• Need for win7 cd - key for upgrade to 8 which I cannot find on my computer.

  I need my windows 7 cd - key for upgrade to windows 8 at lower costs. I never saw. Also, I got my windows 7 free of my University (msdn) to a downloadable version. Point is I don't have the key and all keys finder programs I've used it will appear.

  It is because you are using a distribution of volume license of Windows 7, which would not be eligible for the upgrade. Contact your University, you should be able to get Windows 8 through them.

  Hello

  The product key you use to install could be a volume license key, you can contact your network administrator to download the iso from this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and install the W8. The W8 will be key during the installation or is installed with the default key that will work for 30 days. If it is installed with a default key, you can change the product key with the suite of measures

  -Run as administrator command line
  -Enter the following command

  slmgr.vbs-ipk TYPE-YOUR-KEY-RIGHT-HERE
  -Now go to the properties of your computer and click on activate Windows.

  She's... You are finished with the activation of new volume Windows8 license.

  Make sure you have all the latest updates for the OS, you're using currenlty.  If your system was manufactured before August 2013, visit the Microsoft site at www.microsoft.com/windows10upgrade this will run a check and can install base drivers and can work for you.

• How to re-enable the Vista key after upgrade to Windows 7

  original title: Activattion

  I bought a legal copy of Vista 64 bit and I installed on a computer. I then used Windows 7 64 bit upgrade for upgrading Vista to 7. So now, Vista is not installed on this computer. Since this copy is not installed on any computer that I then installed Vist 32 bits with the same product key, as both versions came in a single package. This computer is dead and no longer in use. So now, either 32-bit or 64-bit version is installed on any computer. So I decided to install the 64-bit version on a virtual machine that is the only thing that it is installed on and I can't seem to activate. I know the State of the installation on a single computer, but I thougth that if uninstall you you can reinstall on another computer. All of these computers are mine and only installed on a Vista machine. They have never been installed on two machines at a time. The installation of Vista, I have currently is in a virtual machine. Is there a way I can get this activated copy?

  If you used to upgrade Vista Windows 7 is the upgrade version, rather than the Full Installer version, so your Vista license is no longer valid, as it is subsumed under the license of Win 7.

• Card reader uninstall Realtek PCIE for upgrade of Windows 10

  I try to upgrade to Windows 10. However, I constantly run into a barrier. 10 installing Windows tells me that I need to manually uninstall Realtek PCIE Card Reader. I uninstalled it in the programs. He went into the Device Manager. I even tried to delete files from registry related to the drive. I can't get it uninstalled sufficient for windows 10 to complete the installation. How can I solve this problem?

  I got a differrent aproach.

  Searched for realtek in regedit, but rather than delete the found keys I noticed that one of the files was related to installation of Windows 10. The record was:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\UpgradeCompatibilityTemp\

  Inside, it has much {guid} with applications that may have trouble with the upgrade.

  

  Inside of one of them, I find the realtek one and a key with the name ExeFullPath witch told me the folder with the rtspstor.sys file.

  I deleted the folder containing this file (you may be asked for administrator permissions) and clicked on update on the installer of windows.

  Setup continues without hickups.

  I would like to know if it works.

  If someone need help you can find me on twitter @fcrespo82.

• What are my options for upgrading to Windows 2000.

  It of finally time to update my existing operating system, but do not have the time for a clean installation at the present time.  Can I switch to XP?

  Hi russman9785,

  There are five methods for installing Windows XP. Consider the following methods, and then select the appropriate method for your installation.

  • Method 1: Perform a clean installation of Windows XP
    Use this method for a clean installation of Windows XP. A new installation deletes all data from your hard disk by repartitioning and reformatting your hard disk and reinstall the operating system and programs empty (clean) hard disk.
  • Method 2: upgrade to Windows XP
    Use this method if you upgrade to Windows XP from Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition or Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional.
  • Method 3: Install Windows XP on a new hard drive
    Use this method to install Windows XP on a new hard drive. This is usually done when a new hard drive is installed on your computer.
  • Method 4: Install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation)
    Use this method to install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation) to run two operating systems, or to access, repair, or retrieve data from a damaged disc.
  • Method 5: Perform a multiple boot operation
    Use this method to install Windows XP as a separate operating system on your computer. This allows you to install several operating systems on your computer, then select the operating system you want to use every time that you start your computer.

• Hello! I have already booked for upgrade of Windows 10 and my unit is Toshiba Satellite C850D and currently using Windows 7. What should I considerdo before you install the new Windows 10?

  I'm afraid that all my files on disk: D will disappear.  And how do I know that my existing drivers and programs are compatible with windows 10?

  Hi JC Nero,.

  Windows 10 being an upgrade of your existing operating system, it would be absolutely not delete or edit your files, settings, programs, etc. Your PC after the upgrade to windows 10 would be same.
  However if you choose a clean installation, the contents of your drive where is installed earlier OS might be deleted if you format.

  The answer to your question is given by Windows 10 App itself. To check compatibility:

  • Open Windows 10 booking App.
  • at the top left, click on the Menu (3 vertical lines)
  • Click on the control of your PC.
  • It will show if there are problems with compatibility.

  It will be useful.
