Should I remove XP?
Hello Lewis,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.
I suggest using disk cleanup.
Click on Start Orb > all programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
Go through and select all that you can cleanup, also check the tab more options and making sure that you go through the restore points.
Delete temporary internet files and personal files.
The best thing to do is backup everything on an external hard drive for 2 reasons.
1 - To free disk space
2 - To have a backup in case something happens with your computer.
Hope this helps Chris.H

I bought a laptop with windows 7 family, and updated Edition upgraded to windows 7 Professional, how can I buy the Windows 7 Professional Backup CD?
You can't (unless you want to buy it separately at full price).
Windows 7 uses the "anytime upgrade" feature Because Windows uses image based install now, technically you were always professional, you just had not unlocked it again by typing in the code. If you were ever to re - install your computer, you'd be at the publishing house and just simply type the code again (Don lose it!)
If you wish, you can create your own system image backup. It's more than a Windows installation disc. It is an exact replica of your entire hard drive, including all your programs and settings that you have configured. It's like a photo snapshot in time. This gives you a CD, you can use to immediately restore your computer to the point in time where the image was taken - even all your installation and installs.
If you want to create it, here's how:
- Open Control Panel
- Choose system and security
- Choose the backup and restore
- Choose to create a system image on the left

I bought a laptop with a windows xp pro, I have the serial number, but I don't have the installation disc. How can I know which version I need? SP3 has not worked... at the moment I am testing SP1
I bought a laptop with a windows xp pro, I have the serial number, but I don't have the installation disc. How can I know which version I need? SP3 has not worked... at the moment I am testing SP1
The serial number of the computer has nothing to do with the product key for Windows.
What happened when you tried to install Xp with sp3? If you do not have the original for the computer that you use to install Windows?
You can try to contact the manufacturer of the computer who may be able to provide the recovery disc. The disks are usually under $ 20.

You don't want to buy win8 until you have verified first this portable machine provides win8 drivers, or you ran the tool to advise win8 update.
PS You are sure that your version of win7 is bad, or are you just a «can be victum msg»
Your laptop has a restore partition hidden, from where you can restore you to factory State?

In the 14 elements - everything works fine until I hit the TEXT tool "T". Then the program hangs and I have to use the TASK MANAGER to close it. I have 7 programs above, which dates back to the early 2000s and am very familiar with the elements. I did the update - but still the same. Anyone got any suggestions?
A simple reset will often do the trick. Go to this link:
