Buy a new computer with Windows XP

I currently own a desktop computer that now requires to be updated for memory (softwrae sape memory!).  I don't want the hassle to change everything (I want to be able to transfer any form my computer to a new computer seamlessly) so my question is can I still buy a computer with Windows XP rather than having to upgrade to Windows 7?  Thank you.

Yes and no.

In the body of your message, your question has been:
I can always buy a computer with Windows XP
The answer is Yes. Here again, it will take a used computer. If you close this doing, I would spend no more than $175 on this subject. Make sure that it comes from a reliable source and has a license to run Windows XP as well as accessories sticker certificate of authenticity to this topic. There are also the seller will give you the means to reinstall Windows, preferably an authentic Windows XP installation CD.
To answer the question in your subject line, the answer is no.
For what it's worth, there's nothing wrong with buying a new PC which has Windows 7. There is a transfer assistant that you can use that will make the process easier. If you find it's too hard, find a qualified technician. Do not forget that you would still need to transfer files from your old XP PC to your XP PC to a little more recent opportunity, too (if this is the option you choose)! It is not as transparent as you hope. :-(
Or...
Maybe you can get two years out of your current PC (might as well as extended Support for XP will last for two more years). If so, we can help you with your memory most likely problem. Let us know. If so, we will need to know the make, model and model number of the PC and how much RAM is installed.

  • Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP? I have

    I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer.  All new computers come with Windows 7.  Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)?   I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back.  AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it.  I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years.   I would like to use XP on a new computer!   I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer.  Thank you very much!

    Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.

    If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.

    Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.

  • I have Photoshop CS6 extended that I bought as a student in 2012. It comes with a disc for loading. I loaded it on two computers. One of my computers is gone belly up so I had to buy a new computer with Windows 10. How can I reload the program?

    I bought photoshop CS6 extended as a student in 2012. I loaded it on two computers. A computer went belly up last week and I bought a new computer with Windows 10 on it. How to load the program on my new computer. I have the DVD disc. How can I got to talk to someone at Adobe? Don't they have any live support?

    Hi wayneharder,

    Use of the download link for Photoshop CS6 Extended below.

    Download Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications

    Once the application is downloaded and ready to install it, need you the serial number to activate it.

    If you already have a copy of one of them, then it's fine, otherwise check out the link below to find your serial number registered.

    Find the serial number of your Adobe product quickly

  • buy the new computer with windows 8 - How to turn off and add Windows Vista

    My new computer came loaded with Windows 8.  (no previous program it)  I HATE Windows 8.  Can I get Windows Vista from my laptop and move it to this computer?

    Hello

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop (HP, Acer, etc.) it is an OEM license and is linked to your laptop and is not transferable.

    If you have purchased a retail License vista yourself you can transfer as long as uninstall you Vista on your laptop.

    If you do not have a license make detail view you that your new computer manufacturer supply Vista drivers for this otherwise that you're wasting your time trying to boot Vista on it.

    See you soon.

    Buy a new computer with Windows 7 installed some time.  Came to use but without the provided disks.

    Could not go beyond "Enter product key".

    Buy a key, or do I have to get a new copy of Windows?

    whenever you buy must provide certificate of authenticity from the windows CD or another method to reinstall the OS,

    a Custom built PC will be very probably built using integrative system OEM or FPP retail media
    and the only option for this type of generator system to provide resettlement must provide the MS hologram CD/DVD,
    Contact the place where bought you the system and require the COA and Windows Media.

    Page drivers Canon MultiPASS F50 & the downloads shows nothing for Windows 7 (or even for Vista), so I doubt that it works.

  • Bought a new computer with windows 7. "psc 2210 all-in-one ' will not work with it....

    I have a psc 2210 all-in-one printer that I love. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and I can't make it work. The HP site said that I don't have to download the drivers because windows 7 has already installed, but the main thing is that I can't make it work. Anyone, please help. My printer works perfectly and I can't afford to buy another. (I have a 64 bit)

    HP should contribute to this situation. I'm a loyal customer of Hp, but it's ridiculous that they do not create a driver to work with their printers.  All computers are coming with Windows 7.  HP please find a solution!

    I could get my HP PSC 2210 all-in-one to print!  I don't know exactly, because I've tried everything I could think of.  My son is a computer on which it has upgraded to windows 7 (64-bit) several months ago - he was able to successfully print on my printer immediately.   I just did an install complete (I bought the full version, not upgrade) to windows 7 (64 bit) - a couple of days and I'm finally to the point where I'm trying to connect printers.  Here is what I tried... again, I tried several things, although I've been in that general area...

    connect the printer to the computer

    go to the CONTROL PANEL--> Device Manager

    Click the arrow to the left of the IMAGING DEVICES (to be developed)

    RT click on printer PSC 2200 (should be listed under imaging devices)

    Select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall

    Select / tick "remove the driver for the device.

    the printer will disappear from the Device Manager (and peripheral Imaging also if it was the only selection)

    Unplug the printer to computer

    re - connect the printer to the computer

    Device Manager automatically updated (takes a few minutes, the screen refresh let until the yolk! disappears).

    Go to the control panel--> devices and printers

    Select printer PSC 2200, select Customize your printer, then the printed test page

    I hope that you will get a valid test page.  If this is not the case, another option I tried was:

    Through the above scenario.  When you get to the step "select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall" Select UNINSTALL directly from this menu (be sure to select/check "remove software pilot")

    Continue with the remaining steps above.

    I also tried 'Update Driver' of one of the previous screens above... I would like to know if you have a bit of luck!   I'm sorry that's not accurate.  Yet once, I tried everything I could think of, and something finally worked!  (I don't think I tried to 'Turn off the pilot')   Good luck! .........

  • Why my data Ext Hard Drive WORD & EXCEL from my old computer does not recognize my new computer with Windows 7.

    Recently, I replaced an old computer running Windows XP with a newer computer of Windows7.

    I have TWO Toshiba external hard drives 2... one of them (Mdl HDDR250E03X) is used for external backup of data on my computer.  I started using it for my old computer that was running on Windows XP.  Due to a Trojan infection, I had to buy a new computer running Windows 7.  I thought that the hard drive is simply a plug-and-play device, BUT my new computer has not recognized that there is a device plugged until someone suggested that I make a change in the Device Management section (which only works at Midway).  My new computer now sees that the drive is there, BUT the data displayed under a name of file/folder (dec22a69bbd43e6966c9935e4720f7).  Data include WORD files, EXCEL files and .jpg files.  When I click on this long file/folder name, I get a long list of records as well as other unknown files that I don't recognize.  Inside each of the files is the SAME set of files (EULA, LocalizedData and SetupResources.dll.  When I try to save a WORD or EXCEL file on this disk, I tells me that the drive is empty, then the path and destination does not allow me to record anything.  I suspect that the problem lies in the Windows 7 software to recognize the hard drive but, I'm totally new to this Windows 7.  Everyone recognizes what is the problem?   I KNOW that the data is always there because I ran my virus on this single drive software and I could see many file names as they were read.

    Hello DuaneMeyer,

    What are you help save external hard disk?
    It is built in the backup part OS backup software or a 3rd?

    Please let us know.

    You should probably just download the demo version of the EP 12 and see if you can live with it.

    Download a free trial version or buy Adobe products | Adobe Downloads

  • I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another office.

    I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another desktop computer. My son has paid and downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium on this computer (Asus), not knowing that I had the free update. ASUS sent me free upgrade disks. Can I use these on another desktop computer? Or I can download Windows on another desktop computer and transfer my registration to it, and then use the Asus drives on this computer?

    Your question has nothing to do with the functionality of Windows Update (vs Windows upgrade), Jan.

    That being said, Asus only can answer your specific question. Good luck!
