  Pass Vista (requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM) and install Windows 7 (just 1 GB of memory for the 32-bit version).  If you buy the "Full" version (not the upgrade version) from Windows 7, you can Dual Boot between XP and Windows 7 (not all XP software will be running in Windows 7 and dual-boot will allow you to continue to use any software that you place a high value on the). More information on dual-boot below.

  You must first check if your Windows XP-based computer supports Windows 7  Go the the computer manufacturing technical support web site and see if they list Windows 7 device drivers. No driver Windows 7 means that you can not (the most often install Windows 7, if this isn't the case find Vista drivers).

  Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:
  Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if your PC is ready for Windows 7.

• Equium A200 - how to get the operating system?

  Hi, my son has just been given an A200 and we put in place a new disk hard in, but we do not have the recovery disks. Anyone know how I could get my hands on copies or how to download the operating system and then is just a matter of inserting the disc?

  Tony

  Hey Buddy,

  First of all I must say that it of not possible to download the operating system. It s just preinstalled on your laptop and you can find it on Toshiba Recovery disk as well.

  If you don t have a recovery disc, you can order one from Toshiba but I m not 100% sure if it of possible old Equium A200. Just check the online store:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  If you can t order it, ask a service provider authorized in your country. Maybe they have such a disc and can give you.

• DisplayLink Core Software cannot be installed on this operating system - Dynadock

  I have an other laptop manufacturers, and I want to use it in my home office, I bought a Toshiba Dynadock. I installed the software and, during this process, a message is displayed as follows:

  "DisplayLink Core Software cannot be installed on this operating system"

  I have Windows XP Professional, version 2002, service pack 1

  I checked my Services and DisplayLink is NOT present. All other elements of the Dynadock work very well (keyboard, mouse, camera, network etc.), but the screen is blank and I have to use scren laptop which goes against the whole object to have the Dynadock first!

  What can I do to load this software? Are there settings that I can change to allow the DisplayLink load?

  Any help welcome!

  Hello

  I'm not expert Dynadock but one thing is very interesting. According to your assignment, you use Windows XP Home SP1 edition. I wonder what will happen if you have installed SP2 with all latest updates.

  I don't know about you, but maybe you really need to install SP2. I don't see any other reason why this software cannot be installed.

  Check maual of the user of the ignition key (e.g. F11) you need to press on when you first ask the computer to access the XP restore partition. If you have a "restore CD" the game that the BIOS so that the CD-ROM drive is the 1st device to start, followed by the hard drive. then power on the computer and "press any key" when prompted to start the installation.

• How to install two operating systems on a single computer

  Original title: windows

  How to install two operating systems on a single computer, xp and windows 7... ?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  For the installation of two Windows OS (called Dual Boot), you first determine what exactly the BONES. Based on this, you can proceed to install the oldest operating system first, then installing the latest OS. Here, in your case, Windows XP first and then Windows 7.
  If you change the order, the latest version of Windows will not work correctly.
  In addition, you can use Virtual PC or VMware to use Windows XP in Windows 7. Windows XP Mode is another version of Microsoft which allows you to use Windows XP in Windows 7 through Virtual PC. You can download Windows XP Mode from here:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/Download.aspx
  To install Windows XP Mode, you must have Windows 7 Professional or higher, with hardware virtualization enabled in your PC (you should check in the BIOS of your PC). If you prefer Windows XP Mode, you don't have to install Windows XP in the above mentioned way. It installs like any other program on Windows 7.
  Note that if you have Windows 7 Edition Home Premium or lower edition, you can try Windows XP using Virtual PC/VMware or dual-boot.

• How to deal with operating system windows 8.1 and apps on usb device

  Hi, I have a laptop Lenovo G505. Windows 8 64-bit was preinstalled in it. Later, I upgraded to 8.1. Laptop is almost 9 months and still under warranty. Since a few days, built Lenovo solution Center alert this analysis of hardware detected failures in one or more devices. On suggestion of Lenovo, I ran hdtune pro app in my machine and it also detected 3 hard drive errors. As my machine is under warranty, Lenovo is ready to replace my hard drive with a new one. But they say that it is the responsibility of the customer to return the windows 8.1 operating system and install in the new drive and their liability is limited to the replacement of the hard disk only. I am not computer savvy and I request concerned to guide me how to deal with operating system windows 8.1 on external media like USB, DVD, and install in the new drive. I also installed a number of apps and paid games. Therefore, I would like to resume these games also files so that I need not buy again. Assistance in this regard is required.

  Hello Mohan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  I can of course understand the situation and will be happy to help with your query.

  Let me ask you;

  • You have the key product for Windows 8 or 8.1?

  You can create an installation media (DVD/USB) for Windows 8.1 and re-install when you want. However, in order to create an installation media for Windows 8.1, you need the product key. If you don't have the product key for Windows 8.1, you can not create installation media.

  You can create the installation media for Windows 8 by using the product key Windows 8 If you have. In this case, install you Windows 8 first and then go to Windows 8.1 through store.

  As far as your paid apps (purchased by store) are concerned, you should be able to install them as soon as you sign in with the same Microsoft Account where apps were purchased.

  You can see the steps indicated by Ronnie Vernon replied on 24 December2013, re - install paid apps.

  You can follow the steps below to create installation media.

  1. Run the program Windows 8.1 configuration or installation of Windows 8 (depending on the availability of the product key for the specific operating system.

  2. When you are prompted to run or save the file, choose run

  3. When you are prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-character product key, that you received when you purchased Windows 8.1 (or Windows 8).

  4. When you are prompted to install Windows 8.1 (or Windows 8), select install by creating media and then click Next.

  5. Select the type of media you want to use: either a Flash DRIVE or a DVD.

  To create a USB flash drive

  1. Click on the USB flash drive.

  2. Plug the USB key into a USB port on your PC.

  3. When you are prompted, select the USB key that you want to use, and then click Next.

     If you have files on the USB flash drive, it will remove them.

  To create a DVD

  1. Click on the ISO file , and then select the location where to save the ISO file.

  2. Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD drive.

  3. Burn the ISO of the DVD file using Windows disc Image burner, or another program DVD burning.

  Note: Ensure that the USB or DVD key that you use has nothing else stored on it and has a sufficient free space to download the Windows 8.1 Installer: about 2.3 GB for the 64-bit version.

  You can also read the article below to create a USB stick recovery.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  Hello

  This may depend on your condition. If the computer on which you want to install the new operating system is for typical home use, then you may want to buy Windows 7 rather than Windows Server 2008.

  Also, please take a look at the underside of the articles that might help you to choose the operating system.

• Partition Recovery - what operating system?

  I just bought a ThinkPad Edge E431 with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit OS pre-installed, but a free upgrade option to Windows 8 Pro (Windows 8 a license with downgrade rights).  Provided Lenovo recovery Windows 8 Pro (upgrade) DVD discs but nobody knows (or how to find out?) what operating system is contained in the recovery Partition from the factory on the laptop?  I expect that it is Windows 7 but the caveats users defined recovery disc to be sure to do a recovery image before moving on to Windows 8, which should not be necessary if the recovery Partition is Windows 7.

  Mtn-high hi,

  Welcome to Lenovo Community!

  We understood that your request is subject to OS pre-loaded on ThinkPad Edge E431.

  If the system is delivered with Windows 7 pre-loaded OS, then the recovery partition will be Windows 7 OS only.

  We recommend to create the current operating system reinstallation disk, and after you create the recovery disk, you can move the windows of Windows 7 to Windows 8 OS.

  I hope this helps.

  Best regards
