I have just updated to windows 8 and I hate it.  How to return windows 7?

Hello

Clean, install your Windows 7 Media 7 or restore the Windows 7 System Image that you did before upgrading Windows 8.

If you don't have that:

The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

See you soon.

    I have just updated to Windows 7 and when I try to run a backup they fail.  It seems that whenever a program tries to update the external HARD disk where backups reside it requires administrator permissions.

    Looking at the options Microsoft suggest that their user account control system is not supported by my version of SyncToy. What can I do? I'm looged administrator

    As you have installed SyncToy until you have created the required permissions, uninstall SyncToy, reboot, then reinstall SyncToy.

  • I have just updated to windows 10 and I have no sound, everything else works fine

    I have no Audio, sounds or volume afte the update/upgrade of Windows 10. This is NOT the case yesterday when I don't have Windows 10 update/upgrade in my laptop Vaio from Sony. Everything works very well, is to take a mouse of logitech usb among other things. My Audio jack does not work for headphones will not do. I found an old usb headseat PS3 seems to work, according to this logic, a set of usb speakers would do the same thing. If you have a HD cable you can connect your laptop to an HDTV and use the TV speakers. What can I do to solve my audio problem?

    Go to control panel > system and security > system and to the left, click on advanced system settings. Once there, go to the Advanced tab, and under performance, click settings. Then, click on the Advanced tab, and under virtual memory, click on change. Now, I did uncheck automatically manage it paging file for all readers size and check again, but if this does not work I heard uncheck automatically manage paging file for all readers size and selecting size made on order and set the initial size and maximum size to 3072 should solve the problem. I hope this helps!

    Start the OS X App Store, then click on the item toolbar updates. V5.6.1 pages should be available, and this will open documents Pages ' 09, ' 08 and ' 06. In messages to this community, you should always share what version specific pages and OS X that you are currently using.

    Can I use the Vista license that I have just upgraded to windows 7 Upgrade a computer is currently using XP?

    Lol when you upgrade you send upwards with a license, not two. The license of Vista is subsumed in Windows 7 one and can no longer be used. This is the reason for which an upgrade is cheaper than licensed full.

  • A hard... I just updated my desktop PC and reloaded Lr 6

    A hard... I just updated my desktop PC and reloaded Lr 6, I've been using (and backup) on my old drive for several months (Sept. 15).  After wearing all my files across to the new drive before loading Lr 6 I was surprised when the Prog prompted me to upgrade my Lightroom Catalog 5 catalog at 6, I had assumed that he would have discovered my files catalog 6 already created?  Secondly, and probably related, she forced me to re import these images in Lr 6?  Can someone shed some light on these challenges please.  Bravo, Simon.

    Hi Simon,.

    6 Lightroom detects that the catalog already in use previously installed version of Lightroom. If you know where your catalog Lightroom 6, follow these steps: -.

    • Open Lightroom
    • Select file > open catalog
    • Are looking for, then choose your catalog Lightroom 6.
    • Select open

    Let us know if this helps
