Do I have to re - install all my drivers and applications when I upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7? __

I have to reinstall all my applications and drivers when I update to Windows XP to Windows 7?

When you upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7, a lot of drivers is upgraded as part of the process and your applications and settings must be migrated automatically. If you perform a new installation, you may need to find the drivers for your PC that are compatible with Windows 7 (or, if no driver is specifically available for Windows 7, use Windows Vista counterparts).

You can also use Windows Easy Transfer to move your documents, photos, music and other files if you decide to perform a new installation. For more information about Windows Easy Transfer, please visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-easy-transfer.

Hope that helps, have a nice day! Kristan M. Kenney ("Nighthawk64")

  • HP 15-r254nu: impossible to install all the drivers on my 15-r254nu (L5Z39EA)

    Hello. I am not able to install about half of the drivers for the HP 15 - r254nu (L5Z39EA). After you have installed the chipset, it appeared that it was successful, but I still have a lot of exclamation points in device for various things Manager.

    The only correctly installed drivers were the Realtek Audio Realtek LAN ones. When you try to install the wireless driver I get the message "the device may not be present or may have been ejected disabling the hp system.

    This new laptop is quite good one atm of mess that everything appears in the yellow exclamation points.

    The pilots have been uploaded here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7486447/model/7729219#Z7_30...

    The BONE in which I tried to install all the drivers is Enterprise 8.1 Windows 64-bit.  I really hope that it is not caused by some kind of hardware problem.

  • Installed all the drivers from HP for HP17-3077NR site, still a PCI device is uninstalled

    Hi all

    I had recently no other choice, then to reinstall Windows 7 64 bit on my HP Envy 17-3077NR. Everything works well so far, but I noticed that in Device Manager, a PCI device seems not to be installed. I tried an extensive search on the internet, has tried to update the driver on Windows. Uninstalled the resettled drivers and the device new & again. I installed all the drivers from the hp website for my 17-3077nr, but still a PCI device is uninstalled. Nothing seems to work. This is the first time that I am reaching out in a forum, because I'm desperate.

    Anyone have an idea I was not yet executed?

  • All the icons and screen menus desapeared start-up; Windows XP.

    After that I had "repaired" my PC with "AntiVir" asked me if I want all the files to repair damaged. I clicked 'Yes', the PC has restarted and I was amazed to see all the icons and the menu start disappeared from the screen. So, now I could open only programs from the Windows Task Manager. Please, help me find the way out of this situation. Thank you in advance.

    You see only your background image and the wallpaper?
    Miss all your desktop icons and you don't see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen or are simply missing icons and you can see the taskbar at the bottom?
    Check the simple things first.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop, choose Arrange icons by and make sure the option show desktop icons has a check mark next to it.  This will work if you don't miss you that the desktop icons, but still see the Start button and the taskbar.
    If only you can see your wallpaper background picture and don't see the desktop icons and no start button or taskbar, this means that the explorer.exe program does not run (and it must be running) or the explorer.exe program are usually afflicted.  A good way to think about at the moment, it is that the process explorer.exe "is" your desktop.
    If this is the case, the malicious software in general is preparing.
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    Sometimes your anti malware program to quarantine (and indeed remove) your file explorer.exe (or other critical files on the XP system) if it finds that the file is infected.  The file may really be infected, but you can know for sure and then reconsider your anti malware options.
    First, you need to get your work desk, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.
    Of your background image, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.
    Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:
    In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:
    %windir%\explorer.exe
    Click OK and see if get you your office.
    If explorer.exe is already running in the processes tab, it is likely that the object of the affection and will need to be replaced (which is not difficult).
    If you notice that the explorer.exe process is already running in the Task Manager, highlight the explorer.exe process, and then click end process to stop and start a new explorer.exe process as described above.
    If things look right now, your system is still not fixed, but it should be enough usable so now you can fix it.
    I would start with these scans:
    Perform scans for malware first, then these scans by operating clean, difficulty of problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Please report back with information about your system and your results if you need additional assistance.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

    Hello

     

    Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

    Libraries are unresponsive.

     

    Some third-party programs may cause the problem.

    To work with the issue, I suggest you follow the steps:

    Method 1: Clean boot

    When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

    See the mentioned site:

    How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 of section to set your computer to normal startup.

    Note: If in case, you are connected via a connection wireless, and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check wireless see corresponding section are checked (enabled).

     

    Method 2: Check the hard disk for errors

     

    Check a drive for errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

    Note:  When checking a disk for errors, if bad sectors si des secteurs defectueux sont are found then the system tries to repair sector. All data may be lost. So make a backup of the data.

     

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.
