• "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer" error during the upgrade of Vista in Windows XP

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1505, that is running Windows XP Media Center Sp3. I'm doing a place in upgrading to Vista since the disks to upgrade Dell... Everything's fine until the 'Expansion of the files' [27%], then the installation fails with this message: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue. Any changes made to your computer during the upgrade". I did a google search for a fix that involves changing a value in the registry in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E976-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} for example change the value to PartMgr Upperfilters. Unfortunately, this value was the default for my registry key changes could be made. Some other fixes involved the renaming of Upperfilter.bak, for Upperfilters unfortunately this .bak value does not exist in my registry.

  I tried to boot from the disk of Vista and changing the msconfig for a selective startup but without result.

  In addition, the stall even appears at a similar point when you try to upgrade to Windows 7. Is it because of the presence of hidden Media Direct and Dell restore partitions? Compatibility Assistant programs for the two operating systems found nothing significant. Anti virus has been disabled during the installation procedure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  Not quite, but pretty close. Media Direct could not lock the boot sector. It must be a BIOS lock or a mechanism of protection provided by your antivirus software.  Given that, I would check your program settings then for all that prevents changes to the boot sector. You may find more easy just uninstall it and reinstall it after the upgrade. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

• Need to upgrade a computer running Windows 2000 to Windows XP

  We have a computer in the office that is still under Windows 2000.  What improvements we need to run to bring it up to Windows XP, to match other desktop computers?  Can I just buy a download of Windows XP, or is there an in-between system that must come first?

  You cannot upgrade Windows 2000 to Windows XP, with or without a
  "the in-between system". You must do a clean installation
  Windows XP.

  Without knowing your hardware configuration, I can't tell you if
  It is adequate for XP, but chances are if it's enough for Windows
  2000, it is also adequate for XP.

  So you would need to buy a full version of Windows XP (there is none
  Downloads). Unfortunately, Windows XP is no longer available, if you
  must seek and hope that a place still has one in stock. Or
  you might find a copy used on sale somewhere. But if I were you, I would
  Be very careful not to buy a place like eBay, because it
  would most likely be a pirated copy it.

• Default configuration of the windows features. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer... HEEELLLPP!

  After restart my Asus X55oE due to necessary updates, I got «default configure features windows.» Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. After reading several messages through other forums, I turned it and then turn again only to receive the same screen. Some of these forums say that it can take 2 hours or more because of so many updates made at the same time. I think I was trying to upgrade windows 8 for windows 8.1.

  I'm really worried about it just because I just got back this PC from ASUS and am needing to work. Can someone tell me if there are other options or make sure that it just take a while? I also read that you can actually go to the control panel > windows update > help to erase mistakes. Also, someone said that you can customize the number of updates at a time can be both. I certainly do not happen again. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

  Note : Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

  Can I use the Vista license that I have just upgraded to windows 7 Upgrade a computer is currently using XP?

  Lol when you upgrade you send upwards with a license, not two. The license of Vista is subsumed in Windows 7 one and can no longer be used. This is the reason for which an upgrade is cheaper than licensed full.

  The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

  I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?

  Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation?  A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new.  If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.

  In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista.  Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

• The windows 10 ISO file will still work to upgrade my computer to Windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?

  Original title: upgrade Windows 10

  I made an iso file for windows 10. I am waiting to upgrade until all the bugs are being developed. My question is: will the iso file of windows 10 still work to upgrade my computer to windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?

  The ISO will work after the date limit, but you can buy Windows 10 after the date limit, if you don't improve and activate it before that date.

  Windows 10 is delivered as a service:

  Windows July 10 release - build 10240

  Windows Update 10 November - build 10586 (with many updates depuis.13,.29,. 36)

  If you want to take advantage of the free offer, you must do so before July 29, 2016.

  If you the newer versions are released before then, you can always download and install when it becomes available.

  You could also install it now then download updates via Windows Update as soon as they are available.

During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
  • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
  • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
  • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
  • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
  • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
  • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  That's why we're always checking the availability of compatible devices
  newest & brightest exploitation
  System. Only Dell (or one that makes the printer for Dell
  before it's new wording) can provide the necessary drivers. This is not a
  Problem of Windows 7.
