I want to install windows 7 Professional on desktop pentium 4.
I have driver something GMA graphics and windows xp. So what do I do to install 7
You should go to the motherboard manufacturer website and check that the Windows 7 drivers are available for this purpose.
If there is NOT a full set of drivers, don't expect anything other than poor performance. Sometimes, it is better to run the original operating system...

Original title: installation of Windows 8.
If you bought a laptop and you want to install Windows 8 Professional, can install you it directly or you must have a base like Windows 7 Stater license?
Hello
The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...
Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...
The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...
Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...

I installed Windows XP Professional on MacBook Pro with a Windows XP CD is a Dell machine.
I want to activate windows now, but I came to know that the Windows XP Professional license is no longer available on the market.
Please guide me this license to purchase to activate it?
If the Windows 7 key can activate windows XP Professional?
I don't want to go to Windows XP Mode because we have one standard on our local network for all PC is Windows XP Professional.
Thank you
Khawar Pasha
First of all - what you were doing was not a legitimate path in the first place. The Dell OEM was probably already used on a Dell system at some point.
Second - to activate Windows XP Professional OEM, you need a product key for Windows XP Professional OEM. No, the Windows 7 licenses will not help you.
Probably your only choice (and is not the best) is to locate someone sell Windows XP Professional on the Internet, find the provider that you can trust most, purchase and use of the CD and the product key you get to install.

Re-installing windows 7 Professional without a cd/dvd on computer.
I had bought and installed (someone else did it for me) windows 7 Professional on my laptop about 2 years ago. In October or so I downloaded windows 10 but now have to uninstall it because my company has problems with compatibility with their system. Now, I have to re - install Windows 7 Professional but by laptop doesn't have a cd/dvd. Way, using my key number of access, download Windows 7 from microsoft.
Step 1: Get a USB, 4 GB in size.
Step 2: Download Windows 7 Professional ISO media:
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?
Step 3: Create a copy on a USB pendrive bootable:
After graduating the .iso file, you can use the built-in Image disc burning tool or Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a bootable DVD or USB (requires a blank DVD or USB flash to at least 4 GB key).
Then follow the instructions to start from the installation media, then perform a custom installation:
How to: perform a customized Windows installation
See the section of the article for Windows 7.
I would like to recommend you backup your 10 Windows Installer before doing this:

What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?
What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I have a 2 TB internal hard drive and want to install Windows and Norton Internet Security on the drive C, drive D and drive E data programs.
Thanks for a response.
Brenda
Original title: size partition Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
For technical purposes, I recommend you only keep utilities all programs that you install on the startup disk. This is recommended if you plan to upgrade to future releases of Windows such as Windows 8 because you will experience problems with the installation program.
I recommend however, you can keep accumulated data such as Documents, Photos, music, videos on a separate partition to ensure custody.
The recommended size for the boot drive around things like Windows, future growth for applications and the Windows updates and program updates will be considered.
So I recommend not more than 200 GB, for a lot of space, I would shoot up to 300 if you want to keep things like System Restore Points.

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.
