Full version of Windows 8.1 - it will be available and how much it will cost it?
I recently bought an iMac, installed Parallels on it so I can run some Windows programs, only that I need to use.
I recently bought an iMac, installed Parallels on it so I can run some Windows programs, only that I need to use.
I tried to migrate to Windows Vista from my PC via an external hard drive, but continue to get the error messages and since I really don't want to continue using Windows Vista, I would like to know if - when Windows 8.1 comes out - it will be available in full version (I don't want an OEM version that I heard that these versions are not guaranteed to run on Parallels).I tried to buy a full version of Windows 7, but the price is quite high and it seems more sensible to go for the latest version of Windows, if I can. As others have commented it Windows 8 is not available in full version (unless you buy OEM). This leaves only really WIndows 8.1.If Windows 8.1 will be available in full version, I would also like to know how much it will cost.Thanks for any help that anyone can give.
Hello
When Windows 8.1 is out, there will be major changes to the license.
The concept of an 'upgrade' version is removed. All versions of Windows 8.1 will be full versions. This version can be used to upgrade or installed on a blank disc with no earlier versions of Windows.
The retail price will be, Windows 8.1 $119.99 (US) and Windows Pro 8.1 will be available for $199.99 (US).
There is always a version System Builder (OEM) available from third party resellers.

Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 that I would use the edition update for Windows XP?
Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 to upgrade Windows XP with a custom installation, as I would with Windows 7 Upgrade Edition if I want? (If I decided that I would rather clean the entire hard drive so I can use the full Version of Windows 7 without the need of Windows XP or Vista)

I bought a full version of Windows 7 Professional to install on my Vista Home Premium computer. I tried to reformat my Vista drive in a right click on the C drive and select "format", but I get a message that I can not format this drive. Help!
Thank you
DarleneHere is the Vista Forums.
You have to boot from the Windows 7 disc to do a clean install.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Original title: replacement hard drive configuration issue
My hard drive crashed and I can't access anything anyone on this subject. I have a second hard drive that was used for additional storage only. I'm doing this second walk my master drive. After changing the cables, jumpers, the bios settings to show as the master I am using the Windows XP disk, I try to put in place. I get an error message that says: I need a full version disc windows genuine, not a disc to upgrade to. When I bought the computer it came with Windows ME preinstalled and there was no disk that came with the machine. When I went to XP apparently, I bought a version upgrade, not the full version. Is it possible to get a cd of microsoft, or download a file, which can help get this another hard drive mounting correctly?
Thank you
Jeff

Reinstall the full version of windows 7
Hello
Can I install the full version of windows 7 Home premium if im already running service pack? I had to get my hard drive replaced with a
engineer, when he went to reinstall my vista I couldn't find the disk to place in windows 7 that he had, which I was very satisfied!
Until I got a screen message saying "windows 7 build 7601 this copy of windows is not genuine" I didn't have the product key! so I know that I have to buy
a full version which doesn't bother me I did, but it can I buy and download from Microsoft and just install without problem?
Any help would be appreciated with gratitude
Thank you
This is the product key that determines whether you have a full or upgrade version. If what you bought was a version upgrade then press have you cannot install the upgrade license which means you must start the installation from a previous version of qualification of Windows Vista or XP.

If I'm working on a project in a free trial of Premiere Elements, and then save the project (do not export it) and open it again in the full version of Premiere Elements, the watermark will be removed?
If you have made the timeline or out of a movie from the trial version, it will have this watermark on it.
Once you have purchased and activated the software, you can remove the watermark by going to the folder directory on your computer where your project files are saved and deleting the folder Adobe Premiere elements preview files.

Recently installed the version of Windows Media Player, 11.0.5721.5280 and now whenever I play a piece PC stutters on audio producing a constant noise and freezes. Help, please!
I suggest that you try to update the audio drivers to their latest version. Don't simply check Windows Update, but the site of the manufacturer of the sound card as well.
