• Windows 8 came pre-installed on a hp tower built, am now upgrading my computer, how can I keep windows?

  Windows 8 came pre-installed on a hp Tower pre-built, am now upgrading my computer (new Mobo, Cpu, Gpu, cases, etc.) and guard my drive hard, how can I keep windows? or I have to buy a new product key?

  Hello

   
  Please contact Microsoft Community.
   
  The problem description, I understand that you want to upgrade the hardware and need to confirm how can you keep your operating system.
   
  In this case, I want to tell you that you want to keep your drive hard if you do not have to reinstall the operating system and that you upgrade the motherboard too and in the OEM version product key is integrated motherboard, so in this case, you may need contact system manufacturing to re activate your product key.
   
  For reference, please see:

• To combine PDF files, how can I keep security to prohibit printing and text entry?

  To combine PDF files, how can I keep security to prohibit printing and text entry? In Windows Explorer, I highlight the individual PDF files, right click and choose "combine with Adobe Acrobat. I'm done and get my single file with all the PDF pages included, but nowhere I can't find where them prohibit printing of the any PDF combined or refusing to be seized of the text... as I'm able to do when I export to PDF from InDesign.

  It's really a question of Acrobat, but in any case the answer is you open the file in Acrobat and go to properties (Ctrl + D), and then click the Security tab.

• How can I keep my 2 email accounts and all others using HTML? It lasts only temporarily, i.e. for the day...

  (1) - when I open Firefox, I recently have clicked on the hyperlink at the bottom of page html, it works very well for my gmail and yahoo accounts. However, it is not a permanent solution, it apparently lasts only for the daily session. How can I keep my internet, al. HTML permanently?

  (2) - Firefox v24.0 is supposed to be fast and quick! However, I am not find it so. When I click on a link or open a tab, it is frustrating that the tab work too long to open... More than not, I click reload, which appears to help a little. Any suggestions?

  (3) - I just printed the Mozilla Support Q & A on the Firefox error message indicating that it cannot load the site... How to I remedy this, as it appears constantly with my Yahoo email login?

  (4) Finally, a few weeks ago I jumped inadvertently bookmark 'HEALTH' (I have a bookmarks toolbar), which is excellent (had with WinXP too, now with Win7), but it seems to me to pop, double click or something or other, which blew a folder of bookmarks in the wild blue yonder! I have posted responses here and elsewhere, print and read all instructions variable to navigate and search, all nothing is helping. More sage advice please?

  with satisfaction, and thanks in advance.

  # 1, is the link to use HTML to simplify the interface?

  Maybe it's that the site stores your preferences in a cookie, and you may have set Firefox to delete the cookie when you quit the browser. There are a few built-in ways to do this:

  • The Firefox value "keep [cookies] until: I close Firefox" on the Privacy Options (you can create an exception for your messaging sites)
  • The value 'Clear history closing Firefox' Firefox on Privacy Options
  • A private browsing window allows to visit the site of your mail

  It is also possible that the modules or external software can clean the cookies, or that there is a problem with the database file Firefox uses cookies to store.

  # 2, you have this problem just started recently? If you find one any relationship with the site content type (for example, pages that use Flash or other media)?

• How can I keep windows genuine in my laptop after formatting hard drive?

  Hello
  I have a dell laptop l502 with a premium windows home instlled in hard drive 7. now I need to format the hard drive, but how can I keep my windows 7? is it possible to save or I loss my windows genuine?

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  This will allow that you reinstall Windows 7 while maintaining a true.

  Make sure that you back up your data before reinstalling:

• HP recovery discs will allow me to install Windows 7 on a different partition?

  Hello world

  I intend on creating a system in multiboot on my HP laptop.  If all goes well, it will run Windows 7, Ubuntu 11.04 and the beta version of Windows 8 when it comes out.  Given that I do a partitioning to make it work, I'll have to reinstall Windows 7.  I wonder if the HP recovery discs will allow me to install Windows on a specific partition or is it just change to factory settings, install Windows 7 and destroy my partitioning work?

  Here are my relevant features (although I doubt it's important):

  HP Pavilion dv6-3210us Entertainment PC

  Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1, 64-bit

  Hello

  The recovery disks, everything will just return to go back to the factory setting, clear all custom partitions that you may have created.  A round way, that it would be to reinstall Windows 7, remove the recovery partition which will be re-created (and possibly the HP_TOOLS if this applies in your case) and to use the own windows utility to create an Image disk and that record to an external drive.  This can at least give you the option to restore the Image of a selected partition, if you need to.

  Kind regards

• PowerEdge1800. Can I reinstall Windows without screwing up D: Partition?

  Our old Poweredge1800, win2k3sp2, has a raid perc with 3 disks. The machine stops booting acpitabl.dat. I started in the recovery from the CD console, and chkdsk shows unrecoverable errors on C:\ I was unable to see even a directory C:\Windows, so I think that's where the errors are.

  Here's the nut of the problem: I need to copy some directories off the D:\ partition on an external USB hard drive. We have NO good backup of these specific directories. It is quite irritating that Recovery Console won't let me access anything below D:\. Is there a procedure known to:

  1. reinstall or repair the C:\Windows\ directory, WITHOUT damaging the partition D:\, or

  2. a bootable CD image that allows you to access the disk D:\.

  I know, I should have backups, and I do, for the most part. These files were updated on the eve of this system has taken a nose dive.

  Yes. When you start the Windows installation, it will ask you where you wan to install and you will show the existing partitions. It will show C: and D:. You need to remove C:, then select the unpartitioned space to install to.

• Can I download Windows 10 and keep Windows 7 on a separate partition

  I have Windows 7 if I download Windows 10, can I download it on a partition on my hard drive so I can keep 7? If this isn't the case, I have Windows 7 on a disk, I can upload on a partition and level 10?

  I have the opportunity to choose another drive or partition where I want the update installed?

  No, it will take you run an earlier version of qualification and start the update of the release candidate.

  I want to dual boot instead of replace my current version of Windows.

  If you need to install 10 Windows on a partition or separate hard disk, you will need to purchase a full license.

• How can I keep windows update to change the location of folders of rediredcted

  My work computer is in a domain.  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3.  Due to the large size of the 'My pictures' folder I redirected it to on of my local readers rather than let him lie on our server (Windows 2003 SBS).  I also redirected "My music" folder on a local drive and the 'My Favorites' folder on the server where the "My Documents" folder is also.  It works very well without any problem, most of the time.  In some way, some, but not all, windows updates will change the location of the "My pictures" folder on the server.  When this happens, I know that as soon as I login after the reboot because it will take about an hour before the computer can be used.  The reason for this is that the folder is moved (not copied) on the server with a connection to ethernet 100 base-T.  My another stay of redirected folders where they are supposed to be, just the 'My pictures' folder is moved.  I tried to find all the registry entries that have to do with the location of this folder and found only two, those who originally, I changed to redirect the folder in the first place.  This has happened for the 4th time, when I greeted Windows Update to install the latest updates last night (13/02/13).  It becomes very boring and time would trust because I have to put the folder on the local drive and reset the folder redirection and the whole process takes about an hour, plus time lost after reboot.  Help please.

  Hi Steve,.
  

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I see from the description of the problem, you have a problem with the location of the folder my pictures change after installing Windows updates.

  The question you posted would be better suited in the Small Business Server Forums. I suggest you send the link.
