Is about to switch from XP Pro 32 to Win 7 Pro 64 b b

I have an SSD for the full version of Windows 7.  XP Pro runs on an old IDE drive.  All the hardware is 64-bit capable. Here's my problem.  There are a few keys of software in the regestry XP I need to convert so I can use the software in the new OS.  I have backed up keys out to a text file.  I have to install 7 on XP to convert keys?  the keys can be converted afterwards?  What is the best way to achieve this?

Some software (for most games) has been a unique activation and cannot be reinstalled.

You can learn more about how it works in the following article:

    Can I switch from Acrobat Pro 11 DC Pro?

    Hey marcp30425730,

    If you are using a subscription cloud creative or Acrobat XI, then you will get a free update to Acrobat DC.

    You can install and activate the subscription DC Acrobat on your machine using the same Adobe ID credentials.

    On the other hand, if you have Acrobat Pro XI, you can not use the same serial key to activate Acrobat DC.

    You must purchase a separate license for the DC version, but you will qualify for a reduced price when you purchase the perpetual license.

    Hope this information helps you. Let me know if you have other queries.

    I would definitely you help.

    Kind regards

  • Question about switching from XP pro to Vista on a Tecra A9 - 102

    Hi can anyone help... I am looking to buy a laptop Tecra (probably A9-102) with Windows XP Pro already installed, but I'm wanting to be sure, I can't be upgraded to Windows Vista in the future?

    Hello

    If you see the Toshiba download under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support page & downloads you will see that Tecra A9 is supported in Vista and everything you need for Vista you can download here.

    Because of this, you can buy this laptop model and enjoy WXP or Vista operating system.

  • If I switch from XP Pro tp Windows will I have program compatibility problems - as with Adobe Acrobat, Corel WordPerfect, MS Office 7, etc.

    If I update to Windows XP Pro tp will be I have compatibility problems of program - as with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, Adobe Photoshop, Corel Word Perfect X 3, 7 of MS Office, MS Project 10, Blackberry Desktop Manager, etc..  The facility will be transparent by keeping all of my existing files / content? I need to reload any program?

    What version of Windows you are migrating towards?

    Check the compatibility of each program by accessing the Web site of the Publisher. In addition, many companies, such as Adobe, have their own forums which will give experiences of other users to use a particular version of a program on a particular version of Windows.

    If you upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can use the compatibility of Microsoft here for a guide Center:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win8/CompatCenter/Home?Language=en-US .

    (I personally prefer to check sites and forums of the manufacturer however)

  • Can I switch from Vista 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit on hp pavillion d4790y?

    I have 2 gig ram, but really need to accelerate up to 8 GB. I would also like to get win 7 for the office. Before all this, I need to know since my current OS is 32-bit, but 64-bit capable, if I install windows 7 64 bit will it pass from 32 to 64? And then the 8 GB of RAM will actually work if I buy that as well? Will I run into all the problems of the material inside (processor or motherboard (intel core 2 cpu [email protected] ghz))? I do not understand 32-bit to 64-bit conversions... Thank you

    Hi, Ciaroman:

    As I explained to wb2001, there is a difference between an upgrade on the spot and a custom (new installation).

    An upgrade in place means that you keep all of your files, programs and settings when you upgrade to Windows 7.

    While I always recommend backing up your files in case something goes wrong, all you do is pop in the disk on the Windows desktop and it installs Windows 7 and other than that, your PC is just the way it was before you upgrade, except that you now have Windows 7 instead of Windows Vista.

    You may need to install a couple of pilots, but that should be all you need to do.

    When you move from a 32-bit to a 64 bit OS OS, you can do an upgrade on the spot.

    You have to backup all your files and completely reload all programs, files and personal settings once your new 64-bit OS is installed.

    This installation method is called a custom or clean installation.

    Now as for the memory... Basically, Crucial memory is the same as the memory that I posted from NewEgg.

    If you feel 'safer' purchase of Crucial, by all means do so.

    I just give you options for less expensive, but also as a decent memory.

    This choice is yours.

    I can't say, I bought my memory from NewEgg (essential or patriot) for laptops and for a few years now and never had a problem with backward compatibility still.

    Here's an article on the latency CASE that explains better that I could. Basically the more latency, faster memory performs. This is not the same as the speed in MHz, it performs to.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_latency

    So, as the number 5 of the same 800 Mhz memory chip should give you a slightly better Windows experience index # a chip number 6.

    I'm not an expert of memory. I didn't even know there were fleas in CASE 5 PC2-6400. I thought they were all CASES 6 and that all modules in memory PC2-5300 cases5.

    In any case, I went with Crucial memory because it was cheaper at the time.

    So, to summarize...

    Upgrade on-site is NOT the same as a custom upgrade.

    In place keeps all the files and settings and install just the OS on the existing.

    Custom: All files and programs must be reinstalled after installing the OS.

    CASE 5 memory 'faster' than the memory of 6 CASES.

    Just for fun, when you get your floppy drive to install W7 (I recommend buying retail package so that you get a 32 bit version and 64), put the 64 bit OS installation disc in the DVD drive on the windows desktop and see what happens.

    Then, remove the disc and insert the W7 32-bit installation disk and see what happens.

    You will then have proof positive, there is no way you can do an inplace upgrade to an OS 64-bit to a 32 bit OS.

    Personally, I would do a custom (clean install) of a 32 to an OS 32 bit or 64 64-bit OS anyway. I am suspicious of an upgrade inplace carrying luggage old to the new facility.

    Please report if you have any other questions or need additional assistance.

    I have tried what you're doing, but here's my proposal.  Go to the BIOS, turn off switchable graphics and OS detection.  Select the chart.   Start each OS (maybe twice).

    Of course you'll switchable capacity 7.  XP does not support in any case. Or does not the last time I looked.

  • Problems switching from Palm to Outlook Dekstop

    Hello

    I'm doing the same thing - I always Sync my Tungsten E use of Palm Desktop on my PC (to work) and my Mac (at home).
    but now I want to sync with my Outlook 2007 calendar to work.  I have both used the CD that came with my Tungsten and downloaded a new copy of the Palm
    Desktop 4.1.4 but never at any point in the installation process that I am asked to choose to sync with Outlook or Palm Desktop, so the tungsten continuous
    for synchronization with Palm Desktop.

    I downloaded and installed the Updater of pipes Palm Outlook 2007 I saw recommended to that effect in another thread,
    Although I looked in my HD and the folder that contains it is empty.  Also, if I go to the start menu / programs, I don't have Palm Desktop, nothing that comes
    said 'Palm tree' or 'PalmOne', so I guess that the Conduit Updater has not been installed properly?  I remember that once the installation
    finished, a window is come to the top that said I might need to restart, and that if I restart it, the update automatically open when you restart and ask me to
    continue.  He never told me I should certainly restarts, and whether or not I did, nothing happened after that.

    Any ideas?

    I am running Windows XP with Office 2007.

    Thank you

    Re: HELP - switch from Palm to Outlook

    2 choices

    1. launch the cd supplied with your device and choose
    change the synchronization method, and then click Synchronize with Microsoft Outlook

    2. go to start / all programs/palm or palm0ne/pim conduit
    synchronization/synchronization with Outlook on your computer

    If you use the software from the CD there should be a mixer included thereon. so even if you were not invited to choose between outlook and palm desktop, you can always on after installation if in case you want to. However, im still pretty confused to hear that he has not asked allows you to choose between the two ducts Manager. in any case, here's how to make the switch.

    1. After installing palm desktop cd for tungsten e

    2 browse the cd by the menu/button to boot your PC right click and select Explorer

    3. Locate the CD-ROM drive in your PC when the CD is inserted

    4. open the CD and find the folder called PostInstall

    5. inside of this folder, you can see 4 folders in which 3 of them are .exe files (Blender of togo, versamail and prospects of the docs)

    6. choose selector Outlook by double clicking it

    If you encounter an error when you try to go, your installation is not complete and it must remove. but otherwise, just follow the instructions on the screen. You can also switch to 4.2 where you can see this mixer in palm under Programs folder but try you this option first if you do not upload to the web.

    Cs6 Dreamweaver crashes when switching from design to live view

    I'll try later, but I think I may have found the problem. It seems that the cs6 dreamweaver made two files confquration on the same day, but only about 4 hours out. This does not seem normal to me.  Does anyone know why an expensive program like this would do that? Was it a mistake of the operator? I asked the woman who runs this program and she doesn't know anything about the configuration files. Here's what show folders > C:\Users\cyn\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\confiquration, configuration-1

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can do everything, but you know how old your laptop is? In my opinion Windows 7 isn't the first choice for good old classic. It of designed for Windows XP and you should be satisfied with this OS.

    In my opinion, Windows XP is the best choice for old books, that they are not designed for Windows 7.
