New computer with Windows 7 Pro installed - also came with disks to Windows 8 Pro - what I lose everything?
I recently bought a new computer. It was announced to come with Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. Since the announcement, I assumed that it would be implemented for a dual-boot (something that I have never made or used it before).
In another section of this community, I have posted a question, "what happens first – the chicken or the Egg," asking if I would like to transfer my data and applications before that upgrade to Windows 8 or after. I received responses almost half a dozen all recommend that I transferred my files prior to upgrade. With the new software of practice by hand and using a cable standard CAT5, I transferred all my files, including data and most of my applications, my old computer to the new computer. The transfer takes about six hours and I had about an hour of work later to install my pst, BOINC, Malwarebytes, etc..
I decided that today would be the day and I would upgrade to Windows 8. There are three disks to:
1. the claims & recovery of pilots
2. system recovery disk for operating
3 supplemental Recovery Disc
However, when reading the attached brochure, there is a warning very clear that if I use these discs, I lose all my apps and data and will have to start from scratch. In many previous editions of Windows, I remember using upgrade disks. Recovery disks were what I did when I first installed the new computer.
So, I ask, this is the only way I can achieve this? Am I condemned to throw seven hours of work? Y there is a place, less painful alternatives?
Thank you
Steve
Unfortunately, this is how the work of recovery discs, they do not operate like retail disk that will give you the ability to dual boot.
Your options are limited.

I have a new computer with windows 7 Home premium. just installed my Presentation adobe acrobat 6.0 standard, the installation as a warning code 20225 appeared? I also noticed that my residence PDF printer is missing? You can help me solve the problem. Bren
Versions of Windows beyond Windows XP are not entirely compatible with Acrobat 6. The first version of Acrobat that is supported by Windows 7 is Acrobat 8.1 (is no longer licensed by Adobe). The latest version of Acrobat: Acrobat Columbia, six versions more recent than Acrobat 6. You need to upgrade to get all the features of Acrobat.

I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer. All new computers come with Windows 7. Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)? I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back. AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it. I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years. I would like to use XP on a new computer! I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer. Thank you very much!
Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.
If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.
Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.

I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another office.
I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another desktop computer. My son has paid and downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium on this computer (Asus), not knowing that I had the free update. ASUS sent me free upgrade disks. Can I use these on another desktop computer? Or I can download Windows on another desktop computer and transfer my registration to it, and then use the Asus drives on this computer?
Your question has nothing to do with the functionality of Windows Update (vs Windows upgrade), Jan.
That being said, Asus only can answer your specific question. Good luck!

Problem installing with WPS54G on new computer w/Windows 7
When settiing upward the PS on a new computer with Windows 7, I get 2 error messages. The first is: "address is not valid - enter a valid address - try again." The other rises after that: "Put in failure-error Code 87 printer."
The PS is set up on another computer in my home and works very well. The printer is set up on the new computer. Is this a compatibility issue with Windows 7?
Can I fix?
As the Printserver is already installed, you don't need to run the CD for the Printserver again on the new computer. You just need to open ports on computer Windows7... Check out this link.

You can use DVD or CD, but an external drive or a USB is so much faster and easier.
