HD is dead on my Dell Inspiron XP SP3 transferred old 4Yr no external HD files. How to move files to my new computer which has Windows 7.

I just bought a new Inspiron desktop computer that has Windows 7 on it. Many old computer files have been corrupted, however, I was able to save many audio, video, Real Player files, PDF and photo.  I exported my FireFox bookmarks to HTML for the external hard drive.

I can't understand how to transfer all the information from my external hard drive to the new computer with Windows 7. My level of computer knowledge is advanced beginner. I'm sorry to ask such a simple question I minor dyslexia. However the video, I look at all speaks to move from one computer to another and downloading transfer program.

Also, I can't put music in my music files, however, once I know how to transfer to my new Win 7 computer where would I put my Real Player downloads, Favorites Fire Fox, so they find themselves in the right place. I tried the Itunes file to transfer from the external hard drive to the new computer where I had downloaded Itunes and it did not work.

I appreciate any assistance.

Thank you

You can use the copy / paste command to copy your files from the external hard drive to the folders such as Documents, pictures, videos in Windows 7.

When you copy and paste a file, you make a copy of the original file that you can then modify independently of the original file. If you copy and paste a file to a different location on your computer, it's a good idea to give it a different name, so that you'll remember which file is new and which file is the original.

To copy and paste a file:

  1. Open the location that contains the file you want to copy.

  2. Right click on the file and then click on copy.

  3. Open the location where you want to store the copy.

  4. Right-click on an empty space within the location and then click on paste. The copy of the original file is now stored in the new location.

  5. Select multiple files or folders

    There are several ways to select multiple files or folders.

    • To select a consecutive group of files or folders, click the first item, press on and hold down the SHIFT key and then click the last item.

    • To select multiple files or folders that are near each other, drag the mouse pointer to create a selection around the outside of all the items you want to include.

    • To select nonconsecutive files and folders, press on and hold down the CTRL key and then click each item you want to select.

    • To select all files or folders in a window, the tool bar, click on organize, and then click Select all. If you want to exclude one or more items of your choice, press on and hold down the Ctrl key and then click on the items.

    Press the Windows logo key and the p key, and then set up the PC to display on the built-in monitor only cycle through with the arrow key.  You can make this Store if you want - key Windows-p, right arrow once, paused for a few seconds & the laptop monitor should then appear normally.

    You can do so at the end of each session using the external display while you are ready for the use of the laptop on its own later.

    Hello

    What I understand, that is, you already have a free site hosted with Adobe Business catalyst, and now you want to get a more.

    To do so, publish a Muse Adobe Business catalyst site.

    Access to the administration panel and go to settings-> Site Management site, you should see the upgrade option, you will pay for the site, because it is not a free site.

  • I have a 2012 w/Win7 Dell desktop computer, which has started to have a little slower. At the opening of a USB key.

    I noticed recently, I plugged the USB on my PC, has begun to open more slowly. One

    I use the most is small 4 GB and I bought some time ago. So, I thought it was the USB key. I've seen

    a 32 GB drive on sale for $13, so I bought it. But it wasn't the drive, because the new opens a little

    slow as well. This really isn't a big deal, it's only a moment or two more. What would cause this?

    I've owned 6 PCs, since I bought my first after that Win 95 came out. They've all got more slowly than

    they aged.  My current PC is very fast, so as long as it does not get more slowly, it will not

    be a problem. I think it's just something that happens on the PC as they age. I wonder why it is

    the case?  But in general, I am very happy with this Dell desktop computer. It does not use so much power that the

    2005 did. You can tell by the fact that it does not heat the room, as did the 2005. It is important to Florida.

    My new PC is also much lighter in weight and a lot faster. PC is really improved over time.

    Hi Doug FL.

    One suggestion would be to go to downloads and look for an updated driver chipset.

    In general, the PCs slow down over time because of all the waste that accumulates on them. A lot of people a re - install the Dell factory image after a few years to solve this problem. It doesn't take long, but it requires that you back up all your files and then reinstall applications once you have finished.

  • My speakers Altec Lansing ADA745 will work with my 530 s the new Dell Inspiron PC?

    My speakers Altec Lansing ADA745 will work with my 530 s the new Dell Inspiron PC?

    I watched updates of the audio driver for my pc and am not sure which one I need or you can even use it.

    Although "4.1" speaker systems are very common, the ADA745 should work without problems on a new system.  I have no connection to the ADA745 info but I guess it would connect everything as you are currently connected to the old PC.  New systems PC audio supports up to 7.1 speaker (with the most common 2.1 or 5.1) systems.  There is no drivers for speakers, however, you need to define the types of speakers in the control panel (e.g. article 4.1, and if this isn't an option, try the 5.1 and see if works well).   Printed with the new PC installation worksheet should detail the audio connections and if not, there is a copy of the Dell manual loaded on your PC and it has the details on the back panel connections.

    In Vista, the sound control panel is accessible by Start/Control Panel/hardware and sound/Sound.

  • Update graphics card on Dell Inspiron 580 MT

    Hello

    I watch first through similar threads on this site, but I found the newest one was more than a year, so I decided to create a new post

    We have a 6 years, Dell Inspiron 580 Mt. just only because of his age, I'm about to put in a new hard drive, & when doing this, I thought to upgrade or replace the dedicated graphics card.

    At the present time, there is a NVIDIA GeForce G310 512 MB card in there. The computer is used mainly for businesses, so not forced to play on it. The card manages two monitors, two Dell 2007FP with a resolution of 1600 x 1200. For the moment, we're on DVI, one on VGA, but I would like to make two DVI to 'Future Proof' if we replace with a higher resolution larger screens and more.

    What would be a reasonable upgrade graphics card? I would like to find one that would not require an upgrade of the power supply as well.

    Processor is an Intel Core i3 Processor 530(2,93GHz,4MB)

    8 GB of RAM on board

    Suggestions that much appreciated :-)

  • Does support windows windows vista after a factory reset on a Dell Inspiron 530

    I'll perform a factory reset and reset on my Dell Inspiron 530 which has windows Vista Home Premium installed. My question is will download all the drivers and software factory or update the system if windows does not support Vista? It's my first time doing this, and any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Microsoft dropped support for all versions of IE prior to 11 and only allowed up to version 9 under Vista. Also, Google dropped Chrome support for this operating system. Office 2013/2016/Windows Live Essentials all do not support Windows Vista.

    Review the operating system at the end of life.

    Theres no official free upgrade path to TH2 10 Windows, however, you can use the unofficial 10130 upgrade path. The Inspiron 530 works on Windows 10 wells 64bits TH2.

  • Can I upgrade my Dell Inspiron 3000 SFF desktop computer to install my TV Tuner, Pinnacle card?

    I have a previous Pinnacle PCTV digital TV (model #8230 Pinnacle TVC Pro4 SD) tuner card I bought Oct 2008 Best Buy for $88 for my desktop so that Windows XP-which has since died. I want to install in my desktop Dell Inspiron 3000 Form Factor bought February 2015, which has Windows 7 with Windows Media Center, so I can watch TV on my computer screen all working. It did not come with a TV tuner. Is it possible to install a TV tuner in this computer?  I searched the site Web of Dell to nothing does not.

    Not that the tuner is obsolete and the small footprint is really tiny and lacks housing for it. A 7-year-old tuner may not work on windows 7 in any case. It does work on Windows 8 in all. All the tv is now digital.

    TV tuners are becoming less popular, given that some cable companies have introduced all the channels that you subscribe online. My Time Warner service has all my subscribed channels available online, including local stations and HBO and Showtime. Check with your cable provider to see what is available for you online - a much better picture and easy to use.

Now, I still have my old computer sitting here and it is on the same network WIFI get 10 to 15 Mbps of speedtest. It's a dell inspiron with windows vista. This must be a matter of hardware/software. I saw many posts to ask this question but I havnt seen the answers. Please tell me you can help...



    -Ray

    All,

    I have this SAME problem.  I just bought my m6 Pavilion three days previously and immediately noticed that the download speed is very slow.  In addition, a lot of things people recommend this site do take into account that the laptops are brand new, the parameters are already factory installation and things are not running in the background whenever we try to download.  And just like the original - poster I have my old laptop awkward, almost dead here and it's the things download 5 times faster than my new laptop.

    Also, I found another post online from a user in HP Pavilion, who bought a new laptop and this is the slow download.

    So taking all this into account, a PERSON LOGIC CAN CONSLUDE THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH the computer PORTABLE PAVILION.  Yes, is there an employee HP mans this site who can lift this problem and come back with the official HP answer to why this problem occurs?  I will definiately go online and noted the low ratings sites flag if I don't get an adequate response.

  • Dell Inspiron does not fully start

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 s with Windows Vista Home Basic. Last fall I had restored it and after that, it worked perfectly until about 2 months ago. After that I turned on the computer, it goes to the Dell logo, as usual, and then after that, it gives me a message saying press F1 to continue. I would tap it, then he would show a black screen with a flashing underscore. After a while it would not boot as usual. Recently, when underscore no longer blinks, he asked no longer to start as usual. It gives me a message saying that no boot device is discoverable and press ENTER to try again. I'll enter, but the same message arrives. I'll have to then turn off and on and keep pressing F1 until she FINALLY begins. With the changeover days, it takes more time and more time so that it can start and enter the Windows logo. I'm afraid that one day, it just won't start. I tried and tried looking for my problem but I don't know what it is. One popular response that came was my CMOS battery may go dead. So, I went and bought this past weekend. That didn't solve it. It still does start all the way. I also can't access the Menu ahead of time by pressing F8. I notice that rarely my computer will lead me to the Boot Manager to start upward on its own and from there I can start Windows normally and it starts without a problem. But I don't know how get you to this page manually. By pressing the bar space does not either. If I keep just press these keys, my computer makes a noise clicking / beep and nothing more. I was also wondering if a restore factory could get rid of this problem and make it again fresh. But again, one of the conditions for a factory restore is to disable and press F8 for Advanced Options and he won't be on the menu for me. So I'm stuck pretty well.

    Overall, my problem is that my computer initializes more normally. I have to keep turning market until he finally gives in which case it can take hours. I desperately need help. I hope that I was fairly accurate. My computer is no longer under warranty and I can't afford any premium or other security package. Please, it's my only computer, and that's all what I have to work with. Thank you.

    Hello

    A computer is supposed to make a single "beep" at startup.

    If that in fact more than one, this indicates a hardware problem.

    You will need to go to the Dell website and know what BIOS that you have in your computer model.

    Then check in these links 'beep' error codes know what hardware has problems.
