  Windows XP genuine advantage is provided for the computer you bought in 2002, you can not go to install on another computer.

  If you need run Windows XP, I suggest that you upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, and then download and install free Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP mode.

  Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click the option to purchase a key. Wait while loading of the Express Upgrade page, click on the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade to buy it.

  Click Next, fill in your details (it is important that you do this because the product key will be sent to you as a backup in case you need to reinstall) enter your credit card information, click next to begin the upgrade, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement , click upgrade, wait while the software updates, (it may take 10 minutes or more, depending on the case, updates are required), your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a windows will pop up by notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional, your files, programs and settings stored, proceed to activate Windows 7 Professional.

  Run in Windows XP Mode requires:

• How to get windows xp re - install for installing the flash drive to the computer error portable "windows\system32\config\system".

  My Acer Aspire One has error "windows\system32\config\system" How can I get a copy of windows xp original usb? When I bought the

  computer laptop windows xp made & paid for. Product key is on the back. Can I download & reinstall using a flash drive?

  C:\Windows\system32\config\system is one of the files that make up the system registry.  Backups of the system registry files are kept in the 'C:\System Volume Information' folder under the system restore program.  Probably all you need to do is copy of registry backups in the Windows\system32\config folder.  A reinstall of windows may not be necessary.

  To do this is to start your machine from a free "Live Linux" thumb drive.  You can create a startup disk Ubuntu here:
     <>http://www.Ubuntu.com/download/Ubuntu/download >

  Follow the instructions of "Try me" and you should be able to copy backups of registry in place.  Windows has "Hidden doubling" the System Volume Information folder, but Linux doesn't seem to have any problems with it.  After starting from the Thumb Drive Linux, follow the instructions in the following article from part 2, step 6, using the graphical interface of Linux to copy files (right click copy, make a right click Paste) instead of the lines of command in the article.  With a little patience, you can restore the registry from a backup, and be back in operation

• How to update Windows after re-installing Vista 32 bit.

  I reinstalled Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my Dell E521 and 105 recommended updates to consider.  Should I install all and hope for the best, or is there a better way to ensure that only the most recent updates are included?  Tips appreciated.

  Thank you

  Terry

  You have need of all updates and service packs in the order.  Windows Update allows you to identify the first list and install all of them.  Then run it again before appear no more.  And then install SP1 if it did not appear as an update, then repeat the process.  Then install SP2 and repeat the process.  You will be so up-to-date.  You can't just install new updates - you need in such order as presented by Windows Update.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Helps to remove Windows Vista and install Windows 8

  I recently bought Windows 8 after an online test (aka Upgrade Assistant) from my computer that says it would work. However, when insert the disc of Windows 8, it is said showed an alert/warning that it may work for Windows 7 but can not for Windows Vista or XP. The salesman at Staples said it would work (so the part of why I bought it), but it might remove applications and software I had installed, take it back to factory settings. I'm fine with that, I don't mind re - install Office and my other software. I would be very happy if someone could tell me how to get Windows 8 to install and remove Vista. Here are my computer record compared to Windows 8 requirements:

  Processor - Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Quad CPU 2.4 GHz

  RAM: 4 GB

  Hard drive: 32 Bit OS, 350GB free 451GB

  Graphics card: DirectX 10, ATI Radeon HD 3450, screen resolution 1024 X 768.

  Your help is greatly appreciated, TIA!

• If I format my drive and install linux, how do I install and activate my windows?

  * Original title: reinstalling Windows 7

  Hello

  I bought a laptop recently, with a pre installed, activated windows 7. I'll be using linux for some time and goes back to Windows. If I format my drive and install linux, how do I install and activate my windows? And where can I get the source? In my laptop there is no serial number sticker. Its a laptop Lenovo b50-80.

  Please do not suggest dual os.

  Here's what I suggest strongly that do you before installing Linux, create a system image backup.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

  When you install Linux, then decide to go back to Windows 7 sometime in the future, you can just restore the image of the system.
