EVOLUTION OF OPERATING SYSTEMS

I BOUGHT A DELL WITH WINDOWS VISTA ALREADY CHARGE. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE OPERATING SYSTEM? I WANT TO REMOVE VISTA AND INSTALL XP.

Installation of XP instead of Vista:

http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx

First, go to the Dell website to over lin and check if your model computer has XP drivers available for him...

If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

Then buy a disc XP and license.

Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

See you soon.

  • HP ZBook 17: Evolution of Windows operating systems

    When I bought the HP ZBook, I opted for the operating system Windows 7 on Windows 8 (he had a choice).  Now, I would like to change to Windows 8.  I have the Application and Driver Recovery DVD for Windows 8.  As a side note, last weekend I spend Windows 10 but had to go back to Windows 7 due to MANY problems (specific products would not be open, couldn't scan, could not create a PDF, extremely slow system (think 286 old systems).)  How can I change from Windows 7 to Windows 8 17 ZBook.  Thank you.

    I was able to use the CD of Windows 8 to upgrade the operating system.

    Had a terrible time upgrading to Windows 8.1.  There are about 190 updates of Windows 8 until you can upgrade to Windows 8.1 and upgrade process kept failing.  It would take 4 hours to return the origin of windows 8, because the facility would work and configurations up to 90%.  The solution is to update a little at a time.  Truly prehistoric.  After all this, the 8.1 Windows would not work.    Fortunately, someone posted a solution not to disable a particular update announcement that does the trick.  All together now.  Brutal.

  • Aspire V5 - 571 - "Not found operating system"?

    When I turned off my laptop and turn it on, I get the error message in the upper left corner that says ' operating system not found '.  I then hit the power button to turn off, and then click New to market, and the laptop starts fine. Is happening here?  Even if I select 'restart'... the error messge comes when he tries to restart after it has been switched off.

    It works when I just deactivated after the message and replace the slot - but I'm worried.  The PC is only a month and this just started happening a few days ago and seems to happen every time.

    Thank you!!!

    Two quick notes here:

    1: reset the BIOS to default settings is a very good idea, it sets the HARD drive to start the first and default options of start-up of the plant is affecting as well.

    2: change the settings SATA IDE mode is not recommended, nor do you need a supervisor password. Clear the secure boot settings are also possible by resetting BIOS to the default settings. And evolution boot to the legacy mode is ONLY a good idea if you plan to install Windows 7, Vista or XP "or another completely OS, such as Linux.

    Realistic, this problem is most often caused by being altered or modified Boot Manager. To resolve this problem in Windows 8 open the bar charms and click settings. Now click on change settings of the computer on the lower part of the menu that opened. Click the general tab and scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to the right. Under advanced boot, click "restart now."

    The computer will load into the advanced boot screen. There's a blue screen with white writing. Click on troubleshooting.

    If you have data that you don't want to lose, you have to click on refresh your PC. He's going to do exactly this and leave your single files. However, it is not as effective of a thing and the second option. If it does not back up your data and try to reset instead.

    If you don't have files to lose or don't care if you lose them click on Reset. It will take some time but will reinstall Windows and rewrite your boot file.

    I hope this helps!

  • Vista does not start, fails to Startup Repair indicating that the version of the operating system is incompatible with Startup Repair tool

A message window appears saying "Startup Repair cannot repair the computer automatically. Startup Repair window says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem. Diagnostics details say: Root cause found: the operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair tool.

    I tried to use the Dell Factory Image Restore to restore the system, but it does not end. I get an error message instead. There is no details, it's just a small window with an X and the Word error.

    I also tried to use resettlement Dell DVD, but that doesn't seem to work either.

    Vista does not start at all, not in either safe mode.

    I just ran to the Dell Diagnostics tool, and that is to say that the integrity test of memory has failed... No idea how to solve this problem?

  • I want to install windows os(not genuine) in the mac, I use mac air beginning 15, 4 GB of ram, 128ssd.     I want to play counter strike (overall offensive) in the windows operating system.     is 4 GB of ram enough or it takes 8 GB of ram.

    This means that you ask for assistance on the use of a pirate copy of Windows?

    If you install Windows, you have the advantage of being able to run Windows and the inconvenience of having to deal with all the viruses and stuff for which Windows systems are prone.

  • What operating system is now available with the new Macs?

    About to buy a new iMac. Need very soon. As ordered by next week. Prefer to El Cap installed (would rather wait Sierra went through the selection process before entering a new operating system to work). Anyone knows which OS is available on the Apple Store now (since the Sierra was not yet released to the public)? And if El Cap is still available - when someone anticipate he will not be available? (I want to configure what I buy and places like MacMall, while large, are not as versatile).

    Without doubt, El Capitan, as the Sierra is not released until September 20.

  • How can I download and install the latest version of Safari without having to install the current operating system?

    I just bought a MBP of 2013 (MacBookPro) renovated with OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) and want to update my Safari (version 7.0.5) the latest version of Safari. I tried to download Safari from Apple's site, but he said that I would also install the current OSX (10.11 El Capitan) as well. I want my MBP to stay on OSX 10.9 (because it is the last operating system that supports Adobe Creative Suite CS6).

    Can someone advise me on where I can download ONLY the last Safari?

    Thank you

    Steve

    You cannot run the last Safari on Mac OS 10.9.

    It requires the latest Mac OS (10.11)

    You can create a new partition and install the latest OS above and use it.

    Then the Mavericks partition boot when you want to use Adobe Creative Suite.

  • Had to reload operating system and applications data, now can't get firefox to recognize the profile data

    My C drive (disk solid state drive), which held my operating system and data from the app crashed. I had it replaced, updated Win 7 to win 10 and have downloaded Firefox. I was able to restore my profile from a Mozy backup data and copied in the Firefox folder. But Firefox resolutely refuses to recognize. I tried using the recovery data from an old profile, but no advantage help page. Tried to use the Manager profile, but without success. When I go to Troubleshooting Information and click on file/Show profile, it comes up with a list of files (files starting with bookmarkbackups, which however is empty, down for webapps, which has the file inside webapps.json), then the files from addons.json down through xulstore.json and the file places.sqlite is 10 240 KB Although there is something in there, but Firefox resolutely refuses to acknowledge my profile, bookmarks, etc..

    I'm out of options and ripping my hair out trying to get all my favorites, in which I have a lot of information such as the authentication of data for many favorite sites. It is frustrating that all the information seems to be there, but Firefox ignore all.

    Can anyone help?

    Such a backup is perhaps a ZIP archive containing all the files into it if it is not a real file, but only one file.

    Note is that you replace the file places.sqlite with a copy of the backup that you have to make sure to remove existing places.sqlite - shm and temporary files to SQLite places.sqlite - wal.
    Ditto for the other SQLite files that you are restoring.

    Have you checked the application.ini file in the backup?
