File copy and/or physical installation?
I intend to keep Windows 7. However, I would like to take advantage of this free window 10 for some customers. I intend to install windows 10 on a separate HD Windows 7 and have a system dual boot. You will be able to provide a physical CD/DVD or a digital copy of Windows? Or is it an UPGRADE of windows 7-online windows 10 ONLY. Let me repeat that I still want to keep my windows 7 installation. Thanks in advance for any help and or the answers that are provided.
You will need to PURCHASE Windows 10 to do what you are thinking.
'FREE' is a UPGRADE scenario. You cannot use your license of Windows 7 anywhere-even on the same machine - in order to be legitimate.
(This isn't an answer 'technically it won't work', it is a fact "you won't follow the EULA").
If you want to keep your installation of Windows 7 on this computer and run a full RTM copy of Windows 10 licensed - you buy Windows 10 or update a license for another OS that is not related to another computer using the free update. If you just want to run 10 Windows side-by-side (dualboot) Windows 7 on this system and that you don't care if you're permanently in 'test' mode: join the Insider program and continuously to get the latest updates/etc for Windows 10.

Windows broke down and I need to reinstall Vista. So I can make a backup of my favorites, but I guess that there is a file somewhere on my crashed disk that bears this detail. If so, can I copy this file and replace in my new installation of firefox. If this file exists, I would like to know the name of the file that I need to copy and that I could find it in the directory.

Cannot copy files from Windows XP during installation.
While Windows reset through the repair track (not the console repair) using the original disk of XP, 44 files could not be copied. I turned off the antivirus Avast. Then again 29 files (including the migregdb.ex_) could not be copied. Once the process is completed the win XP works, I can connect to the internet and exploit all the programs, BUT research, help and Support, and then Windows Update stopped working. No idea how to overcome the problem of file copy will be appreciated.
AlexHello
Disconnect all external devices to your computer and see if it works.
You can also use a different Windows XP installation disk and check if the problem exists.

IM TRYING to re - INSTALL WINDOWS VISTA ON MY T-6321 to the front door, BUT WHEN I INSERT THE DISC, AND INSTALL, a MESSAGE APPEARS SAYING: WINDOWS cannot OPEN THE FILE D:\Sources\Install.wim REQUIERED. Make sure that all required files for installation aare available and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8007000D, SHOULD ALL BE ON THE DISCALREADY?
Hi JRCLNSIN100,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.
We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.
· What is the disk you use to reinstall?
· Is this a recovery or reinstalling the disc you are using?
· When exactly do you get this error message?
· What is the edition of Windows Vista, you try to install?
· How old is the drive that you are using?
· How are you starting the installation process?
After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.
First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.
To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.
To perform a flat installation of Windows Vista, follow these steps.
Note The hard disk must have at least 3 GB of free space on the disk for the Windows Vista installation files. The hard disk must have at least 15 GB of additional disk space to install Windows Vista. For more information about system requirements for Windows Vista, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/editions/SystemRequirements.mspx
- Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
- Start Windows Explorer.
- In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
- On the Edit menu, click select all.
- On the Edit menu, click copy.
- Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
- On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
- Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
- Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.
See the link below for more information on flat installation.

This problem can also occur if the firmware of the DVD drive is defective or obsolete.
If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you install the latest drivers for the DVD player on the computer.

My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?
In fact, it can be easier...
If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:
E:\Users\username
Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:
\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.
If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.
To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

Envy 17-j020us, cannot cut/copy and paste in the file Explorer
I can cut/copy and paste the url and the text to speech, etc, but I am unable to cut/copy and paste files in Windows File Explorer. I tried malwarebytes and virus programs running. HP support has tried to access remotely to identify the problem without success. Y at - it another option in addition to a factory reset or restore point? Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi jdavis33811,
Have you tried the three methods of cutting and pasting? Using the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-X CTRL-V, right click on the file and selecting cut, then using the tape from the file Explorer / File menu.
If you have tried all three, the next thing to try is a boot minimum to see if something is in the background to block the order. A clean boot loads Windows with the drivers and the minimal software. This link of Support technique Microsoft will show you how do it.
Once you have made the clean boot try three methods of cutting and pasting. If it works the next step is to go back to msconfig (see Microsoft link above) and enable half the services you shut-off valve to the clean boot. Then try to cut and paste again. Keep half of the remaining services that allows until you cannot cut and paste, then disable half of the services that you just active. This, until what specify you what service has problem.
If after all that you still have a problem then the next step would be to backup your files on an external hard drive or a USB flash drive and then doing a complete System Recovery.

PDF, COPY AND PASTE FILES
A Treasurer, I send monthly reports and statements my Secretary into the monthly minutes. He told me that when sent in PDF format, although it can download and open it can then transfer the minutes ("you can't copy and paste the content of PDF files") I am surprised by this, I had no need to do it myself. Is there a solution to this outside sent to him in a different format?
