I bought a new computer with Vista last summer from Best Buy with a free upgrade to Windows 7. They said that the upgrade on their part has expired, but I can get the program from Microsoft for $18. If this is true... who should I contact?
How can I get an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 without having to pay full price?

Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Please post future questions about the upgrade in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

I have a computer with windows 7 to run on it. I have 2 files of images on my current computer and bought a new computer with windows installed 10. Can I copy these files to a dvd and transfer them to the new computer with windows 10 installed. If so, how can I do it and ask what I should do?
Hello Kenneth
See my response to a similar q in the thread above...
You can use DVD or CD, but an external drive or a USB is so much faster and easier.
Best regards, Ric.

I have a psc 2210 all-in-one printer that I love. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and I can't make it work. The HP site said that I don't have to download the drivers because windows 7 has already installed, but the main thing is that I can't make it work. Anyone, please help. My printer works perfectly and I can't afford to buy another. (I have a 64 bit)
HP should contribute to this situation. I'm a loyal customer of Hp, but it's ridiculous that they do not create a driver to work with their printers. All computers are coming with Windows 7. HP please find a solution!
I could get my HP PSC 2210 all-in-one to print! I don't know exactly, because I've tried everything I could think of. My son is a computer on which it has upgraded to windows 7 (64-bit) several months ago - he was able to successfully print on my printer immediately. I just did an install complete (I bought the full version, not upgrade) to windows 7 (64 bit) - a couple of days and I'm finally to the point where I'm trying to connect printers. Here is what I tried... again, I tried several things, although I've been in that general area...
connect the printer to the computer
go to the CONTROL PANEL--> Device Manager
Click the arrow to the left of the IMAGING DEVICES (to be developed)
RT click on printer PSC 2200 (should be listed under imaging devices)
Select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall
Select / tick "remove the driver for the device.
the printer will disappear from the Device Manager (and peripheral Imaging also if it was the only selection)
Unplug the printer to computer
re - connect the printer to the computer
Device Manager automatically updated (takes a few minutes, the screen refresh let until the yolk! disappears).
Go to the control panel--> devices and printers
Select printer PSC 2200, select Customize your printer, then the printed test page
I hope that you will get a valid test page. If this is not the case, another option I tried was:
Through the above scenario. When you get to the step "select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall" Select UNINSTALL directly from this menu (be sure to select/check "remove software pilot")
Continue with the remaining steps above.
I also tried 'Update Driver' of one of the previous screens above... I would like to know if you have a bit of luck! I'm sorry that's not accurate. Yet once, I tried everything I could think of, and something finally worked! (I don't think I tried to 'Turn off the pilot') Good luck! .........

I recently bought a new computer with no phone jack. I want to connect a landline to him if I can use my phone. Is there a way, or the thing I can buy so it's possible. A usb modem would work in this situation for me?
waylonx3 wrote: Compaq - Presario Desktop model: CQ5600Y
Hello waylonx3, here is the link for the specifications of your system. It shows that your system has 2 slots, PCIe and a PCI slot.
Your system should be able to use one of these modems of type. I would check the motherboard of the system to make sure that you have a PCI slot or available PCIe and then you can order one that will work in your system.
Here is a link to Amazon, where you can see some phone PCIe and PCI modems. They also appear in other places.

I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another office.
I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another desktop computer. My son has paid and downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium on this computer (Asus), not knowing that I had the free update. ASUS sent me free upgrade disks. Can I use these on another desktop computer? Or I can download Windows on another desktop computer and transfer my registration to it, and then use the Asus drives on this computer?
Your question has nothing to do with the functionality of Windows Update (vs Windows upgrade), Jan.
That being said, Asus only can answer your specific question. Good luck!
