Can I install Windows XP on Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron?
New Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 and I want to install Windows XP - I have the drive.
Access the Dell support web site and search for Windows XP drivers for your specific model number.
Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.

If there is then Windows XP Download drivers to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them.
starting with the mother/chipset, SATA, Firewire card drivers (1394), LAN, Audio, etc, and so on.
If there is no drivers for XP, then chances are THAT XP does not install.
Updates BIOS (optional, only if necessary upgrade):
You should check to see if there was one, or sometimes several updates BIOS for the motherboard.
Read (if provided) which solves the update. Sometimes a newer BIOS update will fix the problem.
Read the instructions on how to your BIOS update/flash with a lot of attention and be of more
you understand the process.
Note: Do not forget that there is a risk of a bad flash/update occurs which can make your system unbootable.
For the problems of graphics card, see download the graphics card manufacturing site
for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your card.

I can't install windows on MacBook 15 inch 512 GB 2015
Hello
I just brought my new laptop I want to install windows on this 10 by bootcamp. I saw a lot of videos on youtube about installing windows on a mac.
And I have the iso of windows and proceed to installing windows subsequently after that download the file of taking in charge of windows there was an error popup "WINDOWS FILE cannot NOT BE COPYED". Later when I retried but I need to download a media file, so I download the separate media file instead. But how do I add this file to boot camp instead download it again.
Please help me with it on this error and the Windows Media file. IM using Bootcamp 6.0.1 so I think it's not see option select task during installation windows 10.
Can I install Windows on mac without having to install the media file. While I can install it later when windows is installed on BOOTCAMP 6.0 NOT the PREVIOUS VERSION.

Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?
Greetings!
The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.
I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?
What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?
I do not understand your question about "interface."
The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.
See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab
Your computer was preinstalled with:
Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)
and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.
My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.
Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows. That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».

Satellite Pro A40 can't install windows without using recovery dvd?
Hello
I can't install windows xp pro on my A40 Pro sitting unless I have to use the recovery DVDs including family XP Edition pro.
I own a copy of xp pro, but I just can not format the hard drive either through the xp pro Setup or using third party software.
all ideasThanks in advance
Hello
Maybe you have an old version of your Windows XP operating system in the Microsoft Windows CD.
I guess you are not able to install the OS, because some updates and SP are missing on the CD.
You should try to include service packs of MS, and then install the operating system.PS: I put t understand why you n t use the recovery CD. The installation is very simple and al Tosh drivers are pre-installed. OK, it s a Home version but there aren't huge differences of Pro

Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 14 p?
.. .thx for any info and/or messages...
Hello
Just to clarify something:
-If you want to install Windows XP Home edition, but do not change the BIOS settings (leave it in AHCI mode) at the beginning of the procedure of facilities you must load a SATA driver by pressing F6. That's only way to install Windows XP Home edition with success
-You can install WXP without driver SATA, but you must change the compatibility settings. Everything works fine, but if you change the settings on back ACHI you get BSOD every time when you try to start Windows XP Home editionIf you want to install the SATA driver please install WXP if you use SATA starts the driver before installing Windows XP Home edition.

Can I install Windows 7 on this computer?
If so, how to do this, please?I have very little technical knowledge, so easy answers please.
I would be eternally grateful for any help.Thank you very much
PollyOf course you can do it.
You can install Win 7 If you want to.
First, go to the BIOS (press F2 during boot)
In the BIOS disable secure boot with UEFI MSC mode.
Save the changes and now you could boot from Win 7 disc and could launch the installation.But just a note: you read the operating instructions and to create the recovery disk before installing what anyone on the laptop. The recovery disc helps you return to Win 8 in case you want to use again!

can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system
can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system
Depends on if you can get the drivers for your Windows 2000-compatible hardware; you need to verify that hardware manufacturers laicists site to check the drivers. Most of the hardware manufacturers are not even the creation of drivers for Windows XP that is newer than Windows 2000.
Check out the thread below (specifically the post from Andre Da Costa) from earlier today about the installation of Windows 2000 as a virtual machine.
