I have an old Dell Inspiron 15 with Vista Home Premium and want to switch to the window of 10. Y at - it a link to the free update or I must first upgrade to Windows 7 and upgrade them to Windows 10? Or could it be the Windows 10 Pro?
The free offer of Windows 10 is not available for Vista. You need to upgrade to Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1.

Try to upgrade OS 10.6.8 to El Capitan on iMac. But the FREE update tells me it can not install but will not say why even when I click on learn more. Suggestions? Help? Appreciate the assistance.
More details on the iMac you have and how much RAM is installed would certainly contribute to answering your question.

After that I installed the free updates to service pack 1, the system goes through 2 of the 3 steps, while it recharges, then the system does not boot? To get the computer to work again, I need to run the repairer of Windows, which allows you to restore the system to an earlier point? Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Do your system restore, then:
Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window
> then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it
> Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".
When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.
> or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it
See you soon.

If I reformat Windows XP in July 2014 can I still get all updates before April 2014?
How long updates XP until April 2014 will be available. If I reformat Windows XP in July 2014 can I still get all updates before April 2014?
I always use SCSI Plextor CDR recorders for time real 1 X duplication speed burn. I tried windows 7 32 bit with the Adaptec 2930 controller which is supported (32-bit only) card. But windows 7 do not like these CDR drives. I had to reformat back to XP pro.

I have 2 computers and 2 discs of software windows 7, but did not label them regarding that goes with which computer - how do I know?
They are the same version of windows? If so, it does not matter. If they are not: win + pause/break or start menu, make a computer right click, properties. This will pull up what edition you are running (32 or 64)

LR doesn't stop after the last updated only with force quit
Hi peterc48702056,
For Windows, I'd say to set the priority of the process in Lightroom as a via the Task Manager
For Mac, you suggested to copy the catalog to the location on the desktop or another location and then, check if the problem persists.
Kind regards

How can I get the free update to CS6?
How can I get the free update to CS6 promised when I bought CS 5.5 student edition? I bought 5.5 right before 6 is out and part of the package was that the upgrade was free when 6 is out.
I don't know if a promotion that has been designated two years ago is still in force today, but you can check with Adobe Support by chat or phone and find out. If the upgrade is still valid then they should be able to direct to the acquisition.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:
