  • PSE improve and change the operating system from Windows to Mac

    Hi all

    In 2005 I bought initially PSE 3 and PSP 3 for Windows.

    In 2009, I upgraded to Version 8 for Windows PSE

    Now, I've changed the operating system for MAC and upgraded to PSE & PSP 14.

    When you go to the store, I can select and upgrade package - but only for Windows (I guess because of my previous purchases for Windows).

    How can I change for MAC now?

    Anyone any idea or had the same challenge?

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice or insight.

  • Qosmio G20: I want to change the operating system, but cannot do

    Qosmio G20: I want to change the operating system, but I can't do it.

    Please help me and I will be grateful

    Hello

    Of course, you can change the operating system and install another I wonder what OS you prefer?  :|

    I think that you can not install the new OS because the HARD drive is not visible. Am I wrong?
    Fact is that the G20 series supports RAID functionality. You must install the RAID driver before you continue the OS installation procedure

    The RAID driver can be downloaded from the European pilot of Toshiba page and should be included in the operating system using an external USB FDD drive.

  • NB200 - can I change the operating system?

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba NB200 and Windows 7 starter.

    I would like to change the operating system, and he wanted to know who I can install in this mini portatil. Also if after changing the operating system, the warranty is lost.

    Thank you for all!

    Hey Buddy,

    Why you want to change the operating system?
    In my opinion, Windows 7 Starter is ideal for this netbook. Windows 7 is the newest operating system and the Starter Edition is designed for netbooks.

    Of course, you can install what you want and you won't lose the warranty if you install another, but Windows 7 is really good!

  • Change the operating system selected a virtual machine under tension in vCenter

    Is this possible? I looked in the box change the Settings - Options - but I can't see the usual fall down?

    You should turn off the machine.

    If you have made a mistake by setting for 32-bit or 64 - bit or vice versa, it does not really affect the virtual machine.

    If you have entirely changed the operating system, then you will need to power off and do it right that there is again a critical impact. the operating system you choose decides the type of SCSI controllers and things.

    I suggest you set a stop and do time.

    I have few Wyse S30 thin clients with WinCE on them. Is it possible to reflash them with Linux instead? I want to be able to use them to access a Server Windows 2012, without upgrading the memory that is already on them. they have 64 MB of RAM.

    SMKEATING,

    The S30 has either 32, 64 or 128 MB of flash, so installing Linux cannot be an option because of space constraints.

    Hello

    There is NO vista 7

    There is vista or windows 7 operating system

    they are different operating systems

    your question is confusing

    the header:

    "to reinstall windows 7."

    the body of the message;

    "Reinstall Vista ultimate.

    These are forums for more information of vista vista:

    http://eSupport.Sony.com/

    Contact sony and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Operating system on laptop hard drive lost. I have a XP Recovery CD, but do not have access due to no operating system.

    Hard drive has been reformatted but not as a system disk. Laptop lacks a floppy drive to boot from. Any ideas on the question: How can I format HD as system disk?

    Highlite,
    So unless you have a floppy, it seems that you could be in trouble.  If your BIOS will not boot from CD then you can contact the manufacturer and see if they can send you a diskette or if they have another way to get the system to boot from the CD.  Or there's always the ebay... you may be able to find a set of readers for sale.  :(  A local PC shop may be able to help.

    Hello:

    HP only offers support and drivers for W8 on their consumption of the PC.

    Visitors eager to support for other windows operating systems must buy a class business PC.

    While there is no guarantee, you should be able to install W7 x 64 on your laptop.

    I recommend that you first do your set of recovery discs before attempting to install another operating system on your laptop as once you traffic W8, the recovery partition probably will no longer work.

    You will need to go into the BIOS and enable the legacy mode and disable secure boot.

    So if you can get W7 to install, all x64drivers W7 and model this linked software should also work on your.

    DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE FILES.
