  Windows XP instead of Vista.

  I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system.  Can I do this?  I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

  Hello

  There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:

  1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.

  2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.

  3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.

  4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

  Your computer may have a recovery partition which is accessible when you first start the computer (usually by typing the key F9 several times will begin the recovery process).

  This will reinstall Windows back to the point when you received everything first, therfore backup important data files (Documents, photos, music, etc.) on external before starting. Be prepaired to reinstall all the software can also be purchased and installed (rounding up of multimedia installation and product key codes).

  I didn't mean that you cannot run Windows 7. I have run on systems with 512 MB of ram. It will work, but will slip. It will be the same for Vista. I recommend that stick you with Xp until you are able to upgrade your ram.

• Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit. How to re-install Windows Installer?

  Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit SP2. How can I re - install Windows Installer? None of the 27 sets of update and Installer Cleanup solutions worked, a last resort option could work but it will not install without the Windows Installer Service.

  I tried each FixIt option, says the problem is solved, but isn't.
  I tried install Windows Installer 4.5, but it came back as not relevant to my system (because there is no previous installer to update).
  Tried a number of recommended patches, but they are all geared toward fixing the problems of Windows Update not a lack of Windows Installer.
  MicrosoftFixit50202.msi seems to have corrected Windows Update on my laptop but it won't install on Vista pc because there is no Windows Installer.
  I ran the installation disc the option 'fix' with the original, it finished but has not replaced Installer and nothing was fixed.

  How can I put the installer of Windows on my computer?  If there are files on the original drive that can be put into drive C what are they?
  Someone suggested to uninstall Service Pack 2, and then reinstall, but if I have no installer of Windows that may not work. Others said they reformatted to correct same question, but it did not work.

  These previous solutions have not helped:
  Could not locate the installer of Windows on Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
  Difficulty the installer of windows vista sp2
  code641/MSI
  Failed installation error msg error 80070641 Windows update

  After a month of butting heads with the refusal of Microsoft to actually help except to sell us all a new copy of Vista or Win7 at the normal price I solved the problem myself.

  1. I made a list of all my software purchased, including required registration keys, etc. and site URL for those who I don't have a disk for.
  2. Deleted registry back up on my external hard disk, reloading apparently one makes the backed up registry problems breed more.
  3. Inserted my drive from Dell to factory since 2007 and restarted. Press a key to boot from the CD. Chose "reformat hard drive' first, then when prompted hit"Reinstall"(slightly different wording on your computer).
  4. After you have reinstalled the factory disc 32-bit Vista, I spent hours 7 next installation of SP1, SP2 and hundreds of updates. Note that several times Windows Update said some updates to date has failed, but finally everything installed correctly by repeating the sequence of installation/reboot to update. There have been a few files that reported to turn off computer completely, I've shown... clicked with indicator shutdown (stop), let it do its thing until it turned off the computer and then the computer restarted manually later. After a total of 8 hours and 14 minutes as my Vista has been fully loaded, updated the installer is still intact, everything works very well and did not cost a penny.

  It has been 2 days since the reformatting/reinstall. I reinstalled all my additional software without problem. System Mechanic is back in service without any prejudice to my installation Service. Seems that something is involved with .NET Framework 4 triggered a defense mechanism that caused the installer should be deleted, solved the problem of the .NET Framework from Microsoft, but it can be installed by the installer being removed to protect our computers. The question was not just with Dell computers, it is Dell support is just as incompetent that Microsoft support batch so more Dell owners were here to complain.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  FYI: my mobile Samsung with Win7, the correction was easier because my installation Service has not been removed:

  1. Uninstalled all the software using .net Framework 4 (only 2)
  2. Uninstalled all .net Framework 4 bodies found on my list of programs (Client Profile and Essentials)
  3. A ran my System Mechanic to remove debris aka too much clutter and correct registry problems
  4. Laptop rebooted then ran Windows Update. All the updates installed with 3 requiring the judgment to install. .NET framework reinstalled with updates.
  5. Reinstalled my 2 pieces of software that use .NET Framework.

  It has been 4 days without any problem at all. So, in my case, it's .NET Framework 4 that created and continued the problem, even if the specific audit FixIt kept saying all .NET Frameworks have been installed correctly.

• I could install windows 8 on my computer hp Dv6-6070ee laptop

  I could install windows 8 on my computer hp Dv6-6070ee laptop

  Windows 8 is compatible for all the things in my computer hp Dv6-6070ee laptop

  Hello

  Thanks for posting again.

  I will now give you instructions how you can test whether Windows 8 will work for you.

  Before we begin, I want to say again that

  • Material to your computer allows you to install and run Windows 8.
  • However, I could not find drivers for your machine to Windows 8 and your model was not officially tested with Win 8HP.
  • Personally, I do not guarantee 100% compatibility with absolutely everything and everything works perfectly.
  • So it is for you to test it or not.
  • The procedure takes time.

  Before you begin:

  1. You must create a recovery HP (disks or USB) media - this can be used in case you want to recover your computer to factory default - instructions can be found here
  2. Very important - using Windows 7 built-in options and go to control panel-> system and security control, click on save to your computer. It opens his backup center and restoration. You will need a disk (CD/DVD) and do a Windows recovery disk. It can be used in the case where you have to reimage the machine and return to Windows 7. Instructions here.
  3. Yet once in the backup and Restore Center-> create a system image - this will make a copy of all your hard drive right now. This will help you restore in Windows 7 and the State of the machine (if Windows 8 does not work for you). Instructions on this subject can be found here. I recommend that you create this image on an external hard drive.
  4. Back up your most important files by using the Windows backup utilitity - instructions can be found here. Place them on an external hard drive.

  Once you are ready with the above steps, and if they have successfully completed, you are fully backed up and you can continue with the experience/test.

  Download the Advisor of Windows 8 upgrade from here and run it.

  It will scan your computer and if it is compatible and what needs to be changed before you move to Windows 8.

  Follow his instructions to fix what may need to be corrected. This could take some time.

  At this point, don't buy Windows 8.

  Check these instructions from HP on the upgrade to Windows 8 - Note that not all written inside is related to your case, but you can read to get an idea. Read the paths of upgrade of Windows 8 here.

  After that depending on your edition of Windows 7 current and according to your preferences, you must do a clean install of Windows 8 or to do an upgrade.

  You can download the free 90-day Windows 8 Enterprise Edition on Microsoft TechNet evalutional version - link.

  You will need to register using the Microsoft account - it will provide you with a license key and a downloadable ISO image of Windows 8 Enterprise. On your own drive you should burn this ISO (double-click it) to make the installation of Windows 8 disc.

  When the installation disc is ready, use to make clean install Windows 8 or update install. Look at all the instuctions I provided. After installation of Windows 8 upgrade, or own, you should try to run Windows Update to ensure that it is up-to-date. If a specific driver is required, you can try to install the Windows 7 version - download it from here. You can restore your personal files from Windows 7 upwards you created earlier.

  Experiment. If this works fine, you can later restore to Windows 7 image, then buy a proper version of Windows 8 and perform the upgrade on the spot or other clean install.

  If this does not work and you decide to go back to Windows 7, boot from the Windows system recovery disk (created before - look above at step 2) and use the option of image recovery system to reimage the machine and return to the State of Windows 7.

  Instructions on this subject can be found here and here

  Good luck and happy testing!

• Re-install Windows 8 on another computer

  Yes, you can, you may need to reactivate by phone well.

  Press the Windows key + X , then clickrun, then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

• Cannot install Windows 7 on the computer

  Hi my name is Mauricio Osorio, recently, I tried to install Windows 7 on my computer, but it does not work, then I tried to re - install my Windows 8.1 license, but my computer has two drives, all first it's a ssd (Solid disc) and the other is sata, the most common of the disc type. My problem is: I don't know how to use this because it is so small (25 GB) ssd drive, but it is really fast, I tried to install Windows on it, but is so small and it does not work. What should I do?

  If as you indicate the SSD is small it almost certainly was not used as a disk operating system, but as a buffer high speed for the main SATA drive.

  The factory restore should recover the disks in the correct way before you tried to install Windows 7, you have created the.

  If you want to set this function yourself then how exactly depends on the chipset. With the driver Intel Smart Response Technology, you will need to install Windows on the SATA drive then in the driver control panel define the SSD as its buffer.
