Professional Notepad: Installation of Windows 7 on a new PC laptop

I intend loading Windows 7 on my new Business Notebook are there any settings I need to change? What should I know?

Thank you

Bill

Hey Bill,.

Windows 7 can be installed on most recent business PCs. There are some requirements and parameters, as you should be aware.

  • First of all, you can not install Windows 7 on a computer with a 7th generation of processor.
  • You must change the version of the TPM secure on the PC or install a fix from Microsoft.
  • You must use the legacy (non-UEFI) mode in the BIOS.
  • You need your own copy of Windows 7 and a license for Windows Professional 10.

You can find more information and measures to http://www.hp.com/support/Windows7and10TPMFAQ

Thank you
Wes

  • Installation of Windows XP on a new PC with a separate hard drive

    I heard many different answers from others to do what I want to do.  Finally, my old PC crashed on me, so I recently built a new PC that is out of date.  I had Windows XP and now Windows7, but for some programs that I want to use XP and this is why I am looking for an extra hard drive to run my XP and of course boot and when I want to.  The thing I heard between 2 different people, that brings me here to find out for myself.  Told that "your code of disk and windows activation is saved with your motherboard you had on your old PC and so it will not recognize it for your new.  The other person has said "if I'm not mistaken they allow the transfer up to 3 different PC with your windows disk.  My question is that I am able to install and activate my Windows XP on my new PC and if so how many different PC can I install my windowsXP on before that I have to buy a new disc?

    Hello

    If your XP is preinstalled on the old computer (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or if you have an OEM System Builder License, it is an OEM license.

    An OEM license is not transferable and is related to the first computer that is installed on the license dies when the computer dies.

    Without reinstall on another computer or activation is allowed.

    If you had a license to retail sales of XP that you have purchased and installed yourself on the old computer, it is transferable.

    The only condition is that a retail license can be installed on a single computer at a time.

    One license is for a single installation.

    And I suggest that you ask in the Windows 7 Forums on the installation of compatible XP programs in Windows 7.

  • Installation of Windows 7 on 3 new Machines

    I have a windows family pack 7 (3 licenses). I'm upgrading of equipment for all three machines and install windows 7 on 3 new machines.  The old machines were wiped and formatted.  My question is can I use the 3 licenses of the machines formatted or need some type of reset so that my 3 new installations will be seen as authentic

    The Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack Upgrade 3 PCs is an upgrade license.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  • I'm not like WIndows 8 on my new HP laptop 2000-2c29WM

    I just bought a HP laptop 2000-2c29WM with Windows 8 64 bit OS on it and I don't like it at all. Can I downgrade the OS by the reinstallation of WIndows 7? I have a full copy I bought for my last laptop that has been destroyed. And where could I find the hardware drivers?

    HEY Jf,

    You can certainly 'back' to Windows 7 - some people and in your case, the drivers for your computer are still available for the change is possible without pain.

    If you think about some of the reasons to stay with this new great operating system, please take a look at some of the ways you can do Windows 8 a little more comfortable while you "make friends" with her.

    Windows 8 has many new features, many of which are visible on the 'front end' where the boot screen took the place of the Start Menu button.

    There are some immediate things you can do that make it easier to navigate in this start screen:

    • Whenever you need to find something - a program, application, or a file, you can go to the screen start dragging your finger (for touch screens) or your mouse to the lower left corner of the screen.  Once the splash screen is up and running and you can see your 'charms and tiles' (large icons), just start tapping anywhere on the screen for the 'thing' you're looking for.  It's your new method of ' search and type ".  You can use whole words, of words, any pieces that you think you need.
    • Consider using the Windows key to make things easier to find and easier tasks.  The Windows key by itself displays the splash screen, the Windows key in combination with other keys do all kinds of cool stuff:

    Keyboard shortcuts in Windows

    Windows key + X

    • If you like the start screen and think you want to do even better, then you can customize it!

    Tiles and charms of Windows 8

    • New Windows 8 Connection Options include the choice to open a session in Windows 8 using your password to Microsoft Account OR the standard 'Stand Alone' connection to the personal computer.  On the surface of things the Microsoft Account login account synchronized sounds wonderful; a lot of people want to take advantage of the opportunities offered.  BEWARE OF USERS!  If ever you thought maybe it's time to use a better, intelligent and more secure password, it is at this time.

    Understand that if you do not use the Microsoft connection, you can ALWAYS easily connect to your Microsoft account later when you need access to the Microsoft store.  If you use the Windows 8 connection depends on how you decide to use the home screen (sometimes called 'Metro' screen) the installation program and the level of connectivity, you need for your Social Media environment.

    • If you like most of the charms (those little smart bar icons popping up with you poke your mouse in the corners), then you can use them as intended.  If it makes you crazy that whenever you move the mouse (finger) in the corner of the screen the charms rise and get in the way, then you can disable the feature:

    • It is therefore important to have backups!  So many people wait until it's too late.

    HP - backup of your files (Windows 8) computers

    • The 'file history' backup in Windows 8 is a new very cool feature you can easily configure to save backups of your data on an external drive.  For example, you might have a mini-tower, a Pocket Player or a USB drive connected to your computer that you can use for backups.  You can use a NAS (Network Attached Storage) system, if you have one in your office (home).

    Example of a network address NAS drive would include the IP address of your local NAS drive, the main folder available for backup and maybe a local folder dedicated for your own files:

    \\192.168.0.1\Data\Dragon-Fur_History

    The backup of default history file intercepts files in your "libraries", contacts and favorite settings and runs a new backup to update every hour all that has changed, i.e. "changed" since the last time that the data has been added to the backup.  Nice.  Under "Advanced settings", you can change the duration between two backups in different groups of ten minutes to once a day.

    You can easily add folders to the history of the leader, by adjusting, files that are in your 'libraries' setting.

    NOTE: If you have a number of files in "libraries" that you maintain for your convenience, and you do not require these files to save to history files, you can always "exclude" these folders of the backup by using the feature "exclude".

    If space on your external drive is at a premium, consider reducing the number of versions you want to keep.  Under Advanced settings, just to the right side, under where you decide how long to keep your backups, click "Clean up versions" > remove anything, you can live without.

    • Don't forget that Windows 8 start faster, too - you'll be operational more quickly with Windows 8 and on your way to what you want to do!
    • All new software coming out - HP and Microsoft will be in the future, be centered on Windows 8 and beyond.  When you are looking for support, most of the applications, the most recent printing software, even the possibility to connect your computer to the rest of the world will depend on more a updated, connected and secure environment.  Windows 8 helps provide this path to the future.

  • Windows 8 on my new computer laptop vaio, what a waste!

    I have a new laptop, a vaio SVS1511L3ES

    After a few problems with my installation of windows 7, I decided to switch to windows 8.

    I did a clean install and hoped that the Vaio Upgrade Tool for Windows 8 lite will install the drivers, but it didn't.

    First of all, it downloads the files, for literally hours. Half the files it downloads are files that I didn't need. (AMD drivers, even if there is not an AMD chip in my laptop)

    Then, after downloading for hours, the upgrade wizard crashes with an error of installation:

    Error

    On the Post Install, line 151: Argument 1 must be of type string.

    Stack traceback:

    1: [Post Install] line 151 in main piece

    Since this happened, I get this same error whenever I start windows, after logging in to my account.

    So I decided to manually install the drivers.

    So far so good, most works except:

    1. key doesn't work don't no, except the volume keys and mute

    2 device manager displays "unknown device" (on Intel (r) Express Chipset LPC Controller HM76 - 1E59)

    3. I can't get rid of the error that I get to the start, caused by the failure of the system initiated by the upgrade wizard.

    I don't really you, how a NEW laptop that I JUST bought, with a FRESH windows installation 8 is unable to operate as normal.

    Why is it I don't need files download windows Upgrade Wizard 8, crashing and then send me errors whenever I start windows?

    Brightness controls do not work why?

    After sleeping with installation of different orders, package installation, uninstalling packages, regedit, msconfig and so now I'm a little frustrated here.

    Change the language for non-Unicode for English in the regional and language settings - administration tab, then restart.

    Mine has been on my tongue. The facility has resumed after I restarted.

  • Installation of Windows 7 in a new hard drive

    Hello

    I would like to replace my hard drive with an SSD laptops.

    I have burned DVD that were made when I started my computer.

    Can I install WIndows on the new hard drive with the CD? If not, how can I get a copy of windows for my new hard drive?

    Thank you very much

    Luis

    Hi, Luis:

    Unless the SSD is about the same size as the mechanical hard disk, that you deleted (probably not), your recovery disks will not work.

    You will get an error.

    I have a solution for you...

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Also, if there is a folder named SWSetup on your hard drive C:\, copy off the coast and he should have subfolders that have most of the driver and Setup files supplied with your laptop (except Office Starter 2010).

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
