Do I need to uninstall my printer before moving on to Windows 10?

I have a new Epson printer XP-320 I just installed.  Do I need to uninstall it, before moving on to Windows 10?

Also, I have a genealogy program on my computer.  Do I need to uninstall?

Finally, should I do something with my McAfee Antivirus before installing the Windows 10.

I currently have Windows 7 Home Premium.

No, but you should disconnect and all other non-essential programs.

Task of pre-required

When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

  • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
  • Reboot several times and try again.
  • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
  • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. 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.
  • Do a clean boot, 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 and try the installation again.
  • If you update via Windows Update, when download reaches 100%, disconnect the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, and 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).

    What I need to uninstall cs5.5, or it automatically uninstall?

    You do not need to uninstall CS5.5 and CS6 installation does not automatically uninstall CS5.5. You can have both versions on your Mac. I have CS3, CS5.5 and CS6 installed on my Mac.

    If you want to uninstall CS5.5, double-click one of the aliases "Uninstall" in a CS5.5 application folder and you can uninstall all of the Creative Suite.

  • No need to turn it off before moving to Snow Leopard?

    I intend to make a simple upgrade with Snow Leopard in Leopard. No need to turn off the suite CS4 before that?

    Jeff

    I would not turn off but I would only do an Archive and install to upgrade. I would clone my hard drive first so you can put all the time where the snow leopard breaks everything

    Personally, I would not install SL until I had heard that all the bugs are fixed.

  • Should I uninstall version 4 before moving to Lightroom CC?

    I have version 4 of Lightroom and I want to switch to the subscription of the month. My files are a little unorganized it would also be if

    not be easy to uninstall and re configure the catalog with the new version?

    Thank you

    Hi PhotographicImages,

    It is not necessary to uninstall the previous version of Lightroom in order to use the latest version.

    Once you have Lightroom CC 2015 (latest version) installed on your computer, it will ask you to upgrade to the catalogue which you use Lightroom 4.

    Please update the catalog for the old catalog for use in Lightroom CC 2015.

    I hope this helps.

  • Do I need to get all updates to windows on the new VISTA system before moving on to Windows 7?

     Hi , I have a brand new 'Pavilion Elite m9300t PC with TV/PVR' always in the zone since the 2008-09-02 (don't ask why, long story). There "Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit)" on it.  I bought a software "Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade designed for Windows Vista" (box).  It seems clear that the system accepts the 64-bit Windows Update 7


    My question is, when I turn firstly on this machine, I have to spend hours updating the Vista operating system with all the Windows updates until I put in the Windows 7 Upgrade?  Or can I just simply immediately install Windows 7 Premium on the new brand new OS Vista from HP?


    I ask because I don't want to spend hours in Vista with Windows Update updates when I have not, before using Windows 7 Upgrade disks.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.


    TIA,-Paul

    Hello:

    No, you don't have to do anything other than the upgrade to Vista.  If you are brave, you are better off getting a clean install and wiping out Vista anyway.  If not simply put in the drive of W7, let an automatic upgrade on place and you're ready to go. You will have enough updates W7 to treat once the PC is upgraded to W7.

  • should I suspend my PS and LR before moving on to Windows 10?

    What should I do this?

    Hi gwlco,

    Yes, you should go ahead and withdraw the permit or turn off the product before uninstalling the product.

    This helps you avoid any problems during resettlement and activating the product again once.

    I hope this helps.

    My Toshiba Satellite C855D with preinstalled Windows 8 has been reset to a State factory (eveything to remove and reinstall Windows). Everything is good so far. Now updates Windows says to download/install 79 important updates and many of those that are recommended. Is it better to install all updates of recommened front the upgrade to Windows 8.1? Thank you for the answers.

    Yes. Some updates are needed for the 8.1 update, so I would just leave your computer install what it needs.

  • Should I turn off before moving on to Windows 10?

    I currently have Windows 8.1, and I fear that if I switch to Windows 10, then Adobe will think that my machine is another computer.

    1. a change of OS causes Adobe licenses to detect a machine like another computer?

    2. What are your recommendations in the following scenarios (in terms of disabled before upgrade)

    a. I do a upgrade "on-site" Windows 8.1 to 10.

    b. I do a fresh install of Windows 10 on the same computer, and then reinstall all my applications.

    3. If I have a problem after the upgrade, can I always disable the old license if I can access is no longer the old O.S.?

    4. I also have an older version (no-cloud) stand-alone first Elements 10.  Should I disable it before upgrading?

    Thank you!

    the cc apps are no problem because you can disconnect (if necessary) after the upgrade of your operating system.

    It would be prudent to disable cc pre apps before the upgrade, but with the previous updates os which was not necessary either.

  • Impossible to uninstall a printer to my computer

    I need to uninstall a printer I had on my computer years ago. When I click on the button uninstall, it says that the printer is in use and try again when the printer is finished printing. Only I didn't the printer for years. In my print options, this deceased printer appears as the main printer, and there are some things that I can't print because they are trying to print from this printer. I have no idea what to do now. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I suggest you try to uninstall the printer in a clean boot state. Make sure that you uninstall the printer that is no longer connected to the computer.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    Reference:
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.
