the XP key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop), but did not receive an XP installation CD - I understand, it is a common practice. I want to improve the internal hard drive (for a bigger) then you will need to re - install XP from CD. They tell me that there is a way to create the XP (on the CD burner) installation installation CD but have no idea how. I can't imagine I'm the only person to have had this problem. Can you tell me where I can find the instructions how to do this please? Any help is welcome. Thank you very much.

  • Satellite L850 - Win8.1 will not let me install the chipset drivers

    Hello

    After I've upgraded to pro 8.1 windows 64 bit 64-bit windows 8 (preinstalled), I thought that windows will not let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64-bit), but they stay with windows drivers installed for them.
    The Device Manager displays all installed and properly using. In addition, during the implementation was executed to install the chipset driver, he skipped most of them, to install a missing driver only (unfortunately have not kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the Device Manager (automatic search or manually navigating the computer files downloaded from the site), but it keeps saying that the drivers are up-to-date (drivers with the version from 2006, when later seen on the site are 2014). Any suggestion what to do?

    Model name: Satellite L850-1MK
    Version of the operating system: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600
    CPU: Intel (r) Core i7-3630QM cpu @ 2.4 GHz
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7600M

  • ANY update for Silverlight will fail: it will download but not install

    I have Windows 7 Edition Vista Home Premium; and noted that for several years ANY update for Silverlight will fail: it will download but not install. I understand that a seller of windows is not installed, looks like mine done in ' 05.There is something on the part of Silverlight is not signed digitally.  My record of updates shows NOTHING for Silverlight. There is a single entry, "Microsoft Silverlight" in the updated register and register the program. I can't uninstall, even by Microsoft'sIlverlight Home Page on an installation or uninstall. Been through the web, don't want to spend $ on something I don't know. What I have has been disable Silverlight to add it in the menu under Internet Options.

    Anyone know how to get rid of something to do with Silverlight? With thanks... LarryWX.

    I don't have a solution to your problem of "dvd".
    I have a suggestion:
    Forget to take the backup of files with dvds.
    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of files.

    A hard disk of 1 TB post can be had less than $100, to the Canada. The United States will be even less.

    Thanks to the external hard drive for backups of files, you don't have to sit by the computer and feed it with DVD whenever he asks. You can walk away. The computer will do its thing without you.

    A 2 x 4 in box will store all your files. No DVD more formatting. No more marking each dvd. No stacks more DVD.

  • HP recovery discs will allow me to install Windows 7 on a different partition?

    Hello world

    I intend on creating a system in multiboot on my HP laptop.  If all goes well, it will run Windows 7, Ubuntu 11.04 and the beta version of Windows 8 when it comes out.  Given that I do a partitioning to make it work, I'll have to reinstall Windows 7.  I wonder if the HP recovery discs will allow me to install Windows on a specific partition or is it just change to factory settings, install Windows 7 and destroy my partitioning work?

    Here are my relevant features (although I doubt it's important):

    HP Pavilion dv6-3210us Entertainment PC

    Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1, 64-bit

    Hello

    The recovery disks, everything will just return to go back to the factory setting, clear all custom partitions that you may have created.  A round way, that it would be to reinstall Windows 7, remove the recovery partition which will be re-created (and possibly the HP_TOOLS if this applies in your case) and to use the own windows utility to create an Image disk and that record to an external drive.  This can at least give you the option to restore the Image of a selected partition, if you need to.

  • Windows 7 will not let me install my Kodak Digital Camera C875 camera.

    Someone can tell me why Windows 7 will not let me install my camera, worked very well in Visa, any help out there?

    Original title: Kodak Digital Camera C875

    The best way to manage old cameras that have compatibility problems is not to connect the camera to the computer, but rather to remove the memory card from the camera and use a desktop card reader to make transfers.

    If your computer lacks a built-in card reader, you can buy very cheap () USB card readers

  • Updates will not download and install - NO ERROR CODE - updates remain at 0%

    For Adobe Support.

    I get the popup "update" whenever I connect to my computer and it gives me an error message but no code error. The update starts at 0% and stays there indefinitely.

    It's VERY frustrating because on top of working 10 hours today, I have now lost another hour, trying in vain to find a solution.

    By quitting their stand alone suite (CS5, 6 etc) and later support for it, Adobe has FORCED me to use their Cloud Creative suite subscription. While I HATE not being able to buy a standalone program, I like the CC Suite and I'm PAYING for this subscription that provides the latest updates. Now, all of a sudden the updates will not download and install and Adobe wants me to follow a set RIDICULOUSLY long and complicated steps to solve the problem? It's a complete and absolute nonsense!

    I am a self-controlled, respectable and intelligent individual, but it makes me want to use profanity! I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS NONSENSE.

    According to the latest information (see: Adobe : Cloud accelerates since 3.4 million paid creative members |) ProDesignTools) there is over 3.4 million people like me PAY for reliable use!

    Frankly, I'm so frustrated that I am very close to spearhead a national campaign to educate these users 3.4 million on the negligence of Adobe supported because it's visitors!

    WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM! ADOBE NEEDS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM! When you get this figured out, I'll certainly appreciate an e-mail from your. In the meantime. Be aware that each passing day, and whenever I see this pop up, it serves as a reminder that Adobe does not respect what they promised!

    Kind regards
