    Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

    There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

    If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

  • How to put Windows 7 on the new hard drive without boot cd? How will I know if 32 or 64 bits? This computer yourself running windows 10?

    * Original title: windows 7 download

    I have a laptop dell M4400 with windows 7 pro OA. HARD drive crashed and I replaced with a new one. How to put Windows 7 on the new hard drive without boot cd? How will I know if 32 or 64 bits? This computer yourself running windows 10?

    It has probably comes with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    You can download a copy of Windows 7 Professional using the following instructions (update of Microsoft recovery software supports downloads with the COA key):

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    You can also use Windows 10 too as you have the right to it as a free upgrade:

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • My computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants). How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

    As says the question: my computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants).  How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

    I'm running a full system scan in ESM right now, and it has detected multiple instances of sirefef.   I have remove as they pop up, but I'm afraid that when I run another scan they all will always be there.  Is there a way to know if MSE is actually remove them and he cleaning?  If not, should I do a back up and reinstall the OS?

    Thank you.  I can choose to try this, however, I would like an answer to my other questions first.

    Sirefef is a rootkit and yes he can hide in your system.  This is why it has been suggested that you may need to reformat/reinstall.  In fact, it's the only way to eliminate malware.  Multiple scans with several scanners and no conclusion malware probably indicate he disappeared, but the key word is "probably".  Malwarebytes is good and what he finds now may be traces of the infection, but what he finds perhaps not active more - it is always good to run the scans so.

    What spare drive did you run?  What scanners did you use?  See again you and follow the guide "Malwaretips"?

    For the firewall problem, you can try the following Microsoft Fixit.

    Diagnose and automatically fix problems of Windows Firewall service

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_firewall_diagnostic/en-us

    One of the users of the Forum answers maintains that a great guide on information security is important for understanding the removal of malicious software.  See the following compliments of Brian M - for suggestions on how to solve your problem: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide/#after see: after the removal process and solve the problems of Post disinfection

    Uninstall/reinstall of MSE is how?  All the problems?  Have you tested MSE with eicar to be sure it's working?

    Assume that you have not had an opportunity to review the MSE Installation Checklist or you would have noted that MSE and Windows Defender cannot be used on the same computer.  So if WD works in fact it means MSE has been disabled/not not work correctly or not installed.

    See the next WD re: Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials

    Good luck...

  • How will I know if my new laptop has Windows 8 Pro

    I bought two Dell systems.  One was the M6700 I knew had top Windows 8 Pro and I installed Media Center with the Microsoft product key sent to me.  I went back to the system due to SIGNIFICANT and costly Pro Tech support.  After 26 days, they refused to fix the screen would dim every 3 minutes, saying: "if he wasn't a yellow bang in Device Manager it was not their problem.  The last day, I accidentally found a Dell program that controlled the graphic setting called color Dell Premier.  I decided to go back to the workstation even though it was a great system.  I didn't look forward to 3 years technical support useless and frustrating to a value of $350.

    A month later, I bought an Alienware technical support personnel system is so much better.  I worked with them for years and never had the problems I had with the support of Corp.

    Since it has been a month and I had just finished a factory on the M6700 system restore, I felt that I would have been able to use the product key for the Media Center.  However after working with a Microsoft Tech today for an hour. He seemed to feel that the Media Center button would not work on this system for two possible reasons. 1. what it cannot be Pro Windows 8 or 2. The key somehow was not removed from the M6700 after the factory restore.

    So before having any contact with Pro support, I would like to know how I can tell if this system or does not have Windows 8 Pro.  I don't remember if the Windows 8 Pro showed in the system information report.  Or if she could be considered under control panel - system.  I tried to run the update on the upgrade assessment and who has failed for some reason, saying: it was not available in my country.  What is the United States.  It seems that the system is configured for which English is the language.  Given that I didn't get through a full installation of Windows as if I installed the program as you would if it was Windows 7 system comes through a Microsoft Agreement which I checked and then configure the network online and I logged on.  I was not even given the opportunity to choose the name of system I need to change.

    I'm a little lost at this stage to say the least.  If Microsoft technology could not tell if it is Windows 8 Pro, do not want to assume that the OEM support would be.

    I have the disc that came with the M6700 and I it matched with the disc that came with this system.  Both drives have the same part number and both claim it's for Windows 8 Recovery Media for Windows 8 products.

    So it is a Question of two parts:

    1. How will I know if I have installed Windows 8 Pro &

    2. How can I get my product key Media Center back?

    Thank you for your support.
