  I have Win7 Pro licenses available, but will not install an upgrade, as a new installation, crushing everything.

  Thanks in advance

  Pro should work ok, you may disable some services start with windows to reduce the amount of memory used, 1 GB of memory is not really enough memory to run W7 pro very well, it will work, but may be slow until reduce you the memory usage.

  Don't know what the max memory for this model, specifications say it's 1 GB, but it is incorrect.

• Windows 7 Pro upgrade for reuse

  My last computer was shipped with Vista Home Premium. I bought Windows 7 Pro update for this computer. The death of this machine, I bought another HP with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I reused my disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade successfully. I have Windows 7 recovery discs that were created before the installation of Windows 7 Pro upgrade. Now, I pre-ordered Windows 8 Pro. When it happens, I would use my Windows 7 recovery discs (Home Premium) to bring the machine to its original state, and then install Windows 8 Pro Upgrade. Then I would use the disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade to upgrade to another computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Will there be problems reusing this disc again?

  Hi flnettles,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  If it is a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own XP/Vista license qualification). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be in the format / deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.
  
  If it is licensed OEM - No. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

  If you have trouble activating Windows 7 you can call Microsoft to activate it by following these steps:
  1. with the operation of Windows, click Start, then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
  2. press enter on your keyboard
  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option, then dial the given number and hold for a real person.

• Win7 Pro upgrade will affect functions?

  Hello again!

  Thus, this thing comes with Win7 Starter.  I have 2 licenses for Win7 Pro.

  1. can I use Windows anytime upgrade on this since Lenove has something custom on that?

  2. If Yes, what will be the impact of the upgrade be?  Advantages or disadvantages for the features of the Tablet?

  Thank you

  DAVE

  You can switch to any version above the Win 7 Starter and everything Lenovo added will be there. I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and the upgrade, you will get the features of the Tablet you will not get in the Starter edition. Also in the Starter. can't remember, but was sure that you get not only the unique touch features multi-touch features. To update just go system then click on upgrade Express. Then just follow the steps and then it will ask you to put your product key and it will download and upgrade your Starter Edition. If I myself remember well it took my 3 t 20 minutes to upgrade to Ultimate edition.

• Accidentally deleted Windows 98 when trying to reinstall XP Pro upgrade.

  I wanted just a fresh reinstall of XP Pro, so please help me with my specific problem if you can.  I was using my version of XP Pro to re-intall upgrade.  Instructions for reinstalling confused me and I inadvertently selected an option that has removed the original 98 OS during installation process.  Given that my copy of XP Pro, is to install an upgrade not a complete new OS, I can't proceed because my 98 files are gone: (...) (but perhaps not fatal?)  I stopped the process as soon as I realized that the option I chose was probably not the right, but it seems that it was too late.  Using my XP Pro upgrade cd installation could not proceed when I tried again because the original 98 OS files are now missing. :(

  I got this computer set up with a legitimate 98 and XP Pro upgrade for several years.  I can't find my original of 98 (I can't find it in stock and gives me an injury so I can't dig for it, also, it could be anywhere).  So the problem is this: I need to restore my 98 operation system somehow somehow (without my cd), so I can use my XP Pro updated to get back to where I was, a work computer XP Pro.  That's all.

  Is it possible to do, either by MS support (I was registered through Windows Genuine Advantage or just what it's called so I guess they can check that my BONES were and are indeed legitimate) or can they help me with another installation of 98 so I can re - install usimg my upgrade back to XP Pro? Or another solution? Somehow to restore the deleted files? Please note: I can not afford to buy anything right now, I am out of work right now, so thank you very much in advance for any suggestions and the reasons to buy Windows 7 or buy something else, but these solutions are NOT viable for me right now, but thank you again if you were going to think that.  What I really need help's suggestions as to what can be done to help me get my current system facing up and running using what I have on the spot.

  I appreciate sincerely any help you can offer!

  Hello

  You can try the steps in the following article, if perhaps a backup before installation.

• Can I use my Win 7 Pro Upgrade to upgrade my laptop running Win 7 Home?

  I bought the Windows 7 Pro upgrade before realizing that I had bought the wrong upgrade to what I had on my computer. I ended up having to buy a Win 7 Home, then update to Win 7 Ultimate, so I could keep all my programs in tact. Now, I'm about to get a laptop. If the laptop has Windows 7 Home installed, can I use my Win 7 Pro upgrade for the version of Win 7 Home upgrade? If not, what version on the laptop do I need if I can use my already purchased Win 7 Pro Upgrade? There is no other computer autour who can't use my upgrade, it seems, because I ordered the version of 64-bit operating system, so I guess that laptop must have an operating system 64-bit as well.

  Anytime Upgrade using year already bought Retail Pro/Ultimate key

  In Windows 7 Home Premium, type Anytime Upgrade in search programs and files box on the start menu, and then click the Windows Anytime Upgrade.  From there, you can enter your product key of Windows 7 Professional/ultimate retail and perform a simple upgrade.

• How can I use my HP OEM W98 cd "System Recovery" on a new processor & hardrive (not HP) so that I can have W98 to use my most later bought XP Pro upgrade cd?

  I bought a HP with W98 OEM desktop computer installed about 10 years ago. Then about 5 years ago my company offers an XP Pro upgrade for a good price. When I upgraded, first of all, I reformatted the drive, but then XP would be not be installed because it could not find existing W98.  So I reinstalled W98 using the HP cd "HP System Recovery" & "HP Application Recovery", then with the XP Pro upgrade.  Question: I want to build a new computer for faster components (case, CPU, motherboard, hard drive) 10 years old HP processor is suffocating under the weight of applications & today virus scanners.  On a new cpu & hard drive, I can use the "HP System Recovery' (&"Application recovery"if necessary) to repeat the process to get W98 installation so that I can then proceed to Windows XP Pro?  Or is the only "HP System Recovery" will install on a card mother HP and W98 vintage cpu?  I just can't justify rebuying the entire operating system again and I like XP Pro, but I need new hardware CPU and more/more fast disk drive.

  Hi BuyOnceUpgradeOften,

  Thanks for posting. As you said, you will need to install the 98 upgrade for XP. As for the installation of 98 on another machine, it may or may not work. You will need to contact HP and see if this is or is not against the terms of the EULA, they you provided, and if you can or can not install it on another machine.

  I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

  Greetings,

  I have a Lenovo desktop computer that I would like to upgrade. Firstly the power supply. I was wondering what is the stronger power supply that I can put. So that when in the future when I purchase an upgrade I won't have to worry about food being a problem. I also noticed that the power cable area is located in a different place when I look at power supplys. Is there a certain format that I need to keep in mind? All the detailed data would be a great help. If you need more going off and then comes the series I left in the subject, let me know. Thank you.

  Clean installation Win7 Pro 32 bit WinXP Pro?

  HI -.

  I am running Win XP Pro 32 bit on my laptop. I bought the laptop as well as a retinal camera. The company has half partitioned HD for photo capture, but I have never used for this purpose. It is 2G, and since half is partitioned, the thing is full. The ability to restore to the factory settings has been disabled by the seller of the camera. I want to install a new OS so...

  My questions are:

  1 do an install clean w / Win7 64 bit on this laptop? Or is it limited to runing 32 bit only OS?

  2. is there a Win7 Pro for laptops? I noticed on Best Buy description a (PC) listed after the name: Windows 7 Professional (PC).

  Thank you very much! I want to install electronic medical records and I need the new OS wrong!

  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.
