I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
one or both.
This traditional desktop Interface is almost identical to Windows 7
interface; the biggest difference is that there is no Orb start
Click to bring up the start menu. But note that you can get the beginning
Orb back using one of the many third-party programs, either for free or
very inexpensive (Classic Shell to)
http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
Debut8, but they are both very good).
And going from one interface to another is very easy; There are
several ways, but simply by pressing the Windows key is perhaps the
easier. Just install one of these two and using the traditional
Desktop interface may be a better choice for you than go to
Windows Vista. I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with the
traditional desktop interface and start 8 installed. If you were
to view and use my computer, you would have a realization of wireless trouble
is not Windows 7.

I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.
Want Windows 7 "to http://www.howtogeek.com/elk/298/45121/4206

has been woundering if ill have problems if I try to load vista on a laptop comes with windows 8 already on it

Note that you need to do a clean install, so lose
all data on the drive and all installed programs.

Also note that (especially with a laptop), you may need Windows Vista
drivers for it, and they cannot exist. So before you try, remember to
Check with the manufacturer of the laptop that Vista is performed on it.

    I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

    Hello

    There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.

    Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.

    p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

    It depends on the old hard drive still works.

  • I'm considering buying a computer with Windows 7. Is there a driver for my Canon Multipass F50 printer? I have Office Professional for XP - can I load office software on the new computer with Windows 7?

    Page drivers Canon MultiPASS F50 & the downloads shows nothing for Windows 7 (or even for Vista), so I doubt that it works.

    Microsoft Office XP is not compatible with Windows 7.  Office 2003 and Office 2007 are.

    Hey guys, first time, coming through a device like this. PowerEdge 840

    I read the manual, but still confused, can I load win7 on this machine? It can work as any ordinary windows machine?

    So I went into the boot options and selected the dvd as the first player, but it just goes straight to windows server 2003. Something up with this device in any case, whenever I have manually close it restarts and the fan is very noisy? Is this way, it is supposed to work, or it is supposed to be silent?

    There is 3x73GB readers in this machine and there is 2 pci cards connected to a smal circuit located at the rear of the 3 HARD drive, what can I do here in order to bypass this RAID system to connect a HARD drive to load windows OS please?

    The connector on the disks look like regular SATA connectors but the description on the Maxtor disk reads:

    ATLAS 10K V, 3.5 SERIES

    73 GB Serial Attached SCSI

    They are not SATA disks? If not and I can use a SATA drive, do I have to remove 3 disks and place a SATA drive in one of the slots?

    You might be able to install Windows 7, but NO server has been tested and validated to run no matter WHAT client operating system. They are tested and developed for the server operating system. That said, it doesn't mean it won't work, but you will need to use the drivers 2008R2.

    Servers are not supposed to be quiet, but as part of the POST, the fans turn loudly when first energized. If they do not ramp down to a 'normal' speed, there may be a problem with the fans, sensors or environment (or the lid can be turned off).

    Make sure there is a check mark next to the DVD drive... means it is enabled. Also, how did you create your Windows media?

    You can install Windows with a RAID System... you just need drivers. What model of controller RAID do you have?

    SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) are not the SATA drives, but SAS controllers/cables/funds of basket are 'retro' - compatible with SATA. You CAN put SATA drives out there, but it won't change anything. Windows will treat it the same. Windows only communicates with the controller, not directly with the player.

  • Can I load MDR100ABN listener using the charger that comes with mobile phones

    Can I load MDR100ABN earpiece with charger that comes with mobile or camera DSC-HX90V

    Hello, ss2016!

    It is recommended to use only the USB cable provided with the product itself. But if it is a Sony USB cable, then it should be all right. I load all my Sony products with different cables Sony too (as long as the load cables shown in the port of loading of the product), and there is no problem. They all work very well. No problem whatsoever. I never use another cable other than a charge cable Sony with my Sony products. If the is a charger for Sony, there should be no problem using it as a charging cable. Make sure that it fits into the port of loading of the headphones. The DSC-HX90V is also a Sony product, so it shouldn't be a problem using the Sony camera cable to charge your Sony headphones. In other words, make sure you only use cables from Sony to charge Sony products. (But we must ensure that the cable Sony fits into the Sony product)

  • Windows Vista has crashed, "the operating system not found" error, can I load Windows XP on a partition?

    I have an Acer Aspire 5516, with pre-installed Windows Vista. I didn't know that it did not come with a recovery disk UNTIL my system crashed! During a routine virus scan, I got a blue screen saying a major problem has been found and the system has been shut down. I followed the instructions to gracefully shut down my laptop. When I turned this back on after the "Acer" logo he went to a black screen with info on my computer and the last line States "not found operating system". That's when I discovered there was no recovery disc & it is integrated into the system. To access this system you we F8 to enter safe mode, then Alt F10 to access 'erecovery management system. Neither one of these functions operate! Still getting the black screen with "operating system" not found I have a Windows XP my laptop previous. What I was wondering is if I can load on my Acer, possibly on a partition, in order to be able to get into my laptop and save all of my files? I'm terrified of losing everything I have! I have thousands of pictures that I can't replace. If anyone can help please do! I am on a very limited income & can not really afford professional help. Thank you very much in advance!

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  • How can I load my vista e-mail folders in an application compatible with Windows 7 or XP

    My motherboard on my HP Pavilion laptop is dead and he was running Vista 64 - bit OS. I'm trying to recover my email so I can read in a mailer with the files so I can just point and click to see them. I was able to recover the contents of the hard drive and copy them to my office. Unfortunately, I don't have a .csv file recent backup of email, as well as the Local folder, there is the Windows Mail data. I tried to import them in Office 2007, but of course, Outlook uses a PST file and will not allow these files to be dragged into the Inbox. My desktop computer runs on XP Home and so I tried to load in Outlook Express. No luck. I tried dragging the files in Mozilla Thunderbird Email, with unsuccessful results. If only I had a good index of folders backup my problem would be solved. Is there anyway I can import or move these folders in an e-mail application that actually do it, for now my only option is to open the individual txt email files to display. I was not able to find a compatible third-party application that can move or import these files for me. Any help would be appreciated.

    There are two ways to bring them into OE.  You create a new folder in OE and open it so that it displays a list of empty message.  In Windows Explorer, open the folder under local folders and then proceed to one of the subdirectories.  Then highlight all eml files in the directory and make sure that you have selected the eml files.  Then let them slide over the emptiness of messageliste OE and drop and they get incorporated into the file, as long as they are only eml files (try it with a first and so you get the idea of how it works).

    You can then do this for each folder.  Or you can get my program OEX (www.oehelp.com/OEX/) and authorizes the import into OE or WinMail in Vista from a directory of eml files.

    Hello

    After trying to change my Bootcamp partition, I'm more able to start Windows. If I restart and hold option, I get only the Mac drive. However, I can still find the content of my Windows disk in the finder. Please can someone explain how I can get it back?

    I have a Mac running OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. I don't know what other information is needed, so please tell me and I can answer. Thank you very much.

    What changes did you make to the partition of BC? Can you post the output of the following commands in OS X Terminal?

    diskutil list

    Cs diskutil list

    sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

    The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.
