• Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

  The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
  I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

  I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

  This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

  QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

  The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

  (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

  Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)

  You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

  And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

  That is right.

  Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

  His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

  I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

  I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

  The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

  Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

  Hello Purplehaze412,

  Thank you for your message.  What kind of microphone do you have?  It's USB or it plug into the microphone as the speakers or headphones port?
  If it uses the headphone:
  Click "Start" > click on "Control Panel" > double-click "sounds and Audio devices".
  Select the tab "Audio".
  Under "Sound recording" you can change the default device?
  If it is USB, try the following:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'My computer' > select 'manage '.
  Select "Device Manager".
  Double-click "USB" - remove your device microphone, remove the microphone, then plug it back to recognize.

• Installation of Windows 7 64 bit on Envy M6-1205dx - I'm screwed for now...

  I just want to M6-1205dx... First thing I did was bust on my CD of Windows 7 64-bit... I enabled legacy mode so that it can boot from CD... I deleted all but the recovery partition (thinking it would allow me to go to Windows 8 I if desired)... I install W7, and then he got all the way to the end of the installation and gave error "" windows cannot configure at installed on this hardware "and won't be finished...»

  Then, I discovered that it is not a recovery (must have need of one of the other partitions I deleted) and given that manufacturers no longer include media (all the cents.35 it cost them) I'm totally screwed...

  I really wish I had loaded W7, but if that's impossible, I would put 8 on!

  Any ideas?

• LY580 - installation of windows 8 on SSD

  I would like to install windows 8 on my SSD instead of upgrading my copy of windows at the standard C disk. However, during the installation of windows 8, I says that it cannot install on this disk because it has a MBR partition table and EFI systems require GPT disks. When I try to change that in disk management, I note that the SSD is not configured as a full disc, but is rather a volume of disk 0 with the HARD drive. How would I change this so that I can install windows 8 on this drive?

  Thanks for any help

  I had the same problem. Guess that's the problem with the config RapidDrive. PC with RapidDrive are not upgrading to Windows 8.

  I suggest:

  Pure install Windows 8 on SSD

  Go to the link below and read the last post on the page by BinaryInk

  These instructions will help you activate Windows 8, even if you only have an upgrade key. (That worked for me)

  and use the SSD and HDD separately for now.

  Finally wait for Lenovo release RapiDrive for windows 8 as promised.

  Hello, my name is Lewis and I have some questions about windows Multipoint. I help with a service that is intended for children with autism and we begin with a small group to leave the children to meet new people and play games together for example Minecraft. I'll try to find a cheap solution we currently have 4 computers (one for each child) but where the thought it would be less expensive to use multi point since we just get a single computer.

  We have a budget of £1000, we also hope to expand beyond 4 children at a time thereafter.

  1. how much is windows Multipoint?

  2. If possible can someone link me to a pre-constructed computer, we could buy it to support a number of people

  3. the key is that I need to figure out how to get the installation of windows multipoint, I know a simple guide on how to put in place for a number of people and enlargement before buying equipment. I'm sure there are many more experienced people out there I have to do this so hoping that this post is customary, please respond with as much detail as possible because I've never done anything like this before

  Here is my understanding on what we buy so far:

  1 computer,

  4 monitors,

  4 keyboards,

  4 mouse,

  and multipoint. It has everything I need to add indicate it

• Installation of Windows 7 Professional on a computer laptop windows preinstalled

  So yesterday, I did a check disk on C:, but since it froze because of some damage to windows, I force shut down (I'm sorry), but when windows came after that, the internet was off because the diagnosis Services policy has been down. After awhile, I realized that half of my registry was severely damaged causing most of the main as firewall programs and some services stop and does not start again. I checked all permissions, but nothing allows me to activate the services. My computer was really slow and freezing all the time anyway so I want to reset it to factory settings, or at least format my HDD, but the problem is that my HP laptop had Windows 7 Professional pre-installed on it so I have no disk to reinstall. Now I need help or opinnions popular on what to do, please someone help me on how to reinstall windows without the disc. (Restore doesn't work either) (I checked for the virus as well)

  Hello

  One option would be to create your own Windows installation disc, but you must always be able to read the activation key of 25 characters for Windows 7 Professional of your COA label - an example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can download the Disk Image, you need from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source - Digital River.

  Images of Windows 7.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Installation of Windows XP on a second disk hard SATA and booting from it.

  History:
  I have a two year old computer and it becomes slow to start.  Its a P4 dual core 2.8GHz with 3 GB of RAM and a hard drive SATA 320 G, that left only 60 GB.  I tried to uncheck all unnecessary items at startup using msconfig, but its still quite slow.

  Proposed solution:
  I bought a new HDD SATA of 500G and I thought performing a new installation of Windows XP on the new drive and boot from that.  I want to leave the old disk, as is if I can still access the programs and files that I have on this subject. That said, I will migrate probably all programs and regularly used files on the old drive on a new and let all my media files on the former.  I don't want to copy all just above (picture disc) because it will bring all the junk with her.

  I backed up my important data to an external drive.

  Issues related to the:
  Is there a problem to have windows XP on both drives?  Will I need to do anything to access my old programs on the start menu in a "new window" - what do I have to reinstall or can I just copy them into folder "program files" the new windows?  What is a reasonable way to speed up my machine?

  Thank you very much for your answers.

  You want to move the old SATA disk to controller 1 (although leave of you for now disconnect) and put the new drive on controller 0 and then install XP. Then set the old drive to the secondary SATA controller. You will need to install programs on the new drive; You may not copy or use the old disk. To stay in compliance with the EULA and activate the new XP successfully, you need to remove the old XP and just use the old disk to store data. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Photosmart C5283 installation on windows 8

  I have a Photosmart C5283 all in one. I bought a new computer - Lenovo Ideapad Z710. I want to install the printer on the computer, but I get a message that the operating system (windows 8) is not supported. How can I install the printer? I heard that there is a driver that can be installed on the printer that will allow the installation. Is this correct? Or do I have to upgrade the operating system?

  Thank you.

  Hi @ElishevaCH,

  Welcome to the HP Forums

  I think that the issue you are running into is simply because the software supplied with the printer CD would not have Windows 8 drivers on it.

  If I'm not mistaken, I have two options for you! You can download the HP printer installation wizard and run it. This tool will search and find the right software for your printer and your operating system. If you are connected to the printer via the USB port you can connect the USB cable when you start the wizard.

  If you would be more comfortable just downloading the software and running it yourself you can do it with the following link: HP Photosmart C5200 all-in-One Printer series full feature software and driver. If you choose this route, please make sure that you do NOT connect the USB cable (if this is how you connect) until the software specifically asks you to connect.

  Let me know if this helps all the

• Installation/space Windows Vista problems

  Recently the Windows Vista Setup program does not allow the installation of the different software components.  Sometimes I have a vague (as impossible to install) error code, sometimes the installation starts from inside IE and then just comes back to IE. But no installation occurs.

  I am slot as Vista Business 64-bit Service Pack 2. (5 gig Ram)

  I have between 50 to 500 free MB on the disk. (I have a drive c to 35 gigabytes.  But, windows uses 31 G (winsxs uses 20 G).)  Supposedly, it's a problem of Microsoft to know during the years that they have no desire to fix.  I regularly try to clean the space, but it's like trying to hold back the Mississippi...

  Uninstall seems to work.

  I ran various utiilties of Microsoft to try to resolve the problem. (I think this is worse!)

  I ran sfc/scannow and it has detected/fixed no problem.

  When I was able to capture more storage space (by moving my virtual memory on another drive) briefly the problem has not disappeared.  The Publisher of the software after several hours of searching in various newspapers told me it was a problem of Microsoft Installer.

  I don't want to re - install the OS that I don't have a number of my installation for different software products discs (they are all legal).

  I'm not so sure that Windows installs my updates properly at this stage either.

  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm drowning in time to support.

  What is E? The dual computer boot or pagefile on E refers to the operating system in C?

  I did not used Easeus Partition Manager, Partition Magic and Acronis who buy software using, but the principles will be similar. What you need to do is to reduce the size of D, so that there is a free space between C and D, and then increase the size of C in this space. You can then increase the size of D in the original unallocated space of 5.86 GB in D.

  I suggest that you study the knowledge base, and there is a line on manual. Print the relevant parts. The FAQ in the first link and follow two particularly relevant links:

• Installation of Windows 7 on SSD HP drive

  We have three HP 8300 Elite SFF machines in our headquarters. All came with Windows 7 pre-installed on the hard drives of 500 GB.

  I bought two genuine HP SSD drives (with 120 GB Intel), but cannot install Windows 7 on them because the provided installation HP discs report that the new disks are too small!

  I contacted HP about this and told me that the recovery disks only supports hard drives, initially installed on the machine, (i.e. 500 GB) or a larger size. I'd like a 960 GB SSD, but I'm not too keen on the cost!

  The obvious solution would be to buy packs of sale at retail of Windows 7, but I hesitate to buy expensive software when I already have a license.

  I had thought to resize the partition of HARD drive, less than 120 GB and copy of data across using a disk image but the facility could be optimized for a hard drive instead of the SSD, and it would probably go to default defragmentation!

  There is no work around that I could use to install Windows 7 from the restore disks original, I want to get these new discs work?

  Any advice welcome.

  Nigel.

  Please see "how to install Windows 7 without the disc" for instructions how to install a new copy of Windows 7 on your computer by using the key of HP OEM Windows 7 SLP/SLIC of factory (not the 25-digit number on the COA), the activation OEM HP certificate factory and BIOS of the computer. Please see below for step by step instructions;

  (1) download and unzip ABR Beta with Windows 7 Support. This is the homepage of ABR for Windows Vista. Please follow the section "How to use" for information and instructions on how to use it. These steps also apply to Windows 7. Perform the 'activation' backup and save the certificates and keys retrieved in several external locations. The key and the certificate for each computer should be the same. (He gets the certificate of your factory installed OS and HP preinstalled OEM factory original key)

  (2) install Windows 7, after all the guests as needed. Don't let not Windows try to scoped. Run ABR 'restoration of activation' to 'install' the previously saved until the product key and the certificate. Make sure that Windows is activated, repeat "restoration of activation" until Windows 7 is activated. (It "installs" pre-installed HP OEM factory original key and certificate from your factory installed OS to your new installation of Windows. This HP OEM key and certificate are what allows your computer to HP be factory preactivated.)

• (Inspiron 7720) Cannot be started on the installation of Windows 8 media in UEFI

  Hello

  I just got a Dell's Inspiron 7720 (computers laptops 17 ") running on Windows 8. As usual, I want to reinstall Windows 8 myself to ensure that I have a clean install (and to be sure, I'll be able to do if I change my HARD drive). I want to do in UEFI mode and not in Legacy mode.

  • I tried to boot on Dell Windows 8 DVD (requested by phone, IE 8 64-bit Windows) by pressing F12 at startup: the only options are "Windows Boot Manager" and "Network Boot. No way to boot to DVD, Windows starts automatically.

  I went in the "Bios" by pressing F2 at startup (Startup tab):

  • I tried to disable "Secure Boot": no result, kept this option disabled.
  • I activated the Option Rom legacy: a new menu "Legacy Boot: ' allows me to start on the drive of DVD, but housing starts of start-up Mode Legacy, which is not allow me to install Windows 8: the installer says my partition table is GPT, so I can't select any partition on my discs to install the OS.
  • I tried to add a boot option with the name of the Boot Option as ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive': is in the list of system files "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /CD" or 2 entries like "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /HD'." ""» I tried all. I left the "File name" line empty. No results: the CD begins to spin at the start and then the operating system starts 2 seconds later. I tried repeatedly pressing "Enter" immediately after the choice of my new boot entry in F12 menu, same results.
  • I tried everything above with the operating system on a USB stick (formatted to Fat32 using this http://www.servethehome.com/uefi-bootable-usb-drive-windows-8-windows-server-2012/), no result. The light on the USB is indicating activity for 2 seconds, then turns off when Windows starts.
  • I tried to start my DVD and my USB on a new Inspiron 660 (office): a line is automatically added in the F12 boot menu and I can start on the DVD or USB in UEFI mode (and I can reinstall Windows), so my devices seem not to be the problem.
  I spent two hours on the phone with a Dell technician, and he was not able to solve my problem.
  It seems to me that Dell has not even attempted to check whether their own DVD of Installation OS works on their computer
  I think I need to write something in the "File name" box when you add a new Boot Option. But why? I forgot something?
  Thank you in advance for the time you spent reading this.

  OK I solved the problem. It's very simple, but obviously the bios needs an update: the one-time boot menu (the one launched by pressing F12 at startup) does not work in the UEFI.

  So, how to start on the DVD in UEFI mode:

  • Insert the DVD into the drive
  • Start your computer by pressing F2 to enter the Bios
  • Go to the Startup tab
  • Add a boot option with the name of the Boot Option as ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' and check that the 'CD' in the end enabled, as "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /CD'." Let the empty file name entry.
  • Put the new entry before 'Starting Windows Management' in the UEFI Boot section.
  • Save and restart.
  • When asked, press a key to boot from the DVD. DO NOT USE one-time F12 BOOT MENU: by SELECTING ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' will NOT WORK.
  When Windows is reinstalled correctly, just change the new boot order or delete the boot entry you created before. Never use the single start menu unless you want to start in Legacy mode (it works).
  I can't believe I lost so much time on this... I hope this will help.
