How to make test of Windows 7 to Windows Xp home edition.

I have a 32-bit desktop computer that was running Windows Xp Home Edition, but my friend gave me a Windows 7 test drive and I installed it, but I don't like windows 7 and I can't get my computer back to Windows Xp. I want to know if someone or Microsoft can give me the download so I can install it. I already have the product key.

    Hello Linda,.

    One of the problems that you have is not knowing the best way to use this forum. If a proposed solution to a question does not work, you must reply to this message and tell the person why he does not. You answer by clicking on the button answer at the bottom of the post.

    Creating a new question for this issue, it is not the best way to get your issue is resolved.

    That said, if you read the instructions I have given in this thread...

    .. you will see that I said you don't need SP2, you can go directly to SP3. This may or may not solve your problem of download, but I do not think. If my suspicion is confirmed you can try to download on another PC or use another browser like chrome or firefox?

    If download you on another PC, you can save the service pack setup programs for, for example, a USB key, which you can then take the PC afflicted and run directly from the key.

    If you chose to go with my instructions, answer in this thread or in the thread above but stick with you answer in whichever you choose. Do not start a new question and do not switch between threads when you reply.

    If your computer was shipped with pre-installed XP it's called OEM.  If you want to re - install in this case you would need a copy of XP OEM.  A detail would not work with your OEM key.

    I was using an old computer and now I have a new and I want to give the former to my nephew, but I want to wipe the hard drive completely clean, in order to get rid of personal information. I don't have the CD of Windows XP OS came with the computer. After the failure of the hard drive, how can I recover 2007 Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3?

    Hi Bobby Collas,.
     
    You must have a copy of the installation CD without which you can not re - install the OS again.
     
    If it were an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) installation, you can restore the factory settings. Contact the manufacturer to do the same.

    I need help

    Hi aqm0207,

    How you try to install Windows XP Home Edition?

    You may receive an error message "Stop 0x0000007B" in the following scenarios:

    (a) a device driver that your computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.

    (b) a device driver that needs your computer startup controller is damaged.

    (c) It can also occur if the hard drive in the BIOS configuration is bad.

    You can check if the SATA hard drive is correctly configured in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) & can also update the BIOS. If you are not comfortable to do, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    You can also check this link:Advanced troubleshooting of errors "Stop 0x0000007B" in Windows XP

  • How can I make phone activating windows xp home

    I repaired and reinstalled windows XP Home Edition on my laptop. The installation is with my original CD of windows with key no. I get message for activation before newspaper. How can I do phone activation know what phone number.

    Hi Vinod,

    It is very rare that the system prevent access to such a degree that you can reach even the approved methods of activation. And a Normal relocation usually gives you the time to all features (30 days) before resorting to the reduced functionality because it has not been activated - and even reduced feature allows you to access enough to be able to activate. I don't know why you are having problems so here, but here's what's available on the activation of XP because as far as I know.

    Please see the final set of instructions in the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307890.

    The following provides additional information about the contact for the XP Activation options: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_prodact_master?ws=support#tab4.

    Do you know someone else with an operating system XP installed on their computers (or access to one through your place of work, a library, a kiosk of the computer, a school, a friend or neighbor or a parent, or anyone (even if by phone where you can ask them to perform the procedure on their XP system where they to get you at least the phone numbers you need) - but how you or they cross) the problem of access to enter the product key or special codes that provide people of activation instead of a product key to enter on the page where the phone number appears normally) is beyond me at the moment and you can need to get the information you need (codes and others) on their part so together you can't do and then ask for help in obtaining of XP to install correctly (as I believe that is not install properly for some reason, given the symptoms you describe).  Something is wrong (hardware, software, version of disc you are using (for example, upgrade or full install), problems with the disc, or a critical piece of the puzzle has not yet been revealed).

    Although not suitable for your situation, if you try the appropriate listed here number they will probably be able to help you connect or provide you the correct for your type of activation number: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/activation-centers.aspx.

    If all else fails and you are in the USA, try one of the following:

    (888) 571-2048-this is a very old post

    (866) 740-1256-this is the one I get when I do

    If it is in the United States, after return with your country and I'll see if I can find one that works for Vista which may or may not work for you, but they probably can help you or transfer you or give you the exact number.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
