Permit required to run Windows 7 & 8
Hello
- Is this possible?
- I'm breaking licensing rules by doing this, because I use my standalone Windows 7 and as a way to allow the 8 Windows Installer.
Hello
I have Windows 7 ultimate and Windows 8 Pro Upgrade. I'm about to install on a new machine. I would like to install Windows 7 as my main OS (I have a lot of apps that I trust that I'm not sure in Windows 8), and I would like to have the ability to start Windows 8 in a session of Hyper-V to try some development Windows Phone 8.
- Is this possible?
- I'm breaking licensing rules by doing this, because I use my standalone Windows 7 and as a way to allow the 8 Windows Installer.
Any help and advice would be much appreciated.Kind wishes ~ Patrick
I don't know anything about Hyper-V, but I would point out that if you buy and use an upgrade of Windows, you end up with a license, not two. The Windows 7 livense gets subsumed under the Windows 8 a. This is the main reason that an upgrade license is less expensive than a full license.
So, no, you cannot use the Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Minimum system requirements to run Windows XP 64 - bit professional
Original title: System requirements
My computer is able to run Windows XP 64 - bit professional? Its a Dell Dimension 9100.
Hey Brennan,
Please contact Support technique Dell http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/ with this issue. If you use the Service tag or Express Service Code number number you should be able to ID your computer exactly (at least it was at the time of purchase).
If you don't find the information yourself, use the other options such as contact us or forums, or anything that seems most appropriate (as some costs and others take more time and others just guide you).
Good luck!
Kosh
P.S. If you have changed anything of what has been installed originally, let them know because they will decide on the basis of information they have and won't know what you've done since then (as replaced the hard drive or other) which may affect the result. If the answer is no, then try to find out what exactly prevents it as it can be the purchase of a component or a lot too - but it's better to know where you stand.

Can I just move from XP to windows 7 without loosung files already under Xp.
While XP is allowed as a way to upgrade to Windows 7, you must perform a new installation ("custom"). It is always wise to backup your data on external media (burn DVD, copy to external hard drive, etc.) before you do anything too drastic to install a new operating system.

What are the requirements to load Windows 7 DSP on an existing PC
Hi people,
I have an existing PC on which I wish to install Windows 7 OS DSP/OEM.
What is the minimum requirement of the material that I need to upgrade to remain legally compliant?
Some retailers to group the DSP version with a hard drive or a mouse. Is that enough to comply with the requirements of the permit in the DSP/OEM OS?
I would have thought that the requirement would be a new motherboard at least.
Anyone who can shed some light on the obligation to legally charge the DSP/OEM OS on a PC of exisitng?
Thank you
It would seem that I am not clear.
I know that the hardware requirements to run Windows 7.
The contract of specific DSP/OEM that this version can not be used to upgrade the operating system to an existing PC.
Do I have to replace my existing system while it is considered a new PC and I can then legally load a DSP/OEM operating system.
I don't know how to put it any clearer than that.
As with any OEM license:
-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 with the exception of the upgrade to an different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

Cannot install itunes for windows - error: Apple Application Support is required to run Itunes Helper. Uninstall and reinstall (as I did twice)
For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.
Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.
More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.
Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

need to run windows in safe mode with network to have browserws working properly. using IE and Firefox. Web site fisting comes in following correctly sites just waiting for the website tab help
If it works in Windows safe mode, then you have a problem with other software, maybe a security software or a system driver that runs on your computer.
It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

Portege M200 BIOS update running Windows 7?
Hello
I recently took a Portege M200 and installed (via PXE - network installation) Windows 7 above. I want to upgrade the BIOS as is always in the original BIOS (1.1). I downloaded and extracted the pkg and tried to install through Windows but it says that my OS is not supported. I don't have an external CD drive or floppy drive - how do I update the BIOS? I tried to put it on a USB key, but it doesn't seem to be an option to boot from USB.
Thank you!
Jerry> I downloaded and extracted the pkg and tried to install through Windows but it says that my OS is not supported. I don't have an external CD drive or floppy drive - how do I update the BIOS?
Seems that BIOS cannot be updated because Win 7 is not officially supported on this good old classic.
However, AFAIK the VAP (value added package) is required to run an update of the BIOS. So, try to install the VAP. Choose this tool which is available for other models of laptops.> Anyone know where I can find a driver for it? I do not see there are 2 devices not recognized - a 'Base system device' and an 'unknown device '...
