Hello

Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

I see you want to know if you can install programs on a drive with no operating system.

I wish to inform you that this is possible with only specific programs, which give the user an option to choose where the program is installed.

When a program is installed, it runs in program files, which lies in the operating system drive and can not be moved elsewhere.

Another reference:

Microsoft does not support changing the location of the program files

I hope that you found this information useful.

Please get back to us if you have any other questions about windows.

  • Will there be repercussions to Program Files on one partition other than the operating system of the installation?

    Will there be repercussions to Program Files on one partition other than the operating system of the installation?  Most if not all the software packages allow to customize the installation.  I had an experience with OFFICE 2013 and this allowed me to install on a separate partition.  After installation, I checked the menu START was 2013 OFFICE & I was able to launch PwrPt without complications.

    My motivation for doing this is that I have several versions of LabView which occupies the huge disk space.  So if I can separate the backup image of my OS program files is greatly reduced in size.  This allows me to record several images of my OS by dates without needlessly chewing my external hard drive.

    Anyone know this & if yes are there complications or questions?

    Appreciate any feedback

    Hi, Henrik:

    Specifications of your PC seem to meet all of the hardware requirements to be able to fully run W7.

    P D 915 processor is capable of 64-bit.

    ( (4M-Cache-2_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB http://ark.intel.com/products/27515/Intel-Pentium-D-Processor-915-)

    I recommend you max on your memory to 4 GB as a 64-bit operating system requires more memory to run a 32 bit OS.

    A 32 bit OS will perform better on a PC that is running less than 4 GB of memory, unless you need a 64-bit system to run 64-bit programs.

    I would also start the W7 Upgrade Advisor to confirm what I posted.

  • How install on FF and TB on other than the C: drive?

    I try to install FF and TB on a Windows 7 computer, today, 27/10/15. I started with FF and made sure that the end of the installation has been downloaded on the D: drive. The C: and D: drives are separate physical disks. The stub is for FF worm. 41.0.2 Nevertheless, it is installed on the C: drive.

    I read two articles that seem to answer my question, but they do not work for me because the installation stub does not offer the option to choose custom install and it does not offer the option to select a destination drive.

    I use another computer while askin that question. At best, I've changed the assumptions. I am trying to install on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer.

    If the stub Installer offers an option for a custom installation, use the full installer - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ - it's all I've ever used, and I do a custom always location.

    Remember that no matter which logic / physical drive either Firefox or Thunderbird is installed on, the bulk of their respective folders is installed in/AppData/Roaming/on the drive where the operating system is installed. This is where the profiles will be implemented.
    There are ways around that, but it can be committed depending on how you talk and other special requirements.

  • Can I install programs on external hard drive?

    Original title: external hard drive

    I need to free up space and my hard drive. Can I take MS Works off the hard drive, put it on an external drive and use it or is it related to Windows XP and prevent this use? Same question for McAfee, Adobe and other routines.

    Hello

    It depends on the program you are trying to install. Generally, it does not work. Check if t he program is written to install on a portable hard drive. MS Works will not work if you install it in an external drive.

    Hope this information was useful.

  • What is Microsoft NET Framework programs and I can uninstall to get space, or are they important to the operating system and my pc works?

    Microsoft NET Framework programs are indicated with a number in the box sizes when I go to the dialog box to uninstall but I don't know what they are and as they have Microsoft and NET in the titles, I think twice about uninstalling to win space in case they are something important. I have no idea what it is, never use it and if I don't need it would uninstall but I'm not sure I should because it might be important and actually run in the background while I use the pc for other tasks. Someone knows and can explain what are these programs? I appreciate it and appreciate help for an admitted car computer illiterate full below all new novice owner, trying to get the hang of it, but I'm trying! Thank you!

    .NET framework components are required by many programs to work. They provide common functions for them.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework

    Why do you need to "save space"? Programs do not take a lot of space given the size of modern readers. The values shown in programs and features, are unfortunately often inaccurate.

    If you are new to computers, avoid changing the way Windows is set up. It's the surest way to cause you problems. Relax and enjoy using the programs you like instead of worrying about what's going on under the hood.

  • How can I change the language of the operating system Vista in English

    Anyone know if it is possible to change the language in Vista Home Premium, or if it is possible to download a language. I have a laptop that I bought in Spain and thought that I would be able to change the language to Englaish, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case.

    I thought it was that a good deal at the time would be be a costly mistake - although I am really happy with the laptop Toshiba, the language causes me problems.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

    Do you want all Windows Vista in English? Well, what to say to my knowledge, you cannot simply pass the language of the OS.
    It of only possible to turn the regional and language options for keyboard or the date and time.
    But it's not possible to change all writings, menus or titles of the BONES.

    In this case, you will need to buy an English version of the Vista operating system and install again!

    By the way; Vista offers the function of Windows Vista multilingual user interface but I didn t test m and I do not know if this will change the language on the image of Toshiba Vista not 100%.

    Thanks guys,.

    I have it! Extensions of the hybrid.

    I use Adobe Extension builder 3 in Eclipse to code and create the zxp for Premiere pro panel.

    See the hybrid extension HTML panels advice part: #10 packages / installers ZXP | Photoshop, etc I added a hybrid extension using the manifest editor Panel within the extension Builder. It creates an automatically mxi file with all the properties, I have to change the maximum version number of host in the mxi file to make the extension in the first pro CC 2014.

  • Can I install Windows XP with a different CD than the recovery CD?

    A friend of a friend ;) has a 5200 satellite. He hides a very bad virus on his book, witch, I couldn't remove after 2 hours of work, so I would like to install Windows in order to "clean up" the system. The problem is: it is just to visit here, and his recovery CD is in his hometown, so I don't have the recovery CD.

    My question: can I use any other Windows XP CD - and then use the key, that I can find under the laptop? Must it be a 'home' - CD too, or work any CD - or ONLY a Toshiba Recovery CD won't work?

    It is important for him - if that doesn't work he'll buy a new Windows XP in the next 2 days. Because he pays me a little bit for my work, I can just try and then try again the next day or so.

    PS: How much is a new recovery-CD - ONLY the CD - when I buy a Toshiba dealer? I live in Germany.

    Thank you

    For the installation of the OS, you can use what you want. If you don't have a recovery media, you can use the facilities of Microsoft CD. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba supports the page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support & downloads.

    It is very important to install everything in the order of good facilities. If you need further assistance please write again.

  • I lost my desktop background on image and I'm left with one blank screen other than the icons

    I am a user of Skype and when I go on Skype I lose my background image the top desktop icons on the desktop are always there but except that I have now a screen empty, I had this back by a movement of system restore but I have now lost the image again using Skype again! How to solve this problem?

    Hi RaymondManley,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3 return the wallpaper if you close the Skype program on the computer?

    4. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
