I will lose existing downloads?

When I get my free upgrade to Windows 8 to 10 Windows will I lose all my saved pictures, music downloads, ect...?

The upgrade to Windows 7 or later will preserve my personal files, applications, and settings?

Yes, the upgrade to Windows 7 or a later version will preserve your personal files (documents, music, pictures, videos, downloads, Favorites, contacts, etc., applications (IE.) Microsoft Office, Adobe applications etc), games and settings (ie. passwords, dictionary, the application settings).

However, it is a good practice to back up most important data before the upgrade.

  • 8.1 update will lose everything I have just to download?

    Original title: Windows 8 to 8.1

    I just downloaded a bunch of games, which lasted several hours. recently discovered that I can update to 8.1 for free. 8.1 update will lose everything that I just, I just downloaded?

    No, it's just a system update.  It is a lot like an update of the service pack in the old days.  I recommend it to everyone, 8.1 Windows is so much better than 8.0.  All around, it corrects problems as much, making more user-friendly interface and huge performance (it uses about half the memory).

    I have an Acer computer I want to do a total restore. It came with windows 7 starter edition, and then I bought Microsoft word for it. If Microsoft word will lose if I do the restoration?

    If you purchased Word on CD, it's no big deal; just reinstall it after the factory restore. If it was bought online, copy the file downloaded to a CD and then reinstall it later.

    Is there a particular reason, why you want to do a restore complete? Have you problems? If so, you can try asking here on how to fix them and do not have to do a restore, reinstall all your programs and all of the updates and service pack 1.

    I just installed Sierra and tried to use Siri.  I can't open any app on my Mac.  No matter when I say something like, "FaceTime open" or "Open Pages," Siri comes back with something like "I don't see an app for that.  "You will need to download a ' or 'you don't seem to have an app called 'Pages'.  We could see if the App Store has it. »

  • Photosmart HP 7520: All wireless network devices will lose connectivity after printing

    Dear all, 
    
        I have a problem with my HP Photosmart 7520 printer where all wireless network devices will lose connectivity after a printer has been sent to the printer.
    
    * Summary
    Wireless network unusable after sending one print to HP printer
    No device ( computers nor smartphones ) can use the Internet nor access internal networks ( 192.168.0/24)
    
    * Details
    Turn HP printer on.  ( wireless direct is off - never turned on )
    HP printer connects to working wireless network.
    Other devices ( phone/computers ) already connected and working.
    From any device, send a document to the printer.
    Printer prints document successfully.
    Immediately after printer has printed all devices cannot access internet IP range ( including HP printer ) nor Internet nor router ( 198.168.0.1 ).
    
    * Reproducibility
    Always
    
    * Work around
    Disconnect all devices from the network.
    Power off printer.
    Reboot Internet router.
    
    * Attempted solutions
    Removed wireless configuration.
    Factory reset.
    Added wireless configuration back.
    Powered on and off printer.
    
    * Printing tested with
    Tested with Macbook10.11/Windows 8/Ubuntu 12/Android 4.4.2
    
    * Not tested
    Ethernet cable directly connected to router.
    
    * Internet Router
    Netgear CG 3700
    

    Number of brand and model of the router?

    These settings are to set up your printer wireless (or wired):

    • Stay connected to your router
    • Trouble printer status 'offline '.
    • Wake mode 'sleep'
    • All wireless devices stay better connected

    While the DHCP is convenient, devices like printers (wired and wireless) should always be assigned a (fixed) IP address manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network and must be outside the range of the router DHCP.  After the adjustment of the static IP address the computer must be updated to show a Standard TCP/IP port with the IP address of printers under printer properties/Ports.

    1. Set a static in the printer IP address (click here) outside the range of the DHCP of the router (check your manual). It is for Linksys routers, but can be used for all routers. Check your DHCP range and change this first if necessary. More Help Wireless Printing is here and here and still more here.  Video here explains the problem and how to solve the problem. <--> So watch this!
    2. Or check in the printer "Auto Off/sleep/Energy Saving Mode" is disabled the System Mode Time Out is set to zero (0) Use the built-in webserver (EWS) by visiting the printer address IP address in the address bar of your browser, click on settings tab/Auto Off. Or use the printer, printer Home Page (EWS) Wizard. Also check your printer properties.
    3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, disable the IPv6 option in the printer.
    4. Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a socket wall and not to a UPS, power strip or a lightning arrestor. This will cause the printer to drop offline connection and disconnection (checked yes!).

  • If I upgrade to win 7 I will lose data stored vista files?

    can anyone help? If I update to windows 7 I will lose data stored. That is, movies, music

    An upgrade maintains your files, a custom installation does not work. It's a good idea to back up your files before upgrading to Windows 7.

    Back up all your files and settings to avoid losing documents, photos and other information. Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool to copy files (not programs) from your PC and then transfer back after installation of Windows 7. If you don't want to use Windows Easy Transfer, you can copy your files to a Flash DRIVE or CD/DVD. Note: The easy transfer will not work when changing languages, or when moving from 64 bit to 32 bit (it will work ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit).

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
