I need information about upgrading Windows XP to Windows 7.

original title: install W7

My question is perhaps a basis, however I don't know the official response.

I have a XP W operation and I am wanting to move to W7...

However, I bought an upgrade from Best Buy and noticed that on the label it says, "Designed for Vista..." Will it work for my desktop with XP?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thank you

Hello

You cannot perform an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 However, a custom installation can be performed.

 
To upgrade your Windows XP computer to Windows 7, you will need to select custom during installation of Windows 7.
 
Important: A custom installation keeps your programs, files or settings. It is sometimes called a 'clean' for this reason installation. Back up your data before performing any installation of Windows.

    Satellite Pro A10 two memory locations are available. Laptop computer can manage with 1 GB of RAM and you can use two compatible PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51) modules.

    This old machine uses 2.5 HDD with old IDE connector. I found some info that it has been bundled with 20GB, 30GB and 40GB HDD. I think you can improve it with up to 100 GB HARD drive but just to be sure he has the same connector on the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.
    For more information after the exact model number please.

    Hello

    1 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

    Please follow the steps in the link.

    Important: before you perform an upgrade in-place, you must be prepared for the worst scenarios that led to your existing data on your computer being deleted.

  • Need information about Satellite L30-134

    Hey, I know this off another machine brand new Tablet and all, but hey, I can't find a single web page with information on this machine other than what is in the manual sold with the laptop.

    I like a seasoned PC enthusiast I had a lot of questions about this machine also, (I'm already impressed with its capabilities for the price you get really shot for your bucks...) I would like to know the socket U23 does not say my much.

    Can I upgrade the processor? The BIOS is also very limited. Y at - it an upgrade? I would like to know if I can disable smart perform duel memory modules or change the amount of memory dedicated to graphics? I was seriously thinking of launching a forum of my own to find out these mysteries, after all it is a popular purchase, I saw two other people, the purchase of this machine on the same day as me...

    I need input, anyone can meet my desire for more information?

    Hello Tom

    Weather, you are passionate about PC, but I fear that you will be a little disappointed because with laptops you can not do much. I hope you know a lot about desktop computers and upgrade opportunities. The situation with laptops is completely different. Upgrade opportunities are minimal and there is not much to do.

    When you buy from office, you will get a user manuals of motherboard with all the information about it. Computer laptop manufacturer doesn t give something like that because there is no possibility of upgrade for processor and graphics card. The construction of the laptop is very complicated and many powerful hardware components are placed on the very small box. A common problem with laptops is cooling and how to remove the heat.

    Laptop manufacturer has two priorities: build the right machine and also build with unassailable cooling system to protect the material and portable secure long life. There are many things that must work harmonic.

    You can upgrade RAM to HARD drive, but not anymore. Using different settings, you can try to improve your laptop for use. All that s!

    Through Satellite L30 really isn't the best Toshiba laptop and one of the units of low-budget and you can not expect impressive performance.

  • Need information about the data included in the example for the inner race with flaws

    Hello

    There are several examples for fault detection in bearing (Vibration tool sets). I need more information about these data include:

    -Bringing its specifications

    -How to perform data acquisition

    -a link to the tutorial

    I came across this manual that shows how to use OATS envelope detection VI to perform detection of failures of bearings.

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/372416A-01/svtconcepts/cst_speed_brg/

    It lists the specifications of turnover:

    • Inch diameter 0,2813

    • Primitive diameter: 1,1228 inch

    • Speed: 1 234 RPM

    It also goes to the list of characteristic frequencies determined by these attributes.

    The data acquisition is carried out by the use of an accelerometer and a tachometer. These devices measure the vibration and the rotation speed of the bearing data. Failure detection uses a method called detection of the envelope to look at the signals of the bearing and compared to signals of standard bearings to the discovery of flaws. You can learn more about the method of acquisition of data here:

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/372416A-01/svtconcepts/fault_detection/#Envelope_Detection

    The first link is a tutorial on the detection of failures in the bearings. The end of the link provides the location of an example VI that may also be useful.

  • Need information about HDD upgrade on Equium A100-027

    HI people :-)

    Can I change the HARD disk drive in my Equium a100 027 for one with a speed of 7200 RPM?

    If not what is the largest size of HARD drive I can put in?

    It is also useful to do a lot to make a dual boot with Vista and XP or get one with Vista and the other drive with XP

    Someone can also point me in the direction of the place where to buy the right type of player with the correct connection... its SATA I think

    Thanks in advance for your help

    In my opinion, you can use the HARD drive with the speed of 7200 RPM. I put t really see no reason why this should not be possible!

    It is important that you buy a HARD drive with the interface supported and the size of the HARD drive.

    You are right; Equium A100 supports SATA HDD interface.
    You must not use SATA and IDE hard drives!

    According to some internet sites, the laptop came with 80 GB HARD drive.
    I presume that you should be able to upgrade the 120 GB HARD drive, but this is just a suggestion because Toshiba does not have any official information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

    Best regards
