• I have XP and that you want to upgrade to XP Pro, but Windows will not let me.

  My office recently crashed and I replaced the windows XP home that came on the machine.  I also have a copy of XP Pro upgrade that I want to install because pro allows me to office remote host and does not House.  These are both legally purchased copies.  When I try to upgrade to pro it won't let me and warned me that the original desktop version is newer than the upgrade.  I don't like the age I want the features I paid for the upgrade.

  All solutions?

  1. determine what service pack is now installed (right click on desktop and select properties).  You must have service pack 3, but if you have recently reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition, you may have neglected to update at this point.

  2. either consider that if you have a CD for an earlier version of Windows (98, Me, 2000), you can do a "clean install" of XP Pro by booting from the CD-ROM to upgrade XP Pro and then insert the qualifying product CD when asked.

  3. If you want to 'upgrade' to protect the applications and data already installed on XP Home, first back up your data (just in case).  As indicated in the error message, your upgrade installation CD must be equal or superior to your current installation of XP Home service pack level.  Compare the service pack level of your installation of XP Home (see 1 above) and the level of service pack of your XP Pro installation CD.  Then create a CD slipstreamed that combines the real CD XP Pro you have with the correct service pack.  There are many instructions for this on the web.  See http://lmgtfy.com/?q=slipstream+xp

  I suggest that you use nLite (see the first hit in Google search above).

  If your XP CD Pro has NO service pack, you must first integrate the SP2 and then sp3 wake in this.

  If your CD of XP Pro at service pack 1 or 2, you can integrate service pack 3 (for example, you can go from 1 to 3 without add 2).

  Download the file from the service pack 3 Setup here--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

  If necessary, download the file from the service pack 2 installer here--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28

• Want to upgrade from Windows 7 Windows 8.1

  I have a pc touchsmart 310 and bought Windows 8 Pro on the drive. I want to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro, and then download the free update to 8.1. I learned by a representative of Microsoft if I do an upgrade and not a "clean install" I would still have windows 7 and if I decided to move to windows 7 I was able to do because I did an upgrade and not a clean install completely erases the entire system.

  What I need to know, is if I'm doing this update, I continue to have the touchsmart feature? The touchsmart feature that will allow me to access the webcam, recipe box, Center app, facebook, twitter, HP Movie Store, doodle, add notes and etc? I was told by Microsoft to ask if you have a download that will allow me to have the touchsmart feature in windows 8 Pro. I talked to a representative, but I don't think he completely understood what I was referring to.

  It is the position of HP on the support of Windows 8 and of any computer HP have not supplied with Windows 8.

  Not all the features of Windows 8 may be available on all PCs.

  Your specific experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.

  HP provides upgrade instructions and the drivers will be available for the majority of Windows 7 systems sold after October 1, 2011.

  If you want to restore the original operating system after the upgrade, you must create HP recovery before you put on level support.

  Please note that if you purchased your system before October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed the drivers for them or upgrade of Windows 8 instructions. The upgrade of these systems can be difficult, if not impossible.

• I want to install Windows 7 to be able to play DVDs, I have to pay for the upgrade?

  installation of Windows 7

  Hi, I am running Windows XP and I would like to install Windows 7 in order to play DVDs.  I pay for the upgrade?  I am not very computer, is - this easy to install so free.
  Thank you
  JO Smith

  First of all, you need not to install Windows 7 to play the DVD.  WinXP is perfectly capable of reading DVDs, as long as you have a DVD drive and the drivers appropriate devices and Codecs installed.

  Yes, if you want to upgrade to Windows 7, you will need to buy at least a license upgrade.  However, the "ease" of the upgrade process is relative, based almost entirely on your level of knowledge and skills.  In general, the process is fairly automatic: just observe the instructions on the screen.

  You should, before you continue, make sure that your computer is able to support Windows 7, and that the manufacturers of all connected devices (printer, scanner, webcam, etc.) have provided drivers for devices on Windows 7 for these items will continue to work.

  I bought a laptop tailor-made and it turns out that there is a counterfeit Windows xp version. I want to upgrade to windows 7 instead of buy the version xp again. is this possible?

  You will need to purchase a full commercial copy of Windows 7 and do a clean install. You cannot use a Windows XP hacked as an operating system that you are eligible for an upgrade.

  Vista Upgrade Advisor is no longer available.

  That's the only advice we can give you to see if you can upgrade to Vista:

  «Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Vista drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.»

  If not available, Vista will not properly work for you. »
