Have two Copies of Windows XP Home Edition on the computer. How can I remove the original copy of Windows?

Recently, I had to reinstall the operating system on my computer because I became aware of virus and I couldn't afford to take it to a professional, and I thought I could fix it myself. I decided to go ahead, but I discovered when I booted my computer, it shows the first copy of Windows as well as the new copy, which, in fact, turns out to be better than the original. Now, I would like to know how to remove the first one because it takes a lot of memory space and it for lack of place the proformance with the second copy. If it's too complicated and you think I should take it to someone who knows better than me, then so be it. If it is not too much to ask, I would like to have an answer soon enough. Thank you, Christine

  • How can I remove red underlined copy formatted in a document from windows 7?

    Every time I have copy and paste a new paragraph in an existing document she copies in red and it is pointed out, and I can't delete or convert to black.

    It sounds as if you are using Word & you track changes .

    For instructions, see Help Integrated Office & Office forum.

    In Word 2007, you can click on the review tab & you will see that the track changes button is clicked.

    Click & it will cancel this installation so the red underlines do not appear.

  • I have a song on my device that is grayed out. How can I remove it?

    In the "On My Device" section in iTunes there is a song on it is gray. I want to remove it but it does not meet clicks.

    How to sober up so I can remove it?

    I looked through my phone and my account settings. I even tried downloading the album once again, but that didn't work.

    iPhone 4S OS. 9.2.1 (13D 15)

    iTunes 12.1.3.6 64-bit

    The following steps should solve the problems around the synchronization, assuming that all the content you want in your library.

    (If it isn't see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device)

    1. Backup device.
    2. Restoration as a new device.
    3. Restore the backup that you made earlier.

    NB. A feature introduced with iOS 9 called thinning or slicing app app allows each device to download just the code and resources required by this device, resulting in smaller downloads and a better use of the storage on the device. Therefore the device is no longer the universal version of the application that can be installed on any device to transfer applications is no longer supported. You can however download past purchases to iTunes and/or to activate Automatic app downloads buy to make sure iTunes has always the apps you want on your device. Another change to the way the restorations are implemented means that all private data app is restored and apps that are not in the library are waiting for download on the iTunes Store on Wi - Fi, in a similar way to the restoration of the iCloud way works. Not having apps in your library is not the disadvantage that it once was, but you're still at risk of losing a favored app if it is removed from the Bank and you don't have a local copy.

  • Don't know which of my two copies of Windows 7 to use

    Hi, sounds like a stupid question, but I have two copies of Windows 7, the one installed on the machine 1 and another which is installed on machine 2, who is now dead.  I want to use the product key from machine 2 (these are these two retail licenses) on my new machine 3, but I don't remember which of the product keys I used to machine 2.  I'm worried if I'll take a guess and be wrong, it will disable the machine 1.  Any suggestions on the best way to go about this?  Thank you!

    Right-click on CMD

  • How to have two copies of the same program to install on WIndows 7 and on the desktop

    «"" "Dear help forum:»»"»

    I am new to WIndows 7, but just have not found the right research
    How to get my answer from Microsoft/Windows 7 basic knowledge.

    I have two programs. There are two versions of the same program
    ('LACE') One is the version 4.0.1, and the other is Version 4.0.6.

    I wish I had one old continue to run (using a purchased
    Product key which I own and have for years).

    BUT there is a problem. The old and new programs are the
    same 'setup.exe '? Download 124 MB each. There are small but
    many corrections and changes in the new program, I am told, but
    they do not have add up to change the size in MB of the program.

    SO I'm in trouble when I'm trying to download the program, as
    It seems to be in WIndows 7, a small program that removes the
    size of the incoming download and informed me that I can not download
    a new that I have already one of this program is installed in the
    computer!

    He asks me if I want to "Uninstall" the previous version and then replace
    It is with a new one. I can't cancel the old version because she had a
    Product key that was told to me in the instructions that he could
    only be used 'once', to uninstall the program won't help
    me as I won't be able to continue to use this program once again, as the
    registration code could only be used once.

    I have a purchased code new, different program version 4.0.6.

    Is this a problem with WIndows 7? I already called/sent the
    company and they have no help and no solution for how these two programs
    are to run on the same computer at the same time.

    Can you please help me and provide instructions on how I load
    This program of "LACE" most recent second size 124 MB and even download
    name in the computer (replacing the automated duplicate program
    prevention installer routine), so I can have and use two copies of
    This program on the computer at the same time?

    During the creation of this issue, I had an idea of what will happen if I created a
    second Downloaded Programs folder to contain the program setup.exe inside
    and try the operation or the opening of this place. He did not like
    the program checked the computer for the first copies of the
    LACE and identified, he was always present in the computer and asked
    Once again if I wanted to remove it.

    Thank you very much!

    If this program is not designed for the execution of the two copies on a single installation of Windows, then you simply can't do.  No ifs, ANDS or goals.  You have never been able to do with any version of Windows, and apparently the creators of this program thinks there is no reason to do so, then you'll just have to choose one version or another.  I'm not familiar with the lace, but more recent versions programs usually include most of the older features while adding the most recent.  They sometimes make us learn new ways of doing things that make us less happy, but I'm afraid that's life in the world of computing.

    That said, I must mention that there may be alternatives that you might continue even if they are less obvious than what you suggested.  If you have the professional version or full edition of Windows, you can get XP mode free you can start Windows 7.  It normally happens in 15 to 30 seconds and you could install and run another version of your program under that.  If you do not either of these versions, you can invest in the Anytime Upgrade and do it available.  Upgrade Home Premium to professional is $ 90.

    The other alternative would be a dual-boot configuration where you could have two versions of Windows in separate partitions, so when you start your computer, you can select the one with the version of your program you want.  I think that the choice of the XP mode would be preferable because it would be so much easier to use, but these two options are available, if you want to continue.

    Good luck.

  • How can I move a good copy of Windows XP Edition family of my G drive to a bad copy of Windows XP Pro onDrive C (startup disk) without destroying all the data and programs I have on these two discs?

    I have a computer that I needed an extra hard drive with a lot more memory that I had on this subject.  I had Windows XP Home Edition on it and was very satisfied with the system.  I came back from the computer repair store and my old hard drive was drive G, with all the old data still on it and a (used) and more C drive was in the unit and it's now my boot drive and I not paid no attention to it, he soiled by Windows XP Professional with service pack two.  I really did not notice the difference and I started to put several other new programs that I need on this computer and I went to work.  After over a long period, I now had a notice that it wasn't a valid Windows product.  I wondered of course that with Microsoft, because I had all my documents, my records, (now lost) and the key that was on the side of my computer.

    As I continued to find out what was going on, while doing a search for information on the drives, I found the original Windows program, I had, now my question is, how can I move on my C drive, while MY ORIGINAL Windows XP Home Edition causes my computer to start?  Most of the programs that I run is not compatible with Windows 7 or Vista even, and it cost me a fortune to buy all of these programs again.

    What can I do?

    Hello

    The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
    You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.

    Also check with the site of the manufacturer of your router, because they will have in-depth details on how to
    set up the network.
