Trying to install Win7 Pro (upgrade CD) on the laptop.

Or is it all still around that?

Relax and breathe.
FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed. Back to all the way back to IE6. You want other patches before you get those. Reboot after doing this.
You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:
Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]
Install it.
Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.
Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]
Install it.
Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.
Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).
Install it.
Reset.
Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.
Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

Can not access the updates after clean install of Windows 7 Pro
I have formatted my hard drive digital, preformed a clean install of Windows 7 Pro. Everything went well and OS seems to be properly authenticated.
The question is not able to 'find' updates. At startup, the message: NEW UPDATES AVAILABLE. When I check the updates, the process runs "forever" and never completes the process. The problem would be to my use of Office 2003? I have installed for messaging and Outlook calendar. Here's the MGADiag.exe diagnostic tests.

You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:
How to reset the Windows Update components
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.
I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.
I also recommend that download you and install Service Pack 3 for Office 2003, then look for updates in the Help menu.

I'll be able to perform a clean install of Windows 7 (Vista Upgrade Option)?
I was wondering if I would be able to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 with "upgrade drive" we are is sent when Windows 7 is released October 22, 2009. I had read that we will be able to upgrade the sense we will keep all our old stuff, however I just want to perform a clean install without all the garbage that comes preloaded on the computer when you buy it.
Yes, you will be able to clean install with upgrade disc. Generally, everything you had will go into a folder named windows.old, if you have backed up everything you can delete this folder but if not only get what you need, then delete. This issue will take place. The folder contains all the files you had, the programs, but you can not open them or he'll tell program not found and the files of vista or xp. I hope this helps. Just at the moment where you see the menu level or custom installation, click Custom install and who should be the ability to clean the facility. OS: Windows 7 Professional. PC: HP DV4t.

After a clean install of Win 7 pro on Pavillion DV6-6147tx I have more universal access to USB ports. I can't find a driver to download HP downloads or disk 3 recovery disc. 3 USB ports o.k.
I finally solved my problem of usb 2 with a NEC driver downloaded from HP believe it or not... He took a large sum oh hunting via other websites. My contact with the HP service is a waste of time.
The pilot is SP47677. EXE from HP, it does wonders, but it does not appear on a search in the HP website.
I solved my problem.

The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running.
I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?Hi Hal K,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.
If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.
If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.

I want to clean install windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade.
I have windows xp x 32 on an existing hard drive which I no longer use, I can do this, that I can start the upgrade process, and then point the installation on the new SSD?I really don't want to install XP on the new SSD and am not bothered about keeping programs or settingsHow to do a clean install:
Step 1: Use the upgrade wizard to describe the PC and pay the $40 (US)
Step 2: When the 'Install Windows 8' message appears, select 'Install by creating media' to create a bootable USB key or .iso (a disk image) file.
Step 3: Wait for the Wizard download Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash player must be having 3 GB or more of free space available.
Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you have chosen, to a blank DVD.
Step 5: Use this key USB or DVD to boot the PC.
Step 6: When you get to the screen in the Setup program that asks, "which type of installation you want?" choose "custom".
Step 7: Select a drive for the operating system partition in the next screen. At this point, you can create a new partition if there is enough space available or reformat the hard disk.
Step 8: Proceed with the installation of Windows 8 Pro.
You should probably do a phone activation after installation is complete.
1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4
2. then press the ENTER"" key.
3. Select your "country" in the list.
4. choose the option "activate phone".
5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

Need to do a clean install of Windows 7 after upgrading with an Express upgrade
I have a Dell, I used the improved anytime W7 home premum Pro on a 1 1/2 years. I need to do a clean install. How can I keep my o/s W7 pro? I have access to a W7 pro reinstall disk.
The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
What happens if I lose my product key?
If you lose your product key, you can return towww.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

Clean install of Windows a lot faster than the preinstalled system?
My satallite comes with windows 64-bit installed.
Since a lot of people suggested, here and elsehwere, a clean installation making consierably faster than the pre-installed windows (all bloated and unwanted software uninstalled with the uninstall program).Although fresh installtion was faster without drivers and programs, it has become more or less the same after installation of all software, etc. (perhaps a difference of 2 to 4% in the use of RAM) (over 4 GB)
Is this normal or do others go much faster on any new install, for me, this effort has proved there is not a lot of use to do a clean install to drive retail.
Ideas, wiers and feed back?
See you soon
Many pre-installed utilities are required for correct functionality and it can be a headache get these functions to work after installing a street copy of Windows.
You will find that when you install Antivirus software on a street copy of Windows, it will happen similar to the pre-installed Windows installation. So if you want that the installation of Windows pre-installed perform better, uninstall the Antivirus should do the trick.

Clean install of Windows 7: where to find the Dell Foundation Services?
I'm doing a clean reinstall of Windows 7 on my new XPS-8700. I downloaded the drivers and the software that is listed for my service on the Dell drivers & download site tag.
But there are a few "Dell" items listed in my Start Menu > programs that I have not found on the Dell website. I'm not sure of their purpose, my need for them, where to find download or how to reinstall them after my new installation of windows.
Dell data services
Dell Foundation services
Dell help documentation (Edocs viewer)
Accidental damage Services Agreement
BancTec Service Agreement
Complete care Service of Business agreement
Consumer in-Home Service Agreement
Dell Home Systems Service Agreement
Premium Service Agreement
QualxServ Service contract
These items are installed with the Dell SupportAssist program (that I found on the Dell website)?
I think that service agreements are just PDFs, which I think I've found, but the so-called programs/applications: the data of Dell and Dell Foundation Services?
Thank you.
tobymeister,
The listed items are for your security agreements. They are not installed on your computer and there is no download.

I am trying to solve a problem that will probably require a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The grace period ends in 3 days, and the next 30 days are final exams at the College. I have 2 licenses (and product key) of Windows 7 Pro, but my drive HARD goes wrong and I don't want to use MAK activation. I will be eventually to replace the disk, but is now bad timing.
If a reinstall is needed, I was going to ask if anyone knows how to set the strategy of perhaps a GPO where Windows is updated automatically in the background and after installing updates, 45 or 60 minutes, then restart. The goal would be to have a computer fully patched when I wake up in the morning.
This is my plan:
Install Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit > Windows automatically updated and plug the Ethernet cable > define a GPO where the computer waiting for 45 to 60 minutes after installation of updates (so the msi may end in the background, and I do not interrupt the installation) > the PC will restart > more update swill be downloaded and installed > wait due to the policy of GPO before reboot > Reboot > do it until it's over. > wake up with a PC fully patched 7-9 hours later.
Is this a workable plan?, and if so, how do I define policies such as delay restarting, etc. to achieve?
The reset did not work. It would be a simple solution. I have a valid license, but I don't want to replace the HARD drive until after final exams are over, so I'll reinstall and activate. I try to achieve in the next 24 hours, so it doesn't keep me from my school work. I must also support and will then replace my files.
Feel free to advanced used terminology. I have some experience.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Another question: should I install a security suite before all updates being installed more than 12 hours, or wait until later? What is the level of risk?
Anyone used Ninite to automate the installation of other programs? Is how safe it?
Thank you!

Stop 0x0000007B error when you try to do a clean install of Windows XP Pro SP3 on a HP m9400t
After booting from the XP disk, installing windows begins to load but soon stops. I can never get the screen of windows configuration options.
I did a survey and this error seems to indicate a driver missing hardware (storage controller or chipset?) that needs XP that isn't on the XP installation disc. I tried to install the driver of storage separately, but it still gives me the BSOD.
Enter the BIOS and be sure THAT RAID is not enabled for the hard drive. You should be able to change mode IDE that will allow XP install without additional drivers are required.
