• Can you install Windows XP Professional utility: Setup for floppy diskettes Boot Install on a flash drive?

  Can you install this on a USB flash drive, if you don't use no floppies? If you can, how?

  Can you install this on a USB flash drive, if you don't use no floppies? If you can, how?

  In addition to the above answer, even if your computer supports booting from a usb key, based on my experience, it is easier to use a cd rom. usb Flash drives can be very difficult to use to install windows. I did a couple of times but not without problems. If the computer you are using is able to boot at all, and you do not have a cd rom USB that you can try to install windows over the network.  Install windows from a flash drive is a long process. $30USD for a usb CD-ROM.

  See the article on the link below if you need to install a flash drive.

• can upgrade you vista Home premium to vista professional in order to install windows 7 Professional upgrade?

  Husband bought the windows 7 Professional upgrade.  Of course when it did not work and the message was to do a "clean install", we both had type light headed as we thought it that will take all day and probably does not work smoothly since is the most "literate" computer.  I did some internet research and according to microsoft, windows vista business upgrade to windows 7 Professional is an upgrade and not a clean install.  Is it useful to try and uprade my 64-bit edition windows Home premium windows vista professional in order to upgrade to windows 7 Professional?  I don't think we can get our money back because the packaging is open or I would say just that we trade it for ultimate.  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.  Also I don't know even where to download vista business or haow only as much as it would cost.  Thanks in advance.

  N ° there is no way to go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional OR Vista business without what you call a 'clean install', so there is no point in spending money to upgrade to Home Premium to business before the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.  Upgrade Vista Home Premium only allowed on-site is ultimate.

  Use Windows Easy Transfer to keep your files and settings.  Then, start the computer with the Windows 7 dvd installation and moving forward.  Do not remove Vista.  Windows 7 upgrade installation should detect a copy installed Windows so that you can use the upgrade product key.  Once you reach the installation type selection screen, you will see the upgrade option is grayed out.  Choose the custom option to continue.

  If you want to do a clean install, you can use the tools on the installation type selection screen (until you click on custom) to reformat, etc., but this is not necessary if you don't mind remove the old Windows folder later.  If you start with a blank hard drive your upgrade license will be a problem then don't attempt is not a clean install of the old way.

• I installed Windows XP Professional on MacBook Pro with Dell-branded OS. How can I legally activate it?

  I installed Windows XP Professional on MacBook Pro with a Windows XP CD is a Dell machine.

  I want to activate windows now, but I came to know that the Windows XP Professional license is no longer available on the market.

  Please guide me this license to purchase to activate it?

  If the Windows 7 key can activate windows XP Professional?

  I don't want to go to Windows XP Mode because we have one standard on our local network for all PC is Windows XP Professional.

  Thank you

  Khawar Pasha

  First of all - what you were doing was not a legitimate path in the first place.  The Dell OEM was probably already used on a Dell system at some point.

  Second - to activate Windows XP Professional OEM, you need a product key for Windows XP Professional OEM.  No, the Windows 7 licenses will not help you.

  Probably your only choice (and is not the best) is to locate someone sell Windows XP Professional on the Internet, find the provider that you can trust most, purchase and use of the CD and the product key you get to install.

  @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

  You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

  Windows Movie maker 6.0 comes with Vista.
  2.6 MM Windows does not come with Vista. It is not a 'new' program. It is a compromise version.
  Excerpt from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=34
  Overview

  Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista's Movie Maker version.

  To test whether your computer can run Vista's Movie Maker version:

  1. on the start menu, click all programs.
  2. click on Windows Movie Maker.

  If Movie Maker starts, you must not download version 2.6.

  If you get an error message that says: "Windows Movie Maker cannot start because your video card does not support the required level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration is not available", download and install Movie Maker 2.6.

  Windows Live Movie Maker is better, contrary to what you feel. Maybe, you're just not used to it?

  How can you install version 2.6? Go to the net.

  Hello

  The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...

  Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...

  The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...

  Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...
