is it possible to run both systems, such as windows xp and windows 8 on a pc at the same time

Hi Susan,.

Actually run two at the same time?  N ° having two installed so that you can choose which you want to run?  Yes (as long as your computer can accommodate two operating systems and has appropriate and such pilots and you will understand the compatibility requirements and other rules for software application).

How to do this depends on which two average you and your hardware (you could partition the disk to dual-boot, use readers separate for dual boot or create a similar to a dual-boot configuration, if the two you choose cannot work together in a normal dual-boot or use a Virtual Machine installed on an operating system to install and run the other OS and so on).  Certain combinations will be much easier than others.

So the answer is it is theoretically possible to have two (or three or more) installed, but not running at the same time - but I guess it could be argued that a Virtual Machine means in fact the two BONES are technically running - but that's just the way it seems to me since you can use only one at a time) , but may not work in your specific situation depending on your computer hardware and bios, the software you use, which specifies the operating systems you want to be able to access separately and so on.  To do this, we need information much more to offer help.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Is it possible to run an executable on a Windows Phone 8 Labview?

    If I create an executable of Labview, it will be possible to run it on a Windows 8 phone?

    No, as Mike has already said.

    The reason is that an executable of LabVIEW contains a binary code that is compiled for the x 86 architecture CPU, and access to the Win32 API. Windows Phone general works on the ARM or RISC processors and provided only a subset of Win32 very limited in the past. With the new Windows RT technology that he actually moved even further the Win32 compatibility as it is all architecture is based on .net technology.

    So even if you happen to get a processor Intel Atom based device Windows Phone that would be compatible x 86 it couldn't work, because a LabVIEW executable is an executable format portable Win32 is not a picture of .net bytecode.

  • Is it possible to run legacy MS-DOS on Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit O applications

    It is an old MSDOS executable program that went well in Windows 98SE and Windows XP SP3, but not in Windows 7. (This application works from a file on the C:\ drive, not in program files) I tried the compatibility troubleshooting option, but to no avail.

    N ° could run it in a virtual machine. Sun/Oracle VirtualBox works well.

  • Is it possible to run Windows 8.1 5.5?

    Is it possible to run Photoshop 5.5 on Windows 8.1? I have a CD I tried to run but when I click on install, nothing happens. I already have CS6 trial running on the laptop, so my question is, is this because I need to uninstall CS6 (although I don't have a warning come upward to make me say that everything first before running 5.5, if do not want to get rid of the CS6 trial without ensuring that it is the problem) or 5.5 will not work on Windows 8.1 still.

    Your time and your advice would be greatly appreciated, as the need to know if I need to return the 2nd hand 5.5 CD.

    Unfortunately, the third party market is riddled with fraud. You won't go down inexpensively.

    My suggestion? Take a Photoshop course at a school for adults that allows you to buy CS6 educational discount.  $350

    Except that. and if you really like Photoshop, you can rent at $10 per month.

  • Is it possible to run the restore of the system from a command prompt?

    Plug;

    Dell Studio 540 Quad core 3, 2 GHz (don't remember exactly?) processor

    Ram 8BG

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    In general, everything was working fine until I ran the auto update for Vista. I don't know exactly which updates made it crash (that's the downside to update automatic, I guess?), but what happens is;

    PC powers up correctly, and everything seems to be in order up to and including the connection procedures. Once connected, the first error message pops up saying: "Windows Explorer" is not working properly and has restart. This will make a loop again and again, and as long as the error is running, I'm not able to perform all actions either. The only thing I am able to do, is to run the Task Manager, but if I try to run applications, programs or processes there, the Task Manager itself is in need of a reboot. So, basically, the only action I can perform the Task Manager is turn off the PC safely.

    Helps out;

    Ran memory diagnostics, no error found.

    I ran system restore, not detected no results. (....) According to me, if I could run Vista system restore as soon as Windows Explorer is stable, I can choose a restore point prior to the restoration defined point in chest upward and it will solve the problem.

    I ran the repair of the system, but the PC does not recognize a problem, according to the definition, the start sequence works as it should.

    I ran the security modes to see if I can access previous system restore points, but like windows explore does that no action can be taken. It's the safe mode; Base drivers and base with network connection drivers.

    I ran the command line safe mode, that works very well, but don't really know what I can do from there.

    I have the option to reinstall the OS, but I hope a response must be made of this? My thought is;

    Is it possible to run the restore of the system from a command prompt? And if so, where is the path, finally, what should I do?

    This starts the system restore

  • There is a possibility to run Labview projects or to set them off from a batch file or if the exist and the ability to control labview or run it from an external application?

    Hi, I m a bit new in LabVIEW and I'd like to ask a few questions...

    -There is a possibility to run Labview projects or to set them off from a batch file or if the exist and the ability to control labview or run it from an external application?

    -One API PI or raspberry beaglebone exists for LabVIEW?

    -Power supply Wich can recommend you control with LabVIEW? (some chip solution witn 0 - 30v / 0 - 3A DC)

    Thank you very much for your advice!

    Best regards

    Elena

    Elena,

    I know raspberry, so no comment on that.

    For the rest:

    -Do you want to create tools for developers? If so, we must look in the API of project VI and VI server. If this isn't the case, please compile your application LV as executable and call this one using a batch file.

    -LV prefer specific supplies. LV is a programming language. There are several power supply providers (including OR) which provide directly the LV API for their power supplies. So, essentially, the approach is:

    1. choose food that serves your needs.

    2. check if the power supply has a standard interface for programming (such as Ethernet, GPIB, or if the power supply is PXI, is already providing a programming interface!)

    3. check if the LV API (so-called "instrument driver") is available for the device. In the case of a PXI system, get you a device driver (for example NI DCPower).

    4. check if the LV samples are available (for example in the Finder for example LV once you have installed the driver).

  • Is it possible to run Windows 7 * 32-bit and Windows 7 * 64-bit on the same computer?

    I have Windows 7 * 32 bit running in my computer. But a lot of games that is built on 64-bit do not work in my system. I tried to install Windows 7 * 64 Bit on another partition of my computer. But before the start of the system using the Windows 7 installation DVD, I get an error with the oxc00000e9 status. The info says: unexpected i/o error has occurred.

    My question is whether it can run Windows 7 * 32-bit and Windows 7 * 64-bit on the same computer. If so, how to install the Windows 7 * 64-Bit? Thank you.

    Yes, you can, but you will need to have a permit for it if you plan to have both on the same computer.

    the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is designed to drive 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely. If you want to install Windows 7 32 or 64 bit on another partition or another computer, you must purchase an additional license.

    I clicked "forget this site" and I am looking for a way to undo it. I have heard say there is no way to retrieve the history of a particular site, once it has been deleted, but surely, it leaves some kind of record in the system? I read an article that suggested running the "System Restore" feature which gives me the option to "restore my computer to an earlier time" before that some changes have been made. Would this work?

    Hello, windows system restore will not restore the file that contains the history of firefox unfortunately (it's called places.sqlite). you would need a backup of your firefox profile folder to retrieve such data.

    Please also update firefox - the version that you are currently using is outdated and affected by many security vulnerabilities.

    Hey gogydog,

    You can have a maximum of 3 displays with this unit (depending on your configuration): a connected to HDMI, a connected VGA and LCD integrated Notepad. So, 2 external and 1 integrated display. It is not possible to connect 3 external displays, unless you use a third party (such as Matrox DualHead) material, however the quality/compatibility is not guaranteed.

  • It is possible to run Easy Transfer after upgrading to Win7 AND AFTER installs all applications?

    Update of XP (32 bit) for Win 7 (64-bit).  Transfer easy on the old system and also saved.  Performed a clean install of Windows 7 without any problem.

    The instructions say to upgrade Win7, then run to transfer, and THEN install the apps.  Well, I have not read the instructions and correctly installed Win7, installed applications and now need to execute the transfer.

    That is problem?  It is even possible to run easy transfer now?  Should I reinstall all applications again?

    (I'm not worried for the part 32-bit to 64-bit, I just included this info with full disclosure).

    Thank you
    brand

    Thanks for the post brand.  the transfer is intended to capture data and the status of the user.  He didn't have much to do with the migration of the applications with the exception of the view that it is able to create a report that identifies what applications may need to be installed on the new machine.  in order to integrate the data of the machine inherited from the windows machine 7, we should have run the version of Windows 7 easy transfer on the Windows XP machine before recharging.

    If we capture the data of the XP machine before reloading, then we can re-read the data at any time - even after that applications are installed

    Here's hoping that you captured user data and the State with easy transfer before you wipe and reload.
