New computer, transfer of hard drives... How can I access the files executable for MS Word or, more importantly, Visual Studio 2012?

I had an old computer get taken out by a storm. I managed to save to computer hard drives and installed them in a new computer. I can see my programs MS Word, PowerPoint, etc. and Visual Studio 2012. The problem I have is to find the executables for these programs so that I can actually use them. Is there a work around or do I still have to pay for them? VS is a pro version and more than 2K last I checked! Am I missing just the files in a folder, that I don't see? I seem to be able to find the files exc for other programs. (Rosetta Stone)

Really, I don't want to buy these programs and will probably go to another (more accessible) suite of software, if necessary. I can write the code in other IDEs and use another desktop software which ensures the compatibility of the MS products if that's the case.
Thank you for your time and understanding,
HH

You cannot run programs from the old hard disk, they must be reinstalled on the new installation of Windows computers.

Apart from the home folder for Office who would be in the Program Files folder, directory on the original drive Setup performs a number of other things. It will make hundreds of changes to the registry, install many libraries and sign them and put some files in the Windows directory itself.

Also, if the version of Office that was on the old computer came with the PC, it's more likely to be an OEM license. As such, it cannot be installed or run on the new computer as a limitation of the original end user license agreement.

    I bought photoshop CS6 extended as a student in 2012. I loaded it on two computers. A computer went belly up last week and I bought a new computer with Windows 10 on it. How to load the program on my new computer. I have the DVD disc. How can I got to talk to someone at Adobe? Don't they have any live support?

    Hi wayneharder,

    Use of the download link for Photoshop CS6 Extended below.

    Download Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications

    Once the application is downloaded and ready to install it, need you the serial number to activate it.

    If you already have a copy of one of them, then it's fine, otherwise check out the link below to find your serial number registered.

    Find the serial number of your Adobe product quickly

  • How can I access the files on my Moto G3?

    In my previous phone (a Samsung IIC Plus) there was a Document folder where I could find easily all the files saved in the phone.

    Now, I don't see any similar functionality in my Moto G3.

    How can I save/extract/manage personal files (such as image files and downloaded files) in the mobile? Is there a "document" folder that is accessible? Or should I install an app?

    Thanks in advance,

    The short answer is: it depends. There is a download folder and it is accessible from the app drawer - there's an app called "downloads". Most of the files you download will be end by y. Some applications may do things differently.

    You can also get a file manager application, greater flexibility, and there is a rudimentary file manager under settings-> storage & usb-> scroll down and explore

  • How can I access the CPU multiplier for the Intel Core 2 Extreme x 9000 processor

    I bought a Dell Precision M6300 with an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor. Now from what I've read the page on this system, it can run CAD and other graphics programs. Well, when I had him form the person he had Linux Ubuntu top. It worked fine until I erased the drive and installed my iso of Windows 7. It was REALLY SLOW. To the point, I couldn't watch videos with VLC and it took forever to load Firefox.

    I opened the Task Manager, and it was running at 0.59 GHz! This processor should be around 2.5 GHz. So I disabled the bios for the speed step options and he went up to 0.89 GHz and no longer.

    About a week went by and I now have 10 Windows and it works well, but always to 0.89 GHz I had done more searching and found ThrottleStop. Well, now I'm running at 2.5 GHz, but I need to run this program to have the CPU to where I want to.

    TL; DR y at - it updated for me to be able to access the CPU multiplier in BIOS? This is revision A15. I have an another Dell which is an XPS M1730 and it has a setting in the BIOS for him.

    You have 2 options:

    (a) run ThrottleStop all the time, that costs nothing or

    (b) replace the card mother and adapter which is not worth the time or evil or the cost of repair.

    The maximum speed by default for a 9000 X is 2.8 GHz.  Yes, it's a processor that is unlocked, but not all motherboards include this feature in the bios.  Some laptops allow the multiplier slots, one or two an increase while other motherboards allow any any overclocking in the bios.  It is the choice of the manufacturer.  If your laptop is still usable almost 9 years after the X 9000 was launched, there must be nothing to complain about.

    BTW, Windows Task Manager is not 100% reliable when they say the speed of these processors unlocked and it is not 100% reliable when they say the CPU so best to ignore these data.  ThrottleStop properly reported your CPU to 2992 MHz.  Be happy that there is a free solution available which can completely solve that problem for you.

  • How can I change the file version for PDF files scanned 1.4 when you use the Acrobat XI "PDF from Scanner' feature? By default, it is always saved as 1.5.

    Because our COMPUTER system can only handle PDFs with versions up to 1.4, we function 'PDF from scanner' to store the PDF files scanned in version 1.4.

    Acrobat 9 always recorded in 1.4, but from Acrobat X, PDF files are saved in 1.5.

    Must be a configuration or a setting somewhere where I can change this.

    I already tried to change the standard the Distiller joboptions, but it does not work.

    Thanks for any help

    There are ways to automate optimization PDF using Actions.

    Without doubt, the problem of trying to mix new software (well, not old, not sure why you migrate to Acrobat X when it's already obsolete), with very old software indeed. PDF 1.6 was published 11 years ago. I realize, this may not help, but it may explain why there isn't an option for you.

  • How can I access the file address with all the details and print it?

    I wish I could print the address information, telephone numbers, etc., but not make that one contact at a time, I'm looking for a file that might have all the contact information available in one place that I can access.

    Export your address book as a Comma Separated (csv) and then open it in Excel. Then you can organize the data of any kind you want.

    Open the address book window, and the menu bar, select Tools-Export.

  • Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.

    Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.

    I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.

    Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))

    I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3

    I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.

    The catalog would have another name or extension?

    I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?

    Help!

    HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )

    And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).
