• Windows vista ultimate 32 bit OEM

  I am wanting to install vista ultimate 32 bit OEM on my pc that I screwed up the download of Windows 7 beta. I come to the world of pc to buy and they told me that I have to take my pc to them for them to install it for a fee. They told me everything you get in the box is a key code and no disc. Could someone tell me if this is correct?

  Hi Seansnr,

  First of all, if you buy a copy of Windows Vista OEM, make sure that the DVD is the company that allows a computer.  An OEM Dell DVD won't work on a HP or gateway and vice versa.

  Personally, if I had to buy it I insist on a DVD and not from someone who says they can install for a fee, and then provide would not buy any media where you will need to re - install in the future.

  You could also buy a copy of the sale at retail of Windows Vista, or order an OEM DVD from the manufacturer of your computer.  They can also provide one for a low cost, if it wasn't origionally came with the computer.

  If you are interested in a copy retail, they may be ordered and even downloaded directly from Microsoft.

  Can I install lightroom 5 on Windows vista home 32 bits andhow many computers can I install it on? I'm afraid that if my computer rejects lightroom I will get a second chance.

  Bunkieboy,

  Lightroom 4 and later will not install or run on the 32-bit editions and 64-bit of Windows XP Edition family or professional

  Lightroom 5 et seq. will not install or run on 32-bit editions of Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1 for Windows and Mac OS 10.6.x

  Lightroom CC will not install or run on Mac OS 10.7.x

  Please see system requirements for Lightroom for more information.

  You can install and activate the perpetual software (purchased) two computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you use it one at a time. Lightroom is the exception because it is a cross-platform product, so it can be installed on the pc and mac platforms.

• Upgrade Vista Home, 32-bit

  I am currently on Windows Vista, 32-bit Edition. I have problems to increases.

  Can I upgrade Windows 7 or 8?  and if so will lose program data and files saved on my current computer?... have a lot of photos, saved emails, financial program (Quicken), etc.

  Is it better to try the upgrade... or grit their teeth and replace the PC?

  Bob

  Hello

  Microsoft is no longer selling Windows 7.

  You can upgrade to 7, but 8.1 is a clean install.

  Windows 10 came out at the end of this month and 64-bit, is that computers in popular way will these days

  If it was me I would replace it as the material probably should be upgraded for the use of later operating systems taking into account the age of a computer with Vista.

  But here's a guide for the upgrade.

  Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

  Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

  "Windows 7 system requirements"

  Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.

  Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8 drivers available for your model.

  If this is not available, Windows 8/8.1 not install and work properly for you.

• Drive hard error detected on the HP Pavilion dv6835nr with Vista Home Premium bits

  Lately, my laptop has been slow to start. Yesterday, after control electronic, I noticed the screen turned black and only 3 icons were visible: Trash, Firefox and File Recovery... And a lot of small cascade titled windows: System message. and a file recovery window appears and scans to find out the necessary repairs. The message is "your computer is in critical condition. Hard drive detected error. "7 questions of repair, the next screen offers to upgrade my 'demo' (don't have the slightest idea what they're talking of)

  When I click here to activate it, they want to buy such a product.

  Is this a scam or a virus? How can I fix this problem.

  HP Pavilion dv6835nr

  Processor Intel Core 2 duo T5550

  with 250 GB HDD

  3072 MB DDR2 SDRAM

  Please help me...

  Hello:

  Yes, you should try it but do not for get rid of the virus. The drive is bad, but you can try to recover the files you want to keep using this disc.

  The GUI will allow you to explore your hard drive and if there's still life in it, you may still be able to see and copy your files to a storage device portable usb.

  If the Kaspersky Rescue CD cannot access your hard disk, then all is lost.

  Things to consider... dv9000 models are plagued by questions of the motherboard and you can opt for a new PC, rather than fixing you.

  I do not work for HP, so I don't have to think that you buy a new laptop, but you have to consider the possibility of throwing good money after bad.

  If you decide to buy a new hard drive, you can get a 7 200 RPM one which has better performance on a disk of 5 400 rpm, but it shorten the time between charges of battery a bit.

  You will also need to buy a set of recovery disks.  Info to do this is on the link below:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

  If you can still read the Vista product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop, you can also make your own Vista installation DVD.

  Here's how:

  If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

  You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

  The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

  The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

  When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

  After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.
