new computer windows 8.1

I just bought a computer with Windows 8.1.  I don't like.  Is it possible to convert it to windows 7, which is what used to me?

IRA,

As you can see you have three very experienced technology professionals, who together helped tens of thousands of users, tell you what you want to do is a bad idea.

As noted above, you an also get everything you want by simply installing Windows 10.  Which is totally free if you do it now (if you wait 2 weeks and then you will have to pay at least $ 120 million.  So I would say that you do not delay and do it as soon as possible.  Then, you will have an experience just like Windows 7, on the most secure operating system (and the only one to advance and development goes).

  • Can I use the CD that came with my Palm Z22 to install on my new computer Windows 8 2005?

    I'm upgrading from a Dell XP machine on a computer Dell Windows 8.  My old Palm Z22 driver installation CD will work to load the software into my new Windows 8 machine; or do I need to download a new software specifically for Windows 8?

    After losing almost three frustrating weekends, I finally got my Z22 to synchronize with Windows 8.  You never answered my first question [can I use the CD that came with my Palm Z22 to install on my new computer Windows 8 2005?], that would have eliminated a lot of uncertainty in my many attempts to synchronize with the download of version 6.2 has recommended you.  Fortunately, I wasn't the original CD with version 4.2, because 6.2 has toured with a bit more clear instructions and a new download of http://www.palmdr.com/windows-7-64-bit-usb-drivers

  • New computer Windows 7 and the Wii

    Well, I really have no where else to turn, so I thought I might as well try these forums.

    Basically, my problem is that my new computer Windows 7 Home (I just bought 1 week ago), may not share the router with Wii my brother. This is the router card, as well as my problem:

    Linksys BEFSR41 V4, 4 port wired router-last update

    ISP is Comcast

    Configured for the port before the Wii, using the - Ports 1-65535, both TCP and UDP and assigned a static IP address 192.168.1.111 (which was at the recommendation of Nintendo on the phone)

    Wii has been assigned a static IP (as mentioned above) as it was my computer.

    Wii has the correct entries in the router DNS server

    Wii is configured to use the wired connection

    My computer is a Dell Studio XPS 8000

    We have 2 computers and a Wii connected to the router, everything has a static Ip address. If Wii Port Forwarding is disabled, both, we can go online, no problem what - if - ever, everything is wonderful and quick. If the Wii is enabled on the router, my brother PC and Wii can apply online, but my PC can't. It has never happened before with my old XP sp3 computer (HP Pavilion, record quite high for the time, 9 years old, worked as a beauty ), but for some reason my other cannot share the line with the Wii. Just mine, no less . I don't know what could be the cause of the problem. I did research all this information when we first have his Wii, so everything was peachy until this new computer.

    Please, any help is very appreciated, I traveled more than 4 hours time to mobile phone, only to get the evasive of Comcast and Dell.

    Your TM602G is a cable modem which should work fine when your BEFSR41 resetting to the factory default values.  Note that your modem has a battery in it.  The battery must be removed, for a minute, each time that install you the modem with a new router, or connect a computer directly to it.  I suspect that is the reason why you couldn't get an Internet connection with the last configuration that we tried.  Also, do not connect anything to the TM602G USB port.

    For the time being, until all computers are running, please unplug the Wii.

    For now, please set both your computers in order to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "obtain a DNS server address automatically".  Restart the computer and make sure it is always set up this way.

    I think it will be better to start with a "clean slate" to set up your network, the next step will be to reset your factory default BEFSR41.

    To reset your router by default, follow these steps:

    (1) turn off all computers, the router and the modem and disconnect from the wall.
    (2) disconnect all the wires of the router.
    (3) turn on the router and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).
    (4) press in and hold the reset for 30 seconds button, then release it, then let the router reset and restart (2-3 minutes).
    (5) turn the router.
    (6) to connect to a computer (if possible, use a computer Win XP or Vista) cable to port 1 of the router (NOT to the internet port).
    (7) turn on the router and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).
    (8) the power of the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it's off).
    (9) try ping on the router. To do this, click the 'Start' button > all programs > Accessories > command prompt. A black DOS window will appear. Enter the following text: "ping 192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) and press the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that begin with ' response to... ". "or"Request timed out". If you see "reply from...". ", your computer has found your router.
    (10) open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to the login page of your router. Let the empty user name (Note: some Linksys routers have a username "admin") and in the password field, enter "admin" (without the quotes). This will take you to your router configuration page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually found near upper right corner of the screen). Exit your browser.

    If you get this far without problems, put your entire network.  Then, using an ethernet cable, connect the ethernet on the TM602G port to port Internet (WAN) of the BEFSR41.  Leave your computer connected to the LAN of the BEFSR41 port.   Remove the battery from your TM602G and wait a minute.  Replace the battery in the TM602G.  Turn on your TM602G and let it start up completely (1-3 minutes).  Turn on your BEFSR41 and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).  Turn on your computer.  Now, try to connect to the Internet.  If you have trouble, temporarily disable your firewall software computer and try again.  If you get a computer to get an Internet connection is working properly, then (using an ethernet cable) connect your second computer to the BEFSR41 and try to get an Internet connection active.    STOP HERE and the report with your results, including the results of step 9 and 10, and whether or not, both of your computers working Internet connections become.

    If you can not ' response to... ". "in step 9 above, your router is probably dead. A report with this problem

    If you get a response in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, is that your router is dead or the firmware is damaged. Related to this issue.

  • replacement computers. How can I keep all of my old emails. old computer windows live mail 2011 new computer windows live mail 2012

    replacement computers. How can I keep all of my old emails. I have hundreds of emails in the sent folder and hundreds in my folder of emails saved on my old computer (windows live mail 2011) but when I open windows live mail 2012 on my new computer all the folders are empty. I signed the same account on both computers.

    old computer windows live mail 2011 new computer windows live mail 2012 it is the problem

    Brian

    It is relatively simple as you use and that you want to use WLM.

    You will need to copy a folder from where it is (the old installation) to another place where you know it will be (for example on your desktop)

    The folder is c:\users\your user name\app data (if it is not there, see the note below) \local\microsoft\

    At that point you will see a folder named oddly enough "windows live mail" copy on your desktop

    If you don't see the app data because it is invisible atm.  To make it visible, you need to go to your control panel > folder options > view > change to hidden folders (see figure)

    Once you have mail backed up on your desktop (or where ever) drag the folder from the desktop to the location for the new WLM (once again we C;-... just like above).  Just make sure that WLM does not run in time.  What wont be imported, it of passwords and rules.

    Accounts and data should now be in the new WLM when you open it.

    I have a lot of shortcuts I need readily available and it is very annoying when they disappear without my wanting to do.  I spent hours looking for an answer and I can't change the setting on the maintenance of the system 'clean up unused and shortcuts files' - but some missing I have used very recently - in the last week - so no reason for them to be cleaned - I tink im going to send this back stupid computer and get an Apple!

    I never had this problem with windows XP - windows 7 is rubbish if I can't disable this fundamental thing.

  • How do I download images from my android phone on my new computer WIndows 8?

    How do I download images from my android phone on my new computer Windows 8?  In my old Vista, all I had to do was connect my phone to the USB port and she made the photos.  When I plugged in my phone, the computer makes the lovely chime but don't watch not the phone when you click on "devices".  So when I found this and do a right click on it, I don't have the option of opening. Very frustrating.

    Thank you very much! It's actually pretty easy. People dribble on hatred of everything that is NOT useful and should be eliminated by the moderator of the site! Commons, peeps! We hear enough drib neg everywhere and it cascades (see example above). I paid more than a grand for a great HP with Vista and used for the Tech Cert class and cleaned for my son's graduation gift and he is a writer and player and he loves her and we had win7 and new free heat paste and he's still using it after 7 years. I also have older refurb that run circles around "hater peeps" with bells and whistles that they dislike. I take most of it off the coast of the new computers anywho. A very productive day and catch me on my site of the Pupsrun.com family, when it finally comes out of beta mode. :)

How can I get rid of him. I have a valid license. What is the cost and benefits, the upgrade to Acrobat 9 professional to the latest version (I think it's X)

    No, X is not the last. In fact, X, as 9 is now unsupported. After X XI, after that XI was DC. DC is the current version. No upgrade price from 9 more, unfortunately. You can subscribe to DC, and this is recommended because it gets new features faster and includes future updates (probably will be necessary as Microsoft moves to Windows 10 edition when they feel like it, instead of waiting for Windows 11/12 etc..)
