Can you upgrade to Windows 7 as a stand-alone full disk?
OK here is my delima ive got Windows 7 upgrade version and version XP, with win 98se complete, is it possible that I can buy another drive for win 7 on a full installation disc? or am I screwd and I need but all this?
the thots or suggestions, I had to do a complete version of the system after that Zeus got mad at my apartment to say... new everything's insurance doesn't cover home build PC.
You do not even need to buy a new drive, you can just buy a new product key for a full version license license and use it with your existing drive. This is the product key that determines whether it is an updated version or full.

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 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?
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 series - E710HP Officejet 6500 All - in - One Printer series - E709If 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.

IM using Windows XP Profesional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 and what would be the cost?
upgrade windows xp to windows 7
IM using windows xp profesional can I upgrade to windows 7 and what would be the cost? what I have to put all my files on an external drive then uninstall windows xp then put in windows 7 then put back my files? is that how its done? Thank you.First the cost, you must know if your hardware can support Windows 7
In General win 7 should a minimum og 1 gig of ram (for 32 bit) or 2 for 64-bit, and it needs a video card 256 MB or greater.
If your less and can not be updated it may be best to start thinking about a new computer.
If the above is ok there are various offers for win 8, but make sure you buy form a reliable site of Ms. There are a lot of current scams.
Good luck

I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?
The upgrade to Windows XP Professional editionI 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.

No, you can not install Windows 10 in Mode without failure.
What you need to do is set aside some time and temporarily disable other services that use your Internet connection to facilitate the download of Windows 10.
You can download the ISO and then upgrade in offline mode:

Can I upgrade to Windows 7 or not?
I downloaded the beta version of windows 7 upgrade advisor to my desktop computer and it has identified one of my devices incompatible with windows 7. This device was the NVIDIA Nforce System Management Controller. Everyone there knows what the heck this thing is and what it does? The strange thing is, in my view, that this thing is related to the chipset on the motherboard that has 7 hardware compatibility list says that my motherboard is compatible with windows 7, the same thing with my EVGA Geforce 8800 GTS graphics card. So my question is can I upgrade to windows 7 or not. If this "system management controller" is not compatible which feature my system is going to lose? Or Windows 7 will simply install something completely different, it's going to do the same thing this thing is now for me. I know this may make me look like an idiot, but I am at a loss, and I don't want to pay the money to upgrade to windows 7 if he's not going to paralyze the functioning of my system. Until there is only a minimum (and I mean minimal) information about it elsewhere on the internet. Any help and clarification would be appreciated.
Motherboard: Asus M3N78-VM
Processor: AMD Phenom II 955
Graphic card: EVGA Geforce 8800 GTS
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8 GB DDR2 memory
Current installed OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bitA missing device driver will simply not seen by windows until one is added. If the adviser says incompatible, it is. If your system cannot function without this device, Win 7 will not install correctly. I would go on the nvidia for info on this site. It's perhaps not salvageable, but nvidia could only tell you that for sure.
