  I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS? It's

  an old computer, but it works very well.  I want to switch to XP using the Windows upgrade disc. But

  in the specifications it lists only 98, 98 Second and ME as an operating system you can upgrade.  Thanks John

  Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

  In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

  With a used computer, regardless of its origin, recommended is to do a clean install of Windows. On most HP computers, you can enter the factory restore process by pressing a key of function as F11 at startup of the computer. There will be a message on the screen when you start the computer that tells you what function key. Do a full destructive factory restore. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• How can you tell the difference between Microsoft Windows 8 Pro Full version and upgrade?

  For previous versions of Windows, for example, Windows 7, it was very easy.  Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade has 'Upgrade' printed on the outside the box in the upper right, as well as on the discs themselves, while the full version does not work.

  See here for example of the box: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/193/e/0/Windows_7_Ultimate_upgrade_by_LucasVN.jpg

  For examples of records, see here: http://headsetchatter.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/snapshot-1283367118.977272.jpg, - http://www.microsoftcheapsoftware.com/ekmps/shops/samehxm/images/microsoft-windows-7-ultimate-sp1-upgrade-[3] 148 - p.jpg

  With Windows 8 Pro, I can't find any distinctive feature.  I bought the full version and upgrade of Windows 8 Pro, but after their installation on several dozen calculates, I lost track of which boxes and discs are which.  And there seems to be no way to understand who is who...

  There is never any full retail versions of Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro box. Only Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro OEM System Builder licenses were full versions. It's the best way to confirm.

  Since the release of Windows 8.1, in retail box copies are full versions.

• How do I upgrade to Windows 7 Pro without reinstalling the operating system?

  I have a client who is moving from a workgroup to a domain based network.  About half of the computers are Windows 7 Home edition.  I need to upgrade to Pro so I can join the domain.  I was not able to find an easy way to do it since Anytime Upgrade no longer works on Windows 7.  The only time I did, I had to by a free license key and ended up having to completely reinstall the operating system.  So, how can I switch to Win 7 Pro without reinstallation of the operating system or go to Windows 8.

  Unfortunately, your only option now would be to buy a full version or upgrade to Windows 7 professional retail license and use the product key with the Express Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Wizard. It is, it's expensive:

  Where can I still get Windows 7?

  Full version-

  Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• Computer portable NB305 - Windows 8 pro - WIFI not working not

  Hello everyone,

  I have a Toshiba NB305-105 netbook with windows 7 and 2 GB Ram... I bought windows 8 pro update and I installed it.

  After the proper installation, I installed all the drivers toshiba Win 7 32 bit.
  Well, after that, no hardware problem, but the (Fn + F8) wifi button is not working and I can not turn on wifi... !!

• How do I know that I can put windows 7 pro on

  I just started a new job which requires windows 7 pro 32-bit. I am looking for a new laptop and have installed since everything seems to come with windows 10 now. However, my biggest problem looking for laptops is that whoever I talked to the store tries to talk to me about windows 7 pro or unclear if it can be charged in those that they show to me.

  is it possible to be able to find this information on my own? is there some spec that I need to keep an eye on, or is - the more a * shoot?

  Computer that you ever look at must have win 7 32-bit drivers for it or you won't be able to downgrade.  Most new computer manufacturers are not develop win 7 drivers because support for win 7 ends soon.

  There may be another option, but it's kinda a Reiver work.  This option would be to run a virtual machine, winning 10 and run winner 7 inside.  I wouldn't recommend this way, unless there is no other choice

• How to remove a user account remotely in Windows 8 Pro?

  Hey people!

  I have a rather embarrassing question here, which is not urgent, but gives me great concern.
  I am an administrator as COMPUTER technician (sort of... without... self-taught qualifications only) to a small property management organization.
  I am currently looking for another job, and when you want to leave I might have is any more access to the desktop. I have always (it's the PC I am writing this post since).
  I am connected with my private microsoft account, even I use it everywhere, including my own laptop computers and the family too. Needless to say that there is information only I have access to, but I didn't want any hack - in a tent in the future. After all, this is my personal account.
  Is there a way to not just turn off sync and access to my account on this computer, but force the system to delete my files on this computer using my account from another computer? even if the files cannot be removed remotely (they are encrypted), if there is a way to prevent my account appears in the settings and the user selection screen would be a great help.
  Please note that, from now on, I need to have my account on this PC so that I can access information on the server of office on the fly if needed.
  Any ideas?
  Thanks in advance
  PS: Yes, I said I am a technician, but please note that it is not my job. I'm more in the development of a set of security features of Windows. Everything I know about computers come from self-education (experiences and failures in my childhood), and even though I consider myself a very thorough person, beyond the level of the user, I have to admit that I'm not an expert. especially when it comes to advanced safety features. but my mind is open to suggestions and ideas...

  There is no one way to do this unless you have the device software and server management suites.  So basically, not unless you are a massive company.  But even in this case, there is no absolute guarantee, because the company could just disconnect the network and then you'd never a way to send a command to this computer anyway to clear it.  So any local administrator on the computer can still watch all the files, regardless of what protection/security configure you (administrators are like God: they can always see everything without any restrictions at all).

• How to upgrade the BIOS without a floppy drive?

  Hello

  I'm trying to update my BIOS using my CD player. I have an IBM Thinkpad 600E

  The latest version on the Lenovo site is an exe which requires a floppy disk. Given that I don't have a floppy drive, no idea how to get this created on a CD as a bootable image? Or is it a different download for the same thing?

  Thank you

  I'm not sure it's possible, an easy solution would be to get your hands on a diskette. Here's a bargain on the market at TPF.
