• Looking for a 'how-to' guide reinstall Windows Vista after upgrading motherboard

  Original title: the motherbard and cpu upgrade

  I want to install (I hope) soon new motherboard and CPU and I was looking for how to guide to reinstall vista after upgrade of the motherboard. Is it possible to get to the office without big hazzle and start reinstalling from there.

  In fact, I want to reinstall vista because I think it's much easier to try to record all programs and other settings.

  I tried to use already search funtion and it did not the asnwer I was looking for.

  I have oem (at least it says in the box) version of vista 32 bit.

  If the motherboard is exactly the same or almost exactly the same there should be no problem.  Otherwise you will want to completely reinstall Vista or even your system will contain drivers for the hardware is no longer present or missing drivers for the new hardware on the motherboard.

  "illuknisaa" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

  I know how to reinstall Vista (I did this couple times) but I don't know how Vista reacts when a new motherboard is installed. I just need to reactivate vista or even will I get to the office?

• How to remove vista so only 7 is running

  my child has just installed win 7 but has not removed from Windows vista, how to remove vista so only 7 is running?

  Original title: my child has just installed win 7 but has not removed from Windows vista, how to remove vista so only 7 is running?

  Hi Tarf,

  ·        Are the two copies of Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the partition, or on a different partition?

  ·        At the start of Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you receive two Windows startup options?

  ·        Are you able to boot to Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer?

  You can check the following information on your computer and post back the result to help us analyze the problem and remove a copy of Windows Vista.

  Start Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer and access the computer and check the partitions in Windows to make a note where Windows 7 and Windows Vista are installed and after return of information.

  If you are able to make a note of the partition on which Windows Vista is installed, and if you are confident about it, you can start on Windows 7 and check on which Windows Vista is installed; make a backup of data in Windows Vista and later you can remove folders of Windows files, users and the program or format the partition.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  Thank you and best regards,

• HP ProBook 450 G0: Problems of HP ProBook G0 450 icons after upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello

  2 days ago that I have upgraded to Windows 10 my HP ProBook 450 G0.

  Then I realized my graphics drivers are not working, I tried to update to the last registered in the section to download the drivers for my model.

  I can't use the HDMI & display internal. To use the HDMI, I have to restart my PC. After using HDMI, I can't use internal display. A lot of questions, because this driver...

  The cd Rom drive no longer works after upgrade to Windows 8.
  The drive is not displayed in the Solution Explorer, either. It is mentioned: error in the register.

  I can not change the right driver in Device Manager - probably it was deleted.
  Is the driver of the * MATHSITA DVD-RAM UJ880AS drive * for Windows 8 available?

  How can I make my cd Rom drive working again?
  How can I fix the error?

  Could guide you me in registry change (upper and lower filters) if necessary?

  Hey Buddy,

  What does it mean exactly when you say he won t work?
  You get an error message or only a black image? What model of laptop you have and that you use the Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade kit or a disc of Microsoft?

  After upgrading to windows 7, a window pops up when I turn on my computer that says: do not need software installed. Microsoft.NET Framework version 2.0. I tried to solve this problem by downloading several versions, but still showing already installed. There are several different versions and it is very confusing to me.

  Hi jjpoeschel

  I suggest you to download the removal tool of .net framework from the link below: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/8904493.aspx and remove .net Framework completely from your computer. Once uninstalled, restart the computer and download the software manually from the link below:

  When you try to install an update for .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5, you may receive Windows Update '0 x 643' error code or error code Windows install "1603".

• HP laptop purchased with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7 - laptop damaged

  Hello

  I bought a laptop HP with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7. Now, the laptop is damaged for the 2nd time. I would go for a locally assembled desktop computer with Intel, last configuration chipset.

  Can I use Win Vista / Win 7 license key on my desktop? What installer I use (Win Vista or Win 7)? and how do I get the installer?

  Thanks in advance

  Best regards

  Hello

  You cannot transfer the license of Vista.

  If Windows 7 Upgrade was not part of this upgrade offering free back then, you can transfer, but you need an operating system to be installed to upgrade.

  Read this information and you will understand what I mean:

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  See you soon.
