  I want to try Ubunta as my operating system. Someone has already tried this and how is it?

  If you want to try, there are various options partitions for you. One is to download the files and bvurn on a CD. Boot from the CD and choose to run Ubuntu from the CD. This method does not offer a realistic experience, but it allows you to try the look-and-feel.

  Alternatively, you can install the virtualization software (Sun Virtual Box, for example) and install Ubuntu to.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  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.

  How to extend my C drive volume in Windows 7, so that the disc I want to merge in drive C is not adjacent to the C drive, please help

  Jackin salvation,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  When resizing of volumes in Windows7, you must be aware of the following criteria:

  • Only you have the possibility to reduce or enlarge NTFS or RAW (unformatted) partition using Windows 7 tools.
  • When you shrink a partition, files not movable as a page file or a shadow storage area are not resettled. This is why you cannot reduce the size of the Windows beyond volume where these types of files. If you need to reduce the volume, you will need to remove, move or delete the page file or the shadow first storage area, and then reduce the volume and then add the page file or shadow storage on the disk area.
  • If enough bad clusters are found on the disk partition will not shrink.
  • You must be logged on to an administrator account in order to resize Windows Volumes in windows 7.
  
   

  Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes of shrinkage

  This section shows must shrink a Windows volume or partition. To do this, we must open the Windows 7 disk management tool. The following steps will guide you in this process.

  1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop , and then click the Control Panel menu option.

  2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

  3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

  4. Double-click the computer management icon. The console of the computer management will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

     
  5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'm going to resize the partition E: of 16 GB so that when completed, there is a 8 GB partition and provides another 8 GB of free space I can use for other purposes.

     
  6. To shrink the partition, just click with the right button on the partition that you want to work with and select reduce . In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, I select shrink.

  7. A screen similar to the one below appears. This screen indicates the size of the current partition you, how you can reduce it to a field where you can enter a specific amount to reduce, and then how big partition will be once it shrinks. By windows 7 default enters the maximum amount that you can reduce the volume, but if you want to change this amount, do so by entering the amount in MB in the enter the amount of space to shrink in MB: field. When you are satisfied with how windows 7 will shrink the partition, click the minimize button.

     
  8. Once windows 7 is complete decreases the volume, you will be in the disk management screen, but now the partition size will be the size you requested as shown below.
  

  Now that you have reduced the size of your volume of Windows, you can close the computer management console.

  You have now finished reducing your score and you have the extra space available for use as required.

  Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes extension

  This section shows that you must extend a Windows volume. To do this, we must open the tool of disk management where we can resize our volumes. The following steps will guide you in this process.

  1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop, and then click the Control Panel menu option.

  2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

  3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

  4. Double-click the computer management icon. The computer management console will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

     
  5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'll extend the E: partition so that it uses the rest of the available space on the disc 1.
     
     
      
  6. To extend the partition, he just click right-click on the partition that you want to work with, and then select the Extend option. In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, select Extend.

  7. A wizard appears as shown below. Press the Next button to continue.

     
  8. A new screen, shown below, is displayed allowing you to select the free space available on your local hard disks that you can use to extend the space of the selected partition. It is important to note that Windows 7 allows you to extend a volume using free space on the same drive as well as the other disks. I strongly suggest that you do not extend a volume on a disk with free space of the other. It is because if one of the disks has a hardware failure, then all data on this volume will be removed. Rather just to use the free space on a drive that contains the volume you extend
     .

     

     As discussed in step 5, for this tutorial we are going to extend my 8 GB partition (drive E :) to the total size of disk 1 using all the available space. As disk 1 is only available free space on my computer, windows 7 automatically select as shown in the image above and use the maximum amount available to extend the partition. If there were other drives with free space that they have shown during the selection available . If you want to extend the volume to a lower amount you can change in the Select the amount of space in MB: field. In the contrary case, press us the button Next .

  9. You will be now be presented with a confirmation screen. If you are sure you want to extend the volume, press the Finish button. Otherwise, press the back button to make changes or the Cancel button to cancel this operation.

  10. Once Windows 7 completed to extend the volume, you will be on the screen disk management, where you can see the amount that you have extended with the new size. An example of this is shown below.
  

  At this point, you can close the Management window of the computer that your task is completed.

  Hope this information is useful.

  It is a scam.  Tell them that put you your list of calls only.  If you have a way to block their number, too.  If they don't stop, report them to the Better Business Bureau.

  There have been several versions of Windows, from 1.0. See

  Older versions are used very rarely nowadays, but it is likely that
  that even the very old are probably still used on some very
  old computers somewhere. But something older than Windows XP is
  probably used very rarely.

  Why do you ask?
