• I have a new Mac Book Pro. If I buy 5 Lightroom now, can I upgrade to Lightroom 6 for free?

  I have a new Mac Book Pro. If I buy 5 Lightroom now, can I upgrade to Lightroom 6 for free?

  Nobody knows.

  The usual policy of Adobe in the past, it's that if you buy a version of Lightroom and within 30 days a new version comes out, they will give you a free upgrade. The problem is Adobe never pre announcement when the new version comes out. (And of course, Adobe could announce a different strategy for Lightroom 6)

  So, its up to you if buy you now or wait.

• Questions about upgrading Vista to Windows 7 for free as it was offered once?

  Several years ago I got when I was with Windows XP I spoke to Microsoft and said I could use the 64-bit and 32-bit disk on different computers, by using the same product key, but there are certain requirements.  I think the 2 computers were to be in the same place and I was the owner.  I'm a little hazy on the rules, but I know that I learned that I could use both versions 32 and 64 different bits with the same key.  I have a desktop running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional and a laptop running Vista.  Both are registered for me, but the laptop was a gift from our son for the wife who is disabled and never leaves the House except for visits to the doctor.  It comes preinstalled with Vista, but there were so many problems with Vista, Microsoft offers an automatic upgrade to Windows 7 at the time.  I never took advantage of this because Best Buy, where the laptop was purchased, wanted to get paid to do the upgrade.  My wife is now having a lot of trouble with various programs with Vista, I have two disc of Windows 7 Professional, I received directly from Microsoft, a 32-bit and 64-bit.  There is only 1 button, but I learned the upgrade to Windows 7 was supposed to be free.  I have much more knowledge now and can install the update myself, but can I use the 32 bit disc and the very key to do.  Otherwise, I would use the 32-bit disk and get a new key?  Where can I get a new key for the Vista upgrade to Windows 7 for free as it was offered once?

  This is incorrect information, product key for 1 license 1, 1 computer.

  I'm a little hazy on the rules, but I know that I learned that I could use both versions 32 and 64 different bits with the same key.

  Yes, and you can use it to activate on the same computer architecture.

• 'Upgrade to Windows 8.1 free' application in the store asks me to log on as an administrator - I am already an admin and I can not understand how

  When I go to the Store tile in Windows 8, I was happy to see the "upgrading to Windows 8.1 free". I read about this free update, but it has never been available for me so far.

  However, when I click on download, it gives me an error saying: "you must use an account with administrator privileges. I'm an admin on the machine (for example I can run a command as administrator prompt without giving any creds). So I am confused on how to proceed.

  Any suggestions are appreciated.

She said that the new pc sells for 299-499, but that she would give me a discount and sell it to me for 269.99... in any case, I ran the windows 7 upgrade advisor and it said that my computer can be upgraded to windows 7 32 bit home premium or ultimate. everything was fine...

• Is there anywhere I can download windows XP for free?

  I'm sick to death of windows 7... Microsoft cannot admit, but it's full of glitches and that slow synaptic connections in the brain of Bush.

  So here's my question is there anywhere I can download windows XP for free?... Can seem retro, but I liked XP, once you got to know how to use it, it was fast and reliable, unlike windows 7 windows media, actually worked perfectly player...

  So can you get it for free?

  Original title: windows XP

  Now where I know. The only chance of getting XP would be to call the manufacturer of your PC support (if your PC originally came with XP) and request a recovery media. If your PC came with XP originally, the "recovery" partition can always also be the function that allows you to restore XP on your PC.

• Download Windows XP for free if I can do a 'Clean Install' of the system?

  "flatten and rebuild" process for Windows XP?

  How can I go about the process of 'flatten and rebuild' for Windows XP?  Download Windows XP for free if I can do a 'Clean Install' of this system?

  If you have a computer from a "direct OEMS" (e.g., Dell, HP, etc.), it is without doubt a restore hidden on the hard disk partition.  How access and use this feature differs between manufacturers, so again you must call the computer manufacturer or visit its web site.

• I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?

  The upgrade to Windows XP Professional edition

  I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?  I want to run the iCloud but need a more recent version to do.  Thank you.

  The first thing to do is to download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor--> http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20

  If your hardware and your applications are compatible with Windows 7 (and there are drivers available for your hardware devices) then you can buy a copy of Windows 7 and install it.  You will have to do what Microsoft calls a "custom installation" which is a facility clean Windows 7 in force and which is to format your hard drive.

  Thus, you must first save all your data (files, documents, music, photos, etc.) on another medium (the best is an external hard drive), and then import this into the computer after the installation of Windows 7.  Microsoft is a tool for this called Windows Easy Transfer, but you can use any method you like.

  Also, you must reinstall all of your applications from their original installation media.  If any of these applications has been downloaded, you'll need a copy of the downloaded installation package or a way to re - download.  You must also make sure that you have all your license keys.

  If you go ahead with this, one thing you need to do before your existing XP installation is more usable is to download and run Belarc Advisor (free).  Belarc is mainly intended to let you know if your security patches are up-to-date, it also gives you a list of license keys for a large part of your installed software.

  PS: Don't waste your time with Vista.  If you can not go to Windows 7, stick with XP.

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.
