• I want to switch from XP to 7, but the Upgrade Advisor does not work; How will I know if my computer can handle?

  I'm worried that maybe I need to upgrade my computer before you upgrade to Windows 7, so I would really like to Upgrade Advisor to tell me what I need.  But whenever I try to run it, it just turns and turns and turns (I mean, more than two hours) without ever come up with anything.  So what I do now?

  If you want to know if your computer with Windows XP will be able to handle Windows 7, check system requirements Windows 7 on http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/system-requirements.

  Compare with your own system, right-click on the icon for my computer and then click Properties.

  As long as you an update from XP to 7, the only option you have is Custom installation so there is no sense to the current programs with Windows 7 compatibility check. The thing you should be concerned is the material part. Check the 3 main material that requires compatibility: CPU, RAM and disk space.

• Dv6t-7200 notebook want: how will I know if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10?

  I searched HP website to see if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10.  I also tried the plug assistant in charge of hp and he has just directed me to a page of sale on windows 10.  I don't want to mess up this computer and reload all the software, if it's not compatible.  Is there a list of compatible computers HP or an app that I can run to check?  I lost a lot of time looking for the HP support for this information.  Microsoft told to go to the manufacturer for this information.  Help, please.

  They are going to do this Web page to verify, you can maintain control, the link on the next page is still broken.

• Helps to know if my computer can run Windows 8.

  I am running Windows XP Pro SP - 3 on a Dell computer that I remember precisely the age.  When I try to run the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8, I get an error message saying that it is not a valid Win 32 application, and it will not work.  I was not able to find articles or messages by other people with this problem, so I'm at a loss to know how do I know if my computer can run Windows 8.  Any suggestions or ideas?

  My computer has a coprocessor 2 GHz and 3 GB of RAM, among other things, it seems that I should be able to make the transition.  But, how can I do to determine if I can't run the upgrade wizard?  I even tried Googling this issue, which usually find anything and cannot find any reference to this problem.  Any help will be appreciated.

  Hello Sarika

  Thanks for your help.

  It's not that simple I thought he'd be when I used your method that whenever I tried to uncheck 'Use graphics processor' Lightroom 6 crashed.

  At least you put me on the right track and I persevered and found the file relevant agprefs of Lightroom web help and followed the instructions to change manually.

  I have changed two files with the same name but stored in different locations.

  Everything works fine now.

  Thank you once again.

  My boss's mother got a call from scam you call Microsoft: your computer has a virus. They convinced her that they were trying to help.

  Its a total scam. Uninstall their software and then perform a system restore before you install.
  Change all your sensitive passwords at all sites - e-mail, Bank, credit cards and others. (Do not
  on the computer compromise and it would be better to do it on the phone or in person.)

  You can even restore your system to factory fresh to make sure their software violates not
  your security. (Ways to re - install Windows Clean - removing everything on the backup drive so all the data

  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

• How will I know that my computer is in the background?

  My computer is obviously something in the background as I hear it working, but I don't do anything in front of my computer and did not do anything.  How will I know what he does?  Could this be a virus?  How will I know?  I am running Windows 7.  I have Kaspersky anti virus 2013, but he says that it is up-to-date.  I looked at windows update, and he says that he has no significant update available.  So, update kaspersky and windows do not seem to do anything.
