• Message of support HP _re old version of windows

  I managed enhanced W8 to 8.1 W on my new HP Pavilion Touchsmart 15 laptop PC. Now I'm in a quandry on a message that appears in the HP Support Assistant. What what can make this old version of windows be on my C drive? I certainly don't want to delete anything to do with the W8?

  The message:

  "When you upgraded from a previous version of windows the previous version of windows has been saved in the folder C:\Windows.old. According to the number of programs and data files that exist on your previous versions of windows, this folder is very wide. HP recommends to copy all the files old you want on your new version and delete windows.old to free disk space.

  To remove this recommendation from HP Support Assistant results press the reporter or ignore the button in the HP Support Assistant"

  What should I do about this message. I don't want to be wrong?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To please not touch D: and you have a lot of space on C: Windows.old folder in this case could be about 20 GB.

  Kind regards.

• Can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop?

  Original title: windows 8.

  Last year, I bought a new desktop computer Acer with windows 8 and installed my windows professional 8.1 on it!

  My question is! can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop because it was purchased with this PC AND how I to get it back?

  I am braking the rules by doing this? the original key was included with the purchase of my new Acer and I should be able to pick it up and install it on another device?

  If I can't, I'll have to buy a new one to upgrade my old windows laptop 7. I'm trying to save money! That's why I ask this question.

  No, you cannot transfer the original license that is pre-installed on your Acer, it relates to it because it is an OEM license.

  The OEM of Windows 8 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• I want to upgrade my existing to Office 2010 computer. Should I remove the old version of windows before installing Office 2010?

  I have to remove the old version or simply insert into Office 2010 DVD in my computer

  You can do it in place upgrade older versions of Office, such as Office 2007, 2003, XP and 2000 to Office 2010. Therefore, there is no need to remove your current version.

• Free space by removing old versions of windows

  Unfortunately, I've been forced to re - install windows vista a couple of times and it seems that the computer keeps older versions and I ran out of memory. How can I delete older versions.

  "High memory" is an old term is no longer used for hard drive space.

  'Memory' now refers to RAM, to avoid confusion.

  The fact of the application above.

  If this isn't the case, I suggest a clean install of Custom, wiping the previous version/s.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Download disc for the old version of Windows

  I try to download from disc American Greetings CreataCard select 6, which was created for Windows Me, 2000, XP, or NT 4.  Using the program compatibility problems, I had trouble finding a file, since one doesn't really exist yet, as I can not install it properly.  I tried to install it as a game, but although I can now play Soduko, I can't yet create a greeting card!  My computer running Windows 7, and there is no upgrade for this program.  It is created by Broderbund, but I was not able to bypass the older version problem.

  Windows 7, IE 10, Dell Inspiron 17R 5720.    Would appreciate help in installation and make this program compatible with Windows 7 32/64

  I don't know what to use for this, but because I can not install the drive, I'll try this one!

  I use Windows 2010.

  The CD-ROM, I'm running is: MASTER databases THROUGH InteLex Corporation (http://www.nlx.com). It works on my old 1994 Windows, but with my new Windows 2010 I get incompatibility. Troubleshooting compatibility has not worked for this CD-ROM (BVIEWS.exe).

  How can I get this expensive CD-ROM to run on my new computer? I need it for my work.

  Above is Dell way to reinstall Vista from the DVD on your computer.

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
