I want to install Windows 7 on a Dell Latitude D820 laptop. What is the status of having drivers required, as Dell does not offer any on their support site for Windows 7 on this model?
Whenever I install Windows XP on it, I have to go to the Dell support site and get the chipset drivers Intel, network, audio and video for all the work. XP is the original version, and then I have to install the SP2, SP3 followed.
Should I do the same thing during the installation of Windows 7? Get the drivers for the various components to work? Or Windows 7 will make installation much simpler?
Hello GJ_IJBC,
Your best option will be to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. This will give you a screen that will tell you which drivers will be required as appropriate with what program incompatibilities there might be.

When click on Firefox-> Add - ons, the new Add-ons Manager opens in a new tab. It shows the links to the page Get-addons, Extensions, appearance, Plugins and Scripts (for Greasemonkey) user in the menu on the left. All these excellent work except for the tab 'Extensions', which says that I have no extensions. However, in the lower right of the window, icons for extensions, I was using Firefox 3.6 appear as they did in this version of the browser. All my previous extensions are fully functional. Is there a way I can re - access the menu for the configuration/uninstall/disable them? Thank you very much to all those who are ready to help!
You seem to have been using this profile with some testing of Firefox version according to the presence of many extensions.checkCompatibility. * prefs in your list of system details more.
You may create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See:
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I am using windows 7 on my computer, but I want to install windows xp too. The version of win7 do not accept this for compatibility reasons. is there a solution? (it is said that the version of windows 7 is more recent and it is the reason why cannot accept the addition of windows xp aas alternative software)
Three options.
(1) start from the XP CD, format the HARD drive, create TWO partitions, install XP on the first then the second 7.
(2) use virtualisatioin if your machine it handles pretty well. Install Virtual PC or VMWare Server and install XP on a virtual disk.
(3) (easiest if you have Pro 7, Ultimate or Enterprise) download and install XP Mode

Original title: windows 7
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

I just bought a Dell XP Home Edition Inspiron 530 Intel duo used 2, Ubuntu operating system. I want to install Windows 7 or 8 instead and have Outlook Express. How do I do it and about what it will cost? And Yes, I am computer illiterate.
If you want Outlook Express, you must then, Windows 7 Professional, which will allow you to download and install Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode, to run Outlook Express.
Windows 7 Professional cost.
Where can I still get Windows 7?
Full version - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade
Microsoft Store:

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.

in fact, I want to install windows os (not authentic) because I'm fond of counter strike
so, mac support this game?
or it takes 8 GB ram to play counter strike?
operating system windows (not authentic) will cause no effect on mac?
If I install the windows on mac operating system, I will award 58 GB in the windows operating system and remains to mac, goes no problem in the future, due to the windows operating system?
ALSO POINT OUT THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING WINDOWS ON A MAC.
operating system Windows (not authentic)
This means that you ask for assistance on the use of a pirate copy of Windows?
If you install Windows, you have the advantage of being able to run Windows and the inconvenience of having to deal with all the viruses and stuff for which Windows systems are prone.
Why not just buy the Mac version? It seems relatively inexpensive: http://store.steampowered.com/app/730/

I want to install windows xp A200 1 M 4...
What do I do?Please answer my question.
Hi hilalay
In this forum, you will find hundreds of similar questions / answers
I put t know what you want to know exactly, but the point is that your laptop A200 - 1 M 4 seems to belong to the series of PSAE0E.Choose this slot serial number form download if you need XP compatible drivers.
The XP installation is not difficult. You must include the SATA driver in the XP CD. This is necessary in order to make the visible HARD drive and reinstall XP.
[Check this way to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]
Finally, install all drivers Toshiba XP available and enjoy.
By the way; the update of the BIOS XP would be desirable also because without BIOS XO some FN buttons will not work correctly.
