• I want to use my Windows 8 pre-loaded license to upgrade my old computer

  To comply with my companies policies I had to change the OS in my new laptop for Windows 7. Now, I would like to use the license of windows 8 that came preloaded in the computer to upgrade my second computer. The problem is I don't have the license key and no one can help me to get it back as it is on the motherboard. I paid for the license, and as far as I know I have right to use it on any machine I want for as long I have only on a single computer at the same time, isn't? Now what should I do to get this key?

  Unfortunately, no. If it came preloaded on the phone, it's an OEM
  the biggest drawback of an OEM version and version is that its
  license is permanently tied to the first computer on which it is installed.
  It can never be moved to another. So, you can't do what you want
  do.

• Need help upgrading 10.6.8 to 10.7.

  I have an imac 21 inch 2009.  I have recently updated to El Capitan and all stop working.  Reviews for apple store I erased from my hard drive and started over with my origninal so software away.  I installed 10.6.8 and then I installed my application cd.  None of the applications work without upgrading to 10.7.  I bought 10.7 online but I can't use the app store app without upgrading first to 10.7.  So, as you can see I'm stuck.  Any advice?  Help, please...

  Application CD? What applications CD? The one supplied with the original system? It should work with the original system and probably a few versions later also.

  Are you sure that you have installed 10.6.8 and not only the base on your DVD system that could be a previous 10.6? Using the Combo update for 10.6.8 should put the Mac App Store application on your computer that gives access to the download 10.7 (payware).  You need not 10.7 first to do (or it wouldn't make sense).

• Desperately need help with my old Vostro 1510 which does not start!

  My old Vostro 1510 (my tried & true), I had for 7-8 years under XP Pro SP3.  Its really been a good little machine, but only started to have problems... Yesterday was the BSOD with the 07th code.  Do system restore from the command through the splash screen prompt & if necc doing the XP restore CD & same BIOS reset if being researched necc.

  So I tried to do the system restore to an earlier time with the button F8 at startup... blue screen then said that I had a windows configuration config 32 corruption & I need to use the recovery disk...

  Could not get a cd on the internal disk but finally prevailed in now the eject button then re start the computer.

  I guess it was a mistake to put the restore cd right there because nothing happened, just a black screen... I had to force close by pulling the battery because it is not closed in any other way.

  Tried to restart & it makes the usuall start noise, the "can" symbol lights up at the top of the keyboard along w / all the three symbols to "lock" near her but NOTHING happens... black screen & I cannot get the disc in the CD drive.

  I'm contemplating manually pulling the CD with a paper clip, but wanted to post my question here before I do & ruin even worse.

  I have a newer dell laptop as I expected that to meet his maker someday, but I have pictures on my old I need to save!  You think I would have a copy of these images, but of course I did not!  I don't care if old dies, but I really need these photos because they have great sentimental value.

  Can someone help me restore an old long enough to get my pictures of her?

  Thank you

• Need help to fix a computer using the command prompt

  So, my computer has suddenly crossed an escalation of alarming events, culminating with a very desperate, me trying to get information on the "Command Prompt". I don't know why, how, and it's all heart-wrenching. If someone has an idea of what could be done to fix it, I'd certainly eternally grateful to them. I will try to be as detailed as possible, so I don't miss information that might be useful for someone who know how to use.

  I have an Acer Aspire V5 - 573G, running under Windows 8 64-bit with a 12G RAM, about 1 year and a half old, and this is the story of his unexpected collapse.

  3 days ago the computer suddenly began to show extreme problems with the help of any program. I had let him sleep for a few hours, and when I came back all started running very slowly.
  At the beginning I'm not too worried about I have mostly ran programs dependent on Internet and thought it was a simple connection problem. I have conducted a malware check (which I use quite regularly anyway) and downloaded Avast to see if he could detect all viruses, but everything was fine.

  However, after that them stopping and turning back on the morning, things only seem to be deteriorating. I was not using my computer much at all, but after the second day of the fight with all that I realized that in Task Manager, something was really wide, and the drive was 100% use even when nothing was running.
  Usually, after a few minutes it would go back down to 1-2%, but as soon as I ran whatever it is, even simply open Control Panel, happen very quickly to 100 times (sometimes the Task Manager was sufficient to make this happen).

  I removed Avast and tried to delete the process when I made sure it was safe to do so, but it did not work. I tried after tutorials on the Internet for people who reported similar problems, which led me on a desperate journey funny through Windows Defender removal, an (unnecessary) extreme increase virtual memory (which I brought to the standard after that report maybe just made even slower computer), something to change the parameters of High-Performance mode so that the Hard Drive would never turn off has tried to stop the search and indexing in my session, make a small altar to Turing... nothing worked.

  I ran a chkdsk /f C: who found problems with indexing files / indexed and likely fixed, because when I ran simple verification once the computer has been again this topic found no problem. However, the situation was the same: essentially constant use of the disk of 100% and no way out.
  A sad moment, after hours of attempts, I stopped by mistake the wrong process, explorer.exe. I restarted the computer, and then the problem was still there, at least explorer.exeseemed fine.

  However, when a few minutes later, I rebooted the computer, even once, I couldn't access the desktop more and I found myself in a loop of reboot attempt that has nothing, attempted to retrieve an earlier version of the system but nothing happened.

  The only thing I can do is access chkdsk to see what the problem is, but I'm not sure that I could see a way out of this, even if there was a. The only thing that seems clear is that there is a lot of damaged clusters, that he can't solve.
  This morning I ran 2 other chkdsk /f c:, the results by saying that there was no problem and no further action was required.
  So I ran a C: /R, and once again he told me that there are some clusters damaged in this file.

  Is there something I can do? Someone has an idea of what could have happened?
  My idea was to wait for it to perform this check, run a chkdsk /f /r c: and see how it goes if I restart it, but I could really use advice from more experienced and skilled people.

  The computer has not received any physical damage, not even in the relatively distant past of her young life. Before he started having all these problems he did nothing particularly requiring either, just running a few innocent Assassins Creed II (with 11.9 available RAM for what I remember stats and a Nvidia GeForce GT 750 M, I think not that it should have been a source of so much distress). This is the first time it gives me problems.

  Also, I apologize if any information was unclear or confused, but not only am I a tragedy with computers, I also use a computer in a different language and a few technical terms could have been translated a little too big. If someone needs more information, I can do my best to give it.

• E0448c PC portable Pavilion 17: [need help] upgrading of Pavilion 17 Notebook PC e048ca

  Hello

  I'm working on a portable 17 Pavilion with an AMD Quad-Core A10 - 5750M + Radeon 8650 G Graphics.

  I hope to get better results in the edition and so I would like to upgrade, but I don't know what room do I and can I replace it.

  I think adding double graphs, but I don't know if it's possible on this machine. Please help me in any way possible in telling me what I should and can do.

  Thank you.

  The video is soldered on the motherboard and there is no crack to add other types of video hardware.

  There are motherboards for the Pavilion 17 who have switchable graphics double aliases, but these models use a motherboard completely different than yours. You need to replace the motherboard and the system of cooling of the laptop and you look at maybe $ 400 for parts and labor. And the best video used in double graphics is only marginally better than what you already have.

  You do not have a hard drive 5400 RPM to very large, but slow to 1 TB and video editing can benefit a little faster hard disk access. I recommend either a SSD drive or even a faster drive (7200 RPM) mechanical or hybrid car to get a faster disk access.

  Laptops used for true high-end video editing are mobile workstation usually models that have a lot more than what you can get in quality video equipment consumer laptops and they start at around $2500. HP Z-book would be an example.

  Post back with more questions.

• Need help getting my old PS1 back up and functional. Any help out there for this old compurte

  Looking for help and information to set up my old PS1 computer.

  When I turn on indicates missing parameters?

  I'm not swift on computers, but by train to learn.

  There's also no IE software: Win 4.0 / or basice installation software.

  Try to find some records.

  It is highly unlikely that any software will always be available for this system, IBM would only be able to help.  Regarding the other error, probably a CMOS battery discharged on the motherboard, which attaches quite easily, but the problem with software is probably the killer.  Anything more recent Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0 will probably not run on it.  And even if you can get it running, these operating systems won't get a lot of good in today's online environment.  I would say that recycle and do with it.

• Need help to fix my computer

  Recently, my computer went repair after a storm blew the Ethernet card in my computer.  As I live in France, I had no option but to bring to a local repairman French, but when I came back, I does not recognize my machine in any.  Out of a possible 222 GB, I had only 14 GB of space, compared to the 109 GB that I had before he went to repair.  Apparently, he said, there was a lot of viruses on my computer and erased off to clean it up and then reloaded my files, folders etc. turn it back on.  While I was the the only user on this computer, now it seems that everything has been covered by dell.  Little by little, for weeks, I managed to almost all recover as it should, but I noticed that there are program under me and dell user files.  I am trying to remove the program files in the two users - ensuring that they already in C:\Program Files first.  However, there are some that I don't know where they belong: AppData and AppPatch for beginners.  They should just stay in my user folder, or are they a program?  This is probably a question very silly but all I've ever done on this machine is basically lit, typed and surfed.  As you can probably I'm not computer but if anyone out there can explain in simple language, I would be very grateful.

  Kind regards.

  Program users files are different from those in C:\Program Files and should not be deleted or moved, modified or edited. Nor do anything with AppData or other records related to the system in your user folder.  You may lose access to programs and will need to uninstall and reinstall again to solve the problems.  You can also change your user profile to the point where you're able to access your account or do something with it.  It's one thing to make changes in the Documents, images, audio, music, downloads, search, favorite folders and like this in your user profile - what is normal and expected, and perfectly acceptable.   But please stay away from other folders or you may cause serious problems may not be able to be easily fixed (or may cause you to lose your data and access to your programs and Vista).  If you keep this up, the next trip to the repair shop can be much more expensive and you may lose information that cannot be recovered somehow.

  Please leave this sort of thing up to the experts.  Even I don't mess with these files because I know I can do more harm than good.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
