Install Windows 7 on a laptop computer Windows XP
My wife has an old laptop running Windows XP. I have a whole new version of Windows 7, never used on any PC and want to install on his laptop computer. I saved all the necessary files and folders for it. I can just do an install of Windows 7 on her lappy and if are all the drivers and utilities on the version of Windows 7 that I have? I have a 32 bit and 64, disc but no drivers and disc utilities. I will be able to complete the installation? The answers would be useful, thanks in advance.

Hello
Until you try to install Windows 7, follow these steps:
Go to your laptop manufacturer's website and check if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

HP 15-ac628TU: cannot install Win7 on the new laptop computer
I bought this computer:
http://support.HP.com/th-en/document/c04941658
When I want to install windows 7 (32 bit) he asks a cd with drivers.
There is no HP drivers for windows for this computer.
Help, please!
Hey,.
Thank you for agreeing in @Johnmars3. It is a great place to ask questions and receive a helping hand, solutions and suggestions from the community.
I see that you are wanting to install Windows 7 on your HP laptop - 15-ac628tu. Here's the driver page for your HP for laptop - 15-ac628tu which is already preset to Windows 7 drivers available for your laptop. You will need to use your own copy of Windows CD if you bought Microsoft or another provider to install it on your laptop.
Then, you can use the drivers from the driver for HP page.
I hope this helps!

I've uninstalled it on the old notebook but lightroom still tells me that I have a 'test' version and not a licensed. I logged into the creative cloud with my profile. Anyone know how I can tell Lightroom it's the only 'licence' and not a trial version? Thank you!
Hello
First of all, disconnect, then back into creative cloud, using adobe id to pay for your subscription.

Properly installed Windows 10 on Inspiron N5050 except to start after reboot
After making 1 million bugs (feels like it) very many articles and posts about how to solve the problems of Windows 10 update, I finally got 10 Windows installed on my husband's laptop computer. There is only one problem: it will not accomplish a restart after a reboot. It will restart after power on power off and back on. I hope someone might have a fix for this. I read that Dell says that this laptop is not compatible with Win 10. My husband swears that he said not Microsoft go ahead with the upgrade and we discovered it was true for many other users as well.
I've done the following hotfixes: reinstall an updated driver for the graphics card, uninstalled any software that generated errors in Windows (such as HP Support Framework) event log, changed a number of Services to be manual startup (like Malware Bytes, which is not running antivirus software, however, I use it to scan the computer for viruses) has increased the permissions on the folder Windows reinstalled Win 10 using CD created by Windows Media Creator, off the restart quickly in the power settings, uninstalled the IDT Audio driver, ran sfc/scannow and DISM/Cleanup-Image Scanhealth online and probably more.
If someone have any other suggestions? Thank you!
"I read that Dell says that this laptop is not compatible with Win 10".
I'm sorry that startup repair does not solve the problem with your computer. Don't forget, you mentioned in the first post that "Dell said this laptop is not compatible with Win 10", it is unfortunately true. Please click on the link below and see for yourself.
If you are not able to solve the problem in the near future, I would suggest that order you a windows restore disk 7 in the link below. In my humble opinion, windows 7 is still a great operating system.

Description of the problem: same problem on the computer desktop and laptop at the same time began: cannot install Windows updates (has no status)
No hardware changes or software recently made to the system: I followed the usual procedure to install Windows updates.
Method of connection: wireless
Technical expertise: intermediate level
Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.
Hello amib004,
As much as I know, only Windows Update cannot be run in safe mode. That being said, I saw where install several updates may conflict with each other. Try to disable all updates installation and install the updates failed one at a time.
