  • Install Windows 7 Pro the Dell laptop w / OEM Windows 7 Home Premium

    I have a bit of a MESS! Bought a Dell Latitude Laptop online, which was supposed to have Windows 7 Pro.  When receipt he did 7 Home Premium. Found I had problems with some XP programs running and finished by the seller to send me a genuine disc "Réinstallation DVD Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit," Dell and a key COST and product.  My concern - since they are BOTH the OEM versions of the operating system and a new drive a "Reinstall" rather than an "upgrade" - is that going to reformat my hard drive and destroy all my drivers and the factory pre-installed programs?  Dell installs a number of vital programs to run the webcam, diagnostics, audio, secure data backup, etc., and all necessary hardware drivers, but they do not send copies of disc.  How to backup all this?  And then, everything I need to copy from the system to be able to reinstall the programs?  Seems an almost impossible process... A drive to "Reinstall" OEM gives you an option to simply replace the operating system and everything still leave it alone?  I certainly don't want to start without knowing what I am getting into.

    Would appreciate certainly no help...

    Thanks for your quick response. I'm a little nervous because of all the issues that I had with this laptop - then just one last question for confirmation - if I buy a key to upgrade to 7 Pro AND use the Express Upgrade Wizard, it WILL NOT reformat my hard drive?

    That's right, see how it works:

    Hello:

    There is a very good reason that XP does not install.

    Intel did not provide any sata ahci drivers for the chipset that has your laptop.

    That's why you got the BSOD.  XP cannot find the hard drive.

    The latest processors from Intel-based notebook chipsets which had support for XP have laptops with the 7 Series chipsets.

    Not to mention the fact that you wouldn't find any graphic or wireless drivers for XP even if you can get it (that you can't) install.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    You'll need during cratch because there is no way to upgrade a 32 bit OS to a 64-bit version of Windows.

    Check your BIOS to make sure that your DVD drive is set as the first boot device, and then save your settings (if a change was required) and get out.

    With the 64-bit DVD in the DVD drive, restart the computer.

    Choose the "Custom" option and then delete the existing system and Windows partitions, click next to continue the installation,

    Since you enabled the OS using the 32-bit product key most likely you need to activate by phone this time.

  • Cannot install Windows XP Pro on the Satellite A100-411

    Hello

    IA´ve you have a question. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-411 with Windows Vista Home Premium. Because of the performance that would have me much better with Windows XP, I tried to install Windows Xp on a second partition, but on the same hard drive.

    The problem is that it did not work, I put the Windows XP cd in my DVD player, did a restart and started from the cd.
    The first window Windows Xp installation opened and checked my system, but when he did and
    wantet to start the main installation, I got a blue screen, where stood her system was closed due to an error and that I should change my video card, or should I turn caching and shadowing in my Bios.

    But my video card really works and is ok and I can't find the caching and shadowing in bios, so I can't install windows xp.

    So my question is is it possible to install Windows XP on the A100-411 when Vista is installed on the other Partition.

    I did something wrong or isn´t is it possible to install Windows Xp after Windows Vista on an A100-411
    Sorry for my bad English and greetings from the Germany

    Hello

    Of course, it should be possible to install Windows XP on the second partition.
    First you must create the partition. Vista provide a clean option for partitions of creation because the 3rd party applications such as Partitions magic doesn't work under Vista. In disk management you can reduce the size of a partition of first and could create a second partition on the HARD disk free space.

    All your Windows XP CD contain service packs? I myself remember more old CD s WinXP don't were not delivered with SP2! In such cases, it s a good idea to create a clean XP Boot CD using 3rd application called nLite. Its freeware and you could find on the net!

    In addition, on the HARD drive should at least 150-200 MB of free space available.

  • Cannot install Windows 10 Pro bootcamp support software

    I have recently installed Windows 10 Pro on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2015, retina), OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21). After Windows restarted, bootcamp has started to install drivers from support and hung on the Realtek driver. Let him all night but he still has not made progress, so I closed the installation program. Now I can't find how to restart, or to download the drivers and install them manually. I had to hold the option key when you restart back into OS X. According to the oldest documents, I tried rerunning the bootcamp assistant to download USB drivers, but this version gives me the option to restore my drive to its original state. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you.

    I couldn't find a place to download the drivers for bootcamp support and discovered in training camp 6, the drivers are downloaded on a separate partition on the SSD (instead of USB drive). So I wiped the installation of windows and repartee with the intention to copy the downloaded software (which I did). Yet once bootcamp hooked when installing the Realtek driver and did some googling. I found this post that solved my problem. https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/6567790?TSTART=0

  • Boot Camp can not install Windows because of the formatting?

    I have a 2012 MacBook Pro (500 GB to 8 GB memory storage) with the OS X 10.11.3. I try to install Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) using Boot Camp. When I restart my computer after creating the partition, I have two USB ins journal. They say Windows and the other says Boot EFI. When I click on the option of Windows, I am taken to a screen that says that there is no bootable disk and restart with an inserted. When I click on Boot EFI, I did get into the Windows partition and can start set up for installation, but when I get to the stage where it asks me to install Windows, none of the listed drives are able to have Windows installed. I have a list of 4 disks, all drive 0 and then partition 1,2,3,4 respectively. 4 is the one that is 46.6 GB (I created Windows to be 50 GB), so I guess it's that I need to be installed in. However, when I click on any of the partitions, this message appears: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed to GPT disks. Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. "After talking with the Apple support (who told me it was a matter of putting in the form any and to talk to the Windows how do I reformat) and Windows support (who took the opportunity to remind me why I had stopped using them in the first place), I think I have a better idea of what it means , but I have no idea what to do about this. Anyone have an idea how I can fix?

    You have two choices.

    1. use GPT Fdisk to delete the MBR and continue boot EFI. Later, it is problematic when you install the drivers for the Apple hardware.

    2 use a USB2 flash drive and let BCA create setup of USB and partition your drive. No matter what Manual partitioning or manipulate the installer USB can cause problems.
