• Windows 7 Ultimate (MVP version) for the upgrade of windows 10

  I read here on the forums that depending on your version (selling retail or OEM), your upgrade to Windows 10 license will be allowed to transfer to a future computer with new hardware or we will be limited to current pc hardware.

  I have a version of Windows 7 Ultimate MVP, is - retail or OEM?

  I would like to know because I want to buy new hardware (CPU, mobo, vidcard etc) in 2016.

  Depending on the response, it might be interesting for me to wait for the Windows Update until next year and buy new hardware before July 29, 2016.

  If the upgrade of Windows 10 has the rights to transfer to a new material based on the version of Windows 7 Ultimate MVP, do I need to install the version of Windows 7 first before the upgrade again to 10 Windows on a new pc?

  Given that the "'free update is based on your current version of Windows 7 and is linked to your current hardware, you will need to re - install Windows 7 on your new hardware and then upgrade to Windows 10 GWX icon before July 29, 2016.

• Product key not working only not for the upgrade from Windows 7 starter to win 10

  I have two Asus EEEPCs came with Windows 7 Starter.  The product key is on the bottom of the devices.  And they are completely legible.   4 years ago by ish and over the years the installations of Windows crashed, one of them, I installed Linux, the other, I played a bit with the installation of Android.  Today, I have upgraded to Windows 10 for each of them, wipe the disk and did a full install from USB.  One of them was perfectly, the second installation won't take the period key, the product license.  I even tried to change the characters only TWO that could be incorrect due to friction vs O Q and still nothing.   is there a way to send an image of the product key to Microsoft and someone to tell me what the heck is wrong with it?

• Problems of Windows 7 update in preparation for the upgrade of Windows 10

  My OS is Windows 7 Home and I want to upgrade to Windows 10. However, as I update all necessary upgrades by using Windows update, Internet Explorer fails. I wonder too, I have the app for windows 10 Get, but it crashes immediately after the launch. After the experience I uninstalled the KB3035583 to remove the application. Some say that I have the IE11 to solve this problem. The problem is that when I try to download the updates, Windows 10 is download only. The rest No. I pressed as the GET has started to button, simply download windows 10 and then fails to install (maybe because I don't have the windows application 10 get in my notif bar). I don't know what is happening, please help.

  Please be aware, even if you do not get the Windows 10 app, you can always download Windows 10 as one. ISO file, create a bootable copy and update your system.

• How to take possession of the hard drive since the upgrade to Windows 7?

  I've upgraded to Windows 7 from XP.

  Unfortunately I can't access all the files on my old hard drive that is on my computer as drive E, nor I can access all the files on the external hard drive USB either. He says that access is denied. These readers are related to my old account on my XP system who crashed and died.

  How to "properly" take possession of these other drives on my new Windows 7 system?

  Previously, I tried to do with my user name on the Windows 7 system to have all permissions. It does not work. It changes the attributes of all files and folders on my other readers but once everything is done, I still have the same problem and I am unable to access it.

  I also tried to use a program called "edit permissions" and who did the same thing and I still have the same problem. No method worked.

  Please Microsoft, you designed these operating systems if please explain to me how to take full ownership and control hard 'MY' in my XP system discs so I can access all the 'MY' files and folders?

  Thank you.

  John

  1. In 'My Computer' (or simply 'computer' now), click on the drive and choose Properties.
  2. On the Security tab, click Advanced.
  3. On the owner tab, change the owner to be your username (you will need to search for and select your user name).
  4. Apply the new owner to "all subcontainers" (all files on the disc).
  5. Click OK until all of the settings are saved.
  6. Try to explore the disc again.

• Where to find the correct SHA1 checksum for the upgrade Pro Windows 8 ISO?

  I ordered the Windows 8 Pro upgrade online.  (not a preview but the new product on 26/10/12).  I downloaded and burned the ISO of the English version of the Windows 8 ISO file.  I'm assuming that 64-bit. This took place without incident.  I started the upgrade on a PC running Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, but it failed during the installation phase of Windows 8 to 72% with the error "installing Windows 8 failed".

  So I restarted the upgrade and it has not exactly in the same place (72%) and the same cryptic error.
  So I contacted the Microsoft Store and they helped me to go through the process of downloading a 2nd time.  The 2nd ISO file was exactly the same size, BUT it had a different SHA1 checksum!
  Then I tried the upgrade using the new DVD burned in the 2nd ISO file and it failed at exactly at the same stage of the upgrade (72%).
  So I got two corrupt downloads / Burns?   I have no way to tell because all I know is that they have different amounts of control.
  Maybe they all are both wrong, or maybe the question is something else entirely.
  But first things first.   How can I determine if my ISO file is correct?
  What is the checksum SHA1 of a non-corrupt ISO file?    Where to find the information online?

  I have the same problem with my 64-bit windows English version.

  I created a bootable DVD from iso and started to install a clean install by formatting the hard drive.
  Installation will be stuck at 17% and it happened to me like 3 times and I burned a fresh DVD and always the same question.
  It's like the worst level ever... Is there a way I can download an iso of 64-bit bootable DVD and use it to upgrade?

  Hi guys

  I found very useful Web of Toshiba site that provides all the answers!

  You can check and you can get all the details of your order to Win 7 on the page of Toshiba Europe:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-> Win 7 Upgrade-> Win 7 upgrade redemption site-> track your order

  You can also check the FAQ area on this page and you will find the explanations on the billing and payment.

  + Cost of upgrade is Windows 7? +
  + The software itself is free. Do us, however, charge you a fee to concoct the upgrade kit, but also a flat rate shipping charge. The taxes applicable to your order will be calculated during the order process and shown to you until you can confirm the execution of your order by clicking on "submit order". +

  It s clear that the software itself is free and you do not need to pay for Win 7.
  But the whole process (put together the upgrade kit, material, delivery, etc.) fee. But this tax will appear for you until you can confirm the execution of your order
  If you can accept it or you can leave

  So I m wondering what's the problem?
  If you n t want an upgrade, then you can buy a full license of Microsoft which is much more than 29, -.

• I will be eligible for the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8?

  OK, so I have a Dell PC with Windows 7, but there are LOTS of screenshots.

  Well, here it is:

  1. it is a laptop computer Dell Latitude D620, manufactured in June 2005 and in almost continuous use since then. It is still surprisingly running at full pace without any sign of imminent death, the only thing replaced after being the DVD drive by me a few months ago. However, it was for a reason any sold by some obscure computer store in Oregon that no longer exists with... you guessed it... Windows 98! Even if it was a PC brand new with a processor to 3.6 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM and a 80 GB HDD. Someone managed to get 98 supporting NTFS and multiple core processors, as well as all access modern ports.

  2. between yesterday and today, it has changed hands 3times & 1/2. I say 1/2 because it belonged to a mobile commerce rental service. It has been upgraded from windows 98 through the different versions (Millennium, 2000, XP, XP MC) almost as soon as he leaves the plateau. He never had the OEM OS, NEVER, my best guess would be XP Media Center 2005.

  3. when I bought it in March 2011 for $250 on Ebay, it was XP SP3 on it, which I suppose is reasonably close to the OEM and oddly, Netscape Navigator. I immediately updated for Firefox and Chrome (I was taught to hate IE by father of Ubuntu 11.04 - running, he has always not has not upgraded to 11.10 or 12.04 LTS because he does not like she went from Gnome to the complete unit for a more mobile sensation). After about 6 months with the thing, I decided to use the old Vista Pro my dad drive to improve and maintain my stuff and do the same thing in Vista to 7.

  4. I got the Windows 7 Ultimate key off one of these as a reward online survey companies, the insertion of a Windows 7 box was in an envelope in my mailbox the next day. I put it in my computer and it worked for awhile, but it threw an error "you must activate Windows" less than a month. I called Microsoft support and managed to get a free replacement.

  So basically, it of really old (but still able to catch up with modern computers), changed hands a ridiculous amount of time, had a case upgrade and friends-letting-you-use-their-disc-for-free history that calibrated before the Millennium, was sold by a company that no longer exists with a tweak hack and possible root of an obsolete OS without reason that definitively cancelled the guarantee , crossed 2 FREE Windows 7 product keys, no one can find the original license or serial number and still less the person who actually bought the damn thing, AND the kitchen sink!

  My question is, I'll be eligible for the Windows 7-8 upgrade, not, or is there no way to know even at this stage? Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

  NOTE: Most of this information came from a complete history, I bought from the seller (who happened to have a scanned copy of each receipt, label, box and contract of prior to the time of thanks to God, even if I don't think that he could get this info legally or easily) for $ 20 as a result of a non-ebay transaction.

  This blog says MS that you are entitled to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $ 39.99 it aims just have Win7 without making any reference to upgrade history.

• Preparation for the upgrade of Windows 2008 server to a more recent version of IIS

  I am preparing a server from IIS 7 to IIS 8.5 upgrade and installation of Wordpress.

  Based on my past experience with Windows, I just want answers before you begin the process of upgrading to these questions.

  After the upgrade to IIS 7 to 8.5 IIS erases from my old site, and IIS instantly crashes whenever I try to restart it via the services or by doing an iisreset in the terminal, how do IIS running again so I can recharge my virtual directories?

  After I installed Wordpress and IIS starts crashing again, how can I me IIS regularly rerun?

  When I get to the point where I have two Web sites running on the same server (which the Windows server documentation is both 7.0 and 8.5 are capable of handling), but it turns out that I can't get a site to run at the same time without the server crash, how do I turn to the second Web site so I can follow the two sites up and running?
