How to connenct laptop from Vista to Windows XP PC to share internet?
My wife recently bought a new laptop Toshiba A100 with Vista installed.
My PC, connected to AOL Broadband uses XP as an operating system. I'm trying to set up a wireless link. AOL, said that XP and Vista are not compatible, and to put in place a link I have to buy and to install Vista on my PC or install XP on the laptop.
Is this correct? I don't want to install Vista on my PC as it is quite old and probably doesn't have the ability to run Vista - someone has any suggestions how I can solve this problem without changing the operating system?
If I need to change the operating system, I prefer to put XP on the laptop.
Y at - there a site where I can download this free of charge now that it has been superceeded.
OMG. You must not give a s * t on what they say. Of course, it is possible to set up a network or a direct link between XP and Vista. I even made myself... Do not worry!

Can I use the same drive to upgrade my computer laptop version of Vista to Windows 7? They will work or do I need to download again?
Thanks for any info

First of all, note that you can use an upgrade, you cannot make a
update from XP to Windows 7. You'll have to do a cleaning
installation.Secondly, I do not understand why you bought both the download and the
disks. It would appear that you need one. Can you elaborate?Can I use the same drive to upgrade my computer laptop version of Vista to Windows 7? They will work or do I need to download again?
You need a copy of Windows 7 for each machine. You cannot use the
copy the same for both machines. But if you bought two copies, you can use
one of them for each machine.

My Hp Pavilion Elite M9340F desktop PC was the best computer I've ever owned five computers desktop and portable three. Not only use the personal media drive Bay and two bays of lightscribe disc, I upgraded the video card and the power supply because I run also three external hard drives more (which actually a total of six hard drives run continuously). I want to spend all or just possibly the main hard drive and Windows 7 Home Premium personal multimedia hard disk. Is it better to buy the disc or download the software? In addition, how is it difficult to make the switch? Even with good backups, I have heard horror stories of losing part or all of the files or have things so scrambled that it is almost impossible to find what you are looking for. ANY help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mr. w. Dillon * address email is removed from the privacy *.
Hello
It's always a good idea to have a paper copy of a disc (for resettlement and repairs).
And Yes, backup all your data as 'can' happen during an upgrade that is supposed to be easy.
This is a very good guide for what you want to do:
Make sure you go from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit to be able to do an upgrade.

And follow these steps first:
Go to the HP website and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office
A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.
That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.
I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).
How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?
Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?
Thank you!
You're the one who knows if you installed Office.
Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.
If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.
A clean installation will wipe everything.
You cannot transfer programs.
It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.
If you do not have the desktop drive:
