  You can use this Recovery Partition to reinstall Vista to his new condition with the right edition of Vista.

  This recovery partition was photographed on your hard drive by HP during the manufacturing of the factory.

  You press F11 on startup to start the process of recovering back to factory settings.

  If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.

  If HP's Vista recovery disks, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

• Can I use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3 users) to install Windows 7 Edition home premium 64 on a desktop computer running the OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium 32?

  My desktop system is an Acer E700 Intel Quad Core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 1 Gig video running Vista Home Premium OEM 32 version. I plan to upgrade the hard disk of 1 tetrabyte before upgrading the OS.  If so, how should I do this?  I have to restore the backup to disk to the new disk before update for Window 7 64?

  My second office is already running Vista Home Premium 64 so this upgrade using the family must be right before correct?  Or do I need to backup to the subject programs before moving to Win7 64?

  Thanks in advance.

  You will need to do a reformat to perform installation and you reinstall the applications.  There has never been a way to upgrade from x 86 to x 64.  You will need to do is use your x 64 media to install Windows 7 on new hard drive, use your product key on the certificate of authenticity located on the side of the Acer desktop computer.  You will always be the OEM license terms, as you install the same Windows SKU.  Product keys are interchangeable between x 86 and x 64, but you will probably need to call to activate Windows after installation - usually the Internet activation does not work on current versions of Windows using the seller great modes of action.

  If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.

  If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.

  If still no, then try using ONE OPTION above to run the command sfc/scannow at the start

  If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.

  If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the section THREE OPTION to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

  Refresh your PC goes like this:

  • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
  • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
  • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
  • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
  • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset.

• How can I make my computer run more efficiently?

  Hello

  Okay, so I asked recently how I could make my computer faster. I have a Compaq Presario SR1601NX with HP ha17 monitor. It runs Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3. I installed CCleaner and Defraggler on my computer. I use CCleaner at least twice a week, especially after using the internet. I also run Defraggler at least twice a month. In addition, I have Microsoft Security Essentials, that I keep up to date, as I do with Windows Firewall, automatic updates and Virus protection. I went through and remove all programs that I don't use, and I run chkdsk, find no problem. After you run CCleaner and Defraggler, my computer seems a bit faster. However, after some time, it is once more quite slow. Anyone know anything else I can do to make my computer run faster and more efficiently. I don't want to clutter up my machine with random programs. I'm also looking for things I can do for free. I prefer to buy a new computer than to invest money in my only current. It is just better to buy a new one? If so, what kind of computer should I get in? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

  CCleaner is a program to eliminate the stuff that you don't need, and so
  save you disk space; It really doesn't do anything to improve
  performance. Maybe defragment the hard drive can speed things up
  some, but how effective is it is depends on how you use your computer.

  With very few exceptions, all the programs that are designed to speed up your
  computer is nothing but snake oil powder and are likely to be a problem.
  I recommend that avoid you them like the plague.

  Without a lot more details, it is very difficult to know what is causing your
  problem, but maybe you run modern software and your former
  Material XP - era is really too slow for her.
  With Windows XP support this ending coming April, purchase a new
  computer and run the latest version of Windows (Windows 8)
  probably makes the most sense. It will give you a modern material and a
  supported Windows version.
