• How can I uninstall windows 8 and install windows 7 on an Inspiron 17R SE 7720

  I bought my Inspiron 17R SE with Windows 8 installed in December 2012. I tried my best to become familiar with Windows 8, but most of the time I do love. I tried to use the classic interface so it looked like Windows 7 but I still don't like it.  It seems to me that Windows 8 be not really suitable for the use of the laptop.

  I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install my own copy of Windows 7 Pro, but I do not know if it will install on a laptop at the origin of installation for Windows 8.  I asked Technical Support on this issue, but I was told that Dell would not support this so they couldn't help me.

  Can anyone here help me with detailed instructions on how to achieve what I want... I read that the needs of settings in the Bios to be changed before I start but do not know what to do.

  Thank you

• Can a "uninstalled" Vista Upgrade be installed on another machine?

  For various reasons of Dingo, I want to update a computer XP MCE to Vista.  Best price on the upgrade of Vista in my area is a copy that has been installed and then uninstalled.  My question is, the software still allows to update * my * machine?  It is I think I understand that the upgrade process essentially disabled the XP he license upgrades, but is it become "attached" to this license?  Thanks in advance for any info!

  Doug

  If it's a copy retail Vista Upgrade or full installation disc (and you need is product key to go with it to activate the system - yours won't work) then it is perfectly valid, but you will probably need to activate Vista manually after the installation.  It is not reallly invalidate your XP license - it could be used again if you want to re - install XP on the same computer (if it's a sense of OEM license it installed on the computer, it cannot be used on any other computer but that it came installed on).  If it was a copy to the detail of XP that you purchased separately then it can be moved to another computer.  The licenses for the two products are separated and do not cling.  If the Vista disc is a disc of some other computer OEM you should not buy it because this product key can be used on any machine that it was orriginallly installed on and if you try you will be impossible to activate.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I can't uninstall all of the programs on my computer. Also the windows updates do not install. Windows Vista Service Pack 2 for x 64-based systems (KB948465)

  I think I have problems arising from the Windows updates do not install it.

  I can't uninstall all the programs already on the computer - I get the message "Please wait while the current program is finshed uninstall or changed" on every single program.

  Also, anything with an authorisation button freezes as son as I click on it without the authorization window popping up. for example. the clock or the managed task advanced details.

  This has led to problems trying to install other software for example. I tried to install a game that failed, because the .NET framework 4 would not install.

  Help!

• I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install Windows 7

  HP ENVY m6-1125dx Notebook PC

  My laptop came with Windows 8. I really don't like Windows 8, it is too restrictive. I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install Windows 7. How to go? Where can I get the operating system and driver software.

  Should I buy Windows 7 separately? Or can I use the same key?

  Before installing Windows 7, can I suggest an idea?

  I had the same problem: I'm a Windows 7 user who bought a laptop Windows 8 and don't really like the Metro user interface. It is half cooked for desktop/laptop computer, several apps to not scroll horizontally with the touchpad, etc, etc.

  But what I did install a simple program called "Debut8" (http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/) that still allows me to go right at the part 8 Windows desktop and use it as I have Windows 7. The advantage of this approach is that you get the benefits of the internal improvement of Windows 8 (some improvements in performance on Windows 7, etc.) and do not have the hassle/cost of installing Windows 7. You can also try a GPL program called Classic Shell (http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/). So far I am happy with debut8 as a solution.

  Anyway, worth before going through the cost and difficulty of installing Windows 7.

  I uninstalled windows 10 and installed windows 7 again but it's not getting updates

  You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

  How to reset the Windows Update components

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  It is part of the vista operating system

  read this information on the Defender:
