I have a computer laptop g60-635dx. can I upgrade the graphics card on this laptop?
Hello
Here are the specs of your machine:
He uses: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 M, which is soldred to the motherboard so practically you can not change because you have to change the motherboard, to buy the new video card, to change the cooling system... all adding up will cost more than a new machine.
Kind regards.

Transfer Vista Business on XP Pro computer.
I have a desktop computer with Vista business I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and install Vista on a laptop that has XP Pro but is Vista capable.
Hello
If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere
It is part of the upgrade process
and also read this on licensing rules;
If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.
The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopIf a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.A single license is a single Installation.

Hi Johanna,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand that you can not use the USB in Windows 7.
I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this
1. you get any error message?
2 have you tried using different USB ports?
3. any other USB key works on the computer in question?
4. do the USB works on any other computer?
5 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?
Please follow the methods.
Method 1:
Run the Microsoft fixit for the link.
Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us
Method 2:
As all devices have same also have USB device associated drivers. Appropriate sometimes drivers not detected after initial installation so reinstalling the drivers can fix the problems.
You can check after uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers if you are able to connect. You can disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:
(a) click Startand then click Control Panel.
(b) click system and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.
(c) Note if the control panel is in Classic view, double-click Systemand then click on Device Manager.
(d) If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
(e) in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right click on the controller host, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
Check that if at all, there is an exclamation point on the pilot, it suggests problems with the installed driver.(f) repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.
Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.
We would be more than happy to help you if the steps above did not solve the problem.

I have a compaq presario desktop bought at walmart
I found the answer... the online HP chat support person told me that my pc both hardware and software have been bundles with windows 7, she then told me that she could sell me a new pc, a pc of the series P6100z with 320 GB hd and 2 GB of memory and a lot of things for a hugh discount It would include the windows 7 update. She said that the new pc sells for 299-499, but that she would give me a discount and sell it to me for 269.99... in any case, I ran the windows 7 upgrade advisor and it said that my computer can be upgraded to windows 7 32 bit home premium or ultimate. everything was fine... I should have know it was just the HP just lying to scare someone and sell another computer...

HP laptop purchased with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7 - laptop damaged
Hello
I bought a laptop HP with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7. Now, the laptop is damaged for the 2nd time. I would go for a locally assembled desktop computer with Intel, last configuration chipset.
Can I use Win Vista / Win 7 license key on my desktop? What installer I use (Win Vista or Win 7)? and how do I get the installer?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
PAL
Hello
You cannot transfer the license of Vista.
If Windows 7 Upgrade was not part of this upgrade offering free back then, you can transfer, but you need an operating system to be installed to upgrade.
Read this information and you will understand what I mean:
If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.
Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
See you soon.
