  Hello

  There is NO vista 7

  There is vista or windows 7 operating system

  they are different operating systems

  your question is confusing

  the header:

  "to reinstall windows 7."

  the body of the message;

  "Reinstall Vista ultimate.

  These are forums for more information of vista vista:

  http://eSupport.Sony.com/

  Contact sony and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  the laptop contained Home Basic windows 7 (64-bit) and I want to install windows vista Home premium (32 bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do or tell me the parallel method to move a certain 32-bit operating system...

  I do not understand your question. If the laptop can run Windows Vista, it can probably run Windows 7 too.

  To run Windows 7 64-bit, the processor must be a minimum Core 2 Duo.

  System requirements:

  * 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

  * 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

• I have Vista Home premium and you want to install Windows Defender, but however get the 08x800106ba error message.

  I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

  Where should I go from here

  Hello

  You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

  Read about Defender:

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  .

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

  Hello

  The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...

  Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...

  The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...

  Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...

• Windows 10 on pc itunes is on pc but my CD is on an external hard drive and I want to keep them there, but how can I get itunes to use does them everyone please have a fool proof statement

  I need to download iTunes to use my CD which is on an external hard drive and would like to keep on it. Please can someone tell me just how to do this

  My advice make a library of portable split is a general guide, but as such, it has all sorts of details that you may not need.

  I guess you have previously installed iTunes such as library files were in the usual place of C:\Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes but the media were on an external drive, for example in X:\ < Media folder >, and no longer have access to the old library, or are perhaps new to iTunes, then so be it you will need to start over again. If, then hold down the SHIFT key when you launch iTunes. Keep now until you see a prompt to create or choose a library. Click on create and make a new library at the root of the external drive, i.e. as X:\iTunes , where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Once this operation is complete, use Windows Explorer to move the existing media folder within the X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, rename the folder that you moved as say other media to avoid any possible confusion in the future, select the menu with Ctrl + B bar and use file > add folder to library, to import the file to other media in the library. Will everything that iTunes adds to the library be shuffled around. All that remains in the other media will be happy that iTunes does not know what to do with such incompatible media or album art carried out by Windows Media Player. You can sift throigh this, take what you want and use replacements for all players what you keep.

  If you need me to explain it further, do not hesitate to ask.

• Upgrade the HARD drive and install SSD XP to Windows 7 upgrade - which command?

  I want to make some improvements to my trusty HP XP media center PC m7350n.  Ideally, here's what I want to do in a certain order:

  -upgrade the HARD drive (currently 250 and 500 GB installed, replace with 750 unique?)

  -install an SSD as boot drive (60 to 120 GB?)

  -Reinstall XP restore disks media center

  -do a upgrade 'clean' for win 7 Home premium (64 bit?) from the disc "upgrading"

  The Windows 7 upgrade disk looks like for XP/Vista, so I can't put new hardware and go directly to a cost of Win 7 install.

  Plan a.

  I understand the look of for the minimum size of disks restore disks.  All guess what SSD size would be the minimum? I guess the upgrade of the first hard drive and reinstall XP MC since the restore disks would be trivial (as opposed to their use after a motherboard replacement).  If I have XP MC on the SDS, it is only a reason any Win 7 no upgade SDS?

  Plan B

  If I install the SSD after upgrade to Windows 7, I guess I have to use something like a disk copy program to the boot from SSD HARD disk partition.  SUGESTIONS?

  Plan C

  Restoration of SKIP.  Move existing partitions of 250 and 500 GB drives to 750.  Update for Win 7.  Install an SSD.  Move the boot partition.  Use the same drive for both copy program?

  Am I missing something?

  In case anyone is wondering, I have a spare 750Go drive and the Windows 7 upgrade disk so the only "cost" of this update is to purchase the SSD (and if necessary disk copy program).

  Thank you!

  Don,

  Please read this article by Paul Thurrott more "Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media '. It essentially says you can make a completely clean install on a drive with no operating system. The key is not to enter the COA product key after installation is complete. I, myself, installed Windows 7 to discs using disks 'upgrade' several times without problems of installation or activation. The order I do it with, is as follows:

  1 copy all the files and folders of the 250 and the 500 GB HDD of 750 GB.

  2. remove the 250 GB, 500 GB and 750 GB of computer hard drives.

  3. install the SSD.

  4. install Windows 7 on the SSD without entering the product key.

  5. Once finished Windows 7 installation, enter the product key and activate Windows.

  6. return old hard disks of computer as needed.

  7. install purchased software and Windows updates if necessary.

  You should go to 4 GB of RAM to get the most out of Windows 7 64 bit and you can upgrade your graphics card.

  Note: You will lose all software provided CVS Windows XP on your m7350n. Make sure that you create your HP recovery discs before you proceed with the change of equipment or install Windows 7. Your HP recovery disks can have the factory included HP software... it may or may not work with Windows 7. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

  ======================================
  Did you accidentally create a system recovery
  Your Vista computer drive?

  The drivers and Utilities disc does not include the
  Operating system.

  The following .pdf of Dell to address document States the following:

  To reinstall Windows, you need the following:
  The Dell operating system disk
  Dell drivers and Utilities disc

  Installation guide for the Inspiron

  Best bet would be to check with Dell Support and see
  If it is possible to get a Vista installation disc. Or maybe
  a system recovery disk.

  In addition, a retail purchase may be the answer.
