Impacts of the transition from XP to Windows 7

Hi all

I have a Windows XP system currently and you want to upgrade to Windows 7.  What are the impacts to do?  Only my OS will be upgraded and everything else remains the same (current software, the data on my hard drive, etc.) or he not formate my computer and re - installed OS?

Please note that I am looking to download the OS on the web site of Microsoft and not by the CD in a store...

Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Windows Update feature connects to the Windows Update server after the transition from XP to Windows 7 Pro.

    Updated XP PC to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  First upgrade failed due to the bad version of Win 7.  (Distorted version of seller).  Correct version relocation has left two versions installed so I started reinstalling the correct version and reformat selected before continuing.  (21/04/16)  Installation proceeds correctly, validated and activated license, but the update function didn't work.  One version on the disc after the previous action.  Then I downloaded and installed IE 11 manually the version 11.0.9600 of Microsoft (same date) and then downloaded and installed MSE from Microsoft 4.9.218.0 version (same date).   MSE updates have not downloaded initially until I ran Win update problems solving.

    I have since run program sfc/scannow (without problems of integrity or repaired files), update Windows utility for troubleshooting and Fixit programs.  I also stopped the update service, delete the appropriate configuration of software and restarted the service records.  Still not connection with update server.

    Download and install the following update manually. This greatly speeds up the update of Windows on new installations of Windows 7.

    Installation and research updates is slow and high utilization of the processor occurs in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

  • After the transition from XP to Windows 7, I lost my ability to scan and fax.

    When I go to the interface of the software (on my desktop), instead of being able to set up a scan and save it to a document, I now get a message that my installation of the software is incomplete.  He tells me that I have to connect via USB to complete it, but when I do this it seems to return to the original XP drivers, and I've since upgraded to Windows 7 drivers.  How to get out of this endless loop and recover my ability to scan?  And I already tried using HP diagnostic tools AND tried to remove and reinstall the update downloaded drivers.  Nothing seems to update this software interface on my desktop - the farthest, I get with it is a runtime error.  Any ideas?

    I tried to reinstall again and somehow got beyond the Runtime error (no idea how).  Now, scan and fax are back (yay) but the scan will make only a single page and then it shows a mistake and said it should be stopped.  However, I can deal with that at thispoint.     Thank you!!

  • After the transition from XP to Windows 7, the custom-printing size selection box has failed.

    I always was able to use my C5180 Photosmart to print pictures of custom size on my old computer with XP.  After getting a new computer with Windows 7, the custom size box says "the custom paper that you have just set will become unavailable for selection until you have left and returned in the preferences to print/properties." (I did too many times to count!) All except 'Cancel' choices are grayed out.  This feature still works on my old computer, even if the box selection and formulation are different.  I have checked and checked the drivers and we have tried many other solutions.  I have worked in this market for a week or two and see that many other people have similar problems.  I would like to buy a new hp printer, but see that even with the new hp printers people have problems with paper sizes custom, which is very important to me - I print a lot of cards of various sizes, mainly of 6.5 X 10 inches.  Of course, no support is available for this printer "obsolete". (It may be "obsolete", but it works fine with XP). I also can't get any definitive information on this feature in the new hp printers and have noted that some people have problems with this feature on the new printers also.

    Thank you so much Shane R. for your expert advice.

    Can I try your solution in the future, but right now I'm satisfied by another solution, I realized with the help of a thematically response on a Windows 7 forum.

    First of all, I'm pretty positive, I used the correct driver because I downloaded the most recent, verified and recontroler, etc.  And, fortunately, most of the features all-in-one is working well.  Because of this, I hate to try drivers for another model - as I have solve my problem. I could end up with another problem - as no function of scan or something.

    Here is how I was able to get custom formats:

    'Start' to 'control panel' for 'Hardware and Sound' ('View drivers and printers')

    Click on the printer

    Choose "Print server properties" at the top of the screen

    Click 'create a new form.

    Give form a new name, for example 7-10 card and put the name into the box just above

    Complete custom down, for example, print size 7 x 10

    Click 'save form '.

    Click "close".

    The custom name and size is then appeared in the photo program I feel for and I was able to use it.

    Thank you, again. (Where can I provide Bravo?)

  • Cannot open files in office open after the transition from XP to Windows 7

    I get 2 messages: application Incapatible and windows cannot access the specified device, etc., you don't have the necessary permissions to access the item.  I checked and double-checked the permissions.  Also cannot install previous programs, IE. Open office, itunes.

    Hi Nancy,.

    What version of open office are you using?

    As you get the error that says that the applications are not compatible, I suggest you to check if the version of the application you are trying to install is compatible with Windows 7. You can check this by using the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/compatibility/win7/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=OpenOffice&vendor=Apache&Locale=16393&ModelOrVersion=3&BreadCrumbPath=open%20office%20&Type=Software&tempOsid=win7

    You have two options:

    1. download the latest version of the software that is supported by Windows 7 and try opening the files open office.

    2. install the old application in compatibility mode and try to open the files open office.


    Refer to this link to install the application in compatibility mode: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

  • Transition from XP to Windows 7, can't locate the little information?

    I'm not very savvy of computer programming. As indicated, I have Windows XP 2002, service pack 3. Follow the instructions in Microsoft XP to find the number of "bits: under the property system.» Unable to find these.

    Also, should I move from XP to 7?

    * original title - change from XP to Windows 7?  XP version 2002, Service Park 3. Cannot find info.* bits

    You probably have XP 32 bit, namely:

    If your computer is running Windows XP, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start.

    2. Do right click my computer and then click Properties.

      • If you don't see "x 64 Edition" in the list, then you are running 32-bit Windows XP.

      • If "x 64 Edition" is listed under system, you are running the 64 bit version of Windows XP.

    Installation custom own steps

    Time to use:
    Or the transition from XP to 7, not supported in place upgrade paths (ex: Vista Home Pro 7)
    A Windows system to 32 bit on a 64 bit system, or change the language
    Don't want to make a room upgrade, or if you want a fresh install / clean

    You can use a Full Windows 7 or upgrade disk to do a custom clean install. This will remove all of your programs, but you can save your files and settings on an external storage before doing so. You will need to reinstall all your programs after installing Windows 7. Here are the steps:

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you can install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    2. backup 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).
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/Windows-easy-transfer

    3. find the discs installation and license/product associated to all your programs keys, because you have to manually reinstall all programs. If you have downloaded some Internet programs you can redownload them.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation do you want?" click "Custom (advanced)." Note: 32 to 64-bit requires restart and boot from the DVD.
      
    5. when Windows 7 is installed, you can use Windows Easy Transfer (or a different backup method you used) to restore your files & settings and use your installation disks to reinstall all your programs. Then you're done - take advantage of Windows 7.

  • The transition from the bridge of one payment to another

    Hello

    We have a customer who currently treat offline credit card transactions that that they have their payment gateway set to 'process (process manually via the existing installation) offline '.

    Now, they want to put in place a bridge of the National Australia Bank (NAB).

    Could someone provide suggestions as to how it would approach the transition from the bridge of one payment to another whereas BC only allows gateway to a payment to be selected at a time?  In other words:

    1. Is it possible that the existing offline payment gateway and the new NAB gateway can coexist so that we could go through a test phase without interrupting the continuity of the customer with the treatment of existing credit offline transactions?
    2. Or do we have to "cut" their existing sales process until the new payment gateway is fully configured and tested?

    Any comments would be much appreciated.

    Gavin

    It is not that much work to spend from OFFLINE to NAB TRANSACT

    I'm not sure, that you need to worry too much on the implementation and testing before to cut more (unless you have a really high turnover store and you want to be careful)

    Perhaps you could watch you log in to your partner portal and reproducing the SITE you want to configure on (if you have an exact dupe). Then you can go about your tests on THIS site and get all tested and functional then cut on the settings when you are happy

    Good luck

    This means that the hard drive of your HP system controller is not supported by Windows 7 with pilots from the box and you need specific drivers to install Windows 7 on it.  If HP does not have drivers on their website then you're probably not going to succeed.

  • during the transition from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, is the address book data stored and also the info in files

    I'm afraid that if I upgrade the form Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, I will lose all e-mail addresses in my address book current as well as the information contained in the files - models etc.

    If you install WLMail on your XP machine, it has to import messages and addresses automatically and nothing will be lost of OE.

  • After the OS from Vista to Windows 7 upgrade, lost bookmarks. Could they be somewhere in "windows.old"?

    Hello

    I upgraded my OS from Vista to Windows 7 and lost bookmarks, I had in Firefox. Back up my documents files and they are OK. Unfortunately, I don't think to back up my Firefox bookmarks.html file.

    However, I did the upgrade of the operating system from the disk and a "windows.old" folder has been created which seems to have a lot of my old files, applications, and others, but I can't find "bookmarks.html" in the firefox folder or in my user folder.

    Is there another place in windows.old where bookmarks could be, or a different file name, it may be under?

    Please help, there are a few important bookmarks that I lost and which were accumulated over several years.

    Thank you!

    Firefox has not used the file bookmarks.html for storage of bookmark since the release of Firefox 2. You need a JSON bookmark backup file or the file places.sqlite. See this:

    http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

    Your old profile is located here in Windows Vista and Win7:

    drive: \Users\Windows login user name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profile_name

    You may need to display 'files and hidden folders' in Win7 to be able to access the Firefox profile in windows.old files and the new installation of the OS.

  • How to read the text from a DOS window in real time?

    I call an executable file that downloads a file to flash memory.  This program displays status information in real time as the percentage of completion in one window BACK.   It also makes account of the CRC of the file as it downloads.  I am currently redirect the output of the DOS window in a text log file.  This works fine for obtaining of the CRC when the file is actually downloading but the operator loses the visibility of the State in the percentage of download.  Is there a way to read text information in a DOS window with my request of LabWindows/CVI real-time?

    Hi Brent,

    If redirect you the output from the first application in a log file, you would be able to read the contents of the file streaming to your second request, and whenever the content changes (such as the download value percentage), couldn't display you this information immediately with the second request in one window DOS or some other GUI?

  • The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

    A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

    That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

    I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

    How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

    Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

    Thank you!

    You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

    Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

    If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

    A clean installation will wipe everything.

    You cannot transfer programs.

    It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.
