How to upgrade XP Home SP3 to any version of XP Pro.

• Upgrade XP Home Service Pack 3 (OEM) for XP Pro Service Pack 3 (full ed., teaching license)

  I've been reading and research on the Microsoft forums and support sites, and nobody has provided definitive guidance on how to upgrade XP Home to XP Pro on-site (both editions are SP-3). I have too setups/configurations and software to deal with the headaches of manually resettlement at the moment. I intend to t perform a upgrade in-place to Vista at a later date. However, the problem I have both of these solutions is that I don't see an 'Upgrade' option when I boot from XP Pro Service Pack 3 installation disk. I only repair and installation (clean) options. (I tried both OEM and educational versions licensed full disk to install XP Pro SP3.) Both are legal copies).

  While many people have suggested that there is little difference between Home and Pro of XP versions (with the exception of the connectivity of remote and networking Assistance or domain), there is a huge difference in the types of programs that will run the home edition! Experts seem to overlook the fact that a lot of business applications and business, including some of Microsoft applications, do not work on the publishing of Windows! Therefore, I need to convert my existing OEM of XP Home Pro installation, in order to continue to work from home. Also, the so-called 'hack', I found on Microsoft Support that tricks the registry into thinking that XP Home is really Pro doesn't seem to work. I still see "XP Home" listed on the general tab of the system properties in Control Panel.

  I read on the page of Support of XP it is possible to perform this upgrade. But every support response said to start from the installation disc and click the upgrade option. Obviously, something wrong here. I'd appreciate it if someone could please tell me/us how to proceed. Thank you in advance for your help!

  Well, if you have studied all the possible options.  then the one I have is evidenced by 'research to the outside of the box'.

  You can repartition your hard drive into 2 discs or add a second hard drive to the computer.  essentially if you only have a c drive, then you must add a d drive to your system.

  then install xp pro on the secondary drive.   In doing so, you will have two operating system on your computer to start from, alias double boot.

  on the xp pro drive, you can install only the specialty programs that require the "pro" version while retaining the ability to start your oem with all your standard programs intact.

  of course you also have the possibility of 'nuk-clear', then to format the drive and wipe "oem" in order to install the 'pro '.   but frankly, the dual-boot method is better by far.

• How to upgrade the existing using the new version of Muse Web site

  I've recently updated to the last version of Muse (2015.0) and may not know how to upgrade my existing Web site. Used to, I would just click on publish and it would update in real time on my site. Now, I don't see how. Someone out there who can help me with this? Thank you

  Hi HeikeDN001,

  With the recent release of Muse CC there was a little problem with publication to business Catalyst Control Panel. It has been resolved locally and will be available in the next version of muse. For now, you can try a workaround to deal with the problem. You must use this workaround only once and then Muse will begin to function properly.

  • Create an empty site of Muse.
  • Publish it to BC with any name at random.
  • Once the new published file close and open your original file.
  • Now, try to publish your original file and you will be able to see all the options you could see as soon as possible.

  Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

  Kind regards

• Qosmio G50-115: how to upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate

  Dear friends,

  I am a teacher in a local college. We decided to buy the Qosmio (device name: G50-115, device number: PQG55E-01J00GEN, product group: QOSMIO) for our Department. We bought two so far for the trial. But my job is now on the sword.

  These laptops are pre-intstalled with Vista Home Premium SP1 and we need to upgrade these to Vista Ultimate. We have a DVD of Windows Vista Ultimate, but it's without SP1 on it. When I run and update, it rejects the upgrade because the installed version is newer than the version I have. Microsoft is no help, they said that you bought...

  Microsoft advised me to uninstall SP1, but I can't do that because there is no option in Control Panel to do this.

  If I install clean I won't lose nice software from Toshiba. I did a recovery disk, but do not think that I will be able to install this software. If I can download all necessary drivers, but I am interested in utilities/software installed at the factory.

  Would you please advise me what to do. Y did he we can get all the software of Qosmio on a DVD for instalation.

  Kind regards

  Dr. Sophie

  You should try to wake SP1 to the drive ultimate because I think that the problem is due the SP1 is already installed, but not on the final drive.

  You can do this with vLite: http://www.vlite.net/.
  With this tool, you can create your own with integrated service packs, patches, driver installation disc and more.

  Try this, it only takes a few minutes.

• How to upgrade qml component an act any

  Hello

  I need to display the remaining battery time. I tried to put some battery_info in their context but couldn't as long as it's not QObject. I need display the calendar in real time on my qml. How can I do

  Since you obvsiouly works on a sort of 'remaining-battery-life' - app. I will try to explain, in general, what you can do.

  First of all, you have your loop that checks for the remaining duration of the battery. You can either:

  1. keep looping and settings of the user interface for each loop (not a good idea!)
  2. Register for events and define the user interface on each event (best idea, but do not know if this is possible)
  3. Run the UI definition and method determineBatteryLifeRemaining every minute. (Variant 2)

  To update your qml components, you can only access from C++ and set the text. Small example how to proceed:

  QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///MainMenu.qml").parent(this);
  navigationPane = qml->createRootObject();
  TextArea* batteryText = navigationPane->findChild("batteryText");
  batteryText->setText("Nominate ZeZke for BB Elite!");

• Error: The installer cannot set Windows XP required configuration information during the upgrade to Windows XP Home SP3 of Windows XP Pro.

  Original title: OEM Windows XP Home SP3 update XP Pro

  Here is a compilation of the messages from another forum regarding
  My problem:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm trying to upgrade a Windows XP Home Sp3 OEM system to
  Windows XP Pro. (There are a few Pro features
  that are not available in the House I now need: (1) the files offline and
  (2) an add-on available for free to Onenote 2007, Top2onenote, requires a Pro).
  I don't want a clean install, but an upgrade. I bought a Windows XP Pro
  Upgrade CD on Ebay that was Windows XP Pro
  Gold (v2002). I'm sure that's true for the following reasons:

  It has been listed as an upgrade, but the CD is not labeled "Upgrade".
  It seems very authentic with all Microsoft holography.
  He came in the standard package of Windows XP (without box),
  and it was sealed.
  The name of volume for the CD is WXPFPP_EN. The Internet,.
  It is the retail of Windows XP Pro RTM (gold)!

  Here are things I tried initially.

  (1) I tried to upgrade to Pro from the purchased CD. It is immediately
  has refused to upgrade indicating the upgrade OS (Pro) is older than the
  installed OS (home)...

  (2) I read about "slipstreaming". "Slipstreaming" allows to integrate
  a service pack with an earlier version of the operating system. I created a
  upgrade XP Pro SP3 with Nlite slipstreamed CD image (and
  Autostreamer later, but it made no difference) from the purchased CD
  and a file containing SP3.

  After you burn the CD and start the upgrade
  (Windows installation), the upgrade process
  product through "information collection."
  "Dynamic update" and "Preparation of Installation" with
  no problems. My computer restarted and returned to
  "Installation preparation". A progress bar called 'Progress '.
  quickly filled to about 90% and the hanging system
  at that time there for about 15 minutes.
  Then, I got the following error message:

  Setup cannot set the required Windows XP configuration
  information. This indicates an internal Setup error.

  This is where I am stuck. I had to leave the installation at this point.
  My drive is starts raining and I had to restore a backup.

  (3) just for the heck of it, I formatted my hard drive and
  reinstalled my original OEM XP Home SP3 OS (no clean up, no user file).
  I immediately used my XP CD slipstreamed Pro to try one
  upgrade to XP Pro and IT WORKED! I need to find out why the
  properly clean XP Home OS upgraded to XP Pro but my pre-existing
  (with the files users, drivers, etc..) XP Home OS does not level
  successfully to XP Pro.
  -------------------------------------------------------------

  Another post:

  Yet once, today, I installed a new copy of OEM Windows XP Home Sp3.
  I continue with installation of all the essential and the add-on
  pilots (essentially all my original version). Then, I
  set up a network connection and firewall. With this configuration,.
  I ran the Pro XP slipstreamed SP3 CD. The upgrade to XP Pro
  success (even if the upgrade not configured my graphics
  card properly). I guess my current problem is either the registry,
  the WINDOWS, some user file or parameter file.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  Another post:

  I made a file and the backup of the folder C:\Windows folder
  on my system that is pre-existing (OEM XP Home Sp3). I also did a
  separate the backup the State of the 'system' on my pre-existing system.
  These are added my full image backup of her pre-existing
  system a month ago.

  I did a backup image of my system (minimum fees OEM XP Home
  SP3 with all the original installed drivers over a network configured
  connection and a firewall configured). This system will upgrade
  XP Pro with XP Pro SP3 slipstreamed CD successfully.

  Experiment 1:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the C:/Windows folder
  and the State of the pre-existing system backup system. A startup
  has managed (with a minor irritant). I had to activate Windows.
  Then, I tried upgrading the slipstreamed XP Pro processor. He stopped
  at the same place during the upgrade and gave the same error as before:

  Setup cannot set the required configuration information Windows XP.
  This indicates an internal Setup error.

  Experiment 2:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the system state only
  the backup of the pre-existing system. After startup I was asked to
  activate Windows, but answer Yes to the question would be to disconnect me
  the system. I couldn't get connected to try the XP Pro upgrade.

  Experience 3:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored only the C:/Windows
  the backup of the pre-existing system folder. Once again, as in experiment 1,
  the upgrade failed at the same place with the same error message.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Before the experiment 3, I hoped that 3 experience would succeed so I
  could conclude that I had a registry problem. I'm not sure now.
  I don't know what to try next. Take the minimum system and reinstalling
  my files of the user is not an option that my hard drive has over 200 GB of
  programs! If I restore all files and folders of my pre-existing
  I would still have backup to restore a system state the reliable (read the registry).
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  Sorry for the length! If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate your responses.

  Thank you
