On my new computer, Windows has already been installed. I want to return on Widows 7 8 unfriendly. Will I encounter difficulties unresolveable if I attempt it.

In the process from windows 8 for windows 7, I can install windows 7, and then uninstall windows 8 without difficulty?

[Transferred from Internet Explorer]

The main point would be there there for Windows 7 drivers for your computer model. If it is of a particular brand then search the model on their web site and see if there is any what Windows 7 drivers listed. All devices need specific drivers but if some are listed then the system probably came out as a Windows 7 machine and should support the o/s yet.

If it is a built clone system that is the system integrator themselves do not host Windows 7 drivers but the manufacturers of components of individual system such as the motherboard, graphics etc.

Windows 8 Pro OEM has the right to downgrade, standard Windows 8 not so much would require the purchase of a license.

Windows 8 also supports an option called Secure Boot that needs deactivation if implemented as Windows 7 does not work. It is a setting in the BIOS.

  • How do I know if the patch has already been installed on ESXi 5.0?

    I describe the installation of patches ESXi on a group of servers (quarterly) who have not access to Internet, Update Manager is not an option.  I would like to be able to identify if a particular patch has already been installed so that I can jump through a script.

    On ESX 3.5, you might look to see if it was in etc/vmware/patchdb/patch_name.xml, but I can't find something similar in ESXi 5.0.

    Vib esxcli software controls do not seem to accept/meet with the zip file names I can say.  They seem to dig deeper into zip files that I want to go.

    The closest I can find is 'grep - c patchname /var/log/esxupdate.log' for a given parcel (i.e. ESXi-500-201207001) and if there are in the file then it has probably been installed.  In addition, there is no clean text that I can pick up on as "Patch ESXi-500-xxxxxxxxx sucessfully installed" that slows me down. This approach has problems if the script is interrupted in the middle of the installation of a patch. When it is run again, it think the patch as it has already been installed and we could actually lose a patch.

    If there is no way for this identify programmatically, I always install each patch in my quarterly updates (until the patch becomes obsolete).  I can't depend on my user to always run these quarterly updates, so I have to be able to catch up its system, if he missed a quarter.

    Appreciate any suggerstions

    There is no need to install the patches separately one after the other if you use a profile of the host to update your hosts.

    Basically, a host profile is a set of files VIB forming a certain level of patch of ESXi.

    1. download the bundle off line ESXi500-201209001 (or what ever is the most recent) from the portal to download patch (a direct link is https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-360-20120918-947362/ESXi500-201209001.zip)

    2. download the zip file in a shared data store

    3. update your hosts with the command

    esxcli software profile update /path/to/ESXi500-201209001.zip d Pei ESXi 5.0.0 - 20120904001-standard

    (change/path/to the directory of the correct data store)

  • Can I reinstall my CD of Windows XP SP3 on a new drive hard if the one in that it has already been installed is lost or stolen? It will be always authentic?

    I bought a genuine Windows XP SP3 CD (french version), installed and activated, it after finding that the windows came with my computer was a fake. A few months ago my computer crashed, and my father has taken recently to his colleague to repair. The guy stole my hard drive and replaced it with another one cause it new, my father will not understand it, but I did it, the hard drive, he gave a our files, but it was XP in English and a counterfeit version. Applications of now facing guys have lost another, so I intend to install my genuine XP CD on a new hard drive, is this possible? I mean if I do that it will still be authentic or will know it must get another cd (again)?

    Thank you, any help appreciated.

    Hello Haby-Habbes,

    If you have real hologrammed CD and certificate of authenticity, so you have the Windows license.

  • Windows Update tries to install a fix KB951847 which has already been installed.

    I replaced my hard drive earlier this month.  During some updates Windows installs a hotfix has been installed KB951847.  Windows Update keeps trying to install the fix even.  It happens several times a day.  How can I solve this problem?

    • KB951847 is an option, not the security update: feel free to hide it.

      ====================

      1. stop the automatic updates service:

      Start > run > (enter) services.msc > [OK]
      Double-click Automatic Updates > click Stop
      (Stopping the service will take a moment)

      2 remove the contents of the download folder:

      Start > run > (enter) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
      Open the download folder and delete its contents
      Close the window.

      3. go to the Windows Update Web site. Select CUSTOM and allow the analysis to be performed. Uncheck the box/deselect KB951847 and hide ("don't show me this update").

      4. start the automatic updates service:

      Start > run > (enter) services.msc > [OK]
      Double-click Automatic Updates > click Start
      (Starting the service will take a moment)

    Thank you.

    You have hidden from other security updates?

    Are KB2604121 & KB2656405, both in display installed the updates now?

    No I have not hidden updates and Yes these security updates you mentioned are taken into account. Now I am sure that the problem is resolved because after restart several times then fact a manual update scan none are available.

  • Try to activate Windows, error: this product key has already been used on another computer

    (Original title: Hi I get this key product and equipment repaired already in use)

    How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please

    I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

    Hi Christian,

    I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

    As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

    I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.

  • Buy a disc of Windows 7 off of Ebay illegal? It has already been opened before.

    Upgrade the operating system


    Hello my name is Bret, I have a question. Buy a disc of Windows 7 off of Ebay illegal? It has already been opened before.

    Certainly not illegal but certainly not at the shelter.  You have no idea of what the seller will send you, and if they are already using the product key that came with the package, you will not be able to use it and have bought nothing.  Save yourself the potential pain and get a copy retail instead.

For example, this may occur on a computer on which Windows Vista was preinstalled by an OEM installation or Volume licensing and are major hardware changes occurred, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time.

    1. Click Start, and then click computer.
    2. Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
    3. Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.

    To avoid this problem in the future, obtain the latest service pack for your version of Windows Vista, either through automatic updates or direct download.

    To update to Windows Vista and prevent this activation problem does not happen:

    1. Click Start, click all programs, and then click Windows Update.
