New desktop using Aspire with Windows 10

I bought my desktop computer to replace an older XP.  I couldn't load the latest version of the MS Office software on it, and needed to migrate to that, if I could help my spouse who IS using it.  I have a laptop running Windows 7, which I became quite familiar with over the last few years, but I'm much more comfortable with XP.  (I miss some of the things that we used to be able to do with the BACK!)

Because here, I have a few comments and general issues.  First comment is that I've always been annoyed when I want to use a computer, turn it on, and many upgrades are to be downloaded and installed before I can get to what I want to do.  From there, I will NOT have anything in my computer that I don't need.

Issue of one to come: why should I keep Acer portal, Photo AB, AB files, Docs Media AB, AB or the Acer of Cloud version?  I have all the Windows Office software and am familiar with it.  It also works on the machine of my wife and my laptop, that are not Acer brand.  (These programs all came loaded when I bought this desktop computer.)

2nd question, I hope someone can answer: once an update is downloaded and installed, is it necessary to keep the file downloaded to the hard drive?  When cleaning my former office, in addition to the hundreds of files that I wanted to transfer, there were at least that much downloaded the updates of anti-virus software and Microsoft.  They certainly to connect a hard drive!

Thank you

(1) not necessary if you do not use Acer cloud services. If you can uninstall it without harming your PC.

key of the Windows logo + x

programs and features

Select the software you want to uninstall and click on uninstall

(2) you can do a disk clean from time to time:

key Windows logo + s

type

Clean the disc

Click on the first result

then click on clean up system files

wait until it ends to scan and check the box on the list that you want to clean; you will find windows updates too.

(3) personal suggestion, if you have installed McAfee, uninstall it and just use the built-in windows antivirus firewall; going bad less than McAfee system performance.

to uninstall, use this official tool from McAfee:

    Hey tprefling,
     
    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!
     
    Right-click on the zt.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" to launch the program.
     
    See if you are able to play the game.

    If this does not work, turn your computer to clean the start State and see if the fgame plays very well.

    To put your computer in a clean boot, follow these steps:
     
    Note: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
     
    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
     
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
     
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
     
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
     
    5. click OK and then click on restart.

  • How can I install my printer model Dell 720 on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7

    I have the software for my Dell 720 printer, but it will not install on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7.  It works fine on my Dell Dimension 3000 with windows XP.  I would use this printer with my new system

    Dell is not a Windows 7 driver for this printer.  The closest thing they have is a driver for Vista 32 bit.  So your options are to (1) Download 32-bit Vista driver and try to install in compatibility mode, (2) use XP Mode if you have the professional or Enterprise version of Windows 7 Ultimate, (3) buy another printer.

    You can download the Vista 32-bit driver

    No, with Win XP as an operating system, you can only use version LR3.x.

    From 4.0 win7 is a mandatory prerequisite.

    Ditto for Mac: they also need a minimum version of the OS for LR4.

    You need third-party software to do this, I suggest you use your favorite search engine and check for the software that supports this option.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Display problems using Firefox with Windows 7, 64-bit

    Hi support them

    I have a new desktop computer running Windows 7, 64 bit.
    When I use Firefox version 3.6.8 to view my Web site, it displays everything out of alignment.
    If I use IE 8.0 it shows very well.
    If I use my laptop which is running Win XP site displays fine with IE 8.0 and Firefox.
    So I guess it may be a problem with Win 7, 64 bit and Firefox work well together.
    Is there a ready solution to help solve this problem or I have to wait until Firefox came out in a 64-bit version?

    I have an old model of UK 433.la that worked reliably until recently. Following a corruption on the hard drive stopping the loading o/s, I used the HP Windows XP Recovery discs. The option I chose was a reinstallation of Windows XP without reformatting the drive. The copy of the o/s worked OK but when I booted up I get the error "NTDLR is compressed.

    2. open C:\Documents & settings. You should see the old user accounts with data inside. The files will have to be moved to correct the profile after the creation of new user accounts. You can then delete the accounts user.old.

    For what it's worth, it is usually best to back up the files on CD/DVD or external USB hard drive user and perform the full destructive recovery on problem machines.

  • How can I use itunes with windows xp?
