  Hello:

  Yes, there is.

  Run the disk cleanup utility.

  Once you get to the disk cleanup window, click the button files cleaning system on the lower left side of the window.

  The utility will run again and display the same window, but now you will be able to check the box of files from a previous Installation of Windows (as well as the other boxes to check), and you will then be able to get rid of the Window.old file.

  Note: If you do this, you will not be able to easily return to the previous operating system, so make sure you W10 works right in all respects before you delete the Windows.old folder.

• I deleted WIndows 8 for the score, but his name appears in the display to dual boot

  I used Windows XP and Windows 8 for some time. I felt that I should remove Windows 8.je went to disk management and has deleted this partition and created a new partition. I also installed a new Windows 7 in this new partition. But the problem is that when I turn on the PC, the dual-boot screen. But it also seems the name of Windows 8 with Windows 7 and earlier version of the window.
  I don't know why the name of Windows 8 is despite him being withdrawn.

• Could you give me a list of what is safe to delete Windows XP?

  Could you give me a list of what is safe to delete Windows XP?

  This isn't a list of "programs".  This is a list of files and folders which many (more?) are Windows system files that should not be deleted.

  You can Google these names as easily as possible, although some names are completely ambiguous without the rest of the way - for example, _default and configuration could be anything. Panther looks like it is related to your Mac.

  You must uninstall programs ONLY by using the control panel > add / remove software.  Do not delete random files and folders.

  Download and run JDiskReport... and then you can see what's worth worrying in terms of size.

  If your Windows system is running slowly, it is quite possible that you have been infected by malicious software.  What antivirus application on side Windows do you use?  His subscription is up to date? The subscription has already lapsed?

• I think I deleted windows... How can I get it back? Help!?

  I downloaded Ubuntu stupidly just to see what it was... but I think I should have deleted windows vista. When I turn on my computer, it brings me to a screen startup 'grub '. Windows vista is listed, but when I click on it the screen goes black just and he brings me to return. It happened when I upgraded to ubuntu 10 and I guess he resumed the computer or something. and vista.can deleted windows (or hopefully just hidden) to get it back? or at least upgrade to windows 7? can I use the version upgrade instead of the full version? Help, please!

  You need a Vista operating system upgrade within go to Windows 7 (depending on the version).

  Read this instead:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Delete Windows 10 lost now Windows updates.

  Hello, stupidly, I downloaded Windows 10, but all my files and photos were missing. I deleted windows 10 (like the button I could) and since then I can't get updates for windows 7. Help, please.

  Hello

  Do you have an error code when the update could not be installed?

  Step 1: See the below mentioned link and check if this is useful.

  Problems with installing updates

  Step 2: If this is not enough, then put the computer in a clean boot state and try to install these updates.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a clean boot. A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  (a) click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start theSystem Configuration utility.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  (b) under the general tab, click Selective startup, and then click on to clear the load startup items check box. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

  (c) on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then all disable.

  (d) click OK and then click on restart.

  Note: make sure you put the computer to a Normal startup, once the troubleshooting completed.

• How to recover deleted Windows 7 fonts without making a system restore

  Hello

  Last summer, I deleted a number of fonts Windows 7 I knew I was never going to use. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted some I really wanted to delete. But I let it pass in time. Now, I wish I had some of those back that I accidentally deleted (for example Baskerville, Californian, Goudy).

  I searched the previous discussions on this subject, but none (which this one: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/location-to-download-accidentally-deleted-fonts/b43a8d76-2889-41f2-be0c-9e7c27e2cf30) helped. That the thread is on the removal of thousands of additional fonts, do not restore deleted fonts Windows. And responses here especially suggest more drastic solutions that I want to do (System Restore [that would change too many things I've done since the abolition of the police], reinstalling Windows) or suggest other programs to remove additional fonts and back to default values, which are always present for opus (I have download the Powerpoint Viewer who did indeed) (, restore some of the fonts I lost, but not all of them.)

  In any case, my problem is more in line with this thread of a person showing last year. http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-files/location-to-download-accidentally-deleted-fonts/b43a8d76-2889-41F2-be0c-9e7c27e2cf30

  This is exactly my problem. Unfortunately, the response of the MVP is very helpful. The site 1001freefonts.com has obviously NO premium fonts in Windows 7/Office 2007! (Wouldn't an MVP already know that?)

  But my question is basically the same as the OP is that thread: there is no place where existing OS licensed users go to download the font files and then install themselves?

  I mean, if MS is able to verify a valid property of an OS of Windows when running the various updates, why in the name of all that is logical doesn't it not provide a link to re-download deleted Windows fonts for valid users?

  So, is there a way to retrieve all of the fonts in Windows 7/Office 2007 without the drastic system restore or OS reinstall often suggested?

  Updates on how to deal with this issue? Any other suggestions?

  Thank you!  :-)

  There is no short way to reinstall the software that included the fonts or get lucky and find the fonts desired on the web somewhere.  This is a list of fonts that did not exist in Windows 7  Often fonts are installed by applications, so in looking at the list of available fonts is not necessarily tell you where each of them came.

• Windows 7 - cannot delete Windows.old

  Windows 7 has created a Windows.old folder using Windows Easy Transfer and a massive file that was supposed to pass, among other things, e-mail data and accounts.  Windows 7 has none of them.  But now it throws an error telling me that I must be the administrator to delete.

  I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR.

  I did the thing to click left and changed security on the file which saw the problem.  I am sure that administrator had full possession on the file.

  I do not understand why a deletion should take five minutes, but I delete Windows.old again.  This time, Windows 7 threw an error telling me that I had to be the SYSTEM to remove it.  Even if I did not I a user of the SYSTEM, I added permission for SYSTEM to own the file and delete it.  Still no change cannot delete the file.

  Cannot delete the file, cannot move the file outlook.pst Windows Easy Transfer failed that there is not enough room.  Cannot move that the outlook.pst file impossible to configure Outlook to get my emails.

  Why Windows 7 has so many flaws?  It's like a child designed, programmed and it was approved for distribution.

  I'm off to find a third-party tool to remove the file, unless someone has a practical suggestion.  No speculation please.  No Microsoft Apologetics please.   I have been the problems of Windows 7 for more than a week.

  Not sure, but have you tried it - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder (I must admit, sort of a sorry official - guess)

  If all goes well, it can work.

  I tend to the agreement, but its strange how what should be quite a simple operation (s) seem to have 'questions' quite so often.
