• Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

  Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

  If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

  1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
  2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

  Anyone know the answers to these questions?

  Thank you

  You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

  My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

  Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

• A few questions about installing Windows on a Mac

  Hello world.

  I'm considering installing Windows on my 2006 iMac. I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with that. I know that this machine will run Windows 7 or 8, in terms of system resources, but probably doesn't have the RAM for 10.

  The girl has reached Apple Obsolescence and no longer can be upgraded to newer versions of Mac OS. Unfortunately, this also means that she can not get the latest version of iTunes and don't talk to my phone. But she still my entire library of music.

  I know that used at least iTunes is available on Windows, but I seem to remember that they took it. Y at - it an option to put my iTunes music on an iPhone 6 in a Windows environment? I don't mind if I need to convert files or otherwise work for her. I have just a few old out-of-print stuff that I really miss being able to listen to anywhere other than my office.

  I'm pretty much stuck with versions before 10, due to the RAM thing. Honestly, I haven't used Windows since around 1998, with the exception of a terminal XP at work, so I don't know much about it. Any recommendation on which version is the best? And I can buy a copy online directly from Microsoft?

  If I would be better off buying a new laptop for very cheap, it is also a possibility. But my Mac still works well, despite not being not supported for updates, and I hate wasting perfectly good material. I just don't have the money for another Mac right now.

  Hello

  Any questions on iTunes, the best place to ask the community Apple iTunes is their program, not Microsoft.

• Question about make Windows 7 genuine?

  Hi I have a 4530 HP's Probook which has Windows 7 Professional on this topic. I deleted the recovery partition and couldn't make it back so I went to digital river which is 100% free and legal Web site where you can download windows 7 as an ISO file. I did and I got Windows 7 Home Premium. So I downloaded the Home Premium ISO file and then I downloaded Daemon Tools Lite 4. And run the ISO on this software. It worked and now I have a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop now. But when I went to enter my product key a pop - up and says error product key you have entered will not work with this edition of Windows 7. You must run the installer of Windows 7 or enter a product key Windows 7 Home Premium.  So I went again downloaded Digital River Windows 7 Professional and he ran with daemon tools and it said that exactly this installation disc is not compatible with your version of Windows. To upgrade, you need the correct installation disc. For more information, see your computer's system information. To install a new copy of windows, restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc, and then select custom (advanced option). What is the correct installation disc and how to get out of this mess. I prefer not to spend money just to let you know but if I have to. Thank you.

  Its sounds like you finally download the correct edition of Windows 7 for your machine (Windows 7 Professional), but its likely that you have downloaded the 64 bit version, which is not a problem. What you need to do is a custom starting from Windows 7 64-bit installation, cannot start the installer for a 64-bit version of Windows 7 32-bit version of Windows 7.

  In other words, will not be able to facilitate the installation of Daemon Tools. You'll either need to burn the. ISO file onto a blank DVD or create a bootable on USB with 4 GB of free space.

  Burn it to a blank DVD:

  ImgBurn - supporting the creation of CD more. ISO files,

  It supports a wide range of image file formats, and it's free.

  (BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, MDS, NRG, PDI and ISO)

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  http://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/display/G/Burning+ISO+images+with+ImgBurn

  Note: Use always slower burning (4 x or 2 x) speed is offered a choice.

  Create a bootable copy on a USB key:

  Once we have the .iso file, they may want to use the Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a DVD or bootable USB (requires a blank DVD or USB flash to at least 4 GB key).

  

  After preparing the installation media:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-from-a-Windows-7-installation-disc-or-USB-flash-drive
  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• A few questions about recovery on P100-400

  Good evening everyone,

  I have a few questions on the recovery of my laptop...

  So I thought that if the only way to clean my entire drive is to use the recovery DVDs?
  I ask this question because I think the computer becomes too 'heavy' applications, with which he came. So I was wondering if I can format the hard drive rather than get it back.

  If I format the drive I lose warranty? Is there any future problem with genuine software?
  It is possible to install Windows XP Pro (and not the real windows xp media center) with the original operating system product key?

  Thank you.
  Best regards.

  Hello

  I'll try to give you some answers and I hope this will help you.

  I don't understand what you mean I can format the hard use rather than retrieve it but you can follow: install OS using delivered support recovery and after having done this remove all applications, you do not need. After that it maybe your laptop won't be heavy more.

  N ° something like this is not possible. Product key belongs to the livery and pre-installed with the OS.

• Question about recovery CD

  Hello world

  I have a Toshiba satellite M30 and it comes with 2 recovery CD (CD 1/2 & 2/2). Unfortunately, one of the CD is damage and no longer works. My question is, first of all, how can I get the new recovery CD. I hope you tell me exactly who to contact here on Toshiba site or please copy - paste the link to people who can help me.

  Secondly, is it possible to have the recovery CD copied to a flash drive to avoid damaging the CDs are likely to suffer? Finally, it is necessary to use the same CD provided with there laptop or I can use the CD to other types of laptop Toshiba to my friends?

  Joe, UNITED KINGDO, COLCHESTER.

  Hello

  1. new media for recovery, you can order by the authorized service partner. The addresses you can find on Toshiba European page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com under Support & downloads > find an authorized service provider.

  2. the recovery image is large enough and I don't think that you can save it to the flash drive. By the way: you can not start flash drive and because of that it's a bad idea. After the configuration of the entire computer, best solution is to create the own image using Norton ghost software. The image is created, you can record on CD, DVD, or even on the second partition (I do). On this way you can always have it by you.

  3. you may not use another recovery CD. Each image is designed for the specific cell phone model. You can simply use the facilities Microsoft CD and install all the drivers and all the stuff only Toshiba subsequently.

  Good bye

• Question about Recovery Media Creator

  Hello everyone, first of all, I don't know if this should be in this category, but I thought it would be best to post in.

  My question is about the progress of the Recovery Media Creator. I was about to create the recovery DVD and I noticed that there are several support options for recovery (Recovery Media recovery media 3 1).

  My question is, what are the differences between them? No matter if I only check one of them, so I need less DVD or smaller USB?

  Thanks in advance.

  PS Excuse my grammar or bad explanation if there is no error.

  Hello

  As much as I know there is no difference between the to 3 1 recovery media recovery media.
  This info shows you ONLY the quantity of disks required.
  If you create a recovery using a DVD media, you might have more than one DVD disc.
  In case you create USB recovery media, you won't have many different memory USB flash keys.

• Re: Questions about reinstalling Windows XP

  Hello...
  I have a portable satellite, and I must confess that I do not understand why everything should be formatted when reinstalling the system.
  I have several questions if someone could help please.

  Is it possible to reinstall Windows without losing programs installed?
  If I use the restore CD, all partitions will be deleted or only C:?

  Thank you very much!!

  > Is it possible to reinstall Windows without losing programs installed?
  No, because programs written entries in the Windows registry and sometimes in the Windows folder.
  If you need to reinstall all programs after reinstallation of Windows.

  > If I use the restore CD, all partitions will be deleted or only C:?
  If you use the recovery disk will be formatted the whole HARD drive then back up your data first.
  After reinstalling Windows, you save your data on the HARD disk again.

• Question about reinstalling Windows after virus/malware crashed the system

  OK, I'm not exactly super tech savvy but I can manage.  Here's my dilemma.  I clicked a bad link in a Yahoo search and started getting all sorts of flashing messages that my laptop has been infected.  The next thing I know... Windows (I have Vista) crashed and does not now.

  Question #1 - so... can I spend $85 and make it my buddy to the computer to reinstall Vista... or can I invest in upgrading to Windows 7?

  Question #2-si I do it myself, can I just go ahead an installation of Windows 7 since I have no operating system on it because Vista won't load?

  I'd appreciate any help I can get with that.  I really think that whatever it is, I would be smart to buy Windows so I have to drive since it is not come with the laptop or my all-in-one.

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  If necessary, you can record all necessary data (files) by putting the hard drive as 2nd in another computer
  or in an external box and copy of the data on the removable memory (CD, DVD, USB key or)
  others).

  The physical disks in Vista can be purchased cheaply system machine since you already own windows.
  Ask them about Windows 7 as they could also make a case here. Normally, it would be more advantageous for you
  to buy the disks of Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 (unless the system manufacturer has a special offer).
  Before upgrade you to Windows 7 make sure that the system and the software will run you on it.

  To run the Upgrade Advisor you will need Vista work. Check with your system manufacturer support
  and/or support of any specific manufacturer of the device to make sure the drivers are available for your system.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisorhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

  Also check the Compatibility Center

  I hope this helps.

• Question about reinstalling windows on a laptop that came with it, but the hard drive failed and had to be replaced.

  OK, until recently, the hard drive of my laptop couldn't, and I had to replace, no biggie, I really care about this laptop in any case. Then I threw ubuntu top and let it go from there. But recently, I wonder, if I could get windows again for her, for free. I am sure that it is not under warranty, but I could go and check of 90 percent. I have no back ups for it because it was cheap.

  No backups.

  Yes, if the hard drive has been installed you can just catch a Windows ISO-8 8.1 is not available now and make an own Install.Then, if you have the sticker of the product key on the back of your laptop use the product key to activate. Devices with Windows 8 generally have incorporated in their BIOS product key and use the following tool to get the product key:

  Download the key tool produces OEM of Windows

  Then, you can use the key to activate. In the meantime, here is the link to download windows ISO 8.1 and generate the installation media

  Hello

  You have 2 options:

  1. standard mode: recover the entire hard drive: all data will be lost.
  2 expert mode: retrieve only the partition with windows on it: only data from this partition will be lost.

  If you perform a new installation, please use the expert mode and you'll be able to create two partitions. On the first, you need to install OS and the second that allows you to save all your data.

  Also check the other postings in the forum. You can use the advanced search.

• Question about recovery for Satellite Pro A120-185

  I had a with the laptop recovery CD. I wonder if he has the operating system also (windows Vista) and I have the right to request a copy of the operating system?
  Is - this CD has everything that was originally on the laptop (all software)?
  And how to restore to factory State with the combination of keys on keyboard to image on the hard drive? This also restores programs and everything too?

  Hello

  You bought the laptop with pre-installed Vista OS?
  If so, the recovery CD should contains the operating system Vista, all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities and additional software.

  > Is - this CD has everything that was originally on the laptop (all software)?
  Yes, as I said above the Toshiba on the restore CD image contains everything; Operating system, drivers and programs.

  If you use the recovery for the reinstallation CD, you will set the laptop to factory settings.
  But beware, this procedure will format you whole HARD disk and will delete the existing partitions.

  If you want to install from the recovery CD, try to boot from this CD and follow the guide line. It is very easy.
