Best practices to upgrade the Windows operating system

Hi all

I'm looking to improve vSphere Essentials Plus 4.1 to 5.5 in the near future. The vCenter Server and DB, is currently hosted on the Windows 2003 Server operating system on a physical server. I need to upgrade this server, Win2008 R2 until I can enhance vCenter to 5.5. What is the process for this task to upgrade using the same physical server?

Thank you

Andrew

    any command or something

    In Windows 7, you can get a lot of details by selecting Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, components, storage disks. It was very similar to Windows XP, but for all information users tend to use Everest or Belarc Advisor for additional information not available. Everest has been best Bellarc advice but they ceased to offer tan updated free version. However, the 2.20 version is always available from third-party sites.

    HP1000-1b10au

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the choice of a Windows operating system for your laptop and wanted to help.

    For the "best performance", you clearly have the right drivers - and the latest OS for which HP provides drivers for your laptop is Windows 8.  These same drivers would work in Win8.1.

    If you choose Win10 instead, there is no HP drivers and you'd be stuck using the drivers provided by MS and provide only the most basic features.

    Once you install Win8.1, then download and install this utility to prevent it to be updated to Win10: RCMP | Never10

    Good luck

  • How to keep the controls panel/glance through the changes of fonts more small-medium-large screen made through a window to customize the Windows operating system?

    Hello

    My application uses digital edition, ring and other controls with chains of control/label mainly composed of EditDialogMetaFont size = 11 (all optimized for the smallest font setting in a customization of the Win operating system window). When the user changes the font to the medium setting for example the police of all labels and controls is changed size = table 13 and all labels are misaligned with some labels even extending lines of Panel and thus become partially visible. How to deal with this situation, please?

    Thank you

    Martin M.

    The description of the metafonts sheds some light on this issue; It basically says that for a police metafont predefined size is not an absolute value and can change... The solution uses the fonts provided by the operating system, for example, Arial.
