  Hello. I HOPE I HAVE POSTED THIS QUESTION IN THE RIGHT CATEGORY - I CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT RIGHT... -, I am bad & a 'Newbie'.

  (Q) my ext hdd is in - the red zone in 'Computer' in the lower right corner, when I click on it...

  (1) this is what worry?        (2) how do I get it out of the 'red zone '?                  It is actually said "Local disk (e :)) 13.5 GB free of 149 GB" (which includes a "System Image" - if I remember correctly). To do this, "incramental' back-up, I think...

  Thank you, Chris.

  We use the term "housekeeping."  It's when you wipe the hard drive

  Formatting seems ok, but actually considered clearing, repartition the drive.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting

  I suggest you do a normal backup and then differential periodically.  This avoids that the difference between the initial backup and changes made to the files.  If you are happy with the changes, do the differential backup.  When you make other changes and that you do not have the old files, it is safe to do a new differential backup and delete the previous.  This saves disk space.

  Description of full, incremental, and differential backups

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/136621/en-us

  You can save the backup on DVD files and store them still freeing up hard drive space.  In addition, it is recommended to store them in your home disaster (earthquake, fire, etc.).  Ex: Safe, best friend or the relative's House.

• How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

  Original title: window 7

  Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

  http://www.theeldergeek.com/disk_management.htm

  In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.

  How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM? I tried many ways must my computer tells me I have to stop all programs that I have running. play help as soon as possible!

  Some PC contains a hidden hard disk restore partition. If yours is one of them, this is how you return your PC to its original state.

  What is the brand and model of your PC?

  Yet, this is a pretty drastic step. There is more easy and faster to improve performance. If you do not want to give it a shot, let us know. And also tell us the specifications of your PC, type of XP, SP, etc.

  Also, you might find follows her beneficial:

  Here are the usual causes of slow:

  1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

  http://Web.archive.org/Web/20080610163247/http :// www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  2. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

  3. too much of certain types of programs still running in background - with or without your consent. (Then again, a lot of programs running in the background of the consequences trivial.)

  To determine each program and process, you are running, use the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager and click the processes tab. You should be able to sort by CPU usage or memory usage for a good ideas that are resource/memory hogs. You must write the names of all the processes for future detective work (or take a snapshot and print it).

  Use these sites to determine what these programs are, and learn how configure them to not always run when starting:

  http://www.PACS-portal.co.UK/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS
  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
  http://www.AnswersThatWork.com/Tasklist_pages/Tasklist.htm

  Sometimes, it is recommended to use msconfig to configure programs to run at startup. A better, more thorough program is Autoruns:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  But before that, you must use the settings preference of the program in question. Otherwise, for some programs, they will return to the list of startup anyway!

  If you do not want to use msconfig, it can be accessed in this way:

  Start | Run | Type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Enter (or OK)

  4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

  The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

  http://www.dougknox.com/XP/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

  5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

• How to remove the hard drive

  My computer is about to crash with Vista and its features!  I can't put an administrator password, because I do not have an administrator.  When I try to add the Admin, I can't because I'm not an administrator!   Now since under the new additions to vista, I need an administrator to do anything, I can not update, modify delete problems or do anything.  I need to wipe the hard drive to windows 7 if possible.  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You can reinstall Vista, back to new condition (how your computer was when you bought it), and then upgrade to Windows 7 (which will save you money)

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista:

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, 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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Before upgrade you to Windows 7, you should read this:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• How to clean the hard drive of the computer

  I need to know how to erase my hard drive to get rid of a virus

  Hello Nguyen,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  I understand you want to wipe your hard drive to remove any infection by the virus from your computer.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1. When you say 'I need to wipe my hard drive to get rid of the virus', do you mean you want to remove the virus from your computer or to completely erase your hard drive by erasing all the data on it?
  2. You want to clean install a new copy of Windows on your computer after removing all your data from the hard drive?

  If you do not want to delete all your data and do not want to clean your computer of viruses, you can scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  Download and run Microsoft security scanner from the link below.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  However, if you want to completely clean your computer, just remove the hard drive and pure, install a fresh copy of Windows on your hard drive, you can read the article below to do so.

  How to perform a new installation of Windows?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/clean-install

  Important note: Perform a clean installation will mean that all your data currently on your hard disk will be permanently lost. It is strongly recommended to have all your important data saved enough on any driver external before performing one of the suggestions above.

  Hope this information is useful. Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.
