Install an upgrade of Vista or Win 7 from Xp or Vista: can I install the first then get updates then install or just install when the first is installed? And other related issues.
Firstly: I understand that Windows XP can have Windows Vista upgrades. Second, Windows 7 upgrades require Windows Vista not windows XP.
So:
-If I had to install Windows XP: I install the Vista upgrade right after? Or should I get all updates for XP first?
-If I had to install Windows Vista: I would like to install the Windows 7 upgrade right after? Or should I get the updates for Vista first?
-Would be recognized hardware in a laptop in the upgrade or installation of the version full? For example: I have a laptop. It is pre-loaded with the software and hardware that had specific software: for example: the modem, modem wireless and other things that the cell needs to function... But I had to make a back-up for the laptop, there was no installation cd and cd software. I know that Windows installs drivers that are ok. The material would be useless if?
Thank you.
"If it ain't broke...". "is well thought!
It is whether equipment manufacturers if they write Vists/etc drivers, or not.
And they often decide to sell more NEW material, instead of writing the most recent operating system drivers.
Microsoft depends a lot on what they provide.
See you soon.

Try to install the items 13 and it requires a serial number. The instructions show the number should start with 1057, but there is no code on the discs, the box or envelopes, only the discs came from 1057. I can't activate the software without this code, and it's a Christmas gift for my wife. Help!

My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer. Now, I have a problem with a product key. When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement. I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key. My question is this. If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key. If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key? Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop? Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price? Thank you
You cannot transfer a license from another computer to another computer, especially if the license came with this machine. You will need to purchase a new license.

Help on upgrading 10.7.5 El captain in MS Office and other possible issues
Hello!
I have a Mac Book Pro December 2011, OS X 10.7.5. I struggled with the implementation of php and many other issues and have been repeatedly invited to improve my OS. As a newbie in CS, I frankly scared - it's the only computer I have, and I can't lose/break/brick/etc, because I won't be able to fix any serious problem at the moment, not until I know what's best. But I'm really tired of losing time because of low productivity, constant freezing and other issues; and also feel ashamed bothers people on forums like this one, only because I have an obsolete system and lack of appropriate knowledge (the latest is not shameful because I learn, but the first can be really annoying for people who help me).
Please, help me with this question:
(1) is it safe to upgrade directly to el Captain 10.7.5?
(2) If Yes on first, what are the possible problems that may arise and what should I do to avoid problems?
(3) should I reinstall MS Office to upgrade the OS? This is crucial for me because I found out that I have to buy new MS Office, as Microsoft staff informed me. This isn't really the best money for me at the moment.
Thank you very much for your help and your understanding!

xw8400: 8.1 is win the end of the line for xw8400 and others in the series?
I don't see much posted on upgrade to 8.1 win to win 10 to the xw6400 xw8400 etc.
8.1 Win is working great for me, but I don't like to win 8.1 and would spend to win 10.
Someone at - it ideas?
If you did could you please put the model and other important details such as RAID, etc.
My system is pretty vinilla. No DSS, no RAID, optical and GPU readers supplied with the box.
I had 10 Professional 64-bit Windows and running on these xw workstations for months now, starting by the W10 preview release, and then at the end of July with the RTM version and all recently with the large W10 November update. W10 works very well on these workstations and is very fast. I'm usually running 8 GB of RAM, but some have 16GB. I only use SSDS and generally SATA II types of Intel versions. I upgrade to the fastest processors, both of them and for example use usually two SLAEJ sSpec code quad cores in the xw6400. I use two of the code core E5450 quad sSpec SLBBM in the xw6600.
I posted here on what I'm doing 'activate Windows 10' a workstation. Clonezilla or Acronis is what I use and I have clone W7Pro64 or W8.1Pro64 on a SSD 'stunt' work, then do the upgrade of the downloadable installer MS. W10... I run the .exe rather than boot from the thumb drive and choose to save nothing. Once a job is activated it will be activated for ever, and I can do a fresh install of W10 on this later when I have free time. It is my understanding that harvests of activation process of MS W10 the UUID of the BIOS string and thereafter you are registered for this type of W10 install in the servers of activation for the long-term. This makes the cloning an installation image W10 to a xw6400 above another work of xw6400 active fine... If both are W10 is transparent.
Regarding the drivers... MS did the drivers that are compatible W10 integrated into Setup (which automatically interacts with MS central servers, and which MS has updated according to comments from the owners of these workstations on doing just that and does not work. It's a great advantage to have a HP workstation... MS is willing to invest the time and effort to do things for HP.
For W7 and W8 there is universal installers HP that I receive from the Z620, etc... HP RealTek, Broadcom card PCIe USB3 TI and install them properly on xw6400/xw8400 pilot sites. They are able to install drivers for the motherboard chips that predate the machine, they are offered for because the previous chip drivers are included in the program installation (but not necessarily with HP). For example, the Z620 had a Broadcom NIC in option and you can find the HP Broadcom universal installation program which interacts with the motherboard the xw6400 Broadcom chip also perfectly to get the modern drivers loaded.
I don't go to the former site of HP driver for these old jobs, who stopped to be updated for years. I use the latest version of the BIOS, of course. I now only use SSD... usually Intel 320 series 300 GB or 160 GB SATA II those off eBay, used. I use firmware update and software Intel Toolbox to optimize these. I'm only using nVidia Quadro... now generally FX1800, FX3700, Quadro 2000 and 2000 d cards. The FX580 gives a lot of bang for the buck also, and they are all off eBay. The idea was faster more reliable performance at a reasonable cost, with parts of HP.
Many details to absorb, but things are working fine, stable and fast. I have personally loaded W10Pro64 on several xw6400, xw8400, xw6600 and Z620 workstations. All good and I need to do for the benefit of the long reach of our group, but I like W7Pro64 the best yet. However, I am surprised how well W10 done at this stage.

remove the bootcamp 2008 mini and other issues
I have a mini although don't remember when I bought exactly, in my opinion, is was 2008/2009 120 GB HD is full with 85 GB for MAC and 34 GB partitioned into Bootcamp/Windows. I have several questions. I have 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM.
Recently the 1 TB external drive that had my iPhoto Library, iPhoto ' 09 (8.1.2), crashed. Fortunately I had a return to the top of most of the pictures so I saved them again on a drop box account.
I just bought a WD 1 TB disk as a Time Machine backup. I would like to delete the bootcamp partition to free up space inside of HD. Given that I do not know which way to follow up on the OS upgrade I backup the boot camp partition.
- If I delete the partition should I reformat the internal HD together?
- If yes then I guess I have to reload the OS and files of Applications of discs, which are really very old.
- Once I have more internal disk space, free I can load Os X El Capitan?
- What is the best procedure to do this assuming that I can upgrade to El Capitan.
- If it's not the El Capitan case, then what is the latest OS I install, and how do I get it.
- With my current equipment, can I install a larger internal HD?
- How big, how fast?
There is no Mini 2008. The 2009 and later can go to El Capitan. The 2007 only to the Lion and can use only 4 GB of memory. Therefore, it seems that you have a 2009. Only the beginning of 2009 also has a 2 GHz processor
You can delete the partitions without reformatting.

Yes yo ca install an internal drive more. The only restriction is that the thickness should be 9.5 mm or less. I would like to install a SSD but don't not gt a sinus fast one mini 2009 is only SATA II (3 GB/s) speed so you can't use the full speed of an SSD. However, it accelerated an SSD. I installed an SSD on my end of 2009 and there was a big improvement is the speed.
If you get a new HD do not pay for a fast given that the Mini will not use it.

Sporadically, when I turned off my computer, it reached the "Logging Off" screen and seems stuck. I walked away from my computer for a returned more than an hour to find the screen always showing "Logging Off" with the small circle in the middle of spinning. The only way I can close down is to do it manually and then when I use the computer at a later date, I ger the message that my computer has been shut down improperly and I should log in safe mode. This happened only since I upgraded to Windows Vista. My computer is a Toshiba laptop Satellite P105-S6147.

vCenter upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 for the new machine, SRM and dvswitch
Anyone know if it is possible to do a upgrade to vCenter from a machine under windows server 2008 on a new computer server 2012? The database is located on an external computer. All I can see in the upgrade doc is that there is a tool for migrating data with earlier versions, but not when moving to 5.5.
Also - what implications are there if there's a dvswitch in the site?
Thank you very much
Hello
I guess you run ESXi and vCenter 5.1?
If it were me, I'd do the following:
-Install a new instance of vCenter on a new Server R2 2012
-Turn off the old server vCenter on 2008.
-Save the remote SQL database vCenter.
-Install a new instance of the Web, the inventory Service and SSO client. I remind vCenter to use the SQL remote database existing and chose to 'upgrade' when installing vCenter.
Then you'd be in vCenter server 2012 R2 with a new facility and using your old database that will get upgraded. You will always retain so your dvSwitch information. I'm not sure of SRM, you probably need to reconfigure it to use the new vCenter Server (unless you use IP records or that you can easily return?).
There are a few things to think about when you really do. Can you afford any downtime on vCenter? What of SRM and your RPO/RTO? The complexity is your configuration of SSO? Use you things like tags in web client (they would get lost in the reconstruction of the inventory service)? What confidence you are on the side of things RS? It is possible to save these configurations, but I'm not sure restore them on 5.5.
The main thing to consider is the database really. Worst case, you can restore it and turn back on your old vCenter 2008.
Happy to be told I'm wrong or answer your questions. If in doubt, contact VMware technical support and ask for help.
Kind regards

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "create a profile":
