Need to update Windows Vista Pro to Windows 7 or 8, and MS Office 2007 version the most recent which products do need me?
Hello
Hope someone here might be able to help. Running Windows Vista Ultimate Pro OS but realize I have to make the trip up to 7 or 8.1. Can someone tell me how to do this (i.e. should I get Windows 7, then update to 8.1, or can simply go directly from Vista to 8.1)? I'm hoping to minimize the costs that we are on a bit of a fixed income here. Can I use upgrades or what I must have full OS to move?
On the front of MS Office, currently sports Office 2007, but desperately need to move until the most recent is and again, this can be done cheaply? I mean can I pay at a discounted price on eBay or Amazon or I have to go directly to the shop of MS to ensure an authentic copy (but * frown * full price)?
It's been rough, the last 4 years, but I think that things are finally looking a bit and wanted to get new systems / software in place while I still had the chance. Don't want to be caught in the position where Microsoft continues the upgrade / support versions that I run, it's a kind of scary place, unless it is on an old / computer test, but not my direct computer to use computers all day.
Any assistance with this will be appreciated. Thank you all and have a great day!
Hello
Nothing can 'do with it' If you want legal software.
What, whether it's "buyer beware".
It's your choice where you buy your software since.
With Windows 7 Microsoft no longer sells, so you use Amazon, etc.
There is no way to upgrade Vista to 8.1
Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

___________________________
Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.
Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8 drivers available for your model.
If this is not available, Windows 8/8.1 not install and work properly for you.
There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:
Download and run the Windows Upgrade Assistant 8.1 of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8.1 and read the update for Windows 8.1: FAQ here

... then it does not work.Before these updates, the system worked flawlessly. We try to identify the update that caused this problem, but 28 of them fell on a Tuesday. (22/11/2011). These questions are the same with IE8 or IE9 and WindowsXP and Windows7.
Has anyone seen this problem?

I need to activate my windows 7 Home premium and when I look at the bottom of my computer product key essentially disappeared... What can I do to get my product key?
Option 1: You will need to invest in a new license.
Option 2: If your computer comes with a recovery partition, use to reinstall Windows 7, it will exempt the need to have a product key.
Option 3. Ask a recovery disk set from the manufacturer of your computer and use it to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to have a product key too.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
------------------------------------
This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

I'm trying to reduce the amount of space that my Windows 7 backup uses so I've come to the place in Windows 7 backup:
Manage space > view backups...I am then presented a list of three backup sets:
01/03/2012 to 01/04/2012
12/07/2011 to 12/21/2011
23/11/2011 to 30/11/2011I would like to remove the older two, leaving the most recent. However, this doesn't seem to work as expected. If I try to delete one of the two most recent ones (the first two in the list above) I get the following warning "Are you sure you want to delete this backup file.
However, if I try to delete the last one in the list, I get a slightly different error "Are you sure you want to remove the most recent data of the file backup?"-sounds strange because it is clearly not the most recent backup according to the dates it's show.
Of course, I can go ahead and ignore the warnings, but I fear that maybe there are some files in the last backup the value in the list that may not be right more recent set backs.
In 2011, I thought this might be something wrong with the date formats vs US UK (I am in England so the above dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format and not in jj/mm/aaaa) - but now it's 2012 and I backup from 2012 and 2011 games and he always seems to think that the oldest backup of 2011 is the most recent.
Any ideas? Can I delete the oldest backup sets (that is, the two that are from 2011) safely?
Any help much appreciated - thank you.
Simon
Update: I checked on other PCs in the office and the situation is the same - is not only something strange on a PC.

All windows disappear except Composition and Windows calendar when you drag the time indicator current (CTI). When I let go of the mouse, all the windows reappear. I'm sure I've accidentally changed a parameter overview, but I can't find where this setting is. I want just all the Windows I normally opened to stay there while I drag the CTI. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
