Can switch you from Win8 to Win7

First, Windows 7 is an upgrade of Windows 8...

I bought a Thinkpad T530 with Windows 8. Is it possible to wipe the Win8 OS and install Windows 7? And if so can I still get updates driver and stuff like that? What are the benefits and the thank you idiots

Matt

Welcome to the forum!

It is certainly possible to abandon W8 for W7 and T530 is fully supported when it comes to drivers and applications.

Personally, I don't see a cons - only cradle YMMV.

  • Can switch you from ESX 3.5 and ESXi 4.0?

    We have a host in a remote location running 3.5U4 managed by a VC server in our data center.  We would like to upgrade to ESXi 4.0.  There is only the local drive and we anticipate using our VC to manage this host more, we just intend to use the vSphere client.

    So can we close the virtual machine 1, which currently sits on the host and do an upgrade?

    Or should I back up the virtual machine, do a clean install and then restore a virtual hardware and virtual machine / upgrade tools?

    Kind regards...

  • "nothing can be sent from the Office" when you try to print

    Original title: the problem of office printing

    Windows 8: I can't print anything.  He said: "nothing can be sent from the office.  Two hours ago, it was printing.  It happened once before and I accidentally found something clicked, active summer and it worked again.  They make it almost impossible to find! I can't find this time and so cannot print.  Where can I activate "the workstation sending" on my printer please.  I hate Windows 8!  Thank you.

    Hello

    -You use the devices option in the charms bar to select the printer and then print whatever it is?

    The message 'Nothing can be sent from the Office' means simply that you must do this from the 'Start' screen or in an app Store instead of from the "desktop". If you get "Has nothing to send right now" the splash screen or the app Store, then this means that you don't have any external device (ex: projector, printer, etc.) connected to send anything to, or the application does not support.

    Here is a work around that you can try.

    If you try to print from a program like MS word or notepad, and then press the CTRL key and the P key to access the printer Options. You will find the printer that is installed on the computer.

    Navigate through the steps of troubleshooting provided in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-hardware/devices-nothing-can-be-sent-from-this-desktop/532f81de-435d-4121-a9e3-2ed57a1bf31a

  • Why I can't boot from a USB?

    Hello

    Why I can't boot from a USB?   I'm looking to replace a failed hard drive in a Mac Mini 2010. I replaced the hard drive without difficulty.

    I have a USB flash drive from known good 10.10.5 with an Installer (tested) well known about it.   I press the power switch, as soon as the startup chime plays, I press the Option (Alt) key.

    One of the two following situations occurs. Sometimes, I have a small screen asking me to enter my password Wi - Fi. I get my password and nothing else happens. Sometimes, I get a flashing "?" on a file folder.  In my view, this indicates that the computer cannot find a bootable disc. I've tried resetting the PRAM, but I do not have the sound of the double ring that I was expecting.

    Once a Mac is longer than 4 years, his PRAM Battery should replace before resetting the PRAM actually works.

    Is this USB Flash drive "slipstreamed.  It works on any other older than 10.10.5 Mac?

    What is a copy from another Mac or Mac Mini itself 10.10.5 clone?

    Plug you directly into the USB port of the Mac Mini, or using a hub which is powered wall?
