Download free windows
The sites offer a free copy of Windows 8. Is this legal? You have to pay for Windows?
Hello originalnameok,
To get a legal copy of Windows 8 (latest version 8.1) you can buy a copy. Like most software, there are many illegal pirated copies of Windows autour, but these are illegal.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

Is it legal to download free Windows 95 from a 3rd party site?
Original title: Windows 95
Is it legal to download free Windows 95 from a 3rd party site? Because I have a feeling that it might already be freeware, but I'm not sure.
No, it is always under license from Microsoft and is technically illegal to pirate.

Tried all day today, 29 July for access to the server to get the free download.
Only get the spinning wheel in the well-being of the screen.
What can I do (other than to try to do several days ago!)?
Close the wizard, restart your computer, disable your security software (Antivirus/Firewall), then restart the installation to see if it progresses. If this does not work, try to upgrade manually.

Where to download free Windows XP to upgrade a Windows 98 laptop?
I heard that you can download windows xp sp1 for free but I can't seem to find the properwebsite to download on an old laptop which still has windows 98 on it. Tell me where I can find if you know where to get in and download it for free. PLEASE?
Hello
There is no XP free download available from Microsoft.
If you can't find a free download on the Net it is hacked and probably infected by malicious software.
See you soon.

code error when download free Windows 10 fails
Keep Microsoft offer free update of Windows 10, trying to accept this bid failed several times, the error code 80070002. I have an Asus laptop with, I think, Windows 7. Thank you.
Are you ready?
How are your backups? Made sure your consistent data (just the things important to you) backups are working correctly and can be restored from? What your support installation and key product / series number backups - all that sorted and easily accessible?
Have you checked, while visiting with the manufacturer of your system and the manufacturers of the software, you use most on your computer, all what you have/use/want to use are supported by said manufacturer with 10 windows and discovered that, instead, you need to do to continue the use of a stringer of such things after the upgrade? Some device drivers upgraded, you need to download? A software patch? Uninstall the software before upgrading to Windows 10 and install it once the upgrade is complete?
You have refined a method of execution to a COMPLETE PICTURE of the right SYSTEM backup before you start the upgrade? After all the upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 7/8.1 could be likened to move coverage while stand you on it - so it is quite complex and has its risks. Backup offline during the upgrade (and external) media image full system is a VERY good backup plan in case something goes wrong or - you don't like it.
You might even want to clean this system some current, make sure * it * is as healthy as it could be before attempting to upgrade. An efficient and up-to-date system is more likely to result in a smoother experience for an upgrade is as broad as this... You could look through this previous conversation where I suggested someone clean up their system before the upgrade:
When you think you're ready...
Use the page web media creation tool to kick off your upgrade.

The upgrade to Windows XP?
Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.
Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).
More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.
1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.
2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.
3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.
4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."
5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.
If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

Problem downloading free applications.
