The upgrade to Windows XP?

Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

    Hello

    Thanks for providing this information.

    I would like that go you to this link: drivers PC laptop Compaq Presario CQ62-421NR. Once here use the "scan now" under the control of the updates. This will scan your laptop all the updates that are available. If you see something that indicates wireless, make sure that this update is complete.

    The other option to do this: go to the Device Manager (start type in search Device Manager), under network adapters, you should see the wireless card. Make a note of it (it must be a brand name) so that you can reply back with it. You can then right click on it and try to update directly from the driver.

    If neither help in updating the wireless, please answer back with card network information. In addition, the operating system that is currently installed on the laptop.

    Thanks for your reply.

  • Problems of DirectX running Win7 via Bootcamp on Macbook Pro

    Hello world.

    So I installed Win7 64-bit on my Macbook Pro (Intel Dup 2.66 GHz, 4 GB DDR3, NVidia GT 9400 M) using bootcamp eager to play games. I kind of want to go pick up Starcraft 2, but I don't want to buy a mac version of a game as much as I could get a PC of office within the next year some time.

    Anyway, so when I run the games, usually they are simply launching without saying anything or it will give me some message about Direct3D. Then, when I go in the DirectX diagnostic tool, it lists acceleration DirectDraw, Direct3D and TGP of texture as 'not available '. I checked and made sure the hardware acceleration has been at the highest level, who he was.

    Then, I went online to see what others were doing, and I found in a few places where people were installing DirectX 9.0 with DirectX 11 coming with Win7. I tried to install it and I get the following error message:

    "Internal error System. Please refer to DXerror.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder. »

    From there I wanted to just post a few places and see if someone else has fallen on these issues running Win7 on a mac, or something like that. I know that these laptops are supposed to run games on bootcamp pretty well, but I can't seem to overcome this problem. Looking for a next step.

    Thanks for reading.

    I would check to make sure you have your video drivers properly installed also.

    On the note of StarCraft 2, there is no separate versions.  As more cross-platform games nowadays they are delivered with the binary Windows and Macintosh on the same disk.

  • Can I install Win7 upgrade on another computer after upgrade Win8 on my computer?

    Initially, my computer came with Vista installed. Three years ago, I bought an upgrade to Win7 and installed. A few months ago, I bought and installed an upgrade of Win8 on the same computer. I have another computer running Vista, and I was wondering if I could use the Win7 upgrade license to upgrade this computer. Technically, the upgrade of Win8 could meet the requirements with the Vista license on the original computer. I run Win7 on the other computer without having to buy a new license. Is this possible? The upgrade disks are details of Microsoft.

    Yes, it is possible. Because the machine was originally license with a qualification license (Vista), he would take the place of this license, thus freeing the Windows 7 Upgrade to serve elsewhere. So, Yes, you can transfer it to other Vista machine.

  • How can I run a program Windows Vista Windows 7?

    How can I run a window vista program in a window 7?

    Many programs of Vista will install and work without problems under Windows 7. If you find difficulties try compatibility mode:

    You can also check the compatibility of programs on the publishers program Web site or here:

    Also, specific 64-bit programs will not work on 32-bit Windows (regardless of whether it is Windows Vista or Windows 7, etc.). Most, but not all, 32-bit programs will run on 64-Bit Windows. For more information. Please see:
