Can I install windows 8 pro update on a system dual boot (XP, 7 ongoing) replacing of windows 7, but keep the dual boot ability so that I can run the XP apps that only seem to work on XP?
Can I install windows 8 pro update on a system dual boot (XP, 7 ongoing) replacing of windows 7, but keep the dual boot ability so that I can run the XP apps that only seem to work on XP?
Yes, you can use the installation of Windows 7 to qualify for the upgrade to Windows 8.
You can then install Windows 8 on Windows 7 partition and dual boot with XP.
For reference - if the computer had installed XP you could not dual boot with the help of an upgrade of Windows 8.
In addition, to back up important data before installing a new operating system is recommended.

You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install. You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion. -
I can't access drive "D" and remove some content to make more room.
* Original title: upgrade.
Hello. I'm trying to reinstall my own copy of windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop for a clean start.
My problem is that, because I only did this for a while the "D" partition is completely filled. The bar that shows the ability is red instead of green and because there is no place, I can't reinstall the O/P.
For some reason, I can't access drive "D" and remove some content to make more room. It does not appear on Device Manager, and when I try to access it through my computer it shows "D" drive must be empty.
I also tried to add and remove programs, but they all seem to be on the C"" drive.
How do I enter "D" drive to remove enough information for me to finish a reinstall?
Start the custom installation, it will ask you where store system. Click Advanced. Delete all partitions. The installation process will create the partitions, that he needs and format. I recommend strongly against any other that what Windows 7 install really wants partitioning.

Can I install Windows 7 on P6 2320ed?
Hello
I want to downgrade from W8 on my 2320ED P6.
But my setup of W7 does not seem to recognize the hard disk drivers and is therefore not suitable hard drive to install.
I tried to use pre-installed INTEL management engine interface (from SWSETUP) drivers but to no avail.
Anyone?
Hi Paul,.
I got it but not working in an elegant way.
First I had to use the connector, USB 2.0 (backwards) instead of USB 3.0 at the front.
With the help of USB 3.0 I get the error "unable to find drivers.
With the help of USB 2.0 installation has been able to see my disk and partitions.
But when I tried to install W7 on this partition, you guesed already, it says: "Windows cannot use this drive because it is in the GPT format. After some reading I discovered that when you start with device MBR (which of course is my USB key) you can not install Windows to a UEFI/GPT disk.
So I decided that I should not need UEFI features on this hard drive anyway so I removed by using DISKPART (from SHIFT F10 command prompt in the settings screen). Clean the partition and convert to MBR. Then return to the Setup screen, format and conduct regular W7 installation.
Phew!
So now it's on!
(now having to find drivers W7 USB3.0 controller and some other SM bus controller)
Anyway thanks a lot for your support.
See you soon,.

I can't install windows on MacBook 15 inch 512 GB 2015
Hello
I just brought my new laptop I want to install windows on this 10 by bootcamp. I saw a lot of videos on youtube about installing windows on a mac.
And I have the iso of windows and proceed to installing windows subsequently after that download the file of taking in charge of windows there was an error popup "WINDOWS FILE cannot NOT BE COPYED". Later when I retried but I need to download a media file, so I download the separate media file instead. But how do I add this file to boot camp instead download it again.
Please help me with it on this error and the Windows Media file. IM using Bootcamp 6.0.1 so I think it's not see option select task during installation windows 10.
Can I install Windows on mac without having to install the media file. While I can install it later when windows is installed on BOOTCAMP 6.0 NOT the PREVIOUS VERSION.

Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?
Greetings!
The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.
I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?
What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?
I do not understand your question about "interface."
The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.
See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab
Your computer was preinstalled with:
Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)
and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.
My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.
Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows. That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».
