  Hi Ribhu,

  How did you start the Windows XP installation? This is the start of the Windows CD or Windows itself?

  You can try a new installation of Windows XP after formatting the hard drive Vista and check.

  You can consult the following wire link and check if it helps.

• I have Vista Home premium and you want to install Windows Defender, but however get the 08x800106ba error message.

  I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

  Where should I go from here

  Hello

  You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

  Read about Defender:

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  .

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

• I have an old iso of windows 7 at my University and I want to install it on a new machine.

  I have an old iso of windows 7 at my University and I want to install it on a new machine. The terms of use of installation of mention that it subject to the original agreement of the University. I have graduated and am no longer a student. Can I use this iso standard and buy a product key after installation? Or I have to buy a new package of windows 7?

  If I can use the disk is it a place to buy a product key on microsofts website? I kind of remember a possibility to buy a key during the activation process, but I don't want to install this version and have to start over.

  I have an old iso of windows 7 at my University and I want to install it on a new machine. The terms of use of installation of mention that it subject to the original agreement of the University. I have graduated and am no longer a student. Can I use this iso standard and buy a product key after installation? Or I have to buy a new package of windows 7?

  Yes, you can use the same key and buy a new product key (same edition). Of course, you can simply buy a retail box package in order to get the key. There is no digital distribution of the keys (if you find one, they are illegal).

  If I can use the disk is it a place to buy a product key on microsofts website?

  No, you buy the retail package to get the key.

  I kind of remember a possibility to buy a key during the activation process, but I don't want to install this version and have to start over.

  You can try to use the key if you still have it and try the activation of the phone.

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
   
  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
   
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".
   
  (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
   
  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  I have baught a new portable computer and you want to install windows vista (32-bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do it with windows 7 (64-bit)

  the laptop contained Home Basic windows 7 (64-bit) and I want to install windows vista Home premium (32 bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do or tell me the parallel method to move a certain 32-bit operating system...

  I do not understand your question. If the laptop can run Windows Vista, it can probably run Windows 7 too.

  To run Windows 7 64-bit, the processor must be a minimum Core 2 Duo.

  System requirements:

  * 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

  * 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

  Hello

  The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...

  Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...

  The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...

  Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...
