Is it still possible to upgrade Windows Me on a very old computer?

Using an old computer as a spare and it has windows installed and am running out of my router, but if I can get it only updated to vista or something more recent would be great for the children.  I looked, and from what I understand, ME and 98 no longer in the system, and not a lot you can do about them.  Am I stuck with windows me on this computer for ever?

Above is the minimum Vista System Hardware Configuration required to run the operating system.

Most older computers have not the modern requirements of material in support of Vista or Windows 7.

And it becomes very expensive try to upgrade.

An alternative best cheap and reliable (don't forget your motherboard is nearly 10 years old), is to buy a new computer with Vista or Windows7 pre-installed, Windows 7 preference, as is the latest operating system and an improvement over Vista.

See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

  • Is it legal to use and the version of Windows XP OEM from an old computer (to be retired) to the lower-grade a Vista to XP computer?

    (I have a few Win XP computers running the great. And I like Win XP.)

    Here's the situation:

    I have also a Vista computer and a very very old computer Win XP.  This computer very very old win XP has been in the dust of basement collection and will be sent to the recycling center.

    Question:

    The two Vista and old Win XP computers came with the OEM version of windows.  (Not the retail version.)

    Is it legal to use the Windows XP from this very old (to be retired) computer to down-grade the Vista to XP computer?

    (Will do that if it is not legal.)

    Thank you

    Skip

    Sorry, no. You cannot move an OEM license on another computer.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • Is it possible to upgrade Windows professional XP 2002 SP3 of Windows 2003 Standard R2?

    We have an old computer with Windows XP Pro 2002 SP3 server is installed.  There is also other software that we need on this issue to run new software, we want to install, but the new software is only compatible with Windows 2003 Standard R2.  So is it possible to XP to Windows 2003 Standard R2 level so that the settings and software on it are left alone - as it is with the Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 7?

    Thank you!
    Jon

    No, there is no path not upgrading to this version of Windows XP Professional.  You will need to do a clean install, which of course would not preserve your settings and/or other software.

    I have an old computer with windows XP home, I bought a new CD with Windows XP Professional, which are my first steps, the second stages, ETC. in the restructuring of this computer. I would like a clean install like this machine is pretty old.

    Go to the linked site:

    Locate and read the instructions to make a clean Windows XP install.  If this looks OK, try to follow the instructions. If you need more details, a Bing or Google search on 'Clean install Windows XP' without the quotes. Locate a location appropriate to the returned list and try it. If you have any questions or problems, do after return and ask. But if you think I'm going to sit here and type the instructions when they are already available on several Web sites, you are in an advanced state of delirium. . So, try and let us know.

  • Windows 7 OEM on an old computer

    I have an old computer of two year with Linux. Is it legal to buy an OEM Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and install it on this computer?

    Thanks for the replies

    But you should consider is what is the reliability of the source.  You do not want to have a product key that is declared illegal two months down the line.

    No. two points:

    1. you can't do an update from XP to 7. You must either make a
    Clean first installation or an upgrade to double - Vista, then 7. I have
    recommend to do a double upgrade, because it doubles
    the risk of problems.

    2. you can't do any kind of update that changes the number of 'bits' of
    Windows from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa.
    So for these two reasons, a new facility would be necessary.

    However, even if a new facility is possible, I recommend
    against it since your time material XP is almost certainly elsewhere
    underpowered to run Windows 7 without problem. And the purchase and upgrading of all
    the necessary equipment is likely to cost more than simply buy a new
    a computer that comes with Windows 7.

    And another point. Switching from XP to Windows 7 will three
    old versions to an old version. In my opinion, it would be much better to
    Go to Windows 8, the current version.

  • Is it possible to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 without loss of programs or DATA.

    Windows 7 upgrade

    Running WIN XP and you want to upgrade to Windows 7, but the only way is to do a clean install, however you can do an upgrade to Vista XP and then upgrade to Windows 7? I don't want to really not resettled devices and software. Thank you

    I have not yet tried, but yes, that would be the way to do it. Make sure your XP system is up to date and works as it should without any problem (never a good idea to upgrade if there are problems, which is just one question for the real problems).
    You will also need to make sure that there are some Win7 drivers for the hardware you have. You can go out with Vista drivers on some things, but probably not on everything.

    And before critics jump to say that you should NEVER update, always do a clean install, I must add that I did upgrades from any version of Windows from Win3.1, and the only time that I had a problem was from ME to XP. And who made no difference on how I did it because the problem was with the third IDE driver that was not under XP in any case. Suffice it to say "... :-)
