• Please specify: can I make Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64 bit) for $40 with a clean install?

  Hiya!

  Looking to upgrade, but I don't want to upgrade in the usual way. I want a clean install.

  I don't want to format the HARD drive and install from scratch. I might even want to buy a SSD and install Windows 8 on my new SSD.

  Basically, is there a way to only pay $40, but get to install it properly?

  Is this ok? He's trying to force me to buy the OEM version?

  How does it work?

  Oh, also, I'm in England so I'll use the UK (£25) version rather than the American version, but it's the same I think.

  I was wondering if it will not work properly or if I have to buy the OEM version, because it does not recognize that I have had Windows 7 originally.

  See you soon!

  Select keep anything during installation is to do a clean install:

  

  Besides being able to keep your Windows settings and personal files, you can keep your personal files too during the upgrade to Windows 7. If you choose No, Windows 8 place your files in a folder named Windows.old. You can delete the Windows.old folder

  How to reinstall Windows 8

  You have two options:

  If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

  Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

  Option 2:

  If you create an installation DVD or a USB bootable, you can use them to reinstall Windows. First, you will need to reinstall license qualification, then begin the upgrade to Windows 8. License of qualification means that you will need to reinstall Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

  Option 3:

  A workaround for this situation is to create a system image of Windows 8, just after you have upgraded. So if your drive plant, you can simply restore the image on a new hard drive or restore the image on the same drive, if you want to reinstall Windos 8.

  See the following for instructions on how to create an image of the installation process of Windows 8:

The virtual machine "put" file installs and then restarts.  During the configuration phase it reboots it gets 94% done gives a message 'update failed' and said that no files have been modified.  I redownlaoded the file and reinstalled several times.  I changed the bios to make sure that hardware virtualization is enabled.  All tests that microsft has said that my Machine is fine.  However I can not get the software\update of the virtual machine in order to install properly.  Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.  Bruce

• Win7 Pro with virtual XP

  Hello.

  I have win7 Pro and downloaded Virtual PC and XP mode. This worked OK 1st time and then I had to recover the drive hard back to the value by default after losing the startup file. Since then, I can't XP to initialize. A text box appears after the configuration page of the password with the "the virtual machine configuration could not be created. User does not have sufficient access rights.

  A .vhd file is then created in the virtual machine folder, but I can't get the program to run. At the register anything to do with this? I uninstalled XP mode and the Vitual PC update several times and they reloaded with nothing will do.

  Hello

  Maybe your registry is confused until this topic very well, but is recommended to install the Virtual Machine Manager Configuration Analyzer 2007.
  It is a diagnostic tool that verifies the configuration settings for your computer that are important to the performance of Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager.

  I also found a page of Microsoft about installing and using Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

• Impossible to install Win7 PRO 64 on clean Machine

  Well, I have this problem, but in a rather unique situation.

  Have a HP 8200 workstation I know works - I have formatted a SATA HDD & installed - set the BIOS to make the reader of CD/DVD boot priority. The Machine recognizes the presence of the hard drive & I can do display a message "Press any key to boot from the CD/DVD" - it is said he had try to bbot from the CD & then it just displays the message "BOOTMGR is missing, press Ctrl Alt Del to restart", and this with a new PRO 7 64 drive is in the drive.   The CD blinking like crazy, but it's like he's going.

  Also tried to get the installation to start with a XP installation CD older - same thing.  Is there any chance the "Bootmgr" there need is a function of the BIOS?

  I try to do a clean install of the operating system, but cannot get the Windows installation to start - Help!

  Its likely the installation media is damaged or scratched. I would try to get a new copy and try again.

• Help with a clean install of W7 upgrade DVD on SSD student.

  A 32-bit Vista running, upgrading to 64 - bit by doing a clean install on another drive (SSD).  It works fine, except that the old man is still "System" drive and I can't start with the SSD as boot drive.  And when I boot the old disk I have the option to load Vista or W7.

  I'm confused on what actually the upgrade disc.  Do I have some of the Vista on the SDS files to get W7 to install correctly - or is a new installation, a clean install?  I guess I'm looking at another facility (~ 6 hrs.) because I don't have my drive correctly partitition or something.

  I've never had this problem before loading a new OS.  I don't know if it's the SSD, the upgrade method used or old age which is the cause of my problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• El Capitan upgrade must be done with a clean install?

  Hello

  El Capitan upgrade should be done with a clean installation, as opposed to an upgrade?

  I don't know how to do this, or what are the advantages and disadvantages?

  This means all the software on my computer is deleted and I need to re - install all the applications (if installing a clean)?   I think not so thought I had better ask!

  If you have existing question in your system current, then things could get worse if you upgrade simply. My personal choice is always do a clean install of newest version of Mac OS X.

  How to perform a clean install of OS X El Capitan on your Mac.

  Be sure to save the installer in the downloads before installation folder, otherwise it will be deleted once the installation is complete.

  You can create an installer of flash of El Capitan via the Terminal drive. El Capitan has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

  You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

  Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

• Problems installing driver with a clean install of Win7 on envy hp 15 t - j100.

  I was able to install Windows 7 Pro USB on my laptop.  The drivers that I downloaded from hp site have errors when I try to install.  Most of them said that the driver was not installed correctly and gives the opportunity to try again or did it install correctly.  I tried to reinstall, reboot, etc.

  One of my biggest problems is that I can't connect to wifi even if I use the recommended drivers.  When I tried the NVidia driver, he did not recognize the card on my device and I cannot adjust the screen resolution.

  Should I have installed the drivers in a specific order?  Thank you!

  That's ok.

• Posture EHT IE Web redirect Win7/8 with Anyconnect already installed?

  Having a problem where I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 clients connecting to the wireless network, they already have Anyconnect 4.3.x installed with posture ISE seeking AV installed.  When the AuthZ for EAP chaining rule see posture status equal to a stranger when a user logs into it immediately turn on IE and tries to do a web-based ISE posture check.  But if you wait a little, Anyconnect runs and performs a check of posture ISE itself and ends.  And then of course a certificate of authenticity occurs and the status changes to access compliance/permits.  But this IE window for ISE posture is still sitting there.

  Its crazy my simulated production group.  Its as web redirection does not know that Anyconnect is already on the box.

  I talked to TAC, they suggested, it is a problem with IE and there is no config ISE to correct this problem.  Does anyone know the key "reg" to disable this behavior?

  Also, my concern is that once this behavior is disabled in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, users then when connecting to networks managed by ISE comments won't redirect web authentication.  However my Windows 10 users don't see never the ISE web posture auth redirect, but they do not... as expected... a redirect comments network web auth.

  Outside by his summer suggested that the "reg" windows 7/8.1 key 'HotspotAuthentication' is the problem.  Set this to zero does not solve the problem.  Active Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\HotspotAuthentication = 0

  source of confusion.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  As a side note I would be thrilled to be in the image of all the files in the machine and not necessary to use the provisioning client to trigger the posture of the ISE, feature request.

  If remember correctly,

  If your network changes, windows did a test NCSI (network connectivity status indicator),

  with DNS and one http request. This forced test your browser to bring up a window.

  I think you have three choices:

  -If the machines are managed by you

  1, you cah turn off this feature. In this case, you lost the internet detection windows feature

  2, you can change the address shown by default http://www.msftncsi.com (multiple ip) to a simple outside IP, and after that you have an entry to the ACL redirect to allow traffic to this IP without redirection

  If the machines are out of your control

  3, you can build a complex ACL redirect, witch will allow traffic to the ip address that is resolved by www.msftncsi.com. I have a large collection of a (attached) gethostbyname crontabbed, he entered 246, but you can reduce it to the largest subnet 4-5. I think that it is not a big risk to allow this traffic when the redirection is active.

• Satellite Pro A100-830 - clean install of Windows 7

  I want to install a new larger HARD drive in my machine and want to try Windows 7 while keeping XP Pro on the old HDD (just in case).

  All the world did this on this machine?

  Were there a driver or compatibility problems?

  The machine is certified "Vista Capable" so must deal with Win7 if the drivers are not a problem.

  You can install Windows 7 on this laptop.
  It shouldn't be a big problem.
  IF you miss a few drivers, then you can search for these drivers manually.

• Can I use a product key UPGRADE from 32-bit Windows 7 to a new clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  In 2009, I upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 32 bit. This laptop recently died and is no longer in use.

  I am building a new computer and I want to install it on Windows 7 64 bit (there no initial operating system because it is a made to measure machine).
  Can I install Windows 7 64 bit on the new machine and then use the old product key, that I received in 2009, even though it was a upgrade for the 32-bit product key?

  If its a version upgrade, the answer is no.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Permissions insufficient to complete the operation after a clean installation of Adobe Bridge in Win7 Pro

  Three installed days ago Adobe photography CC bundle, which includes Photoshop CC, CC LR and bridge. I've never had this software on my computer before. I am running Win7 Pro with all updates installed. I'm on a single computer, only user with administrative rights.

  I wanted to use the extended features of the bridge to reorganize my D about 30,000 files raw drive photo library. I moved a folder to a new location without any problem. Unfortunately, now I am more able to move, copy, rename, or delete files in Bridge after moving only one folder. I got the message that I had insufficient administrative rights to complete the operation. I have administrative rights. Why could I offers a folder but not others?

  I tried to rename, move files with Windows Explorer, but got the message: you need administrator rights to complete this operation. I clicked on the button continue and the operation is complete.

  I spent two days several hours the Webchat and nearly five hours on the phone with Adobe support technology. We found in the 'Hidden' administrator I can complete all the actions file/folder without problem. However, I can not yet perform the same operations in my original user account, and I repeat, with administrative rights! This has been verified to the DOS prompt.

  Adobe technology had me reset the permissions in the folder Adobe Advanced Security/owner of the tabs, but nothing helped. I can not yet use this expensive software due to problems of Windows permissions. Also note that the UAC is in its default settings. Windows warns far from reducing the lowest.

  I've scoured the Microsoft Windows website for answers and found no that relate to my situation/scenario.

  Help, please!

  The unknown account is referred to an account that you deleted from this machine. You must now seize the property of the D: drive, the new permissions recursively apply.

• Issue of license upgrade: Windows XP Home - > Win7 Pro?

  Microsoft licenses allow an install WinXP Home to upgrade to Win7 Pro through the 'Upgrade' of Win7 Pro edition?

  Thank you

  Microsoft licenses allow an install WinXP Home to upgrade to Win7 Pro through the 'Upgrade' of Win7 Pro edition?

  Thank you

  Yes, Windows XP Home Edition can be an eligible license, but you will need to do a custom installation, there is no direct upgrade path from it.

  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  
  

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  
  

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

  
  

  
  

  
  

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.
