Hello

There is no free updates for all Windows XP operating systems.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

There is no update free from XP to Vista, 7, 8.1, or 10.

Forget Vista as support extended for Vista SP2 will end April 2017.

Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7; Windows 7 SP1 to support extended to January 14, 2020.

Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

Follow these steps before buying and upgrading (new installation) of Windows 8.1; extended support ends on January 10, 2023.

Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

Download and run the Windows Upgrade Assistant 8.1 of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8.1 and read the update for Windows 8.1: FAQ here

  • Lost the original system of Windows 7 on my Satellite L650

    Hi all
    I lost my original Windows 7 system after I installed Scientific Linux 6.

    I created the space for SL6 by reducing my C drive (which, in itself, creates no problems,
    I went with Windows a few weeks after the shrink works normally) and
    Finally, I tried to install SL6.

    SL6 installation realized I had Windows 7 and installed the bootloader "grub".
    with 2 options start. But the option of W7 does not work! He said "bootmgr not found."
    And Toshiba (F8 at startup) recovery option does nothing.

    I think that what lay SL6 average, is the hidden Toshiba recovery partition, I am confident
    that the Windows partition has not (yet!) was affected. Is there a way to recovery ONLY the
    initial boot sector and hidden partition?

    I bought the Toshiba recovery disks, hoping to find in them a tool to do it all.
    But no, I can't make a completely new installation, which will erase all my stuff.

    Does anyone know a way to do this? Thank you!

    Recovery image installation does not work on the way you think it should work. You cannot use disk image installation HARD recovery (F8) more now after changing the HARD drive partitions.
    One way to put your laptop to factory settings is the use of the recovery disc.
    You are right. This disc using everything will be removed and laptop will be set to the original state as for the first day after the purchase.
    > Is there a way to recovery ONLY the original boot sector and the hidden partition?
    N ° something like this is not possible.

  • My camera Olympus only works with Apple's Quick Time 7. Is it possible to make it work with my operating system from Windows XP?

    My camera Olympus only works with Apple's Quick Time 7.  Is it possible to make it work with my operating system from Windows XP?

    Apple QuickTime 7 works is because. MOV is the Apple
    QuickTime format.

    QuickTime. MOV files can cause problems with Windows Media Player.
    And... If you plan to try editing with Movie Maker... the files should
    be converted to the. WMV format.

    No guarantee, but the following decoder might allow Windows Media
    Reader to read your. MOV files. Only problem is... it is not freeware to retail.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    3ivx MPEG-4 5.0.4 decoder
    http://store.3ivx.com/3ivxStore/product_details.php?ID=11

    Convert the. MOV files to the. WMV format may be worth a try:

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster download)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup295.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag > FFSetup295.exe< out="" of="" the="">
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

  • Relocation of the original system

    Hi, I have a TouchSmart 600-1040uk purchased directly from the manufacturer in the Czech Republic. So far so good. Unfortunately, my roommate has installed a Czech version of Win7 on this computer without telling me and create the first recovery disks, and later, I even found this new copy of system was illegal.

    So I desperately wants to recover the original system installed at the factory, as I'm not a pirate. But how? The original Image is free, but there is no HP Recovery Manager is available to perform the system recovery. Microsoft System Restore tool does not work with the recovery image (shows empty folder). British partner of HP will not send the recovery disc in Czech Republic, where I live. The manufacturer is no longer a copy of the image and does not really things HP more.

    Can you help me, please?

    First of all the question.  Assuming that the operating system is Windows 7 or Vista, how do you know that the OS installed is illegal?

    If the Czech version of install Win7 still work OK but must still destroyed, look here:

    http://www.ehow.com/how_5643882_restore-recovery-partition-boot-problem.html

    I know what the title says, but the instructions should also work with Windows 7.

    Hi there @ESAGLAM

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you don't want to install an Android update and want to disable the notification. I'm happy to help you with this.

    First of all, you are not obliged to carry out an update of the system. It's up to you to install an update or not.

    One suggestion that has been put forward is to maintain the Notification in your notification window. Then select App Info. From there, you can disable the application. It is often only a temporary solution, because it is a core service of Google app can reactivate itself.

    Google did not include the option to disable the notifications of system update. Often, the only way to do so is by rooting the device or third-party apps. It's something that I can't recommend for several reasons. I refer you to this post in the forum by @SiobhanF with a very useful contribution by @WyreNut rooting.

    Other useful pages, I found related to notifications and automatic updates:

    I hope that this help and if it can help with your problem, please mark this message as a solution.

    Had to do a restoration complete my xp machine and will not update, in the past, system automatically updated with cartridges of siema etc service?

    What is happening, it is that it is so more the possibility of a user friendly hands on automatic update of Windows XP from a clean install.  Windows Update will NOT synchronize with and updated in the current order status to update a machine with a clean install of XP, but you separately download some patches and intermediate updates and apply them manually, to have a machine that connects a bit normally with Windows Update.

    Install the last update cumulative security for the version of Internet Explorer you have currently is essential, and you need to download separately and install it before going any further.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2888505

    Scroll to the information file for XP and Server 2003

    Download the file corresponding to your version of Internet Explorer and install first.

    It is also highly recommended that you install Firefox because IE8 is limited, probably compromised and sometimes useless and will crash on many sites, including Microsoft sites, including linked just above.

  • Restore complete PC - either does not start or before restoration, said "the disk is defined as active in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    I am trying to restore an image backup Vista 64 is 428 GB, the drive under restoration is a Velociraptor 2x300GB RAID 0 (about 558 GB under Windows), and the drive on which the image originated was is labeled as a 750 GB drive (actually about 698 GB / 433 GB used). When I first made the attempt I got some message on the target drive, have to be cleaned by diskpart, so I did. After that, I was able to complete the restoration - but after the restoration, at startup, I get the message:

    "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected bootable media and press a key.

    And under Windows, the drive does not appear. Disk Management displays the disk as unallocated space. So I added a new Simple Volume and then tried the new restoration. But now I get the message:

    "The drive is set as enabled in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    Even if the restore completed successfully after cleaning, the drive is empty, and the player has more than 100 GB more space than the size of the image. After the restoration after the own, why can't it detect the boot sector; and if I try to restore after formatting, why do we say that the disc is too small? How can I successfully restore?

  • After the downsizing of the original software of windows 8 for windows 7 ultimate, I can't find how to access the camera.

    Original title: webcam

    On my laptop hp15r, it is built in hp truevision hd webcam. After the downsizing of the original software of windows 8 for windows 7 ultimate, I can't find how to access the camera. Can someone help me with this problem?

    I have a laptop HP Windows 7.

    Type truevision or webcam or similar in the top of the start menu search box > right-click on the result, then select > open file location.

    My webcam can be found > lecteurC > Program Files (86) > Cyberlink > YouCam

    If I type YouCam in the search box, click with the right button on Cyberlink YouCam, it takes me to YouCam.exe.  You can do a right click on the .exe file and choose desktop (shortcut) so that you can access it from there. Once the shortcut on the desktop you can right click it and choose the PIN to the start menu or PIN to the taskbar tasks.

  • Active Committee's questions - (1) cannot remove unwanted colors, (2) what is "update of the original?"

    I noticed a few colors in the active panel (list Asset\Site) that are not anywhere on my site (using the Site Find/entiere)

    How did get in the list? Maybe, I had used with the color of an element, then I deleted this item.  If so the

    Refresh and reset the list of site commands in the assets Panel, does not remove it. In fact, neither the Site or list of favorites in assets provides for all

    Make a right click Delete function so I can not delete this unused color.  This rather reduces the value of what is supposed to

    have an exact list of the colors used in the site.  I use DW CC while on the subject of the active panel, can someone explain the option named "update of the original"?  What is this for?

    Thanks in anticipation...

    On the bottom right of the components window, you should see several icons, right-most being remove it Favorites (a ribbon icon with - in front of it). Highlight color or the file is most desired in the Panel and click this icon.

    I do not use the components window, but I believe that the function "Update of the Original" has something to do with the functions in DW limited image editing.

    Hi yayatisharma,

    Product key Finder programs are USELESS for Vista computers preinstalled, as they find the product key of plant manufacturers, which is used for installations of mutiple during Assembly of the computer.

    This key will not help you reinstall Vista!

    If you communicate with HP they will post you Recovery DVD for a low price to reinstall Vista and they do NOT require a product key

    Or ask the use of the recovery Partition, which must be copied to the hard drive HP
