• Advice on upgrading HP Pavilion dv5234us from Windows XP to Windows 7

  Hello community,

  I think in upgrade my dv5234us computer HP laptop Pavilion of Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, I wanted to just kown if someone out there has done the same and were able to comment on the performance or any question you may know.

  The laptop with the current setup works fine. Even just to think about the upgrade with the idea of not letting outdated laptop. I guess an increase in RAM will be a point, but I have problems with the overall performance, pilots.

  The current configuration is:

  Processor: Intel Centrino Duo - T2300 at 1.66 GHz

  RAM: 1.5 GB

  Hard drive 100 GB

  Any help will be appreciated

  Kind regards

  Carlos.

• OfficeJet pro 8600 don't scan from windows 8 updrade

  Printer is working and it is interesting to windows 8 "HP scan and capture" app works but can scan to network folder or no longer use the scanner in other windows such as windows fax applications.  Had worked fine with win 7 64 bit.  I removed all instances of Panel Manager RESUME and control device, rebooted and installed the latest version of the software and drivers website.  Print and scan the program doctor says problem with WIA and TWAIN and get error "cannot communicate with printer" even if it prints very well.  I am connected wirelessly with a static IP address using a Cisco EA4500 router (even once all this has worked with windows 7, but not with windows 8).  Also disabled norton AV and firewall.

  Appreciate the suggestions/fix.

  Thank you.

  Ok.  I think I found a solution to this inability to analyze (but with the HP scan and capture app) and for windows paint, fax, etx to recognize the scanner pro OJ8600 while being able to print.  Because I never got no solution, I thought I'd post what I have so that maybe it will help someone else solve the problem.  He ends this uninstall/reinstall HP drivers and software/reg cscrubbing/port opening/firewall/AV tweeks did nothing.  I uninstalled the drivers for logitech and webcams microsoft that had been installed on the machine has Windows 7 before windows 8 analysis update, restart PC and now everything is back as it was before the victory 8 upgrade, at least for now. In fact, I have a HP AIO peripheral job! Do not know if the webcam drivers are not compatible with win 8 or exactly what the issue was but seems as if they were in conflict with the wia and/or drivers HP; uninstalling them seems to have worked.  Finally I can find and install the new drivers of webcam but, after trying to figure this out for a month, I think I'll leave it be for now.  I hope this helps someone!

  Whenever upgrades are no longer available. Your best option right now if you need ultimate is to buy a version upgrade or full version and use the product key with the wizard Express Windows 7 Professional upgrade upgrade to Ultimate.

  Where can I still get Windows 7?

  Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate - full version

  Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade

• El Capitan upgrade must be done with a clean install?

  Hello

  El Capitan upgrade should be done with a clean installation, as opposed to an upgrade?

  I don't know how to do this, or what are the advantages and disadvantages?

  This means all the software on my computer is deleted and I need to re - install all the applications (if installing a clean)?   I think not so thought I had better ask!

  Best regards

  Mike

  If you have existing question in your system current, then things could get worse if you upgrade simply. My personal choice is always do a clean install of newest version of Mac OS X.

  How to perform a clean install of OS X El Capitan on your Mac.

  How to prepare your Mac OS X 10.11 "El Capitan."

  OS X El Capitan-download and Quick Installation Guide

  Make your own installer from El Capitan flash drive using the El Capitan tool:

  Be sure to save the installer in the downloads before installation folder, otherwise it will be deleted once the installation is complete.

  You can create an installer of flash of El Capitan via the Terminal drive. El Capitan has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

  You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

  Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

  sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/Untitled--applicationpath X\ "/ Applications/install OS X El Capitan.app.

  Press RETURN, enter the admin password (will not resonate to the window) then press RETURN again.

  You must have setup in your Applications folder or change the paths in the command line above.

• Start Windows with El Capitan upgrade and now OS advantage!

  Hello:

  I had Windows 7 installed on bootcamp and run without a hitch.  With the upgrade to El Capitan, the entire partition and Windows startup option disappeared.

  I tried to correct it and could see the Windows partition with option for (by pressing Option at startup to the top), but the error I get is now that the operating system is missing.

• While trying to upgrade from Windows ME to Windows XP, you receive error - i386\WIN9XUPG\W95UPG. DLL.

  I want to upgrade a Compaq Presario 17XL360 Windows ME to Windows XP Professional, but no other solution I tried other forums worked to resolve the error message about missing file i386\WIN9XUPG\W95UPG. DLL. I don't have Roxio Easy CD Creator installed (a possible cause) and I tried end task on all except Windows Explorer and Systray (another recommended solution). I read that can be installed with 64 MB of RAM, I have, so I want to try to solve this problem without having to install more RAM, as I am trying to upgrade this computer at a lower cost to make a donation to a member of the family abroad.

  Thanks for your suggestion! You will see above, I tried but I didn't have the Roxio Easy CD Creator software in my computer. However, I found the solution. My mistake was trying to install Windows XP Professional as an upgrade, which did not.

  So I finally found a suggestion online that does not work.
  (1) I rebooted and selected "Press any key to boot from the CD" (something like that!) and installed Windows XP Pro as a new program.
  (2) I followed the instructions in the readme file, and when I got to the question of the partitions, I deleted the two existing partitions (one was where the old Windows ME operating system, and the other was a program 'system'.
  (3) after the removal of two partitions, I created a new one, following the instructions written in the installer and install Windows XP without problem.
  (4) Note: when trying to install XP as an upgrade and get the error above concerning the missing file and the cancellation, the computer still gave me the option to click "install". I tried a few times and each time, he told me that my product key is not valid. However, when I installed it as a new program, all installed easily and he accepted my product key invalid. So people, don't believe the message 'invalid' immediately, you can also have a valid product key.

  BUT I'll have to give in and buy more RAM, because I had only 64 MB and I need 256. Evidence? My first installation of the Norton Antivirus software, and then it was slowing my computer to a crawl. I'm trying to uninstall it now, and it takes a long time. Tomorrow I'll determine exactly what to buy and install.

  I hope this helps others solve this error - the support person level 2 Tech I contacted HP support earlier told me that they have the expertise to solve the problem. You can do it!

• How can I move my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7? Custom or upgrade?

  Hi, I have a Dell XPS M1530 with Windows Vista 32 bit, I bouht a Windows 7 Family pack upgrade, my computer has this partition of the hard drive C: 220 GB and RECOVERY D: 10 GB.

  I want to know that if I do the install as upgrade, it will keep the same partition of hard drive?

  If that's enough, this partition of Windows 7, or should I do a large partition?

  If I copy the D: RECOVERY files, do a factory image restore in the future?

  I have some other doubts that I ask after this ones.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi Walter,

  Dell has not yet, I bought the W7 dell family pack,

  Let me tell you what I did, I opened the D: RECOVERY and copy all the content in an external hard drive just in case where I don't know (I don't know how to do the recovery disc).

  I copy all my files on the same portable hard drive, and then I make an original image to restore.

  I update W Vista until Service Pack 2 and now I try to install the Windows 7 upgrade, but I don't know how to do and if I do which is how I had to do.

  I have the reistalation W Vista 32 bit of dell DVD.

  Let me ask you something when you said: ' make an upgrade should keep the same data programs and settings, etc ", do you mean that when I do the upgrade of the partition of the factory will be the same after the upgrade?

  copy the files from an external hard drive recovery and create a disc from there will not allow you to use them to reinstall vista

  Ask how to do recovery dell discs

  read my 1 answer

  and make the windows 7 upgrade was referring to the installation of windows 7 as an upgrade to vista on partition of 220gbs

• Upgrade from Windows Vista to XP?

  Toshiba will offer an upgrade to windows vista from windows xp?

  Hello

  I don t think that Toshiba will offer an update WinXP Vista.
  Windows Vista is a stand-alone operating system and it must be installed with the original Microsoft CD or with the Toshiba recovery image. I'm 100% sure that Toshiba offers the recovery for the latest laptops Toshiba Vista CD.

• Will there be a direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8 final version?

  Migration to Windows XP 8

  Will there be a direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8 final version?  If so, are there details around this yet?

  If by "direct" you mean that you don't have to reinstall your applications, then almost certainly this option will be available.

  If you simply mean "l will be able to use an upgrade rather than a full license" - it's a lot more muddy waters, but I suspect that MS is going to cut the rug under the judicious XP and only allow upgrades from Vista and Win7.

• How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Is it possible to upgrade from Windows 98 or Me to Windows Vista?

  I'm having a discussion with a colleague.  Does anyone know if it is possible to do an UPGRADE of Windows 98 and Windows ME for Vista?  Or you have to do a clean install of Vista?  Can you upgrade from Windows 98 and Windows ME to XP and then move from XP to Vista?  Any help would be appreciated.

  original title: the upgrade to Vista

  I don't know if it is possible to upgrade 98 Me XP, but I know you can't straight upgrade 98 to vista. You can only pass a single version, so it should be XP to vista.
