install windows on mac bootcamp AND like a machine... single virtual license?

I have a mac and I want to install windows 7 on my second drive to load via bootcamp for when I want to use all the power of my computer for windows based tasks. I also want to be able to install it on the same mac once again, but as a virtual machine in Parallels for when I don't have the time to restart or for the less memory/CPU intensive tasks.

I would be able to do it on a single license key /? See these 2 separate machines and it lock me up?

You cannot use the same key even if it is a VM because it is considered as a separate computer. You will need to use a second key for the virtual machine, or choose an option.

You can buy another copy here (Full Version) for the virtual machine:

  • Installed Windows & 32 Bit drivers and USB ports don't DO NOT WORK.

    I bugh a laptop HP Pavillion 14 TS who came to preinstall Windows 8.1 64-bit I hate so wiped the drives and installed Windows 7 32 bit and now I have a big problem.  None of my network drivers work and 2 uSB ports where I plug in my mouse and other devices of SB to do more work.

    I did a back up of the established SW leader who has all the HP dvers for my laptop but will not install the network and video of divers. And when I try to install the drives, I get the error message saying that they are not compatible with this version of Windows.

    I loked on the HP site under my model of laptop that s as above, but HP don't do my notebook drivers for Windows 7 32. And I looked on both the Realteck site for network wireless Realteck and Ethernet Realteck drivers but none of them work or install on my OS. Intel video drivers do not work either. So I'm really stuck one I can not return to 8.1 Windows as if that 32-bit Windows 7 works on my laptop but most of my drivers is not compatible with the operating system and I don't want not to install 64-bit Windows, I like 32-bit.

    Drivers that do not work on Windows 7 32-bit are:

    Realteck RTL8188EE 802 - 11 b/gn witeless lan

    Die Ethernet Realteck and

    Intel High definition graphics driver

    That don't work at all under Windows 7 32 bit because they are the only 64-bit drivers.

    So can you please post me a link network bth and drvers of graphics from Intel that works with my laptop. I tried many different drivers Realteck and raphics for Windows 7, but none of them DOES not work on my system. And none of my USB ports are no longer works. So, how can I fix this?

    Hello:

    Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on this model.

    Just use all the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model, except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.

    Your model uses only the Intel HD graphics driver.

    The first pilot, you need to install the Intel chipset installation utility and reboot.

  • I'll be able to install Windows 10 from scratch and use my Vista license to activate Windows 10?

    Original title: 10 free for Vista Windows?

    Hello

    I know that Windows 10 will be a free Windows 7 upgrade or 8/8.1 for the first year.  I run Vista Ultimate, and I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 as well.  I'm not interested in upgrading my Vista installation - it's almost 10 years and it's time to start over.  I'll be able to install Windows 10 from scratch and use my Vista license to activate Windows 10?  I totally understand don't want not to support an upgrade of a system of directly to 10 Microsoft Windows Vista, but Vista licenses will be able to 'upgrade' to Windows 10 licenses?  I have not found information on it online.  Everything speaks to us (ameioration) for Windows 7/8/8.1 for Windows 10.  It would be a shame for Microsoft to extend an olive branch to some legitimate users of Windows and others do not.

    Thank you

    tan7655,
    If I read this correctly, you have a portable computer that do not have an operating system on it.  You try to install Vista and get the error.
    You've restarted the Vista installation?  So then you get the same error? If you have tried to install more than once and continue to receive this error, check that the laptop is capable of Vista?  You may need to check with the manufacturer of the laptop to see if it is able to support Vista.

  • I installed windows 7 from XP and reinstall Firefox. However, I have lost the list of favorites. Is there a way I can recover the previous the "Favorites".

    Installed Windows 7 Professional custom in the required form XP. All the favorites were lost in Firefox and had to reinstall Firefox.
    Explorers has maintained the Favorite list, I had to explore - quite different from Firefox.
    Check the programs created separately by 7 to include the XP file. Favorites, registration is not relevant to the list lost on Firefox reinstall.
    Question: Is it possible that I can get back the original Favorites listing lost when the 7 install, or is it 'gone with the wind "?

    I have not read what is happening in an installation of XP to 7. You can find this file on your system:

    C:\Windows.old
    

    If so, you can find one of these:

    • C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\your user name
    • C:\Windows.old\Users\your username

    If so, your old given Firefox might be in there. To explore more, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

    Then search either:

    • \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profilesyour usernameC:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\
    • Your username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

    Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably the one you want to restore from.

    Bookmarks only

    Go down the old bookmarkbackups folder and copy the last two backups in a location such as the desktop.

    The restore feature will replace the bookmarks in Firefox by default (and what you added since the reset) with all like bookmarks. If you want preserve newly added bookmarks, use the first, export function before the restore, then the import function later. The following articles have details:

    Success?

    Complete restoration

    This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect your old wide profile in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

  • 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
