• If I have windows vista on a computer, can I turn it off, buy a new one and get the upgrade to windows 7 on the computer?

  I have windows vista (32-bit), so if I sell it for scrap, but keep the license, buy a new computer, install windows 7 (64-bit) by using the upgrade to windows? When I say upgrade I'm talking about the updated version of windows Home premium, i.e. There is a full and then there is the upgrade (only for those who have vista or xp). I'm not worried about any problem of hardware, or drivers or any other problem, just strictly issues of software operating system (between the license). Please just say yes or no and explain if necissary. Thank you.

  No, you can't sell the license and keep it at the same time. In addition, the Windows 7 upgrade depends on a license previous qualification. If you use Vista as a qualifying product, it becomes an integral part of the license and is not transferable to another computer.

  Since the Windows end user license agreement:

  17. TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY. You can transfer the software directly to a not third parties only with the licensed computer. The transfer must include the software and the certificate of Authenticity label. You can't keep all copies of the software or any earlier version. Before any transfer authorized, the other party must accept that this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the software.

  A complete reinstallation of Vista may also do the trick. Back to factory fresh State (after copying out of the files that you can't afford to lose) by using the restore factory option provided by the manufacturer of the computer.  An upgrade to any version of Windows 7 might just put the questions along with the upgrade.

• the upgrade to windows 7 will eliminate current problems

  My wife's cell phone is currently running Vista. One day the phone let out this blood, and that the said laptop curdeling scream has been infected. I contacted IYOGY, and apparently the laptop had several viruses. They cleaned remotely and installed their anti virus, THE SHIELD. He has never been the same. It takes like 15 minutes or more to start, and that it runs slower than you can imagine. I thought maybe I could upgrade to windows 7. Who would solve the problem?

  In place upgrade likely would do nothing to solve your problem.  If your system is still host malware, that may very well be the source of your problems, the upgrade would not wipe out unless you do a clean install.  Your best option is to either a destructive restore to reinstall Vista on the recovery partition (if your computer has a restore partition - check your owner's manual) or by using the installation diskettes that may have come with your system and opting to allow the reader to be wiped.

• My 80071aa7 error will be fixed by the upgrade to windows 7?

  I was not able to get any microsoft vista updates from my HP Pavilion laptop for over a year.
  The error is '80071aa7' which tries to update, do not and then try to update on every restart, and fails again and again.

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 soon brings me to my question:

  The upgrade to windows 7 will fix the problem or I have to get it fixed before the update.

  Note: I found a solution for vista on RunonFriday.com blog, but it is a long process which seems to be the solution above my head.  Me would rather not attack is if Windows 7 will fix it anyway.

  Any thoughts?

• Question related to the upgrade to Windows 8.1

  I currently have a HP laptop with 4 GB of Ram and 64-bit Windows 7 SR1 running. I'll give this computer to my wife, that his old bridge is going Tango-uniform (UT). I bought a new Lenovo SmartCheck S535 with 6 GB Ram 1 TB of storage. It came with Windows 7 SR1 already on board and he also included disks for Windows 8.1. First of all, I did a set of boot rescue disks and start them on the side.

  But now, I have a question, do I have to transfer my files from HP to Lenovo so that both use Windows 7 SR1? Or. should I go ahead and upgrade the OS and transfer the files.

  I'm sure that happens with a lot of people, there will be a lot of programs that I keep less re - install on the new computer. They are trash who are picked up along the way for those of us who use or service of computers as often we brush our teeth. Oops... maybe it's not such a great comparison, but you get what I mean!

  So, I would be very interested to hear your advice, your success, Yes and even a failure or two, all for the purpose of education.

  Thank you and I look forward to hearing from some of you.

  Original title: which came first - the chicken or the egg? (So to speak!)

  As a system dual boot, the only place where the 2 operating systems interact is the bootstrapper. Windows 8 will take the priority, is somewhat different, as far as it goes, and if you select then Windows 7 system reboots so it can do a little slower. Of course, there will be a loss of disk space but you are then also 2 installs of Office and everything else.

  If you were to go down the possibility to buy a kit Windows 8.1 you avoid the need to do a complete reinstall, because it will improve instead. You also avoid the need to run the upgrade of the store from 8 to 8.1. You must decide if the cost is justified, but in your situation, I would seriously consider that option as well.

  Even if I'm not a big fan of Windows 8 I made the full switch and are accustomed to him, I'm sure you will as well.

• My laptop camera image on the upside after the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

  I have a laptop Asus G50Vt - X 1, which is a 64-bit computer. It had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit installed on it and the unit worked properly with him. I ran the update of Windows 7 Advisory on this matter and he said I could upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. After the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit the images from the camera are all upside. I contacted Asus about the problem and they sent me the drivers updated, but the images are still upside down. Pourrait Windows 7 cause this problem as I know that it worked fine under Vista?

  I also noticed that my dvd/cd player and external hard drives don't stop the execution after that I have quit an application. When this happens, I can't eject the cd or remove the drive from the computer.

• Laptop Compaq CQ58: LAN Ethernet does not work after the upgrade to windows 8.1

  After the upgrade of Windows 8 to 8.1, my Ethernet LAN is no longer in effect. Wireless LAN connectivity is OK. I run the HP Support Assistant and downloaded the drivers for 8.1. Hovever, I don't see a listed 8.1 for the LAN Ethernet driver.

  It seems that you encounter the same problem, I did when I ran the free preview of the W10. I had this error on the card reader.  I have no idea how to solve this problem.

  Is there is no ethernet controller needing drivers in Device Manager, then it is probably the realtek lan adapter that has the number 12 of the code, or it is part of the motherboard that controls the ethernet adapter.

  If you need Atheros bluetooth driver, then this is probably the one you need.

  http://h20565.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?swItemId=ob_127984_1

  Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with question 12 code or ethernet.

  IMO, they are insoluble.

• Problem of button wifi HP Envy TouchSmart 15 j001TX on the upgrade to Windows 8.1

  
  

  Finally, here is the Solution for the ProblemsI facing point 8.1 of Windows in my HP Envy 15 J001TX (D9H44PA) TS

  1 PROBLEM Wifi button (led)

  -Cause - Bluetooth Incompatible Ralink driver (SP64082 Driver Wifi works fine)

  -How to solve the problem =

  Reset you first FORMATER THE System Partition (normally 100-500 MB size) when clean installing windows 8.1 (I don't know how to do after the upgrade via Windows store cause I never have I clean installed from the image ISO of Win 8.1)

  Then after installing Windows install Wifi button Driver Compitable with your system and of course to win 8.1 (SP63752 http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-123643-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en...  in my case)

  Here you can see the effective operation of the Wifi Button (F12 key) after restarting your PC

  Now if you install your old Wifi and Bluetooth Drivers you will ruin everything!

  THEN please INSTALL new WIfi driver Ralink (SP64082 that are currently compatible for win 8 but works very well and were available on the site, only last week here is the link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-125308-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en... )

  The driver Bluetooth Ralink (well SP64156 I do not know if it will work or not cause he doesn't get just installed on my machine gave error file not found and I never retried there are waiting for the Win 8.1 driver compatiblehttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-125314-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en...)

  THEN the underlying problem seems to be Bluetooth driver and above the steps is how it will be fixed!

  In my view, FORMATTING of THE PARTITION SYSTEM is only average stuck reset who have dirtied the old Bluetooth driver!

  2. the NO work of BEATS AUDIO, other software and technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology bit

  The main cause is the INCOMPATIBLES INTEL GRAPHICS drivers...

  If you have installed the drivers Win 8 offered by HP on Win 8.1 What is causing many software malfunction!

  Then please download the latest drivers from Intel graphics for your laptop https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx (in my case 4600 Graphics Intel for windows 8.1 64-bit has been downloaded) it works perfectly!

  You must also install the updated Audio drivers (SP63555, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-124012-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en... )

  Yes that's it everything works fine!  (I suggest that you do not install the Bluetooth driver until HP provides new compatible with win 8.1 setting the LED issue until then I suggest simply do not install and use bluetooth caue you must format the system partition whenever you need to reset the frame and for this we need to clean installation of Win 8.1)

  questions please answer!  tHNX

• Is the complete software reinstallation required after the upgrade to Windows 10

  People,

  I have Win 7 Professional and opted for the upgrade to Windows 10. I have a number of licensed, like MS Office software, complete Suite Adobe and Autodesk software, for which I have no media or installation Setup files.

  My question is after upgrade, I have to reinstall everything on my machine or all these software installations will be kept? Because I lost track of the installation for all these software media, it will be very expensive for me to buy everything new. App 'Get Windows 10' has not reported any of this software.

  This was one of the main reasons I couldn't move to Windows 8, reinstall all of these software are unaffordable for me.

  I'd appreciate any help on this matter.

  Thank you

  SID

  NO.

• Pavilion dv6: Intel Centrino Wireless - n 2230 will not activate after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Model A3E82AV number

  I've been avoiding Windows 10 because I knew something like this was going to happen, but I took the pludge.  Anyway, everything seemed to work but my wireless adapter.  After the upgrade, the rocker on the keyboard turns on and outside airplane mode, and I can't switch to map wireless in Windows settings.
  
  I can get wireless adapter to turn on, go into that in a minute, but if I shutdown or reboot, the problem returns.
  
  I had success in the driver update, or by manually installing the driver, I even read a tip to make the battery, hold the power button down while the battery is out and run it upwards.  I tried to reset the BIOs to default settings.  When the computer feels like it, the wireless adapter will start working after a reboot.  If I have the toggle switch, the light goes from orange to white, I can then activate wireless and connect to my SSID.  If I stop or restart, my wireless NETWORK card no longer works and we return to the toggle keyboard turning power on and off airplane mode.  Device Manager says it is working normally and the drivers are up to date.

  I read a post from microsoft that says VPN adapters could cause corruption while making the upgrade.  I'm a professional, so I got a handful of cards, but also virtual cards VMWare Workstation installed, so I tried to come back to Win 7, remove the adapters, are re-upgrade.  It does not solve the issue.  While I was back in Windows 7, everything worked most of the time, but there were some problems with the programs, etc. which would not work right.  When I upgraded to Windows 10, some of these problems persist, so I checked my backups to make sure they were up to date and did a new install of windows 10.  I am now running a new image with just firefox, associate of HP and the different drivers Intel, I tried to install, and I still can't get the card wireless to tour consistantly on / off power after a reboot.  I thought for sure the nuclear option could solve the problem now I can't even go back to Windows 7.  I did mention to try some recommended drivers Intel, I found in other posts... I also tried to uninstall the driver, and install in compatibility mode, but that has not worked, either.
  
  This one had me scratching my head.  I tried literally everything I can find on the internet in an attempt to solve the problem, and nothing will keep the work of consistantly wireless NETWORK card.  Any other ideas out there?
  
  Looking at the forums, appears not to have a lot of people in all areas of this issue with different brands of computers and network interface cards.  If anyone knows anything else to try, I would really appreciate it.

  FIXED!

  I think so.  I downloaded and installed the bios for Windows 8.  After that, I managed shutdown and booted my laptop 3 times and restarted once.  Every time you start after the installation of the firmware BIOs, the card automatically turned on and connected to my SSID NETWORK.  Since the upgrade to Windows 10 I saw not the laptop automatically start and connect the wireless NETWORK card and he did successfully 4 times now.
  
  The file that I downloaded from the HP Web site was update the BIOs for Windows 8 version F.2D rev A.  The file name is sp68425.  I will continue to monitor and make sure that it was indeed the fix, but all great so far.

  For people who can run on the same topic, here's a recap of what I did to solve my problem:

  Centrino 2230 installed 15.18.0.1 driver
  Update driver Bluetooth 10.0.10586.0

  Updated the BIOS to the version of Windows 8 F.2D Rev A
  
  If you decide to play with the BIOs firmware, just be aware that if things go well, you could cause more damage to your system.  I would only try this method if you are uncomfortable for the recovery of a faulty BIOS installation.

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium: Tray Lock worked until the upgrade of Windows 10

  Since a year now, I have 1 locked drawer for our book of receipt only, easier than all the other printing set to automatically select the default tray to tray 2 (Tray 1 is locked and all)! But I tried the upgrade of Windows 10, that was an epic fail and my cpomputer was sent to the doctor for the day. When I came back I had to basically start over with a new computer. I have everything back to be better than before, but THIS problem! Receipts in Tray 1 and my payment software its configured for Tray 1 specifically for receipts. All other default things that select and always tray 2. I can't anything out of tray 1. HOWEVER, my boss's computer is on a network with it and when it prints a receipt from his computer he properly dispences Tray 1. Yet.

  Help! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

  Hi @L2thaJ,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you are unable to print correctly on tray 1 on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-all-in-one printer. I will definitely do my best to help you.

  Is the other computer Windows 10 institutions, who works for printing on tray 1?

  It looks like Windows 10 and the software you are using does not work with the printer driver, what might happen.

  You are able to print to Tray 1, when printing from MS Word or Notepad?

  Please ensure that you use the latest printer driver for your printer.

  Download and run The printer Installation Wizard. The HP printer installation wizard detects automatically the best print available for your HP printer driver. It is only available for Windows 7, 8 and 10.

  Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!
