I need to change the OS between my 2 computers (Windows XP and 7) where I can download the necessary files?

I have a laptop with a valid license of Windows 7 and a desktop computer with a valid XP license. I think I would get more use from 7, if it was on my desk and would be willing to downgrade my laptop to XP (it runs very slowly regardless). However because I bought the laptop with Windows 7 installed I have a Windows 7 disc. Where can I download or order a new copy of the disc?

UPDATE: The license I have is for Windows 7 Home Professional.
UPDATE: The license I have is for Windows 7 Home Professional.

There is no such thing as 'Friendly' - it is Home Premium or Professional.

As others have said - if your copy of WIndows came pre-installed, then they are OEM editions which cannot be transferred to another computer in all circumstances.

You can buy a license to upgrade to WIndows 7 for use on your desktop - but I suggest that you run upgrade first Advisor to ensure that the material can support the operating system properly.

Insofar as your laptop is slow, it's usually because of too much loading at startup, or malware.

Do you have an anti-virus installed up-to-date? When was the last time you ran a full system scan?

You have all the other anti-malware installed apps?

Check what programs are loaded at startup - and which are loaded as Add - ons for Internet Explorer. Use the options in the program to stop everything you must actually run at startup (you can test temproarily using MSCONFIG, but use the options of the program for more permanent effects.)

    I never had this problem when using XP, so why are administrator permissions so darn limited in Windows 7? And why does the system not recognize me as a member of the Administrators group? It's so frustrating.

  • Need to change default domain/user for logon in Windows 7 and Vista guest...

    I need to be able to change the default user domain\username login prompt. Team members where I work must be able to connect to a PC users perform a routine check, repair or warranty matenance etc and then reset the 'last loggon' to the user. This allows HIM to be able to hide our having been in their computer, a very important tool when doing security checks and looking for signs of use inappropriate computer, etc.

    In Windows XP, we could use the hack Reg next to reset the default journal, prompt the user and the domain, we need.

    These settings are in the reg of Win 7, but they don't seem to do anything.

    What should I do so that these rule parameters and take control of the journal prompt?

    Thank you

    PS... In my humble OPINION News groups were better...

    And now in recent years is the answer to my question... Where it should be in the group I had in there.

    I found the following .bat file will allow you to set the user name for the next log in Windows 7. (Copy the next lines of text in a text file and give it a .bat extension, then run it as a local administrator).

    Beginning of the .bat code to change the default name for the next journal newspaper in Win 7 *.

    REM echo off

    appeal reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI" / v LastLoggedOnSAMUser /t REG_SZ /d "Domain\Username" /f

    appeal reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI" / v LastLoggedOnUser /t REG_SZ /d "Domain\Username" /f

    pause

    End of code for Win 7, log name *.

    For Windows XP, the following .reg file can do the trick... Do the same as above, but use extension .reg...

    Beginning of. Code REG to change the username by default for the next log in Win XP *.

    REGEDIT4

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

  • I need to change the keyboard on Tecra M5

    Hello

    Unfortunately, this is not mentioned in the manual how to do this.

    Please advice.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best regards
    Wim Gijsels

    Hello

    I think that it s not mentioned in the manual, because I should only be made of professional technicians for laptop

    In any case, a friend of exchanged me the keyboard and told me to remove the keyboard first support. Who s the plastic cover between the keyboard and LCD display. So open the LCD screen and use your fingers on both sides and lift the keyboard bracket. There are two screws that attach the keyboard under the door-keyboard. Remove the two and lift the keyboard. Last but not least remove the keyboard plate to remove the cable from the keyboard connector.

    As you can read it's not that complicated and I hope I could help a bit! :)

    You will need a compatible CD/DVD player.
    Not all readers are supported due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    ODD, that uses wrong settings will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    You can buy a compatible player to a Toshiba ASP in your country.
    You can also consult your user manual.

  • Computer laptop need to change the HDD in the SDS?

    Have 3 questions related to the Toshiba SSD!
    1. what laptop need to change the HDD in the SDS?
    ATA, http://www.toshiba.com/taec/adinfo/ssdfacts/ so 1.8 and 2.5, I look at who is the same dimenssions and right?

    2. I have this model Toshiba R200-S2031, is it possible to change drive HARD 80-SSD 256 1.8 inches? I understand that my model has 1.8 IDE I can't take 2.5? But replace IDE ATA is possible that they are the same size?

    3. If I R500 with 64 SSD drive, can I replace it it with greater SDS and the same size of thumb? Let's say I have 2.5 64 GB SSD ich so I could replace it with 500 GB SSD?

    tnaks for answers.
    and Toshiba - thanks to make small laptops, really enjoy.
    you want to update faster, but I LIKE THEM!
    Thanks Toshiba!

    Husbands

    (1) as a general rule, all laptops can be upgraded to an SSD. If the connector on the SSD is the same as the original hard drive connector, it should work.

    (2) I believe there are 1.8 "PATA SSD available, google is your friend.

    (3) I think the R500 is using a connector ZIFF customized for the SSD drive, then you will not be able to install a standard SATA or PATA 2.5 "SSD Drive. I don't know if you can buy SSDS with the connector ZIFF, once again, google can help you.

  • I need to change the note/endnote.

    I write my RESUME, and I have a large number of appendages, that I have to put in the body of the text.

    I tried to do in the pages and the best option is to use an endnote, but I need to change the Exhibitor in order to appear ' doc 1 ' ' doc 2 '' ' doc 3 "" doc 4 "instead of"1""2"'3' '4' only." ""»

    Is this possible?

    Y at - it another option in addition to the note?

    Thank you

    No one who wants to get hired puts notes/endnotes in their curriculum vitae. If you do this, you write a report, not a professional CV, which should be in a concise and standardized format (mainly for the very picky, the applicant tracking software). I suggest that you omit the end notes/notes and do research on what constitutes a professional cover letter and resume writing for your job sector target.
