I have a disc external hard cloned with Windows XP - can I use it in a dual boot with Windows 7 if both are 32-bit
I wish I could plug cloned this external USB hard drive with XP on it and use it with the computer that has Windows 7 installed on it. Now Windows 7 is need to be installed on the computer and I have a choice of 32-bit or 64-bit when I re-install. It helps to use 32-bit on WIndows 7?
No, Windows XP must be installed on a locally attached drive (internal). You won't be able to boot from it on an external hard drive.

Using an external hard drive with Windows 7
I soon moved to the States but won't my Pc for a while once there. I intend to take an external hard drive with me to use with your laptop, once arrived in the States. As the laptop will probably have Windows 7 preinstalled, I'll be able to use the data on my drive that came from a Windows XP Pro operating system. Data such as Word, doc, Excel, doc, internet web pages. I do not know the media items will be ok, but not sure about programs etc.

Yes (assuming that the laptop has the necessary applications installed, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and everything you use for your media files or applications).

How to get personal files on a backup external hard drive for windows 7
How to get files from a backup external hard drive for windows 7 pro. ? I DON'T WANT TO RESTORE WINDOWS 7, JUST MY PHOTOS & DOCUMENTS. TO THANK THE TAXI 53 DRIVER
Hello
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.
Thank you for details on the issue.
You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.
If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.
I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

Discs CD - R burned with the Finder in Yosemite are unreadable by other players of CD despite the burned music files individual, .aif format. When it is burned with iTunes, all right. Any ideas?
A CD to use in an Audio CD drive must be formatted as an Audio CD.
Finder cannot create an audio CD, instead, it creates a data CD.
Therefore, use iTunes to create create an Audio CD.

I have to save files in the creative cloud, or can I use a local file server?
I have to save files in the creative cloud, or can I use a local file server for sharing in exercise?
You are not required to save the files in the creative cloud.
Storing files online is simple and an additional service, but there are several advantages:
- Your file is saved online in which case the file is accidentally deleted locally or your hard drive fails.
- Previews of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop files in the web browser for someone who doesn't have these programs and would not be able to view the image file.
- Share the file with another allowing them to comment on and download.

Licensing
I have a copy of windows vista that I installed on my laptop, I am looking to buy a new PC soon, what I have to buy a new copy of vista, or can I use my code on my new PC? I do not plan to use my laptop again once I get this PC is it possible to transfer the license via?No problem.
First of all, backup all your data of the laptop if you have not already.
When you have done this, the best way to do this is to delete the partition with Vista on it. See the website below for more information:
http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm
Once you have finished deleting your partition, the laptop will have nothing about it, so you can choose to reinstall an earlier version of Windows or simply put away to deal with later. You can now legally install the copy of Windows Vista on your new machine.
