How to remove 2002 Windows XP Pro to reinstall Vista Business on 2008 Lenova and save my programs.

A person 'worked' on my Lenova Thinkcentre 2008 & uninstalled my Windows Vista desktop, then installed a XP Pro 2002 version. I didn't ask to do this!  I had installed Office 2010 at the same time.  The old XP creates problems with my system, to update Internet Explorer for DVD readers does not.  They try to load, then stop execution.  How can I get a copy of my Vista, backup my existing programs and change it back?  I have the sticker of the product with the product key #, but not the installation disc.

Hello

If you want to get the Windows Vista CD/DVD copy, I suggest that get you in touch with the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)

  • HP. Want to 700-239: how to move to Windows 10 Pro

    I have two PCs. My office has windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 7 Pro Laptop. It only allowed me to upgrade Windows 10 and not Windows 10 Pro. Technically, I'm downgrading my OS. How to move to Windows 10 Pro? I think it's the right upgrade

    Thank you

    Microsoft detects which version of Windows is installed, and will install the correct version.  If there Core remove the pulp is installed, it is the same for the Pro version.

    I looked at the specs of your CV. Want 700-239, and it indicates that the kernel has been installed not Pro.

  • Satellite A100 - how to remove the Memory Stick Pro DUO card slot

    Hey,.

    I really need help with how to remove my Memory Stick Pro DUO card slot.

    The laptop read the stick very well and I can see all the files into it but I can't seem to get out. I tried to push a little to get out, but it does not work and it's also pretty far in so I can't get out.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello

    To my knowledge there is no extra help for Memory Stick Pro DUO removing as on the PCMCIA port.
    You should try to get him out. If you n t manage to pull him out with you fingers, you can use a pair of tweezers.
    But be careful.

  • How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    Hello

    It should connect as much as the other computers with their car are on the account users are properly configured, security passwords are defined and firewall do not block.

    If the system is only yours and there is no need of local network security, enable the guest account on all computers, give them all the permissions and there will be less to worry about connection mapped, but local drive without security.

    PS Ce preceding is based on cable connections. If the connections are wireless, it's another story.

    Due to the maturity of the wireless adapter and their support through the OS, automatic connection could not occur.

    Wireless is great, but most of us try to sneak out of it the uses it was not designed for.

    I need to know how to remove the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded tonight and my computer does not have this edit bar little to work with, so I can download the reader good Adobe and my internet was screwed up, since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I want just the old version of this back because I can't download the Adobe stuff which is necessary to protect my computer against hackers apparently not. It would have been nice to know he had a problem with the new update of Firefox BEFORE I downloaded it. I have Vista, which is usually a problem with Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run a lot of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.

    1 re-installing/repairing software will not fix hardware issues.

    2. the operating system upgrade is not the way to solve computer problems that can be carried forward.

    3 1. If you use Norton, you should disable Norton inviolable Protection before using System Restore.

  • HP Envy 23: How can I install Windows 7 Pro Windows 8.1 pre-installed slim like 23?

    Hello... I HATE 8.1... but I saw your list of wonderful driver for your laptop and I was wondering if it is similar to a HP desktop computer when removing windows 8.1.   I already asked HP for help, but they, unfortunately, are "unable" to tell me that I can even load Windows 7 23 want.  People very nice, but very limited information.

    I managed to find 2 new copies of Windows 7 Pro, more a have on hand software... obviously, until Windows has the world dislikes phone applications on a computer, we need backup copies!

    My brand new mess is a HP Envy 23 I just bought last Sunday and hates carefully.

    I got the USB backup, just in case, but to wipe the drive (if I can) and change the boot order (if I have will be tolerated), and of course, eliminating all additional platforms I could find if this is possible)... What do I need to save the facility from 8.1 to make bits andpieces and love its color and whatever work?

    And what on Earth is UEFI?

    Thanks in advance... I know that this forum is a labor of love.

    Six days in a 30 days return... Help!

    Knowing the complete model of the computer help, HP Envy 23-xxxxxx

    Try to downgrade your system would probably void your warranty and a challenge trying to find drivers that would work with Windows 7, a real headache.

    If you want to go this route, you need to disable secure boot and enable legacy in order to change the boot order.

    It may be easier to keep what you have and make it Windows 8 look like Windows 7
