need to update from XP home to Windows 7 Pro and do not want to lose the software I loaded

Original title:

Fusion on Mac

I need to move from XP home to Windows 7 Pro on the side of the merger of my Mac. I have 3 computers I have to do this on.  Then I load the full version and not lose the software I have on the side of the fusion of windows or do I have to use the upgrade. If I lose the software I have loaded I have to buy it again.

I'm sorry for there is no way to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 that can keep your installed programs.  By using the full path or upgrade doesn't make no difference in this regard.

  • Want Windows 7 in English and do not want to lose activation

    Hi, I bought a laptop from the Germany hoping to be able to upgrade the English system (not worth it if it is Win 7 or 8 to win) but I can't seem to find a way to do it safely.

    I don't want to just download an ISO and wipe my hard drive - the last time I did it on another machine I lost the Activation of Windows and install Linux instead.

    I had a try to update Win 7 to 10 to win, but he seemed to want to do it in German, and there was no evidence tab to select English. Can someone advise?

    I have to buy a product key to upgrade to Win 10? Activation on my laptop is authentic, but save the codes did not work last time I updated without a disk ISO original with the code appearing on the side of the case.

    Resolved:

    Subsequently took the risk, and upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Windows Pro 10.

    Activation has been problem free. For someone else - I used the tool of creation of media, downloaded Win 64 bit in English on another computer, installed that version and automatically put it Win 10 Pro on my machine.

    Download 10 win on a machine with a German or any other language OS automatically gives you an upgrade in that language only. I know that I canceled the installation 4 times on my new machine before using an another Win 64 bit machine I own too.

  • Windows 7 (pro?) will not be connected to the non - Internet

    Summary: We do a workshop where we have set up a private network that is not connected to the Internet. We have a fleet of laptops (11 of them) that connect through an open wifi router. The router provides DHCP, and there is also a web server and database on the network server.

    We have laptops with Windows XP and Linux, as well as the Chromebook and Macs. Connect regularly and reliably. However, we had three different Windows 7 laptops of three completely different companies with the same problem. They will connect at first, but then get into a never-ending display of 'limited internet access' cycle, disconnection and reconnection.

    All three of these laptops work very well on all other wireless networks. One of the laptops is Win7 Ultimate 64-bit (not sure the others). Now, this laptop used to work perfectly, but still has this problem. Some other Windows 7 laptops have worked in the past.

    Computers portable Win7 will connect and work very well with a wired connection.

    Then... It is not a problem with the router or the network, since any computer non-Win7 laptop works perfectly. The router is started fees at each workshop, and the problem persists, but * only * on some Windows 7 laptops.

    It is probably not a problem of drivers or virus, given that laptops work fine on other networks.

    We tried to adjust our network "Preferred" and "Connect automatically" in Win7 - no joy.

    Windows 7 has a certain logic that causes the disconnection of a wireless network if he does not have an Internet connection?

    The image (it back up to an external drive as full image) and reinstall Windows XP, update, drivers and everything.  Install any plugins that you NEED to do all that you see here that the bat hurt.  If the problem no longer exists, something has gone wrong with your system from before (corrupt files or your cleaning is not as complete as you think) and if the problem persists - probably something to do with the material. In all cases, you can return to the image if you wish.

    To the extent wherever it is the registry, I must ask, * how * you have come to this conclusion?  Not that I'm defending something - I was wondering what you did to decide who is not your registry database?  (Side: I agree with you.)

    That's what * I * would call cleaning and optimization of a Windows XP machine:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    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:

    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...

    -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).

    Hi JudyWinn,

    If you need assistance for updating BIOS (Basic Input Output System), I recommend you contact the manufacturer of your computer to update the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) & check if the problem persists.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hope the helps of information.
    Please post back and we do know.

  • Windows xp pro sp3 can not get updates - don't stop to check updates and nothing happens.

    For the past 2 weeks I can't get windows on windows xp pro sp3 updates. The green bar that runs while the verification of updates just keeps running and running and does'nt stop until I have stop. No error codes at all.
    Run the fix it tool and indicates "registration for the service is missing or corrupted" and it offers a solution for the problem of the does'nt.
    What is the reference for this?

    I had the same problem and you will spend one day trying many suggestions, including various Microsoft Fix - its, which none worked, and which some worse messing with the BITs service (that I then had to restore, losing even more time).

    In the end, I found that the problem was related to the update of Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 8. There is a kind of incompatibility with previous versions of this update that causes IE stuck when he tries to check the updates.

    The solution for me was to download and install the * last * IE Cumulative Security Update * manually * before you try to run Windows Update to get the other patches. Here's how:

    (1) using the Internet Explorer, I visited the current MS security bulletin page

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin

    (2) from there, I went to the latest summary (November 2013) and found the update of IE at the top of the list: "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2888505).

    (3) I couldn't see direct links for just this update, so I copied the number of the Knowledge Base - 2888505 - and google for "Download KB2888505" (Bing didn't work by the way). This gave me the direct download link:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41074

    (4) I have downloaded and run the update installer and then restarted (as required by the software update).

    Microsoft/Windows Update restart worked. I repeated the same process on a second computer with the same problem and it worked also.

    Hi Nathalie,.

    Thanks for the reply and the link to the article. I appreciate it. While I was not having trouble to download updates, it was one of the update of the files froze during installation. I had gel resulting set before your answer.

    I'm not sure what I did to fix it, but the installed annoying file itself. Here are the steps I took to learn that annoying file has been installed:

    "I restarted my computer.

    "then stop it showed that he was trying to install the file again

    "I hit the reset button on my machine.

    "My machine is restarted, I received the message that my machine was not correctly stop and choose Safe mode or start normally.

    "I chose boot normally.

    "Somewhere during the start-up, something installed or flashed a message

    "My system automatically restarted by itself.

    "On my screen, my computer displays a message saying it was set up my system.

    'My computer restarted again

    "Back to my login screen, I had a repeat of the previous message from my computer's configuration.

    "After that over, I arrived at my office

    "I've manually run Windows Update

    "After Windows Update, I checked the files available, disabled the original file in question and click the button install.

    "These files correctly installed and gave a message requesting to restart."
