Changing from Windows 7 to Windows XP SP3
My wife has an HP Pavilion Elite HPE Series, Model # p6680t supplied with Windows 7 Home Premium.
After many Butterfly at night, she just cannot if install with Win 7 so she asked me to re - install XP.
I've changed the hard Windows XP SP3 boot disk that was used on a Dell computer.
It does not start on that hard drive!
Any suggestions?

It's not at all how Windows 7 is suppose to look or work. I have 5 Windows 7 desktop computers and 2 Windows 7 laptop computers. One of the desktops is more than 5 years and only updates were a new video card and 4 GB of RAM. This old thing works like a champ and have none of the problems you described. Obviously something is wrong with this machine... it could be a hardware problem, problem software, OS issue or virus/malware/etc.
Because your computer was introduced more than a year, I would unplug it, open it and blow off the dust. Then, I'll make sure that all connectors are firmly in place and that nothing is cut. After that, I shut down the computer and back up all necessary data of the machine. Then I would make a... best DVD recovery system reinstall you have already made.
If this does not resolve the problem, there certainly sort a problem of material, the origin of the problem.

The only version of Windows, you can upgrade from XP is Vista. If you
want to go to the 7, 8, 8.1, or 10, you must do a clean install,
not an upgrade.Note also that if you old computer same peut run a later version, the
the material on your XP - era machine is probably way underpowered to run a
newer version with acceptable performance. So moving to a later
version is not a good idea.And another point: If you upgrade to a later version, you may need
drivers for it are not available. So before you do anything check
availability of the reader on the Dell web site.Mr. Ken Blake, thank you very much for your quick response. I understand the concerns regarding an upgrade. So I continue to run the same Windows XP with SP3 until the machine functions
Thank you very much
You are welcome. Happy to help you.

I changed the OS on my laptop Toshiba from Windows 7 to Windows XP Home Edition. Everything seems to work fine, except that there is no sound. Checked PC Device Manager and noticed that I need to download & install a high definition Buss Audio Audio driver and a video controller (VGA Compatible).
You need visit Toshiba support and download the drivers that you need for Windows XP for your laptop model specific. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the system (or manufacturer) to write drivers for their products for different operating systems - not Microsoft.
Toshiba technical support
http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=product%20SupportIn addition, if your PC Toshiba laptop comes with Windows 7 so it's a fairly new machine, if this model was never sold with Windows XP may not be drivers for Windows XP.
I hope this helps.

It depends on which version of Vista you have and which Windows 7 upgrade path is supported whether if you can do what you want to do.
Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:
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.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

Trouble trying to change from Windows Vista to Windows XP Home Edition.
I have Windows Vista on my desktop. I don't like it and I try to install Windows XP Home Edition. I was able to get support. When I insert the disk and select "run setup.exe" a "User Account Control" screen will appear (I've tried everything I know to disable this function, but also any virus protection software, but I didn't get it. After I selected "Allow" on the selection of the user the "Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP" screen arrives, but the "Install Windows XP" option is not highlighted, so I can't select it. Please notify.
You can boot from the XP CD and do a clean install.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/978307
You should also check that you can get the XP drivers for the computer. If this isn't the case, you're stuck with Vista or Windows 7.

How can I just change (from 'Windows' to 'Mac' version) my purchased software?
I already bought the Adobe Premiere elements 13 in the wrong version: I need for Mac and I ordered the Windows version. How can I change it?
Thank you in advance,
Jose Luis
You should be able to download the Mac to your Mac and use the same serial number to activate it. Elements programs are one of the few who have licenses good for both platforms.
