I use my computer just for pleasure, not business. It came with Windows Vista. How will I know that I have? What is Windows 7, 8,9, thank you

What is the difference between Windows Vista and who is counted as the 7, 8, 9 or 10?

You seem to be confusing to the Windows operating systems (Vista, Win7, Windows XP, etc.) with Windows Internet Explorer.

If you have a Vista computer, you have Windows Internet Explorer 7 [AKA IE7], Windows Internet Explorer 8 [AKA IE8] or Windows Internet Explorer 9 [AKA IE9] installed.

Click Internet Explorer : help | Topic of [or use hotkey Alt + H + A].

    Hi Bobboberson,

    Click on the Start button and then click Control Panel. In Control Panel, click the system icon. The "Show the basic information about your computer" window. At the top of this window, you'll see a section marked "Windows Edition" you should see the words "Windows Vista (your editing, i.e. Home Premium etc) Copyright (c) 2007 Microsoft Corporation."

  • How will I know that my Windows product key is if one on the sticker that is located on the computer does not seem to work?

    You want more details. For two hours I answered all the questions that ask you that. And still no support. You up to the date of this laptop, every day at 03:00, so don't tell me the product key, which is on the back of this box is incorrect. Or that it is not the country I say. Just send me what is on the back of this box, which I paid too much for in the first place.

    We are not Microsoft. We are volunteers who give of our spare time to help people. Complain about Microsoft is a waste of time. We are in the same boat as you when it comes to most of the problems and not more control or access that you have to do.

    A product key is not in the box where everyone can see.  It is a sequence of alphanumeric 25 digit of 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes for the operating system.  If this is the original installation, the key will be on a label on the underside of the laptop.  It has been upgraded or purchased as a product of the retail (suggested by saying you that you have a box), then the product key for the product to the retail sales would have been on a piece of paper inside the box.  The product key on the label of the laptop would have been crushed (which would have been in the computer would have been product key from the manufacturer that could not be used to enable or provide proof) by installing the retail or upgrade.  Microsoft has no idea what is your product key regardless of the case - even if you bought them (unless it was by a download and then you should have an email from their share with the product key to this topic).

    If this is not a problem of activation or re-installing and that you have installed and activated the product yourself, try of Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and see if the product key, it reveals work best of all what you use now.

    I can't find where to know if I have a WiFi G or N on my computer. You just buy a wireless router but want to ensure that I had the right one and doesn't have too much spending.

    I can't find where to know if I have a WiFi G or N on my computer. You just buy a wireless router but want to ensure that I had the right one and doesn't have too much spending.

    If you have a N router you don't a spend too much.  Even if today it is not usable for a Wireless N network, it will be able to be used in the future.
     
    B or G if built as N is probably a relatively new final version of the standard.  Right click on computer or workstation.  On the left, click on manage, Device Manager, then click on the + mark next to network adapters.  The name of the wireless network card can show you in his name, or you can go to the web site of the manufacturer of the device and looking for the specs of the device.

  • How will I know which photos have been used in albums?

    Because other problems I've had with Photos and synchronization of devices (posted elsewhere) I found myself with a lot of duplicates. As I began the process of removing duplicate files, I realized that if I delete the images referenced in various projects and albums, I'll completely mess up their.

    Is there a way to know which files have been used in albums at the miniature scale, perhaps while the Info window is open?

    I know one can implement a smart album for photos that aren't in any album, but is not very useful when looking at the entire library and trying to determine what duplicates can be deleted because not all images in this smart album have duplicates.

    It's tricky in Photos, Pope.

    The only thing you can see in the overlays on the thumbnails Photos is Favorites icon and title, as well as a few other insignia, as edited. There are no visible flag or a color label.

    You could do your cleaning duplicate in PowerPhotos, were you can view the metadata more under the thumbnails, for example of keywords.

    Or the titles of all the photos used in the albums of prefix of a unique prefix, you can see under the thumbnails. You would need a script that do.
