• Can I use my Windows 7 Edition recovery disks Home Premium for a clean install on my old Windows XP computer?

  Hello world!  I hope someone can help.

  Can I use my Windows 7 Edition recovery disks Home Premium for a clean install on my old Windows XP computer?

  If this is a recovery from a different computer disk, you are unable to do so.

  In addition, if you were to format the computer, you will need to have a way to reinstall a copy of Windows with a genuine license.

  The best option if you need Windows 7 Home Premium is to buy a genuine license then you can make a custom (new installation).

  Where can I still get Windows 7?

• How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

  Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

  I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

  I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

  How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

  It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

  I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

  I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

  Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

  I look forward to your reply.

• can I buy the old Windows 7 games for Windows 8?

  OK, I'll leave on the side of all the sarcastic comments on Windows 8, which I hate to date very well. I bought a DESKTOP COMPUTER, and I want the FUNCTIONS of OFFICE, not smartphone, uncompressed, etc.. I went from a perfectly usable in a non-intuitive and cluttered environment Windows 7 environment ridiculously all of a sudden, and I have used all versions of Windows since I made the leap from BACK to Windows 3.1.

  But anyway.
  I want the old version of Solitaire and Freecell, the kind that took only a small part of the screen so that you can wait to (for example) or play during boring parts of a Webex (for example) and do not interrupt the rest of what you do.
  I read many messages of complaint on this site and the enormous amounts found in a Google search, and I think that Microsoft has the message that people want the old version but so far did not care one iota.
  So, can I BUY an old version of games? I'm not interested in free downloads from CNET, etc, they have ads and other junk that comes with free downloads.
  I'm not interested in wasting any more time with the dam * "store" "charm".
  Anyone know if I can actually buy the old games? A person stands make money from us oldtimers, if so.
  Thanks in advance for any advice unless advice that I "get with the new times" and etc. I'm on the 'new time' and I'm not afraid of technology. I WANT JUST THE OLD GAMES REALLY SIMPLE.

  Is not obvious because there is no title bar to drag, but you can do as a normal program: just tap the very top edge of the screen and drag and down and each side to snap into place.  The next program you open and then will open in the remaining empty space.

  If you have a touch screen, you can use the same movement by dragging it down, from the top edge.

• Can I connect my old iMac (with no wifi capabilities) to the internet using the cable to my MacBook?

  I have an older iMac (PowerMac 6 bought in 2003) that only connects to the internet via a cable directly to the router. I moved this computer out of the range of the router and you want to connect to the internet again. I also have a MacBook (late 2009), which has Wifi capabilities. Is it possible to connect the old iMac to the internet via the MacBook?

  Yes, this should be doable. On the MacBook, go to the system Pref > sharing > turn on internet sharing via the Ethernet port.

  Windows updates not are not (shouldn't be) which is too much your space.

  Do not uninstall them.  They're going to compromise security if deleted in some cases, stability in others.

  The size of a hard drive do you have?  How much free space?

  Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

  You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

  Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 20 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.  Everything else — and really for most running Windows XP, everything beyond 10 GB, 20 GB of used space - is personal folders.  Archive, move them to a second physical drive, etc.  Or just buy a disc of séraphine, use the app they provide to clone your system as-is to him and continue with the largest disk.

  If you are comfortable with the stability of your system, you can delete the uninstall of patches which has installed Windows XP...

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

  I tried safe mode and multiple passwords and nothing seems to work and every time I ask that's what I like to try or execute something, but I can't run something if I can't get to this window

  JD'sHomePC,.

  If the bios password, you will need to contact the person that you bought it from. They should be able to provide the password.

  If this is not the case, they will have to transfer ownership to you. Dell - transfers of ownership or the transfer of international property form

  After you have the property, then you need to contact Dell for the password.

• How can I connect to my windows vm using rdp?

  I have a vm windows 8.1 running on fusion 8.1 for mac.

  I want to connect from a different program vnc or office remotely.

  I went in the machine virtual windows 8.1 and did this:

  System Properties dialog box, under Remote Desktop, click allow connections to this computer remotely .

  Nothing works so far and I tried all the tutorials.

  My mac is not shared.

  I go to advanced in the Toolbox icon vmware for the virtual machine and click the box for remote sharing and the value of the port 5900.

  In my rdp, I put the address is the address of my router (the IP address I'd find when using whatsmyip.com.

  I launch rdp and don't get any link try the address by itself and address to: 5900

  I also tried this port open tools control Open Port check tool to check if port 5900 is open and it is not.

  I also put mac and firewall security to allow the merger of vmware accept incoming data

  I also disabled windows 8.1 Firewall

  I can't find detailed instructions beyond what I already tried on the vmware Web site or other sites.

  Can someone explain why it does not work?

  I prefer to use rdp on a windows machine to access the virtual machine.

  Unfortunately, you are confused between the different ways that you can remotely control and manage your Windows VM. You tried two different approaches at the same time. Here are three solutions:

  1. complete control Mac

  Use the Apple Remote Desktop or screen Apple shares to control your remote Mac and run everything you want, including VMware Fusion. Launch and run your virtual machines from VMware Fusion on the remote Mac that control you.

  2 use the built-in VNC server of VMware

  VMware Fusion provides a built-in VNC server that provides any running virtual machine remote control. That's what you were trying to redo settings, advanced, remote VNC (port 5900) display. It is a "generic" solution, which allows to remotely control a virtual machine, including invited where operating systems the remote control is not taken in charge or difficult to configure. In general, VNC is slow and not sure, and I would choose this solution if other options are not available.

  3. connect directly to the remote Windows running on your Machine desktop virtual Windows

  Your Windows virtual machine supports Windows Remote Desktop. That's what you were trying to do when you have enabled remote desktop in the System Properties dialog box on your Windows 8.1 virtual machine. With this solution, you control the VM Guest Windows directly. You only control the VM of Windows, as if it were a real physical computer somewhere.

  I highly recommend that you choose the solution number 3. That's what I do. I connect to several remote Windows Internet virtual machines. I run Microsoft Remote Desktop on my Mac to connect to them. I know it can work for you.

  Tips for configuring Windows Remote Desktop from the windows virtual machine

  * You do not have to configure anything on the Advanced page of VMware.

  That I would take a step at a time:

  1. Firstly, you connect to your Windows virtual machine from the local network.

  * In VMware Fusion, configure your Windows virtual machine for use in network bridge. Settings-> network card-> Autodetect.

  In windows, configure the Windows virtual machine with a static IP address on your local network. Search for "IP address static Windows 8.1.

  ATTENTION: Choose an IP address that is not in the DHCP address range (usually provided by your router).

  * Tip: With bridged networking, the Windows virtual machine is independent of the firewall of the Mac. Configure the firewall of the Mac to protect the Mac and configure the Windows Firewall to protect the Windows virtual machine.

  In windows, network test - make sure you can get out to the Internet.

  * On the same local network, connect a computer (Mac or Windows) to the local network.

  * Use Microsoft Remote Desktop from a Mac or Windows Remote Desktop on a Windows computer to connect to the VM of Windows to the IP address that is assigned. You can get Microsoft Remote Desktop, for free on the Apple App Store.

  Default port for the remote desktop on your Windows virtual machine will be 3389.

  If this does not work, then start troubleshooting the problems on the LAN. Don't waste your time on the router if you can't control the virtual machine Windows of your internal network. You can test the Windows virtual machine to the internal IP assigned from the internal network?

  2. do you need to connect to your Windows virtual machine, Internet?

  * Think twice. Are you sure you know what you are doing?

  * Now that you have connected to your virtual machine Windows on your network, the rest of the book is to configure your router.

  * Setting "port forwarding" on your router. It is sometimes called "the port mapping:

  -This will open the corresponding path to your router and redirect entry to the IP address of your Windows virtual machine. The default port for Windows Remote Desktop is 3389, but see the warnings below.

  The procedure varies depending on which router you have. It also has serious security implications. An attacker who can enter your machine virtual Windows can use it to attack other systems on your internal network. You can ask a friend to help secure your system.

  VERY IMPORTANT: once you open port 3389 on your router, the attackers will be noticed and attack your Windows virtual machine. Make sure that you have strong passwords on your Windows virtual machine.

  ->, I would choose another random port (that is, between 25000 and 45000 side public (Internet) of your router and map it on port 3389 on the side the router's internal network.) Mapping from one port to another internal port can be difficult to understand, but almost all routers support it. It's "security by obscurity" (not good), but it stops at most of the stupid attacks.

  * Test the local library or McDonald's or Starbucks.

  Good luck!
