peuvent windows 7 install a second time on the same PC

I want to test windows 8 without disturbing the thought of my main pc so I swap a spare part main HD then install my windows 7 ultimate, so I install win 8 on this disc and also so can't from discs to continue with my main pc, without the need of re image to end windows 8

Thank you for your quick response.

I would like to install according to your sugeestion B, but I was put off by the instructions on the Download Center FAQ

  1. You can install it on the current disc or you can make an ISO or a flash drive bootable for installing Windows 8 Preview of consumption on another partition, virtual machine or another PC (requires Windows Vista or Windows 7). Download fees may apply as indicated by your ISP.

I took this means I need to Vista or Windows 7 on the hot spare, I am mistaken in this?

You need not Vista or Windows 7 hard disk replacement to install the Windows 8 Preview of consumer. Instructions that you mentioned are for the "setup" file, which is different then download ISO.

When you make an installation ISO DVD, it is bootable and you can use it with a hard drive completely empty.

  • "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. »

    Have a laptop Envy M6-K010DX. Due to a problem of the internet while improving to win 8 to 8.1, the PC does not start correctly, and Windows Explorer will not load. Has decided to "Refresh" of the operating system and is gone to F11 restore utilities. When I go to the utility of refreshment and follow the prompts that I reach a message that says, 'the drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. "I was looking for support for the unlocking instructions and apart from some commands bootrec (which did not work - probably because I don't have a Win 8 disc) not much is available.

    The only access I have for execution of orders made by the tasks Manager command-line and F11. What is this 'locked' drive, anyway? Someone at - it any information on that?

    Hello Lara.

    IF you have updated from 8 to 8.1 and the process was interrupted during installation, this may damage the disc and therefore locked error. "Refreshing" the system would not be the answer that you need to clean install Windows 8 again. 8.1 update can break the bond of the recovery partition, especially if it has become corrupted as indicated.

    You must clean up the installation with the recovery discs, you must have created before you updated to 8.1.

    In addition, if you do not have the recovery disks, you can buy a set of HP or install a regular copy of Windows 8 and then update the drivers manually. HP has the Windows key now integrated into the bios.

    Your message looks like not it was even 24 hours old before you decided to delete it from the original computer?

    I'm sorry to hear you had to do this.

    If you need to HP support, you must contact them directly to your country or region.

    Good luck with the new computer.

    Any brand or model you purchased now, don't forget to create the recovery disks/drive.

    I suggest that reduce you the hardware acceleration on your computer and check if it helps.

    For Windows vista and Windows 7

    (a) open settings display by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking display settings.

    (b) click on Advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click change settings.

    Note that some video card drivers do not allow allows you to change the settings.

    (c) move the material accelerationslider to zero to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

    For Windows XP

    (a) click Start, click run, type desk.cpl, and then click OK.

    (b) click on the settings tab and then click Advanced.

    (c) in the performance tab or on the Troubleshooting tab, move the Hardware Acceleration all the way to the right ( Full position).

    (d) click OKand then click close.

    (e) If you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.

    Hello TP24,.

    I found this in another post, and it can help you.
    Posted by PuntXO:

    Check if the service of 'Windows Modules Installer' is started. Otherwise, you receive an error "not enough system resources to 1450" error trying to start, then this is the origin of the problem. To resolve the issue:

    (1) Open regedit and change the following value:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

    Key: RegistrySizeLimit

    Type: REG_DWORD

    Value: 0xFFFFFF (4294967295)

    (2) restart

    (3) open an administrator command prompt and run SFC/scannow to verify the integrity of the modules of the system.

    (4) install the updates of windows pending (surelly there are many of them)

    Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

  • Whenever I turn on my laptop, the system time is the same as when I stop it, how to fix

    Hello

    I have HP DV6 - 2130ca. I recently had a bug that were not work my quick commands. A support forum, I got to know that if I take my batteries for laptops and power and press the power for 30 seconds he'll fix it. Well, he got the problem solved but since then I am having a problem.

    Whenever I turn on my laptop, time is the same as when I stopped him. For example, if I 'Shut Down' or 'Sleep' at 2: 00 and turn it on, to 17:00, the time would still be 14:00 on laptop.  I tried Googling and found a lot of answers slightly different questions on several support forums by using the Task Scheduler to schedule a task to update time only every 5 min etc, but that did not work.

    If I update manually time using time settings Internet, set time until I turned off my laptop or put it to sleep.

    Please help me. Thanks in advance :)

  • Can I use two cards at the same time on the same computer?

    Hello

    I have two graphics cards, one is integrated, i.e. HD 2500, Intel and the other is dedicated, i.e. Nvidia Geforce GT620. My question is that can I use both at the same time on the same PC. Whenever I try to connect via a VGA cable (per processor) and DVI (via graphic card) at the same time, the screen goes black and when I take off the DVI cable, the screen will return. When I connect the DVI again after log on, there is just the theme of Windows and folders that I opened all get reduced. When I disconnect the DVI cable once again, I opened the folder displays again.
     
    I want to make use of both integrated and dedicated graphics card, I read on the internet that two graphics cards give a performance gain. Also, I'm a gamer. But in time, I bought my PC, I had no knowledge about computers. I want to use two graphics cards. Please tell me a way by which I can use two graphics cards at the same time without the problem described above.

    Yes, you can use two cards graphics, combined to boost performance. But it depends on a condition: the two (or more) cards must be of the same brand. To make it clearer, you can use two or more NVIDIA graphics (thanks to SLI technology) or AMD graphics (with CrossFireX technology, supports up to four graphics card in a single PC).

    But, a mixture of graphics cards of different brand, as NVIDIA and AMD or NVIDIA and Intel or AMD and Intel or NVIDIA, AMD and Intel, can not be used for SLI or CrossFireX.
