The upgrade to Windows XP?

Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

 

More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

  • Restore Windows 7 academic downloaded the upgrade after crash HD

    I had a HD crash. My 64-bit machine was running Windows 7 Ultimate, bought a school upgrade and downloaded. W7 disappeared after the crash. I had the legacy Vista installation to a different drive, but cannot see how to download the upgrade or recover activation key again. What's worse, I can't reinstall my Office 2010 (which was installed on a disk survivor after upgarding to W7 so no longer works) because the Setup program is unable to remove the existing version of Office 2010. Even the fixme utility cannot find Office 2010.  Any help gratefully received, any necessary information provided with happiness.

    Thank you

    J.

    First of all, you need get the product keys for Windows 7 Ultimate and Office 2010. They must have been sent by email you somewhere (with a bit of luck you have deleted emails).

    Then you should download Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit .iso and the correct version of Office 2010 that should be in my wiki Microsoft Downloads:
    This wiki should have full instructions to create media. My other wiki A Clean install of Windows 7:
    should be used as a base to install it, but some measures should be modified slightly if you use not a Dell computer, which is to get the drivers from the manufacturer's website is opposed to the Dell one and another key opposed to F12 may be used in a non - Dell PC.

  • If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?

    If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?. Please answer

    Yes.

    You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk

    Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...

    Try to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade online: newegg, amazon, etc.

    Alternatively, try your local computer store.

    This isn't for free.

    See you soon.

  • I need free software to utiliserdans window 7 bluetooth

    I need free software to use in Windows 7 bluetooth. My mini hp laptop have not come with built-in Bluetooth, so help me know where to download it for use in Windows 7.

    If your laptop does not come with it integrated, you must purchase an antenna bluetooth transmitter.  It will come with all the software needed.  Most of the time, you can just plug it in and use it.

    If you buy a Spanish copy, Yes. If you buy an English dub, no.
    You need ultimate, not Home Premium, change language. And even
    Then, you must download the language you want.

  • __lost my photo of microsoft program when I tried to download the upgrade essentials - error loading C\program can windows live \photo gallery\WLXphoto Gallery\WLXPhotoViewer.dll

    Original title: __lost my microsoft photo program when I tried to download the upgrade to essentials

    I tried to download the new update essentials download and three quarters of the way through, he stopped.
    The download was already about this. He said then; "put everything back as it was" when he did. I have
    lost my photo program. It now gives you a nag screen which keeps comeing like:

    Error loading C\program can windows live \photo gallery\WLXphoto Gallery\
    WLXPhotoViewer.dll
                              
    The system cannot find message for message number 0 X %1 in the message file

    0 x %2

    In addition, whenever I boot, the screen shows: "ready to download microsoft essentials" restoration is not
    the ride.

    After starting, the system leaves me alone until I try to open a j - peg or some file im trying to open.
    then the cycle starts again. further investigation, saying that I lost a dll.

    I tried to find microsoft photo viewer download to try to repair the photo of microsoft program and concluded that the
    only way I can do that is by downloading the essential upgrade download because it is attached to it.
    In order to accept the upgrade, the photo program should probably be repaired, as a thought as microsoft solve this Center says there is no problem. all other articles on the net is also not related or doesnot show how to fix the missing dll if it is the problem.

    Hello captain_crunch0,

    In addition to the steps proposed by Ajay, you could try and download and reinstall all Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011.
    This link should be just for the photo gallery. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Photo-Gallery?OS=other

    my hard drive is damaged and I need a link to download microsoft windows 7 x 15-53889

    I have computer hp Pavilion dv6 2140ee laptop with a pre instaled windows 7 x 15-53889 but my hard disk is damaged and I can't do a restore I n ° series for the laptop and the windows product key

    all I need is a link to download the windows

    I was able to access my hard drive and I can see the recovery partition, but I don't know how to copy

    can you help me?

    The only method I can think of requires imaging tools such as Acronis True Image (costs money). It allows to copy the recovery on the new disk partition. Maybe you can then use the appropriate keyboard key (such as published on the HP site) to start a process of restoration of the factory.
