  Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

  You can see this message if you downloaded Windows 8 64-bit and XP 32-bit. To start the installation of Windows 8, you will need to restart and boot from the installation of Windows 8 media.

  If you want to keep your current installation of Windows, you can install it on a separate partition and dual boot with the Windows 8 Preview of consumer. To install on a separate partition and dual boot, you must create and boot from the installation media.

  (1) first you will need a free partition on hard drive - if you do not you can shrink a partition and create a new one to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer on.
  To reduce a partition and add a new one that you can use EASEUS Partition Master (free):
  http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
   
   
  (2) to install on a separate disk, you can perform an installation DVD or USB key, then boot from it so you can choose the other partition. To download the ISO file and install media:
  Download Windows 8 consumer Preview ISO:

  After you download the ISO file - use the Windows USB/DVD Download tool to install media:
  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
   
   
  (3) installation on a separate partition for dual boot:
  1 make a DVD or USB installation drive - to see the two options above.
  2. start from the DVD or USB install drive and click on install when prompted.
  3. during the installation process, when asked - choose a custom installation.
  4. Select a free partition on the hard disk to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer - this will install Windows 8 on a separate instead of your current Windows partition partition.
  5 continue with the installation.
     
   
   
  First of all please note:
  1 consumer preview Windows 8 is a pre-release and will only work for a limited time - when it expires, you need to remove it.
  2. the overview of consumption is stable and has been tested, but it s not the finished product. Your PC may crash and you may lose important files. You should backup your data and you shouldn't test Windows 8 Preview of consumers on your primary home or business PC.
  3. If you install the preview of consumption on the Windows partition is currently installed, you cannot uninstall the preview of consumption. To return to your previous version of Windows, you will need to reinstall from the recovery or installation media supplied with your PC.
  4. in addition to dual boot, here are a few methods to install Windows 8 Preview of consumers without affecting your current installation of Windows:

• Over 2 years factory restore, Windows 8 Gateway fails to validate Windows 8 from the bios encrypted

  Hi all. For two weeks now, I tried to help a veteran 84-year difficulty his virus infected Office Windows 8 Gateway (Walmart) age of 2 years old.

  The poor old man was a PC buyer first time when he bought this PC two years ago & didn't have understand the consequences of not renewing its 60-day trial version antivirus. Therefore after continuing to run his PC online almost two years later, it was badly infected. I went there to help a couple of weeks & he was clearly infected. I installed Malewarebytes, which found more than 2100 malewares & 7 Trojan horses...

  I used the factory at the same time restore within Windows 8 boot, & of course, it works but will not validate Windows 8 once it ends. I even tried to clear cmos without result. He can simply read the product ID key encrypted from the UEFI bios.

  I could go in another (horrible) story about a third out of the seller of the security assistance Acer references on their site, but in reality what good it would do at this point?

  Does anyone have a solution for this?

  Thanks in advance for your time, review, & effort!

  Kind regards

  Frank

  I would try to use the Microsoft phone activation before installing windows 7 (it must define Roop, disable startup secure, sometimes you need to update your BIOS too to have the option of CSM)

  Press Office windows 8:

  the Windows logo key + r

  type

  slui.exe 4

  Press enter

  Choose to activate by phone and follow the instructions on the screen.

• At the end of the factory restore, but black screen after "Windows has set up the computer.

  The model in question is VC863AA #UUW

  I want to get back the computer to the factory condition, so I rebooted and you press F11. Everything went exactly like this: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00814731#N72 (chapter "Start a restore from the hard drive and the computer is off")...

  .. until step 10, which States:

  "The computer restarts and continues in the installation of Windows. Complete the configuration screens and wait until the computer finishes the installation program. "Then turn off the computer, reconnect all devices and turn on the computer.

  Yes, the computer restarts. She continues in the Windows installation (it says "medan windows konfigurerar datorn Vanta", which means roughly "Please wait while Windows configures the computer"). After that which was for about 5-10 minutes, the text disappears and the computer restarts by itself.

  After that, he gives a normal load Windows Vista bar and after that black screen. It seems to be a little bit alive but jammed somehow. If I let it be for several hours, he goes to the standby mode. If I wake up, he still won't. I can plug a USB another keyboard and he will make some access to hard drive (load a driver probably). I can press the sleep button and it will go into sleep mode. But if I press the power button / stop briefly, it will NOT stop.

  So finally, after several hours I forced to shut down (by pressing the power button / stop longer). When I start it, it goes back to behave as explained in the previous paragraph.

  If I press F8 during startup and select Safe mode, it goes in safe mode and I get dialogue indicating in Finnish:

  «Asenna Windows: Windows ei voi suorittaa vikasietotilassa asennusta.» See devam fenetresdans asennusta uudelleen tietokoneen kaynnistamalla. »

  Rough translation:

  "Installation of Windows: Windows cannot complete installation in safe mode." "You can continue the installation by restarting the computer.

  If I restart the computer, it goes back to the black screen after the windows loading bar.

  This suggests that there is something in the installation of Windows who jams it.

  I can install Windows Vista from a Vista DVD, but then I can't use the software included with the computer. (App States installation cannot install on a machine that is unauthorized, then of course they are looking for some OEM HP things.)

  Any suggestions on how to fix jam that continues with installing Recovery Windows or how to install the software on a normal Vista would be very appreciated.

  I solved the problem. Good thing I didn't order the restore disks, because that would not have solved the problem.

  I decided to post it because I don't know there will be others who have HP Pavilion Elite m9754sc and will have to face this problem of a black screen after the restoration.

  The fact is that the restore worked perfectly, but in this display card driver is buggy and it causes the screen to go black.

  I thought that what I installed fresh Vista which worked until I installed the driver from the recovery partition display. I tried VGA, outputs HDMI and DVI on the factory installed GeForce GT220 and none worked.

  A defective display driver should normally be no problem we could go in safe mode and fix it to the it. But as with the recovery goes to pre install state (ask what language to use etc.), safe mode does not work.

  So the solution is to unlock the display of the motherboard connectors and remove the factory installed GeForce GT220. Once the recovery and installation of Windows is finished using the graphics card integrated motherboards, you can reconnect the GeForce GT220 and get a updated driver with safe mode.

• Dell Inspiron laptop, Windows Vista Factory restore problems :(

  Hi, I'm a poster first. My computer knowledge is empowered moderate, so please cut me some slack! I hope someone can help me, I would be very happy.

  I have a Dell Inspiron laptop computer and the operating system Windows Vista 32. I recently tried a factory restore. I wish that I would have looked at this site before I tried.

  I finished the factory restore, but I think that I made a mistake. I have saved all the files except my music files, because I didn't think anything was important. I'm stoopied. Now, when I try to use my computer is a few things wrong with it.

  1 there is no way to connect to or even to recognize a wireless network. I have one in my house who previously worked a lot with my computer. When I use windows to diagnose the problem: "this computer has an adapter installed and configured wireless device." If I click on the button that says "install wireless networking equipment and verify that the correct drivers are loaded. Up is a window "Solve driver problems" which is almost useless.

  2. when I try to run a program, for example already installed windows Mah Jong Titans, on the computer I get this message: "exceleration material is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow down the performance of the game. Good so my video card is not well configured. Now that I look, the resolution looks really different than before. Kind of a blur. I use my computer to run the music production software so I don't know that this is going to work.

  3. I have the DVD of re-installation of the operating system. I also have the CD of resources that contains all of the drivers (or other.) I can't load the drivers, or even knowing which ones I should install.

  I guess that I just want to know what I do to recover my computer at 100%. I hope that my problem is not too broad or too specific, but I hope some feeling there out a pain and can help out me.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE

  OK, the factory restore (takes 10 minutes) is less work because everything is done and you do not have to load drivers or utilities. In any case, it is easy to do and you have all that on the drivers and utilities CD. There might be a few steps on the CD, but you can download Dell. Once you have reinstalled Windows back post and I'll tell you the order in which to load your drivers. To do this: equip your Windows DVD. Everything that comes close to her. Restart the computer. As soon as you see the Logo Dell press F12. You will see the start page. Select your drive (should already be highlighted) and press ENTER. Press a key, install now, accept licenses, instructions are not always the same for each computer, depends on your configuration. Take your time, follow the instructions carefully. You must delete all data from your hard drive (C :) and the NTFS file system format. Also delete (D :), it's where is the factory restore.) You can post back if you arrive at a page (just stop there and wait for my reply) you don't understand.

• Restore from a backup of Windows Image

  Hello. My laptop crashed due to a hard drive failure. I bought a new HD that I want to re - ask a Windows Image backup. But I don't have a Windows 7 bootable recovery CD because the OS came preinstalled on the computer when I bought it. (I remember to create a recovery disk, but I can't find). However, I recently bought a new computer with Windows 10. Is it possible to create a bootable recovery disk Windows 10 in order to restore my old Windows 7 OS on the new HD in my old computer? If so, what is the procedure?

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

  Robert,

  Restore points - I found them little reliable so I stopped using them.

  • I trust instead of images of the system [I partitioned single HARD drive of my laptop in 2 drives with the OS & apps on all my own files on another - it makes system one image breaks as they take less than half an hour to make and at the same time restore].
  • Restore points disappear over time to make room for new ones to make.
  • Nothing can create a subsequent restore point - point restoration, you saw after that install the new update agent was probably made at the beginning of its installation so using this restore point could have set up your computer to the State it was in before to install the new update agent.
  • Restore failed, I don't know what state the computer is now so I think that you need to install the new update agent once again.
  • I think that restore points are supposed to not do anything if they cannot complete successfully, but I don't know if this is what is happening in practice.

  Installation of the new update agent -

  I think you need to install it once more to make sure that all its components are installed correctly.

  The disappearance of the red shield looks like progress [but I am still concerned that the restore attempt point can or could not have].

  Factory restore -

  Where you see references to Restoring factory that has nothing to do with the restore points or WU - "there's still a State factory 2010 option.

  • All computer manufacturers who provide computers with Windows preinstalled must provide a way to reinstall Windows.  Some achieve this goal by providing a reinstallation DVD while others do so by creating a factory restore on the HARD disk that is used partition to reinstall the entire computer from scratch - it reinstalls Windows as it was when you bought the computer but they can omit some of their own utilities to the restore factory image [, so it can be disappointing].
  • A factory restore partition is, indeed, a recessed installation disc.  So it you would set to 2010 and you need to reinstall all your applications.  I think you'd be worse off are you now to the extent where updates to go [you would reach a State before SP1 you might even think of the rollup update].
  • The factory restore partition is almost always on a non-Windows partition [a portion of the drive that Windows doesn't know anything about] If chkdsk would not reveal any useful information.
  • If, but I do not recommend, you wanted to restore factory , then you must follow the procedure in the manual of the computer & on the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

  Corrupt applications -

  • You may have to reinstall these in light of what you have already written.
  • As seems inevitable, installing Windows 10 becomes a possible alternative - if you can solve the current problems without having to reinstall applications and then install Windows 10 seems to me too much extra work.

  The Mute light & hardware drivers -

  This could be a problem with a hardware driver or utility of the machine to a computer.

  • Control of such things as lights Mute tends to be through drivers installed by the manufacturer of the computer so reinstall those who could solve this problem.
  • I expect to find the right driver on the website of the manufacturer of the computer, but, being a non-standard element, I'm only guessing when I suggested that it might be the keyboard driver.
  • On Dell such light would probably be a Dell QuickSet utility function, rather than a keyboard driver, which may also be the case with other computers.
  • If you have installed Windows 10, you would have to do a general review and search for hardware drivers, even if most of them will be detected by & installed by the installation process itself or the original WU that you then run.

  Good luck

• Received a call from the scam making pretend to be Windows technician

  Original title: the license expires

  Received a call today by a technician from Windows indicating they received the error messages from my computer and that my IP address has been disconnected.  I bought my computer in 2004 and never received any notice.  He said that some of my programs may stop working if I did not renew the license.  My question is - is - it a legal representative of Windows or just someone trying to sell a product?

  (1) "licensing" do not expire.

  (2) no MS gets your computer error messages. In fact, they would have no way of knowing something about you.

  (3) it is not a representative of Windows. Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls.

  (4) it is a well known scam talked again and again in these forums.

  (5) they do not sell anything. They want access to your computer and your credit card. You know what's going to happen.

• Download Windows Vista 64-bit to restore from overview of Windows 8?

  I can support Windows vista 64 to restore from overview of windows 8

  Hello.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Do you know until try you it if the recovery Partition is available or not.

  It depends on how you installed Windows 8 and how your computer manufacturer has the set up recovery Partition.

  He destroyed it with a manufacturer that I know.

  Installation of Windows 8 could destroy this option of relocation:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
