Can I have Windows 8 removed on a new computer and install Windows 7Home Premium?
I have a gateway Windows XP with 2 slots for RAM. I just have to answer at least 1 GB of RAM required for Windows 7 upgrade. I would like to have more than just the minimum RAM. I'm not sure that the increase in RAM by buying two 1 GB RAM is all that is required to upgrade to Windows 7 and still have a stable and reliable computer. If I bought a new computer with installed Windows 8, Windows 8 could be removed and the Windows 7 Home Premium installed instead?
Thank you.
If you have an old XP PC with only 1 GB of RAM, it is not likely to Win7 or 8 to run at all.
If you buy a new computer, you can downgrade (people feel it is really an upgrade) to Windows 7 only if you have Windows 8 Pro. It is not normally sold on consumer machines. You would have taken specially for her. In this case, one lets you find a computer that comes with Windows 7 installed. There are still a few available for sale.
If you just want to buy a copy of Win7 then you could install it on a computer that is running Win8.
Microsoft says Windows 8 Pro machines can be retired legally to Win7 professional, but its restrictions on getting "real" bit Win7 are stupid
Earlier this week, I posted detailed instructions on How to "downgrade" (I use the term advisedly) a Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7 machine

On the old machine, you must first disconnect disable the subscription to this machine and then uninstall applications if you no longer want to use the apps again on this machine.
Please see the links below FRO the same:

I saw a previous question to a windows user, but it seemed that he was very long (speaking of the 3.x.x editions), and all links on this thread seemed to have only 3 updates. I just want to stay with the version of Firefox before this last update (30/10/12) who say 16.0.2 work well with my older Mac OSX. Can you provide me with a link to reinstall and forgive my ignorance, but let me know exactly what I have to do to avoid losing preferences and bookmarks and others? Thank you very much.

I am looking in the Microsoft page and I can't find the Advisor to upgrade windos I have laready run. Now I need a direction to download windows 7 anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance
Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.
Full version (retail):
-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
-Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
-Expensive
Upgrade version (detail):
-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
-require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
-Expensive, but less expensive full version
OEM System Builder version:
The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

I had photoshop on my windows now the graphics card has gone bad and you want to move to my MAC I pay every month and I am a student, so, how can I transfer accounts until I get a new computer
If you are on subscription, you just install it on your new computer and sign in with your ID Adobe that you used to buy PS when you arrive up to two installs, it will tell you that you have exceeded you install limit and asks if you want to disconnect other computers. Just so disconnect you. No need to have to disable or call Adobe!
