I was going to do a clean install of windows xp...

I was going to do a clean install of windows xp and for this I'll use the drive of the Dell operating system I have. Using what I had to restart my laptop with the disc in the drive, follow the instructions and get to the stage where the partitions are listed. I was going to delete the primary partition, and then just create a new NTFS partition. Once the installation program would end, I suppose that the machine would take me to configure the user account, but how does it work with activation.

1 should I disable xp first, or given that I have you deleted the main partition is my license already disabled xp and I can use it again? And I am doing something wrong with the whole installation process.

2.Oh, and by the way, is the license code that can be used on a similar xp installation? As if the machine is xp home edition is installed now, I can do the clean install with xp home edition with media center edition 2005 and work with this version activation code?

Thank you all!

Dell OEM of Windows version are tied to the computer first it is installed on. That's why the disc and product 'cannot' book key using the CD in Media Center. You can try to use the CD key and product of the media centre but be prepaired ro reinstall XP home if it activates or the device drivers does not not to the configuration of your computer. I used the words "cannot" work I've seen in the past apparently universal CD a Dell for some reason any worked.

XP is "off" once it is deleted in the player.

  • Question seeks to clean install 10 Windows on the drive of the merger. El Capitan.

    Problem: try a clean install of Windows 10 via the Boot Camp Assistant on an iMac 27 inches (Late2013) with 10.11.4 installs hours (more than 8 hours) and then failed to install Boot Camp updates. Essentially installation take much long than normal and cannot install updates of the Apple software or create normally start Windows Boot Camp 10.

    Background: After problems of slowing down after upgrading to 10.11.4 (with improved Bootcamp Windows 10) who had previously worked fine for 10 months, to the point of a start of OS X time, I decided to do a clean install of my iMac with Fusion 3 to disk.

    As I was unable to remove the partition from Boot Camp through BCA because of his holding always at the same load, I used Internet recovery and reset the Fusion drive. This then required me to repair the partition of Fusion by car through THE "fix" option which seems to work very well. And reinstalled OS X 10.11.4 which works fine now (delays etc..)

    Try using BCA to create a new partition Boot Camp and a clean Windows 10 install after downloading an image of disk W10 directly from Microsoft (Win10_1511_1_English_x64), BCA by downloading software updates and by selecting the desired partition, it began to restart and initialize the installation. However the whole process has been very slow, each step takes much longer than usual, to progress. Leave for hours rest a blank screen or with a circle of rotation.

    I tried with another stick USB 3 and also a USB 2 stick, but none has made a difference.

    In the last attempt, I left running overnight and after 8-9 hours, he finally reaches the top of desktop Windows 10 and the update of Apple Bootcamp starts to load updates. However, he just hung and even after 2 hours, nothing was. Reboot and try once again has been the same.

    After that I tried to create a Windows Installer via BCA 8.0 however it gives just a TPG error when you try to select the drive (due to el Capitan I guess?)

    After four days of efforts, I'm a loser on how to get the Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition. I can't even install W8 and upgrade due to the error of TPG.

    Any help or suggestions how to proceed with the diagnostic / resolution of the problem would be appreciated.

    Details:

    System: iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 M 4096 MB, OS X 10.11.4

    • Nothing other than the keyboard and mouse attached via the USB ports, as well as the key USB of BCA. No other attached devices.
    • Reset memory NVRAM, SMC and ran more than once disk utility. No problem not reported.  Ran NVRAM reset before each attempt.
    • At ran EtreCheck report which seemed OK.
    • Verification of diagnosis ran who is childless.

    A detail I noticed after the merger by car there are now two Macintosh HD images when you use boot option. One previously. Are named "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD2". I remember being Yosemite simultaneously in three, but which has been fixed in an update.

    In addition, it seems that no recovery partition. Cmd + R lance Internet recovery.

    Summary:

    Q1: Should it take 4 + hours to install Windows 10 via BCA?

    Q2: Al must ultimately be so slow when initially W10 desktop?

    Q3; What I do once I arrive at the office of W10 but it automatically updates the graphics driver as BC update is simply suspended for centuries and get a working driver to restart at least W10?

    Q4: is there a problem with the disk HARD the Drive of Fusion that is causing all this delay and slow install / boot? ON the clean install OS X 10.11.4 it is back to be fast as usual and all tests show things are OK but W10 goes on the part of the HARD drive. No way to verify this beyond diagnosis or Etrecheck?

    Q5: Y at - it no problem with the GPT / MBR that may be causing the delay etc. ?

    Q6: How can I use my existing WindowsImageBackup backup from the previous W10 with the BCA install usb drive or how to create a USB stick otherwise recovery disk with my other single Mac have W7?

    Q7: How can I install W8 as I once did on Yosemite, via el Capitan without a mistake to TPG on selection of disc?

    Details:

    Day 5. Attempt at 6.

    Partition Boot Camp delete and try again install via BCA. First question, is that when the startup it goes to a blank black screen. For a time nothing left. Reset then using alt to select windows training results in almost instantaneous startup of the BCA message created and the beginning of the installation.

    4 1/2 hours from start of Windows 10 initial signature window.

    Then the second question. One to reach the Boot Camp update Office tries to start and install the drivers. Allows you to "list files...". "stage then sits at the bar about 5% green for 1 to 2 hours and does nothing. All actions in the Office of the W10 takes ages.

    In the meantime, auto update of the W10 appears a message saying that the updated graphics drivers as one of the few messages or actions during this period. Looks like Nvidia install with the entire package of experience (unwanted) etc. and very probably not the correct gpu driver.

    Finally deciding to cancel the installation of BC by killing the Setup.exe process. Then copy Boot camp install files on the desktop. Lasts 30 minutes to copy. Run again and this time, although taking 15-20 minutes to download and install later with the success message.

    Check the graphic driver it shows a yellow exclamation mark, so the following Microsoft instructions I use the uninstall option via the device and then Manager (slowly) come on board to load and download the latest Nvidia driver on their site for the GTX 780 M for 64-bit W10 etc. The same thing that I had used previously. Slow with running the Nvidia Setup program again, but eventually it works only to say that he could not install as unrecognized graphics device...

    He ends up with Microsoft PnP driver so it's at least sufficient start and run it again BC of the figure updates as all other drivers have been installed. To restart, but I get an error of K-Mode that is most likely related to this driver graphic and not possible to start in the new W10 Boot Camp partition after 7 hours.

    I have a picture of W10 backup recovery (WindowsImageBackup) I've had in a few weeks, but it will not install bet for the installed W10. I try with the ACO created the USB windows but can't seem to get a way to get into recovery mode and to get the menu to install it. I don't have a way to create a USB W10 recovery key now because my other Mac has just installed W7.

    Finally I tried to count a reset of the Recovery boot up option but it seems that it will take longer to start.

    I also went to the recovery and selected Boot Mode safe, but it opens on an empty black window and he's here doing nothing.

    Looks like I'll have to restart on via BCA and reinstall and try and solve the problem of graphics in order to install driver updates from BC and restart to W10 and hope that with the drivers, it returns to the operation and the normal starting time. Then update the gpu driver.

    I used and installed Boot Camp several times with over the years including previously an upgrade of W8.1 > W10 I used for over 6 months without problem. I've never known these installation very long or ice once in Windows even for the initial start upward.

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated, and this seemingly simple process has now expanded to five days.

  • Laptop HP 15-R204NE: clean install of Windows 10

    Hello

    I'm ready to do a clean install of Windows 10 but the only thing that worried me are the drivers provided factory installed with my laptop, it was initially delivered with Windows 64 - bit of 8.1. I don't want to lose one that I have no idea how or where I'm going to do if I lose everything. If someone has a way to understand this help is very much appreciated.

    Kind regards.

    Hello Zarakkhan ;

    I read your post on the new install of drivers of Win10 and wanted to help.

    As to the first, the upgrade of active Win10 through something known as right digital, install some sense, when you perform an upgrade on the spot on an existing Win7/8/8.1, upgrade reuses the existing product key for activation.  After you confirm that the machine is turned on, you can THEN do a clean install on the same machine.  IF you do a clean install without activating the first, you will not activate your copy of Win10.

    That said, MS released earlier to a new update to Win10 and (allegedly), you should be able to do a clean install with NEW media made from multimedia authoring tool and have it activate using your product key of Win8.1.  But, I haven't read anyone done this yet, is just a rumor at this point.

    As for save the drivers, there's a product excellent freeware called Driver Backup.  After you download and install it, you can then save out all your current drivers on a USB key.  This will make reinstall them later a simple process. I know it works because I use this product myself.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.

  • A clean install of Windows 8 OEM - Media Download

    Hello world

    I'm a Rockstar of Dell Community and I was a writer of the Dell community wiki. My Windows reinstallation Guide wiki and related Guides can be found here:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/f/3524/t/19480753.aspx

    I'm trying to find a download link that allows users to clean install their version OEM of Windows 8.

    There are ways to install Windows 8 with a product key and generic product keys are available, but the installer of Windows 8 seems to accept, then only reject them by saying: unable to connect:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/4415.a-clean-install-of-Windows-8-not-working.aspx in addition, this Setup requires a previous working version of Windows and is clearly not suitable for a variety of reasons for any new installation on a blank hard drive (which may be necessary in the event of failure of the hard drive for example).

    It seems to be too difficult for users of Dell in Europe in order to obtain the media:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/f/4677/t/19476992.aspx

    We would like a download link and I have mentioned this to all my Dell contacts and posted on IdeaStorm about this:

    http://www.IdeaStorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?v=1359724583158&ID=087700000008luMAAQ

    http://www.IdeaStorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?v=1359724583158&ID=087700000008YVXAA2

    I lobbied for this on the end of Dell but have not had much luck until now so I need to push him on the end of Microsoft, but do not have a lot of contacts Microsoft.

    It seems no to little interest to write "A clean install of Windows 8" If no users can get media without having to purchase a new license, I wrote, but it is incomplete without a valid download installation source.

    Can anyone from Microsoft, Microsoft VIPs and community stars look at my wikies and ideas IdeaStorm and offer a viable solution, so I can complete my wiki and users can clean install their operating system without any preinstalled junk or have a way to reinstall their OS, if everything goes wrong.

    A direct link would be preferable because a hard disk can fail and needs replaced. Use of the Upgrade Advisor is acceptable, but such that it download the 32-bit installation on a 32-bit computer files and 64-bit on a 64-bit computer, it's not ideal because users will not have the possibility of that they want to take. by example if computer 1 is 32 and computer science 2 (computer problem) is 64 bit, then they will be run in troubles.

    With the product key in hacking the BIOS shouldn't be a problem if the media is free to download. However if a legitimate source is not available for users to clean install with piracy will increase considerably.

    In addition the inability of users to read the product key can also be a problem for the activation of product in some rare cases. I suggest that Microsoft allow / OEM do print the product key in the BIOS as safety net information:

    http://www.IdeaStorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?v=1336244451843&ID=087700000008YWzAAM

    Please notify.

    Edit warnings on Windows 8.1 adding updated:

    Scenario 1: most of the OEM recovery partitions generally do not work once the partitions systems have been modified in any way or an operating system is reinstalled. The user should rely on the internal recovery partition while they are completely baffled after trying to install Windows 8.1.

    Scenario 2: The user should recovery media before installing Windows 8.1 overview - you know as well as I do that some people will not create the recovery media.

    Scenario 3: Recovery programs do not always work. I saw, overall community Dell, many clients have difficulties, create recovery media. They are in trouble, if something goes wrong.

    Scenario 4: The user thinks that they have created a recovery media, but really what they have created is a corrupted DVD set (i.e. used low-quality DVD or USB). When they are in pain to go and use, they do not work.

    Scenario 5: The user made a recovery media and he lost. They are also in trouble.

    Scenario 6: The user suffers from an out of the box starting problem when the system arrives due to misconfiguration of factory settings, in particular with a cache drive I've seen many users have and could easily fix it on their own, but can't because they have no .iso Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows.

    Scenario 7: A major problem that corrupts any installation of Windows 8 or virus Windows 8.1 and infects USB recovery when the user tries to start from it. A third-party utility such as DBAN could be used to wipe the system in this case and new facility could be made using a .iso and a USB after.

    Scenario 8: Windows 8.1 is a Service Pack. Service Packs have been known to cause a range of issues especially when third-party software and drivers are installed in front of them. Hint, hint factory settings. Factory settings are preloaded with these problems. Its why my Windows reinstallation Guides always recommend to install Windows, then on the stand-alone Service Packs via updates unless they are included on the installation media. Note, that I recommend that you install the Service Packs before the system drivers. Users do not have these problems if they are properly followed up my guides.

    Several scenarios could be made by mixing these 8 above to the top.

    Edit 2: See the comments made by 2 MVP who responded to this topic which seems to indicate that they want to make things worse by removing the download links of Windows Vista and Windows 7:

    http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php/topic, 14452.0.html

    So it's very obvious from the actions of Microsoft that Microsoft aims is not to prevent piracy, but double dependent people when their system fails and requires a re-installation of external media (in which case they upgraded to a SSD, or their recovery partition is wiped out. The percentage of those who just end up buying a retail version of Windows when their disk failed hard is very important, something that adds dramatically to the benefits of Microsoft. These business practices of Microsoft are clearly unjust and illegal and something must investigate and pursue the U.S. Department of Justice.

    This part is quite obvious, given that their prevention of piracy is so poor that their policies can only intended strictly to reap illegal profits to force non-legal tech savvy users to pay twice for windows they already paid when they bought their system. It was not the case, they would freely allow users to download an OEM ISO of Windows 8, so that they can recover if their hard drive fails completely, as OEM ISO is useless for a pirate without a license (usually built-in to the motherboard) key and a pirate will have easy access to a copy of Windows 8 without worrying. Again, the only people hurt by these policies are legal users, not pirates.

    Now that piracy is concerned, I further suspect that given poor piracy prevention mechanisms of Microsoft that allow hackers to distribute auto activated copies of Windows 7, etc. that Microsoft would have rather let poor people use a pirated version of Windows to completely block and force them to use Linux that would increase the base of Linux users. So I surmise that they intentionally allow ways for hackers to hack their Windows software anyway, because the poor free moccasins will not pay for Windows do anything because they have simply not the money, yet nevertheless it is in the interest of Microsoft to prevent them moving to Linux because most of the poor is just young, and will later money for licenses of Microsoft. But here again the only systems in question here are systems more alumni who have XP or Vista, licenses while other systems that people are supposedly piracy have valid Windows 7 and 8 license keys that Microsoft wants a double payment for!

    The Windows 8.1 with update 1 .iso is now downloadable without entering a product key. It is downloadable for the OEM license and I've documented here in an updated guide focusing on licensed OEM with UEFI and SecureBoot:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

    This .iso works with product keys well Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. The main issue is to determine your edition. The edition correct will automatically enter your product key and brings you to the screen of the license agreement. Incorrect editing will ask for a product key. Also, there are two editions of 'free' missing; Windows 8.1 with Bing and Windows unilingual 8.1 with Bing.

    Ironically, Microsoft fixed the deployment of multimedia files of Windows 8 (not at 100% but greatly) and then severely broke the deployment of multimedia files Windows 7 a few months later.

    I have a HP mini 210-2145 DX.  I recently had to do a clean install of Windows Ultimate edition.  Now, I can get a wireless connection because I can't find the right drivers on the HP site.  I tried 12 + drivers that I downloaded.  They all seem to be for 32 bits, and it's 64-bit.

    Can someone please help me find the right wireless drivers to install?  Thank you.

    Try this different file and see if it works automatically and installs the driver.

    The system uses something of a RAID configuration, because it doesn't have an Intel RST and a Smart Connect pilot.

    The problem is that I don't have access to a copy non - OEM Windows 8 to test the manual installation of the driver Intel RST or Smart Connect method.

    What is a stock Enterprise of Windows 8 version or a custom image for the company?  If it is a stock Enterprise installation, then the Windows Anytime Upgrade would be an option provided the OEM copy is always available and you know what is the product key.

    However, you can try to extract the contents of the package driver to a USB flash drive and try to manually install one of the drivers (RST or Smart Connect) to see if it makes the configuration of disk HARD visible during the installation process.

    1. install and open 7-zip.

    2 in 7 - zip, access both downloaded drivers linked above in the post.

    3. right click on each one and choose 7-zip > Archive open.

    4. extract the contents of each driver on an external USB drive.

    5. When you arrive at the selection of blank disc screen during installation of Windows 8, select the option to load drivers.

    6. go to the file Intel RST pilot which was extracted, select drivers and appropriate architecture (x 86 for 32-bit, x 64 for 64-bit).

    7. This can be a process of elimination.  Try each driver (in RST and Smart Connect) until you find one that works.

    8. when the appropriate driver has been installed, then the HARD drive should be visible.

    Let me know what happens.

  • What drivers to download for a clean install of Windows 7?

    I'm working on a clean install of Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on my HP Pavilion computer of bureau a6600f (originally there was Vista, now he has Windows 7 Ultimate). The machine is stable but really slow.

    If I want to download the drivers and others, which is here. But I don't really know what are those who... just do each of them?

    and then after installing Windows 7, I have just install these one by one?

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a6600f. Based on the specifications, this model uses a nVidia Chipset nVidia Graphics, nVidia Network and Realtek HD Audio. If you have already done, I would update the BIOS first. I skip the installation of the HP drivers and go directly to the sites of the manufacturer for the latest drivers chipset.

    nForce Driver v15.56 for Windows 7 64-bit (Ethernet, SATA/IDE, SMBUS, pilot EMS and Away Mode driver)

    V307.83 GeForce Driver for Windows 7 64 bit (Graph)

    Realtek HD Audio Driver for Windows (Tick 'Accept', click 'Next', years download location for 3rd item to the bottom of the list)

    I think that your 'slowness' is due to the entry level Pentium E2200 CPU and only 3 GB of RAM. Consider one of the better microprocessors on the list and the upgrade to 4 GB RAM HP.

  • I loaded the preview of Windows 8 developer, how can I do a clean install of Windows 7?

    I was stupid and has not implemented a partition on my HARD drive.  I have to do a clean install of Windows 7, which is not too painful because my computer is new.  But I can't seem to start from the disc.  I changed the order in my BIOS but windows 8 charge even without even giving me a startup disk option.

    Hello JordanLeavitt

    Do not try to boot from the Windows 7 support. Instead of starting the Windows Developer Preview and then put in the disc of Windows 7. Run the Windows 7 Setup program and follow the installation process of Windows. I would like to know if it works for you. Thank you.

    EDIT: You end up with a Window.old folder on your C: drive. It's the Windows Developer Preview. You can delete this folder.

    I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

    I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

    I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

    I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

    In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

    Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

    Hello

    The on/off switch actually works?

    Since it is an internal adapter to ensure it is enabled in the settings of configuration/F2 (BIOS/CMOS) often like you
    Start - so look at the screen.

    Have you tried the computer on other WiFi networks? You had a WiFi type problem before the
    Re-install of Vista?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    Make sure you know the details of connection to your wireless router - SSID and password.

    You lose connection when you do and have to redo your logon.

    Control Panel - Network & Sharing Center - right, click Customize - page set of network locations.
    lower left click on merge or delete network locations - REMOVE all instances of your network (and the
    others you don't use anymore) - REBOOT. Start - Connect To log on to the network.

  • Missing Ethernet, network controllers SM Bus and PCI device after a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello friendly folk,

    I got a used HP Pavilion G6 - 1C40CA.

    There was a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    After searching around online, got a hint of what to do.

    For Device Manager are missing or not that there is not (small yellow exclamation triangle):

    Ethernet controller (Hardware ID: PCI/VEN_10EC & DEV_8136)

    Network controller (Hareware ID: PCI/VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727)

    PCI device (Hareware ID: PCI/VEN_10EC & DEV_5209)

    SM Bus controller (Hardware ID: PCI/VEN_1022 & DEV_780B)

    As well as to find good downloads, I know not to order that I should be their installation (if there is a specific order at all), and if I have to restart every time that I have install something again.

    If someone could be kind enough to drive me very precisely by the process? Pretty please? ^_^

    Hello:

    The first pilot, you need to install is for the smbus controller.

    Download and install the amd chipset drivers and restart.  You want the first file on the Web page.

    Here's the rest of the drivers you need in the order you posted the material ID's, and you can install them in an order any that you like...

  • H8 - 1520t: how to do a clean install of windows 10 on another drive?

    Hi all.

    Today, I decided to make the transition to windows 10. I want to do a clean install, however, because I recently had an SSD and install the OS on it instead of on my hard drive. First of all, I even need my product key to do a clean install on a new drive? I made a clone of my C: dirve just in case something goes wrong, cordially. My SSD is 100% empty and has 110GB available on this subject, but my main hard drive has about 400 GB of stuff on it, so cloning my drive for the SSD drive is out of the picture.

    So basically what I want to know is this: 1. do I need to have my windows key to do a clean install of windows 10 8.1 of windows on a different drive.

    2 if not, how to do a clean install on a new drive

    3. If I need, how can I get it?

    Thank you all

    The simplest solution would be to save the data that you want to keep on an external hard drive, then remove this data and programs from the old hard drive so that only the BONE remains.  From there use migration software from your manufacturer SSD to clone the old drive to the new SSD using a USB to SATA.

    The Windows key is embedded in the BIOS and will be recognized by the computer on any installs.  It would be desirable to collect your key, just in case, using Belarc Advisor, which gives you all kinds of info on your computer.  Do this before doing anything.

    http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html

    Share your drive and be sure that it is operational.  Now you can perform a new installation of the upgrade of Windows 10 using an ISO bootable.  See step 5 or 6 of this tutorial:

  • How to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional of a DVD on the ProBook s 4530?

    So I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed on my laptop and I want to get rid of it completely and to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit from a DVD.
    I don't want to use windows anytime upgrade somehow! Because I have a few serious bugs with my current installation and a clean install, I can be sure to get rid of them

    I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how exactly to do this and if all my data will be deleted. If so, will it download all drivers HP and the software again by myself? :/

    Bugs are not serious but they affect several programs and it is impossible to use my laptop, I was doing.
    And no, I have no recovery option, I don't have any dvd with my laptop, or something like that and personally I didn't do all the backups. Which was a mistake that I won't repeat.
    In addition, because of my college, I get a free copy of win 7 professional so why not use it?
    I have already burned on a DVD, now I just need to detail how a facility own n_n
    So after I installed win 7 Professional I just copy and replace Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE instead of download the drivers?
    BTW, I'll accept your next answer as the snap

    You will use the copied Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE for is the source of the drivers when you then. Do not replace the folder in the new installation of Windows with the folder that you copied from the initial installation of Windows. It would not be a good idea.

    Once you have done the copy of the file and have it practice you can simply put the installation DVD into the DVD drive and boot from it. There will be a point where asks you if you want to save your previous installation. Say no to it.

    At this stage you can always do a defined recovery disk. I recommend that you do this. This is the copy of the operating system and drivers you purcased your PC with. If you do not want is not a problem like UO can always buy it at HP over the next years.

  • Clean install of Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit) error 8024402F

    * Edit - I've redirected to the Windows Update team.* network

    After you perform a new installation of Windows 7 using the SP1 64 bit DVD, I get the error 8024402F.

    I did this same setup on 2 computers last week and had the same error on both computers.
    Things I've tried that don't work:
    • Tried to wear this laptop to my home network to install the updates
    • I tried to run the Microsoft Fix It tool
    • Automatic updates disabled with all the boxes
    • Changing DNS settings
    • Firewall disabled
    • TinyWall installed
    • Installed using .net 4 web install
    • Upgrade to IE9 using offline Installer
    • Tried to run a Bat file that disables and enables services
    • Delete / rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
    • System analysis tool
    Things to Note:
    • I am able to use Windows Update correctly on other computers very well. Just not those freshly installed SP1
    • Yes, I am able to connect and browse the internet
    • All the drivers seem to be working properly
    • I checked my router and nothing seems out of the ordinary

    I don't know there is more that I don't remember.

    I did this same process probably a hundred times without any problem using this DVD and goes directly from SP1 to install updates windows 100 +. Only in the last week or two, something has changed on the Windows Update site that doesn't allow me more start installing Windows updates since a disc newly formatted with W7SP1.
    Were there changes in Windows updates in September/October? Is there a patch for this?

    SUCCESS!

    Here's what I found out, see if it works for you as well.

    Apparently, my ISP (mediacom) blocked the traffic for Windows Update. I installed a VPN client free to go around them and all updates installed. Now that the machine is updated, I have need the VPN client to the optional updates.

    Since version original SP1 was not updated and managed Windows 7 32 bit, I can only assume that update server or the type of traffic for Windows 7 64 SP1 is different. I did not have a capture of packets, so I can't say with certainty.
