Hey riri,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community and we give the opportunity to help you.
According to the description, you have purchased a new laptop with Linux installed on it and I wanted to install Windows 7. To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following question:
You want to install Windows 7 in dual boot with Linux or clean install Windows 7?
In case you want to uninstall Linux and I want to just install Windows 7, then you can follow this article.

Original title: installation of Windows 8.
If you bought a laptop and you want to install Windows 8 Professional, can install you it directly or you must have a base like Windows 7 Stater license?
Hello
The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...
Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...
The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...
Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...

I bought my laptop in 2009 and have the paperwork. Was supposed to receive and be upgraded to winndsows 7 but never received this notification and have always Yes paperwork to prove it. It was just 3 months before windows 7 came out.
Sorry, the offer ended two years ago. The free upgrade was offered from the manufacturer of the computer.
I heard that if you buy Vista you get a copy of Windows 7 free
The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Manufacturers can choose to offer the option for a shorter period on the details of their PCs. offer, price, and delivery upgrade methods will vary. -

Adobe Flash Player prevents me to display videos because I don't want to share my personal computer storage.
Wholesale! constitutional question here! Can I use the Windows Media player this Adobe pirate intead? How, please? Or any other way to overcome this in-your-face PEST hijacker - Adobe Flash? * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *
Hello
Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.
Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).
You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.
The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *
Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )
There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:
I hope this helps.
* You have not stated your version of Windows, so it's Windows 7.

I bought a laptop with a windows xp pro, I have the serial number, but I don't have the installation disc. How can I know which version I need? SP3 has not worked... at the moment I am testing SP1
I bought a laptop with a windows xp pro, I have the serial number, but I don't have the installation disc. How can I know which version I need? SP3 has not worked... at the moment I am testing SP1
The serial number of the computer has nothing to do with the product key for Windows.
What happened when you tried to install Xp with sp3? If you do not have the original for the computer that you use to install Windows?
You can try to contact the manufacturer of the computer who may be able to provide the recovery disc. The disks are usually under $ 20.

I bought a laptop tailor-made and it turns out that there is a counterfeit Windows xp version. I want to upgrade to windows 7 instead of buy the version xp again. is this possible?
You will need to purchase a full commercial copy of Windows 7 and do a clean install. You cannot use a Windows XP hacked as an operating system that you are eligible for an upgrade. Make sure that there are Windows 7 drivers for the hardware of the laptop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

I bought a laptop with windows 7 family, and updated Edition upgraded to windows 7 Professional, how can I buy the Windows 7 Professional Backup CD?
You can't (unless you want to buy it separately at full price).
Windows 7 uses the "anytime upgrade" feature Because Windows uses image based install now, technically you were always professional, you just had not unlocked it again by typing in the code. If you were ever to re - install your computer, you'd be at the publishing house and just simply type the code again (Don lose it!)
If you wish, you can create your own system image backup. It's more than a Windows installation disc. It is an exact replica of your entire hard drive, including all your programs and settings that you have configured. It's like a photo snapshot in time. This gives you a CD, you can use to immediately restore your computer to the point in time where the image was taken - even all your installation and installs.
If you want to create it, here's how:
- Open Control Panel
- Choose system and security
- Choose the backup and restore
- Choose to create a system image on the left

I have windows 7 ultimate works correctly. I want to install windows 7 arc gamer edition. I m using the new copy to install from dvd, he is well until the installation of the updates but the installation finished, it displays error windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. not installing and it rolls supports everything. Please help me solve this problem
original title: windows 7 gamer editionDownload of software on these sites can be very risky, because the origin of the files are usually edited and its quite possible that they could have injected malicious code in it.
Windows 7 Gamer edition is not a developed Microsoft or affiliated with the product, what appears to be a customized image of Windows 7 that authors customized to remove or add Windows components, which can also be very problematic.
You use something that no one can help you consider he has probably been reverse engineered and probably injected by a malicious code like spyware (keyloggers, rootkits, worms, viruses). I suggest you stick to Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the most complete edition of Windows 7, anyone can have.

I get a message from DLL run when starting my laptop with Windows 7. One of the messages is: c:\users\xxx\AppData\Local\fgpise.dll. How can I get rid of these messages?
