• I have to install windows XP/vista before installing windows 7 on my iMac?

  I have an iMac OS x Lion, Im trying to install Windows XP/vista or Windows 7 on my iMac using bootcamp or / or Parallels Desktop. Help please!

  For iMac owners, it is recommended that you use a full version of Windows 7. Because the recent models of Mac does not support older versions of Windows like XP or Vista, you might be in a bit of a problem. Try the following and see if it works:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• It does not start after you install windows 7 on an SSD without going into the bios and clicking on the reader.

  Will change the bios fix it?  If yes how?

  CharlesR salvation,

  This concern is usually caused by an incorrect configuration of the BIOS of your device settings. If you have recently installed Windows 7, then most likely the boot priority is always set to the optical drive or USB (depending on which you have used in the installation of Windows 7).

  The BIOS settings are dependent on the manufacturer of your device, this is why we invite you to contact the manufacturer of your device for assistance by changing its settings.

  Kind regards

• After you have installed windows 10, I can't use apple wireless key board and mouse magic. any solution

  I am facing a strange situation. I used Win7 on BootCamp. Last week attempted to upgrade to Win10. After the upgrade is perfect, I could not connect to the wifi or wired internet. called the Apple support, Windows supports, no one would help you. Downgraded to Win7, after decommissioning, apple wireless key board and mouse magic does not work. Called Apple support, after nearly 90 minutes of interaction with them, ZERO, no solution result. Apple support told me that an Apple engineer will call me at my appointed time. A call came, but no one answered.

  So, today did a clean install of Win10 through BootCamp. All right, BUT I still can't use apple wireless key board and mouse magic. Can someone help me with this situation? Apple & Microsoft support engineers have failed to help out me. Thanks in advance.

  Have you installed the Boot Camp Windows Support software?

• Satellite A200 - 1 GB - trying to install Windows XP Home edition but without HARD drive?

  Hello world!

  Recently, I bought a new laptop, Satellite A200 - 1 GB, and after two weeks of fighting against windows Vista I decided to uninstall it and install WXP whose permit, I bought a long time ago.

  I restarted my computer with the Windows XP cd to the inside and I start the system with it, but when it loads all the controllers and I proceed with the installation of windows xp, it says that there is no disk (probably) in my laptop.

  I hope someone can help me. Someone at - it windows XP installation experience in this laptop model?

  Hello

  The species has been described several times here in the forum of Toshiba.
  Recommend studying a little ;) would use the advanced search option Forum!

  But because you're a beginner, that I'll try to give some useful advice.
  The HARD drive is not visible because you need to first install the Intel Matrix storage controller.
  This controller can be downloaded form or another page Toshiba or Intel page.

  During the installation of XP, you will need to press the F6 key to include this iMSM in the XP installation. You will need an external USB HDD drive to do this.

  But if you want, you can build an own XP CD using nLite software and could understand this iMSM in the XP CD again.

  original title: Windows xp

  Probably no way you can get a Windows XP disk not paying... much less by not paying.

  Find a friend, family member, knowledge, grumpy man who might have a copy of Windonws XP not only the same edition (probably Home Edition), but type (probably OEM), then your friend can use probably stuck product key somewhere on the machine in question to install from the CD borrowed or copied.

• How to install windows to a new motherboard without Windows CD?

  I think that not many people were in my situation here. I will soon get a new motherboard, but the problem is that I don't have my CD. I wrote my key product some time ago so I have that but is there a way for me to get my Win8 back using my product key, but without first using my CD?

  You need the CD, no way around that. But if the cd has been lost, get a

  the mfg replacement, it should be free... If it is a copy of the retail of 8, then

  Microsoft would have done the same thing... If the OS is on a partition of the HD, the HD you

  always have & will use the new MB, then all is lost, unless the same MB correct

  is ordered, then purchase new windows operating system cd.

• No sound after installing Windows 7 on iMac

  I managed to install Windows 7 on my iMac on another partition.  But there is no sound even though Device Manager indicates that the High Definition Audio Driver is working properly.

  Hi fscchow,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  Check if the system is put on mute.

  Check if the speakers are connected correctly.

  I suggest updating the audio driver and let me know if it works.

  Steps to update the driver:

  1. click on the Start button.

  2. in the search box type devmgmt.msc, and then press ENTER.

  3. Select the audio device and right click on it

  4. now, select Properties.

  5. in the Properties window, on the driver tab, click Update driver.

  6. After installing the updates, restart the computer.
