• What are Service Packs? Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free? If yes how? If I update it will help or hinder my system? Any pack is better than another?

  Windows Vista Service Pack (basic information)

  Hello

  I know this may seem a simple/stupid question, but I do not understand what are "Service Packs".  I don't know much about computers.

  I have restored my laptop to the factory setting today and I reinstall my programs again.  I am trying to install a new program as well (Autodesk Inventor 2012).  The installation says I can't because I need Service Pack 2 and I only have Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Version: 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001).

  What are Service Packs?  Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free?  If yes how?  If I update it will help or hinder my system?  Any pack is better than another?

  Thanks for the information and assistance that you can give.

  You can install Service Pack 2 very simply - go to Windows Update and check for new updates - then install all available updates.

  Once they are complete, return again (after a reboot) and do the same thing - repeat until there are no left.

  Along the way you will be installed Service pack 2 :)

• Can I upgrade to Acrobat 9 Pro for free?

  I had to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro and expected to get AutoUpdate updates. Then I discovered that it was off-support.  Fair enough.

  So I found this Web page

  Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

  which suggests that I can update for free.

  Download and try the upgrade fails, but when he asks the previous version it gray-out my V9, indicating (I think) that newer versions are extensible.

  I must have misunderstood the buying guide.

  Can you help me?

  Thank you.

  Certainly not free to upgrade to the current version (11), but it is always up to date. Older versions (8.7..) is no longer get a discount.

  I could be wrong, but I think you may be reading 'right to upgrade' as "the right of free update.

• I have Windows XP Pro. Can I upgrade to Windows 7 without having to first install Vista?

  I have Windows XP Pro. and lose the connection with my printer (HP Officejet 6500 and I was told that I had to upgrade to Windows 7) Can I upgrade to Windows 7 without having to first install Vista?

  You can - clean installation however.  No direct path from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  If the machine is old, but - I wouldn't bother.  You will end up by it hate because it is slow and probably blame the operating system.

  The upgrade to Windows 7 is not a solution for the loss of connectivity to a printer - not a logic.

  Is what SPECIFIC printer this?

  • HP Officejet 6500 has e-All-in-One Printer - E710a
  • HP Officejet 6500 a Plus e-All-in-One - E710n

  • HP Officejet 6500 - E709q wireless all-in-one printer

  If you download and install the latest appropriate WIndows XP complete software driver for your printer and maybe upgrade the firmware of the printer itself-, it would probably solve your problem.  If you use it as a wireless printer (it is printed through your network, but not connected by a cable [ethernet]) so you can check for updgrades to the firmware of your router (level) and reconfigure your network completely wireless if you start with a good foundation.

• 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.

  Im running windows 7 Home premium on opus 64-bit system.  Can I upgrade to windows vista Home premium 32-bit...

  Hello

  This is not an upgrade from Windows 7 to Vista.

  It is a downgrade that Vista is the previous operating system before Windows 7 came out and you would have to BUY a COMPLETE of Vista version and do a fresh install of Vista; but before you buy Vista, check first that your computer manufacturer provides the Vista drivers for your model computer.

  Microsoft sells more Vista; Try Amazon.com.

• Dv6t-7200 notebook want: how will I know if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10?

  I searched HP website to see if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10.  I also tried the plug assistant in charge of hp and he has just directed me to a page of sale on windows 10.  I don't want to mess up this computer and reload all the software, if it's not compatible.  Is there a list of compatible computers HP or an app that I can run to check?  I lost a lot of time looking for the HP support for this information.  Microsoft told to go to the manufacturer for this information.  Help, please.

  They are going to do this Web page to verify, you can maintain control, the link on the next page is still broken.

  Hello

  With Vista or Windows 7, what what Microsoft says, you really need a minimum of RAM 2GBs for them to work reasonably.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
