I have a desktop Dell 2012 running Win 7.

It has been a great machine, never had to reload the operating system or had problems. In fact I have not used a

anti-virus for the first 2 years. So when I started with a new ISP, I got it for free, so I thought I better use it.

I see the icon in the corner to upgrade to Win 10. Does anyone know when this opportunity ends?

I use an old copy of Microsoft office 2000. I use Word Excel & from time to time. I wonder if I update I

always be able to use this old man a copy of Microsoft Office. Anyone know?

The free update to win 10 through July 29, 2016.

You did not say exactly what PC you have but check if your model is on the list of the systems that Dell tested for their compatibility with Win 10.

Even if it is not on this list, it does not mean that your PC does not work with Win 10. It simply means that Dell will not support this model with the hardware drivers etc. So, you may have to dig a little on your own to find the correct drivers.

And you can always search these forums to see if anyone has reported the upgrade of your specific PC model to win 10 and what / any questions they may have.

You may have to install and run Office 2000 in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows (XP, for example) but do a google to see if anyone posted about it. Make sure that you have all your product keys for Office, etc.

NOTE: If you have a XPS 2710, do NOT upgrade to win 10!

  • I have a desktop Dell Windows 7, a Windows XP laptop computer and a range of printers HP 3050 has, but I can't get the laptop to Windows XP to print wireless.

    I have a new computer (Windows 7) Dell, a new printer (HP 3050 has) and a laptop with Windows XP.  I can't get my laptop to print.  I installed the software.  Help

    original title: Networking

    You use the HP 3050 has as a wireless printer, or have you connected it to the Windows 7 computer via USB?

    You have a wireless router?  What brand and model?

    Assuming the printer is wireless, what happened when you put the CD in the Windows XP laptop?  Although these printers can be installed manually, it is much easier to let the installer of HP to do.  This is page 3 of the "reference Guide" (emphasis added):

    You can share the printer HP Deskjet with other computers which are also connected to your home network. If the HP Deskjet is already connected to your network home and installed on a computer on the network, for each additional computer you install the HP Deskjet software. During the installation of the software, the software will automatically detect the HP Deskjet printer on the network. Because the HP Deskjet is already connected to your network, there is no need to configure it again when you install the HP Deskjet software on other computers.

    Please describe all the steps you have taken and the symptoms you have.  If you receive error messages, enter them completely, without paraphrasing.

  • My desktop Dell - Vista - computer does not, the monitor says no entry and have to wake up computer

    I have a desktop Dell Vista computer.  A few days earlier, when I pressed the power button to turn it on, nothing happened.  When I turned on the monitor, he says that he came into power saving mode.  When I checked the monitor once again, he said that there is no entry for the computer and press any key of the keyboard or mouse to wake up.

    The computer is plugged in and the green light in the back is on.  I don't remember putting the computer to sleep.  I thought I made a stop for a few days in advance.  Press and hold the power button on the computer does not start it or turn it off.  There is no sound (such as a fan).  I unplugged the computer briefly a few times, and then I finally unplugged overnight and is plugged in.  Light lights up in the back, but is not the "num lock" key on the keyboard and the light under the mouse does not light.

    I checked a few suggestions on this site, but they all require that the computer be on and you enter in this form or the screen.  Is the computer dead?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Attempt to connect wi fi on my Dell computer, running windows XP? Have DSL but not Ethernet. Faced with problems. Checked with CISCO router but not help there. CANY anyone help

    I have a problem connecting to a Cisco E100 router to my computer. My count (office) does not have a wireless. I have DSL from. Cisco tells me to plug a router using Ethernet cable to connect. I don't have an Ethernet connection on my computer. At present I have USB connect the computer to the Westell modem.  Can anyone help? I hope this is enough information. Basically what I'm hoping to do is to install the WiFi so I can use a tablet now and maybe a laptop this last on.

    Thank you

    On the routers only house you can use USB connections are those provided by some ISPs.  An Ethernet connection between the router and the computer is far more preferred.

    Your router a Cisco E1000 or is it really E100 (I thought that Cisco makes a model with this designation not)?

    It is quite surprising that you don't have an Ethernet connection that is built into your computer.  What is the complete model number (or, preferably, the Number of Service Dell)?

    Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK).  Expand the "Network card" category by clicking on the + next to him.  What devices are listed in this category.

    If you don't really have an Ethernet or an adapter wireless built into your computer, you can add one, using a PCI internal (if you have a desktop/Tower computer) or external (PC card for laptops) or USB to laptops or desktop/towers.

    Also, the normal configuration is to connect your DSL modem to the router and then the router to the computer.  If your Westell modem has an Ethernet connection, you must use your new router in a non-standard configuration.  Even if the Westell modem has an Ethernet port, you may need to do some reconfiguration for her as well.  What is the complete model of the Westell modem number?

If you click the icon it opens adobe reader. I deleted Adobe reader using Add or remove programs and the icons back to normal. Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.

  • Scanner EPSON Perfection V200 Photo: PDF button does not work since I use the scanner with an ASUS i5 running Win 7 Ultimate desktop computer.

    The PDF button does not work since I use the scanner with an ASUS i5 running Win 7 Ultimate desktop computer. I downloaded the 64-bit Epson software for the scanner.

    I found the solution to the problem, and it is indeed with the revised in Windows 7 Control Panel.

    Here how to solve the problem:
    Go to the control panel in Windows 7.
    Search scanner in the upper search box to the right
    You will see a "view scanners and cameras".
    Click it, you will see the Epson Perfection V200. Highlight.
    Click Properties, then Yes, then events.
    Where it says select an event, you MUST choose the event suitable for each option.
    To the Start button, choose Start the series of creativity
    For the copy button Choose launch Epson Scan
    E-mail button also Epson scan
    PDF includes Epson scan
    There you go.
    Now, all this was not necessary before, there are no instructions, and the fault lies with MS. how much more confused MS will do the control panel?

  • SMBus and usb drivers for Pavilion P6-2312ea running Win 7 x 64 3

    Hello

    My step daughter has finally threw his arms up in the air and agreed that win 8 is more pain on a desktop that is worthwhile and is not for her.

    We have installed Windows 7 64 bit and are now just trying to find the compatible drivers for SM Bus controller and usb 3.0.

    I'm assuming that the drivers for usb 3.0 as the keyboard and mouse are ok, just the 2 front usb 3.0 do not work (although that seemed to have given up after a week).

    We executed the 'original' pilots when he was running Win 8 x 64, but they don't seem to have. Maybe a compatibility problem, can be me as it was very early this morning when I gave up for a while.

    Any help/pointers gratefully received

    TIA
