  I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3, 32-bit and IE8.  Do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

  The upgrade to Windows 7 is a personal decision.  Chances are that if you can do what you need to do on Windows XP then it is 'useless' to upgrade.  If you plan the upgrade anyway, you should first check to see that your hardware is supported under Windows 7.  To do this, Microsoft has provided a program of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" to run on your current computer.

• I have a laptop Windows 7 Home Premium, I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.

  I have a laptop Windows 7 Home Premium, I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. I have the installation DVD for Win7 professional provided by Microsoft Partner Network. If I try Anytime Upgrade it note that I have the license key cannot be used for this purpose. What is the best way to upgrade the laptop?

  I would prefer not to have to clean the laptop and do a fresh install.
  The interesting thing is, although the upgrade process Express reported a problem when the laptop has rebooted he went through several configuration steps, and she is now a professional Machine of Windows 7.
  I looks like that I don't have to take the measures described above.

  Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
  Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

  Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
  A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

  • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

  • Install Windows 7

  • Reinstall all your files

  • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

  These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

• Need to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows XP to work purposes

  Hi, I need help.  I know pretty well how to load the XP and get rid of Windows 7 (I have everything necessary to get back when they upgrade their software).  However, should I reinstall all THE software when I change operating systems? (they don't allow me to have a dual operating system or to use Windows XP mode).  I'm sure that I know the answer to that, but what should I back up my files before installation and uninstallation?  Thank you very much!

  The easiest and most logical to do thing is to download and install Windows XP Mode.  This free program allows you to install and use Windows XP compatible software.  It is available if you are using Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition. Carey Frisch

• Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
  Thank you very much!

  Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

   

  Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.

  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.

   

  Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.

   

   

  These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

  · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

  Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.

• Satellite A200 - upgrade to Windows 7 - DVD Player problems weird!

  Hello

  I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 rather than replace my A200, which is always good as new after 3 1/2 years...

  In typical MS fashion, the upgrade was not incident free, but the main problem is that my DVD drive will no longer read my 2007 Microsoft Office installation disc.

  I CAN read the disc I've burned before the upgrade (with files/photos matching on etc.)

  Someone at - it ideas? Tried to update the driver and by stopping the service Detection hardware kernel (such as recommended on a forum of MS), but no luck

  Thanks in advance!

  > main problem is that my DVD drive will no longer read my 2007 Microsoft Office installation disc.
  A friend of mine had the same problem with the disc of MS Office.
  It was not possible to read this disc, but other drives were compatible.
  He cleaned the drive laser lens with a hint of alcohol and cotton wool, and it helped.

• Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have Windows XP;  Recently, I have been notified by Pogo.com (including myself) that I need to upgrade to Windows 8 for better service.  I ignored this notification and has not initiated any changes.  However, when I play Pogo now they show that I've upgraded to Windows 8.  I'm sure it will cost me and I don't want to spend that extra in my computer.  Please tell me what I can do to correct this situation?

  Hi, Sherry,

  Are you sure it's Windows 8, they say that you have gone to?  Would it maybe Internet Explorer 8?

  Press Alt + H

  Select Internet Explorer to see what version you are running (free)

  For the Windows Version, right-click on desktop and select Properties

  This will tell you your current version of Windows.  Windows 8 is not an automatic download.
