Help upgrading from a current PC to video editing standards?

My current office is a matter of school Lenovo ThinkCentre M80 with the following specifications:

  • Intel (r) Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20 GHz
  • 4.00 GB RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce 310
  • 1 x 300 GB hard drive
  • Windows 7 Premium 32-bit

I don't have a ton of money, but I recently had subsequently CS6 as a gift and hope to update my existing computer. I'll use this for HD video editing and photo DSLR editing. I thought to add/change:

  • GeForce GTX 470
  • 16 GB of total RAM
  • Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro
  • 1-2 to 7200 to 10000 RPM

This will cut it? Any suggestions for a machine entry of video editing based on a budget? Should I just started from scratch? Thank you.

  • Help in obtaining loans for a simple video editing MBP

    I am trying to put things in place on a slightly older Macbook Pro.

    Here is my system configurations:

    OS X Version of El Capitan 10.11.5

    The MacBook Pro mid-2010

    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Memory 4 GB 1067 < Hz DDR3

    NVIDIA GeForce 320 M 256 MB graphics card

    I learned that my GPU's massively underpowered, i.e. 256 MB of VRAM is much too small.

    Through my research, I also determined that the GPU can be replaced, because I think it is welded in to the motherboard.

    In addition, my hard drive is probably not good either, quite right? Core 2 duo of is not as good as the new i7. So what are my options?

    I used to be able to run at least iMovie and slap some clips together for short videos, even add music. I lost iMovie during the upgrade to Yosemite and am trying to figure out if it's worth trying again (for $15). Before that I tried Davinci resolve 12.5 (which is more than my computer can manipulate wayyy), and then I even tried the GoPro simple studio software. Turns out that GoPro software is not that simple if you're not using images of the GoPro and my computer was struggling to convert, rendering, see even the files. And I don't think I'd be able to make the colors in GoPro calibration software, so I'm a little more than. I don't think I need all the features of Final Cut Pro, as I'm looking to throw together a few vacation pictures and some pictures again, also a timelapse here and there in the video, etc.

    I want to mention the GoPro software comes to losing me a lot of cred in this question, but this is where I am. I don't want to really go out and start building a computer for video editing (although it seems I could do relatively cheap ~ $ 600)

    Thoughts? Suggestions? What would you do if you could do it again?

    In addition, the camera that I mainly record the images and still images is a Panasonic G6

    Thanks for any help!

    What about iMovie.  .  .  have you tried looking in your AppStore account to see if it is still available as a free download?

    It is likely that you will not be able to install FCP X directly from the app store on your computer, probably, he does not meet the minimum specs for the latest version.

    However, you can download on a Mac more modern and copy it to all but you really need a more powerful Mac.

    You can download a free 30-day trial version to see if it will work in terms of: -.

    Hi jlruiz2k. It is not recommended to do given that two routers have different firmware so different compatilbility with parameters. What you can do, it's just copy all of your settings tab and even entry once you're on the same tab in the new configuration of the router page.

  • Upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    When I try to upgrade to windows Vista my freze computer when you complete the last upgrade operation. Then I have no key board, no mouse, and I have to close it manually. When I reboot it is reinstalled windows XP. I get no error message. What can be the problem?

    On the basis that report (thanks for that, even if it's in French -, and mine is pretty rusty :)), I recommend that you do the following things:
    First, download the latest drivers (both in Vista and XP versions) for your motherboard (chipset and onboard devices), a webcam and a printer; also download the latest versions of Intellitype and Intellipoint, and APC UPS software.  I suggest you all burn to a CD.
    Uninstall programs:
    -Intellitype
    -Intellipoint
    -Logitech Desktop Messenger
    APC - battery backup
    -Consumables HP shop
    Uninstall the drivers:
    Camera - Logitech
    Logitech - microphone
    Print drivers - HP (uninstall the Device Manager, delete the printer from the Printers folder and remove the driver source file (usually located in C:\HP_printername)
    -Audio SoundMax
    Disconnect devices:
    Logitech - camera (and microphone, if it is a separate issue.)
    HP printer-

    Update all other system drivers (motherboard chipset).

    Reboot the system and disable integrated sound in BIOS card.

    Start Windows and try to re-run the upgrade.

    I know that the Upgrade Advisor is a not reports something like a show-stopper; However, I am of the school of thought that anything that can be even a slight problem should be corrected or deactivated for best results.

    HTH, and please post back with the results

  • Upgrade from previous version of XP Win7

    I am trying to upgrade one of my PC to Win7 but I get an error code indicating that it is impossible to move from the current operating system. Any ideas?

    There is no direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. Direct upgrade is available only upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 (function editions). For Windows XP, you need to clean install and I suggest you take a look at:

  • Unable to upgrade from Win98 to XP

    When one of my friends gave me an office with no hard drive, Windows XP upgrade CD and a hard drive that is not installed in the office.

    I installed the HARD drive in the desktop and install the new Windows 98 installation, it worked very well. When I tried to upgrade to Windows XP, it won't Cross and has a lot of compatibility problems. I installed the ASUS chipset and all the other drivers from the ASUS site before moving to XP.  He always stubborn won't let me update.

    I am unable to get the upgrade, and yet I am frustrating.  I wonder how can I "force" the HARD drive to accept the new update of Windows XP? Clones old HDD to new HARD drive work?

    The office is probably not OEM. It seems to me it's built pc. The motherboard is ASUS P4V8X-MX.  I kinda wish I could find commercial full Windows XP for under $ 20. :/

I bought to download the rom update the Microsoft store and downloaded, but when I try to start the upgrade I have a stateing message that it is impossible to create or save new files in the folder where it was downloaded. I checked the security permissions in the file and made sure that no programs are 'read only', but it won't always go beyond this point!

    Hello

    What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
    Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
    Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
    Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

    If you purchased Windows from the Microsoft Store, you can log on to your account and select the correct level of bit for download, and download the ISO file.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade will allow an upgrade from Vista Home Premium x 64 to Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

    I bought a HP laptop with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 64 in April 08.  If I buy a Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade, SKU: GLC-00184, I'll be able to upgrade to windows 7 Home Premium x 64 or Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

    The http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7?T1=tab02 table seems to indicate that would be the case.  On the other hand, it does not seem logical that we could move from Vista Ultimate or vVsta HP to Win7 Ultimate for the same price.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Yes, you can make a place in Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate.

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Code GFC symbolizes the product depending on the location in most cases and in some cases, this has to do with the versions.

    The GFC-00019 is a commercial container 32 and 64-bit disk operating system version. TheGFC-00564 is a 32 bit OEM version. A commercial version can be installed on any computer. But always alone at the same time. But if you install on a computer (and then he got damaged without repair possible) and then I bought another you can install it on the new computer.

    An OEM copy can only be installed on computers. If this computer got far beyond repair that you can not use it again as with the retail version. You can install the OEM as many times as you like on the original computer.
