How can I remove Linux and install Windows XP?

XP installation

How can I install xp on my laptop with xp disc? I gave her family having installed Melissa on it and came back and need xp back on it. I have the key for xp of origin. I prefer not to pay for it again. Thank you.

It is possible that the recovery partition "can" still be fuctional if Linux has not deleted it. Check the manual of the owner on how to start and start (press key during the initial boot process) the process of recovery. If this does not work then contact the manufacturing of the laptop and see if they can still provide you with recovery media.

  • How can I remove linux and reinstall windows 8.1?

    Hello. I recently installed a distribution linux (OS elementary, Luna) on my HP Pavilion g6. My pc is preinstalled with Windows 8. I decided to evaluate linux and installed on my computer. I was not paying attention when installing and apparently replaced Windows 8. My question is, how do I get it back? I am a person without any repair records and don't have anyway make one (since I am just a computer nerd aged 15 years). I heard that HP computers have a bios recovery console, but if that's true how to reach it?

    Info by the PC.

    Model: Pavilion g6

    Storage: 683.5 GB

    RAM: 5.3 GB

    Processor: AMD A8 - 4500 M APU with graphics HD Radeon (TM) x 4

    Graphics card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Devicd 9903

    Boot from the recovery of Windows 8 media, if you

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

    For this reason, you will not be able to use the Windows 8 disc retail to activate the license incorporated, it does not recognize. That's why you need HP recovery media, otherwise you will end up having to buy a new license.

    I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?

    original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

    If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:

    1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

    2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.

    3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

  • Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?

    Original title: upgrade Windows 10

    I have a Dell Studio 1749 under Windows 7 Home Premium.   I postponed the upgrade of Windows 10 to the present day.  The update file appears in the control panel Windows Update Panel, but when I click start it restarts Windows 7 simply and tells me that the new updates have been installed but it was Windows 7 updates since yesterday.

    Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?    Or maybe another solution?

    Thank you.

    Review:

    Retry the upgrade manually:

    Option 1:

    Download the media creation tool

    Click with the right button on the MediaCreationTool.exe file and then click on run as administrator.

    Note: How to check if you are downloaded or installed the update Windows 10 November

    How to create an ISO or USB drive.

    Select upgrade this PC now and then click Next

    Option 2:

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
  • How can I remove Blinx drive of Windows Vista?

    HOW CAN I REMOVE BLINX PLAYER OF WINDOWS VISTA?

    Hi Briano,

    To my knowledge, it is a program and not a malicious software - so the following should do the trick (no problems of malware as far as I can tell - but if the following does not work, only after back with how you know there's always and we'll see what we can do.)

    What I've read, the process should be as remove any program http://www.ehow.com/how_7347305_remove-blinkx.html; However, just to be safe, we will use a method that tends to work better in almost all cases.   Download and install Revo: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html (the free version) and use it in advanced mode to uninstall and completely remove Blinx.  Once completed, restart and Olivier Bonnet should be gone for good.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How can I remove SP3 and reinstall Service Pack 2?

    Note - your product support Windows XP * purposes * when you remove Service Pack 3.  You will be unable to obtain a new security - that will be available and published every month (probably) to those with Service Pack 3 until April 2014.
     
    Can you be more specific with the manufacturer of software/product?  Find it me hard to believe that any manufacturer of software of consequence would limit their product to a certain service pack (although I saw him - he's still amazes me.)  I would like to go into it.

  • Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP? I have

    I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer.  All new computers come with Windows 7.  Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)?   I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back.  AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it.  I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years.   I would like to use XP on a new computer!   I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer.  Thank you very much!

    Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.

    If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.

    Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.
