• Accidentally, I bought the Windows 7 Professional upgrade and does not have an earlier version of Windows

  Hello

  Recently I bought Windows 7 Professional upgrade because of the student discount, I had about it, not realizing it was only an upgrade. I do not have an earlier version of windows, and so now I have a copy of UN activated Windows. My question is can I buy an old vista or XP and just plug this code? It is said the upgrade works from previous versions and because I already bought the upgrade I look forward to having to buy a brand to the copy of windows 7, if I buy xp or vista.
  Thanks for your help.

  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.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Note: You will not have to activate the previous license, just install.

  Option 2:

  Call the Activation Center and explain your situation.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

• Anyone know where I can find FreeCell Solitaire 'traditional' in & used by earlier versions of Windows (I had Vista)?

  Fortunately I download from the Internet if necessary - I like to keep a 'traditional' desktop shortcut (I don't like or use the new windows desktop 8). I can't find games with the same background, the bridges of photo tips for FreeCell, and ability to delete FreeCell statistics.

  I know that these games, but a lot changed on Windows 8, but I would like to than the original versions.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  In windows 8, you can download and install games on Windows Store. Games are embedded as in previous versions of Windows are not present in Windows 8. You can download Microsoft Solitaire Collection in the Windows store that includes 5 variants of Solitaire (Klondike, FreeCell, Spider, TriPeaks and pyramid).

  Most of the games you know and played on earlier versions of Windows, also works with Windows 8, but some older games might not. To see if your favorite game works with Windows 8, go to the Compatibility Center for Windows 8and then press or click the game on PC to see if there's information about your game.

  Check out the link for more information.

• Remove the reference to the earlier Version of Windows

  I already deleted the old file of windows and want the program to automatically, select Windows 7 and continue the statup rather than compels me to do the selection.  Everything works ok but it would speed up the boot process if the reference to the earlier version of windows has been omitted.

  You can go to control panel, system, advanced system (in the left pane), startup and recovery. You can select the default OS and uncheck time to display list of operating systems. Which will automatically default start without any delay.

• After upgrading Windows XP to Windows 7, how can I get the computer to open strictly to Windows 7 instead of choosing "Windows 7 or an earlier version on windows"?

  After the upgrade, I want the computer to open to strictly Windows 7.  I get a page asking if I want to Windows 7 or an earlier version.  There also all programs on the file for XP that I didn't need since the upgrade, I transferred all my documents, files, etc.: on my removable hard drive.  How I can do all this extra to elimintate bits of information and make it turn on the computer faster and more accurate?

  Upgrade to Win7 has nothing to do with the Windows Update feature.

• Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
  Thank you very much!

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?

   

  Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

   

  Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.

  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.

   

  Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.

   

   

  These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

  · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

  Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
   
  As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.
  Thank you very much!

• How to install an earlier version of Windows 7 to install the updates more later?

  I bought the full version of Photoshop 3.0 when it first came out.  I installed it on a Windows XP-based computer and then as later versions, 5.0, 7.0, CS, CS2 and CS5 is out, I bought the updates and install them on the Windows XP computer.  I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 (64-bit).  When I tried to install my Photoshop 3.0, it would move and gave the message that it is not compatible with the 64-bit operating system.  I can't install my CS5 Upgrade without an earlier version is installed on the Windows 7 computer.

  I tried right click on the Setup file then properties/compatibility and changed to "run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 7.  Still will not install.

  Is there anything else I can do, other than to pay the full purchase price again ONCE for a full version that will install on Windows 7?

  Hi papawbailey,

  Greetings!

  You can install CS5 directly on PC Windows 7.

  There is no need to install Photoshop 3.0.

  The only thing that it wil ask a CS5 as well upgrade the previous version key, which is the only key.

  Just to put this key and then install it.

  It should work fine.

• go back to an earlier version of windows

  Hello

  My laptop has begun warning that my version of windows is not genuine, and I know now that it is because of the update to Windows 7 Ultimate Online.

  The laptop came with Windows Vista installed, and I would like to know how and if it is possible to go back to this version without losing any docs / photos.

  He has had a terrible effect on my pc, with almost all the programs no longer works.

  Help, please!

  Thanks, N

  Hi N

  A solution would be to save all your documents and photos, etc. on an external source, hard disk or pen drive and then return to the factory settings. In other words, that the computer was when you bought it all first.  You will lose any additional programs that you have installed.
