• Upgrade XP to Windows 7 Professional and Vista upgrade to Windows 7 family of versions for a family network.

  We have two computers on a home network: I had built in 2008 with Windows XP and then I bought a HP on shelf with Vista for my children.  I connected them together; the XP pc is connected to the ADSL and the Vista pc gets access to the internet through the network as well as access to a wireless network laser printer.  I'm looking to upgrade to Windows 7.  I would like my own upgrade to Windows 7 Professional for my XP programs, etc. are always usable/accessible.  What I need to upgrade the computer Vista business, too, or can I just switch to the Home version, while keeping our network?

  You will need to buy two separate editions of Windows 7. You'll have to do a custom installation of Windows XP without worrying, there is no way to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7.

  According to the edition of Windows Vista you have, you can do an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7.

  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.

  The upgrade of Windows Vista?

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

  If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

  Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

  Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

• Try to configure Windows XP Pro and Vista Home Premium to connect wireless to a field internal.

  Hello. I recently graduated from a COMPUTER course that was very intense, but I don't think that it covered all the basics for me quite challenge the MCSA exams. In order for me to do, I bought a bunch of MS Press books covering ISA Server, Server 2003, Exchange, etc. My journey made us buy copies of Server 2003 and XP Professional, so that we can continue to practice at home.

  One of the things I wanted to do has been implemented a network in my home, using the software I have (not about to try 2008, although I think that one of the books I ordered comes with a version of a test - but it is in a game for the MSITP exams).

  This is how I currently have my network configuration. Currently, everything is wireless. I have 1 spare computer that I use as DC with active driectory.

  Currently I have a router D-Link DIR 655 (located in the basement) which acts as a gateway to the internet server and dhcp on my network and WPA2-PSK encryption use.

  I have a laptop with Windows XP Pro top (that I gave to my wife - old laptop I have baught strictly for the course, I took), and it is completely wireless. It is located on the ground floor.

  I have an office (located on the 2nd floor) using Vista Home Premium 64-bit. It's wireless.

  There is also a network of printers laser color next to the router in the basement, connected via an ethernet cable.

  On the main floor is also my Wii, which connects wireless.

  So, as you can see, it's a mixture of differnet devices connected through my router.  I have the Wii or the printer to connect to the domain specifically. The printer must be accessible to computers on the domain, but the wii should just be able to connect to the internet via the router.

  The spare box I have kicking around, I put 2003 on server and install active directory. I will also implement via this network storage server. I would like to put up to control the accounts of users of my wife and myself and that it uses roaming profiles.

  This works very well when it connects directly through, but how to configure something like this works wirelessly? I read something on another forum in which is setting up a wireless bootstrap, to authenticate against a Radius Server, and then log in to the domain. However I don't have the money to spend to get ISA Server.  The server will be basically be there just to provide roaming profiles and to store things out of our systems, incase we have problems with one of our computers. We could set up something for our own internal e-mail in the future, but since we live in the same House, it seems rather useless at the moment lol maybe set something in the future to let the other note or purchase or to do list. But for now, just want to configure what initially appears to be a single domain with roaming profiles.

  Everyone has tried to do that? Connection of the wireless networks in a field, with a router provides the address and gateway?

• Refreshing (?) a Windows 7 install and issues related other sorta...

  First, asker time question... Please forgive the wall of text.

  I upgraded my desktop computer HP from Vista to Windows 7 using their free upgrade method too complicated who was to get several DVDs of them, creating about 5 more on my side and invest about 5 hours along the real upgrade.  It was mid-2009 and things were going well. 5 years later, things are starting to get bogged down... I have problems with the start time, the response of the system, etc., and I wanted to re - install Windows 7 to update the system, but if I do it the way HP designed, I need to recover the system of their integrated score that will rebuild Vista, THEN go through the routine upgrade of 5 + DVD and I do not want.

  Can I buy Windows 7 Home Premium, updating my system and use the original key of the Vista software as a number of upgrade?  Do I need to purchase a Version upgrade?  I have two laptops and three desktop computers, all computers equipped with legit Windows 7 installed, but no original Win7 doesn't install DVD... could I use one DVD to refresh all my systems?  If this is not the case, should I have options other than buying a bunch of Win7 installs?

  Thanks in advance...

  You cannot use a Windows Vista a product key to activate Windows 7. The product key to activate Windows 7 is unique to this version. Do you not have a product key with your free upgrade in 2009? Or the free upgrade to Windows 7 received as recovery media instead?

  If this is the case, then its probably best to buy a license of Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade and do a custom install on your current installation disk.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

• Need help importing music mp3 file to my windows movie maker

  I've added music files to my films on windows, Director of music from cd that I ripped to my Windows Media Player, never had any problems.

  Today, I bought several songs from Amazon mp3 in order to add to my Windows Movie maker, and they will not import the Windows Movie Maker program.  They play on my Windows Media Player, however, will not import Windows Movie Maker.  The files say they are mp3 files and Windows Movie Maker says he takes these files, however, I get aRED X and the message 'could not be imported'.  Help!  What can I do to get these files to import to my movie on Windows Movie Maker.

• How can I access files created on Windows 7, virtual pc, windows xp mode applications? __

  I installed an application under virtual pc and I use the application and generate files. I can't access the files with the windows Explorer 7 - and windows Explorer cannot find in a search. I know they are there but they are "virtual".

  Here are two ways to get Windows 7 to access files created in Windows XP Mode:

  1. the XP Mode virtual machine automatically assign a drive letter to each of the disks to the Windows 7 computer.  You can store files directly on these discs.
  2. you can share disk of the XP mode virtual machine and access it as a network drive in Windows 7. Boulder computer Maven
