• Where to get the CD to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit (non OEM)?

  I want to move from 32-bit Vista Business Edition without wiping my whole system.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  http://www.Amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

  Another option is to purchase the license OEM Windows 7 Professional 32 bit.

  Get a DVD Windows 7 Professional 32 bit retail full version or upgrade and do an upgrade without key.

  How to install Windows 7 without entering your product key.

  Then replace the OEM Windows 7 Professional 32 bit key:

  Press Windows key + R
  Type: slui.exe 3
  Press enter

  Enter the product key and click next to activate via the Internet.

• have 2 admin accounts and it is impossible to get the option to remove one of them

  I created for the administrator accounts and cannot get the option to remove one of them. I want to delete that won't give me the option to delete all it will let me do is change the password, it says it will allow me to change the picture, but when I try blank on the login screen is displayed. I can't change it even for standard user if I am logged in under the account of other admin. what I want to do is get rid of all my accounts and re-created them correctly like the one that I can't delete will sometimes pop up for password when I want to install something when I am connected with the other account.

  Is it possible to reset all our and start from scratch? I think it happened when I made some changed account policy local when I couldn't get a regular with my admin account setup program and now I don't know how to cancel it.

  I do not have to reinstall windows just to get this problem resolved... There must be an easier way.

  Thanks in advance

  Brenda

  For the guest account - I have a little poorly stated.  You * can * remove, but it is not recommended to perform this (possible to unintended consequences.)  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-desktop/deleting-guest-account/5a116d33-0056-47CA-B51A-b6615b90e160

  Administrator account - as far as I know you just cannot delete the built-in one.  Whichever one you can NOT remove - who is integrated. * smile *.

  Rename you accounts?  If not - it is one called "administrator."  Alternatively, you can use a registry setting to understand - but really the name should give it (if you have not renamed - and even if he did you rename... You renamed, you must know what you renamed to) the description of the account should be, "the computer or to the domain administrative account '...

  At the end of the day - you must remove only the accounts you know * you * created.  Ignore the rest.  Windows is/has been / will probably always be a multi-user even system when it is used by a single user.  He has accounts that are doing things in the background at almost any time.  Better than to let them be - unless you like instability.

  Whenever you install something (attempt to) as a normal user, it should appear and ask you an administrative level account - but you can select 'other' and put in ANY account of administrative level on this machine, you know the credentials. ;-)

• is it possible to copy "setup" (windows 8.1, office 13) for usb and transfer to XP where internet 8 crashed browser. I don't get the option to save the installation program

  I am trying to copy firefox USB of my laptop and install on the XP desktop according to the support forum: updated Windows Update then crashed Internet Explorer 8 on XP and now I have no internet connection on this computer (says error message unplugged)... I have windows 8.1 office 13 on my laptop. I don't get the option to save / download firefox run on the laptop, all automatic. Should I uninstall and reinstall? Maybe I can't transfer to XP in all cases. All non techno tips would be much appreciated. I spent many hours on it.

  This isn't the way Firefox is installed.

  Firefox 26.0 system requirements are here:
  http://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/26.0beta/system-requirements/

  You must have Windows XP SP2 if you use Firefox 26.0.
  Alternatively you can use older versions of Firefox here:

  http://FTP.Mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/Firefox/releases/

  edited by a moderator - all older versions of Firefox are available from Mozilla, no need to recommend 3 websites of third party who may have "added features" to their download of Firefox

• I uninstalled Photoshop CC and try to reinstall it, but I can't get the option to do so.

  I uninstalled Photoshop CC and try to reinstall it, but I can't get the option to do so.  My CC app Manager think I still have the app.

  This happens when Ps app is removed not uninstalled. So when you try to download, it shows you that the CC Ps is already installed.

  Run the cleanup tool to remove Ps CC:http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html . Restart the computer and then try to reinstall the Ps.

• Windows Vista startup in the Boot Manager Windows Im getting the message of File:\windows\system32\winload.exe and this isn't the start of the DVD

  Original title: Windows Vista upgrade to Windows boot disk boot manager is located in the computer but will not start up installation disc

  Im getting the message of File:\windows\system32\winload.exe

  Hi WillieGuyton,

  (1) since when are you facing this problem?

  (2) remember to make changes?

  (3) what is the complete error message you receive?

  (4) what is the number of brand and model of your computer?

  Method 1:

  Step 1: disconnect any external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

  If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

  Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the link below to access pre - install the system recovery tools.

  How to access the System Recovery Options menu?

  Run the tool to restart system as shown in the link below
  How to use Startup Repair?

  
  Method 2:

  Step 1:

  Set the first boot device in the DVD in BIOS to boot from the Windows Installation DVD. To do this, see the documentation that came with the computer.

  Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below for the restoration of the Boot Configuration database (BCD) store
