How can I multiboot Windows XP and 7?

I have Windows XP and Windows 7 installed on partitions C and D from my drive, but when I boot from the BIOS, he sends me directly to xp without letting me choose my OS. I use 7 as my main operating system, so if someone can tell me what is the problem and a possible answer I would gladly appreciate it.  My PC is a Compaq Presario CQ5320F desktop PC

Install EasyBC and use it to 'Add' Windows 7 in the start menu.

  • How can I uninstall windows 8 and install windows 7 on an Inspiron 17R SE 7720

    I bought my Inspiron 17R SE with Windows 8 installed in December 2012. I tried my best to become familiar with Windows 8, but most of the time I do love. I tried to use the classic interface so it looked like Windows 7 but I still don't like it.  It seems to me that Windows 8 be not really suitable for the use of the laptop.

    I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install my own copy of Windows 7 Pro, but I do not know if it will install on a laptop at the origin of installation for Windows 8.  I asked Technical Support on this issue, but I was told that Dell would not support this so they couldn't help me.

    Can anyone here help me with detailed instructions on how to achieve what I want... I read that the needs of settings in the Bios to be changed before I start but do not know what to do.

    Thank you

    Uninstall windows 7 Home premium

    How to uninstall windows 7 Home premium package and re install windows vista Home premium SP1

    Given what you have...

    Get/use your Windows Vista Home Premium media (and product key) to start to go and destroy (create new partitions and format) everything that you installed and install again.

    Once you have Windows Vista Home Premium installed, get SP1 and SP2 (in order) to get Vista to update Service Pack, then get all the post-SP2 hotfixes/updates to update installed.

    You also need to locate, download, and install all the drivers for hardware devices,-either by the manufacturer of the computer as a whole (if it's a Dell, Lenovo, Gateway, HP, etc.) or by each manufacturer of components support pages (Intel, Realtek, various manufacturers of motherboard, AMD/ATI, nVidia, Broadcom, etc..)

    You can then install all other applications (office suites, photo-editing suites, video editing suites, Internet plugins, alternative browsers, Internet plugins, etc) and activate the paid applications using the appropriate series/product numbers.

    At this point, you can restore all your backups (documents, music, photos, emails, contacts, databases, spreadsheets, presentations, Favorites/internet Favorites, etc.) on the computer.

It is said that MS W8 malware is quite effective, but is it?

    Is there step by step procedures to help with this?

    Hello

    You will need to uninstall Norton... You'd better go to their website for their removal tool. Simply uninstalling was reported to leave artifacts that still block Windows Defender.

    In fact, Norton can offer better protection, but of how much better, you could try a search for comments and/or a comparison... Norton will probably slow down your machine more than the Defender, but I have not tried lately to say how much.

    Most likely the Office 365 is a trial provided by the manufacturer of the computer for which you will have to pay for eventually... just a guess but.

    You will need to reformat your computer and reinstall XP.

    But you don't want to do what XP drops support next month, which means that you will be completely vulnerable to hacking and malware. Stay on Windows 7.
