    Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

    Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price.  You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.

    Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.  See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php

    Yes, some vulnerable people indeed caught up.

    Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

    In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

    Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. It is better to avoid being scammed rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

    Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

    If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

    If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it.

  • Switch from Windows Vista to Windows 7

    Dear all,

    I had Windows Vista installed on my laptop, but unfortunately lost the c: / and the license code for this.

    Question: can I uninstall what remains of Windows Vista on my laptop and install Windows 7 on it. I still have a license of the latter and I expect long term to be able to switch to Windows 10, free of charge.

    Please can you let me know what you think about this?

    Kind regards

    Friederike

    First of all, note that there is no way to uninstall any version of Windows. They only way to get rid of Vista is to format the drive, for example by installing another operating system itself. A clean install means that you will lose the entire computer, including all your personal data, so until this don't forget to make a backup of all your important files n external media.

    Secondly, you say that you have a license for Windows 7, but how did you? If you bought a copy retail, fine. But if it's an OEM copy (for example, if it came with another computer) you can not do this.

    Finally, note that the period for a free upgrade for Windows 10 expired on July 29.

    Hello:

    It is forbidden to transfer the license OEM of Windows or using product key OEM the Dell laptop on HP desktop computer.

    Please read the FAQ below... specifically...

    Q. my client bought a new PC and wants to move the OEM software from the old PC to the new. Users cannot do what they want with their software?

    A. no, the OEM software is licensed with the computer on which it was originally installed and system is linked to the original machine. OEM licenses are licenses for single use which cannot be installed on more than one computer system, even if the original machine is no longer in use. The 3668Microsoft Software License Terms, that the end user must accept before using the software, say that the license may not be shared, transferred or used concurrently on different computers. System integrators must provide support to the end user for the Windows license on build computers, they cannot support licenses on computers that they did not build. It is a fundamental reason why an OEM System Builder license cannot be transferred.

    If you want to buy a license support and installation of W7, you can use the W7 x 74 drivers and the software of this model on your own, except the BIOS and firmware files.

  • I think switching from Windows XP to Windows 7, but it seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

    I want to get rid of my security Computer Associates software. It overload my system.

    I believe that a combination of Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials and Web of Trust would do a good job.

    Switching from XP to Windows 7 seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

    I would appreciate any advice. I am a former novice

    Thank you

    Get rid of CA security software and do general maintenance on your system would probably go a long way to improve your computing experience.  See help! My computer is slow!

    Unless you plan to buy a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed, make sure that your hardware is compatible with Windows 7 (for the most part, this means that Windows 7 drivers are available; problems are more likely to occur with older laptops).  Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
