• Windows 8 people's Republic of CHINA (unilingual OEM version in simplified Chinese) can be upgraded to Windows 8 Pro * full * English?

  I bought a Dell XPS One 2710 in China that came pre-installed with Windows 8 RPC. It seems that it is a unique language locked in simplified Chinese version.

  The standard procedure to add another language changes only partially certain interfaces of applications in English, but the operating system is always in Chinese.

  I think so

  1 - is the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with Windows 8 Pro Pack as described here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

  2 - or buy a Windows 8 Pro System Builder and just reinstall

  Solution 1 is my favorite option, I want to keep the existing configuration and the Dell applications.

  Does anyone have experience making 1 or 2?

  Thank you.

  For all the foreigners living in China who want to have Windows 8 English I highly recommend to do as described below. It will add the cost of a license of Windows 8 Pro Pack, but will save you hours of waiting, of discussions, resettlement and uncertainty.

  Windows 8 CPP that comes pre-installed on all computers OEM in China is locked with simplified Chinese only to the language of the OS.

  You can buy Windows 8 Pro Pack, which upgrades the CPP of 8 Windows preinstalled on your new computer to a full-blown Windows 8 Pro with Media Center

  Pack Windows 8 Pro can be purchased online from China, and you can pay with Paypal

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/terms-conditions-feature-packs

  Windows 8 Pro has all the features to download and add language packs.

  Start the upgrade using the following screenshots

  You will need an address in China and turn off your VPN before you start the upgrade.

  There is only one choice of product to buy the Windows 8 Pro Pack.

  The update took a few hours of downloading so start at night and sleep at home.

  After the upgrade you have Windows 8 Pro with Media Center always configured with Chinese as their main language.

  You need then download and install the English language according to these screenshots pack

  The US English language pack is 154 MB and may take a few hours to download as well.

  Restart, then return to the screen of language making English as your primary language, as described in these screenshots

  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5853-display-language-change-Windows-8-a.html

  Reboot again, and voila!

  PS: after upgrading your Windows 8 Pro is activated automatically with the new product ID, but you haven't lost all common applications of OEM and warranty (Dell in my case).

  You always connect to the app store Windows of China and are able to install apps * except * those made specifically by the OEM. In my case, there are only a few and I can't install Renren for Dell for example, but there is also another version not OEM in the app store.

  This limitation is explicitly mentioned in the notes here, and I confirm.

  OEM applications that I have installed upgrading are still there and working, then you might want to install everything before the upgrade.

  These packages contain a 32 and 64 bit version of the operating system.

  The license may also be transferred to another PC who is eligible for an upgrade, unlike an OEM license.

  The problem is having XP or Vista installed on the PC to use the disk.

  Windows 8 is not production (finished; released as final product, etc.) yet.

  As far as Windows 7 is concerned, you must manually (do not rely on any software, including any made by Microsoft) check your current hardware and installed software are compatible with Windows 7.  follow these steps by making a list (model of the computer, each software package you have installed, the hardware you connect to the computer such as printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and check the manufacturer's web page to see if they support this product at this level of version in Windows 7.  Chances are on your side, because it is a Vista machine.

  Youd

  would then buy a version of Windows 7, you can use to pass any specific edition of Vista you have and that you upgrade.  It's quite simple initially, just insert the DVD and follow the directions.  You will need to download and install the most recent hardware drivers for each component material (many that you can go to HP for via your model computer support web page, but your devices will be elsewhere...)

• How can I go back to the Home Basic edition of ultimate?

  Hi, I want to downgrade from vista ultimate return to Vista Home Basic. but I do not have my old drive. How can I do this please

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s of the recovery Partition.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

• How can I disable the Windows XP Pro wifi connection?

  is there a port can I close? I am a novice so it. and I had annother LAN connection.in the last hour. by itself.

How can I turn off the wireless? on Windows XP Pro. This tenth time im asking this question! Tell me there is at least someone other than my abuser! who knows the answer I needTHANKS * address email is removed from the privacy *

  Hello

  There are a number of ways...

  1. assuming that it is a laptop, there will be a physical to turn off wireless switch, or a depression function key. I can't say what function key, it will be, it varies from laptop to laptop, but the image on the key must be a gift, if the image is not obvious to you then check your manual. Use it with the "Fn" key as a "toggle switch" to turn on wireless power.

  2. go in network connections configuration panel. Right click on your wireless network connection, and then click on disable.

  Your PC is not necessarily to be attacked. It could just be set to automatically connect to networks unsecured wireless. There are a lot of unsecured wireless networks on, leastways in my neighborhood there. If your PC takes up and connects to one, it is not an attack in itself, but it could make your PC open to attack.

  Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.
