Questions about buying a new computer.
My computer tells me that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows XP in April 2014. They suggest that the search for a new computer that my computer will not support Windows 8. All computers that I have watched have Windows 8 is already installed. Now, I read this morning that Microsoft is removing Windows 8 in 2015 and introducing Windows 9. This means that, if I get a new computer with Windows 8 com, I have to pay to update Windows 9 in 2015? If so it looks like a bit of a jerk!
Hello ColinRailton,
Support for Windows XP continues in effect in April. However, it's security patches and updates, that this does not mean that XP will stop working completely.
If you buy a Windows 8 PC now you will still be able to use Windows 8 for some years to come, just as you have used Windows XP. 9 Windows will be a more recent Windows edition as Windows 8 has been a more recent edition compared to Windows 7. Unfortunately, for upgrade to Windows 9, you will need to purchase a copy of the software - but, it is up to you, you do not have to follow the crowd and the update you can still continue to use Windows 8 until that had too much support stopped.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

Hello, I would like to take advantage of the promotions on Adobe Photoshop for a single user (valid until tomorrow), but I have two questions. First of all, I intend to buy a new computer for a month and for the moment, I don't know if it will be a pc or a mac. Do I have to decide at the time of the purchase, what system I'll use? Secondly, I also have a plan for about a month to open an individual company. If I buy the program as a person, could I then use it as a business?
Creative cloud is cross-platform. Licensing is not serious. By definition, an "enterprise" might as well be a single person. It is totally irrelevant, as long as you purchase a full license appropriate regardless of any promotion.

Buy a new computer, what should I ask the seller on the computer?
Hi, I think of buying a new computer (pc, no cell phones), what should I ask on the computer to ensure that it is a beautiful and good performance. Should I buy a custom build or a pre-build. If you know a good computer for watching YouTube videos and that some computer game. I won't play a lot of high graphics like Gta 5 card games but I want a computer that can run games like League of legends and minecraft ok. Yet once I need a computer to not base a high performance, but I want a fast enough computer. Thank you in advance if you answer this question.
I don't want to test exactly the games you want to play. Most people keep a poor installation which may require a 10 Windows Installer Clean or Clean reinstall Windows 7 , but you can test if it's profiteers of start-up or a bloated AV who is the limitation by turning them off as suggested in Clean Up Factory Bloatware . If she drags open the Task Manager and look at charts to see if it's CPU or RAM which is behind. If it's then possible RAM, you can increase it-google the brand and model to see which is expandable to compare with the specifications in information system (type msinfo in start search).
What do at the shop for a PC here in the States, take advantage of our retailer giant generous 2 week return policy Best Buy offers full refund. Then I put them to the test, save a backup image or recovery media to do a clean install to see how good performance can get - since no matter which PC factory can still produce about 20-30% better performance with a clean install as in the links I gave earlier. This is how, after trying about a dozen phones over 2 years, I moved on my Lenovo G500 with Core i5 and 4 GB of RAM, I doubled. What are the minimum specs I want for heavy multi-tasking (I do) or play of light. For the big games I would like Core i7.
I realize that most of the sellers cannot be this cooperative, but then I wouldn't buy a PC unless I could determine these things, or have a good idea of which direction they head you.

When to buy a new computer?
I had several problems with my Toshiba Satellite L455 computer. The problem is with the Windows 7 operating system. I was not able to get the Windows updates for several months. None of the advice given to me on this forum helped solve this problem. Lately the computer crashes whenever I'm trying to put it in sleep or Hibernate mode. Yet once again, the advice of the forum I had does not solve the problem. Finally, I can no longer communicate remotely with my printer via wi - fi - and even once, will not work suggested solution.
So the question is this. Can I install a new OS (8.1), or buy a new computer with 8.1 pre-installed? Is there another replacement? I'm tired of spending hours trying to apply the patches that never work.
I probably would destroy all my data so I tried a 'destructive factory restore '.
Why do you think that I he calls "destructive Factory Restore?
Many people believe that their computers will live forever. Some of them receive a very rude awakening when something goes wrong and they are unable to access their files, for example due to a disk crash. This is the time when they are to consider the benefits of a regular backup process (for example, weekly). In most cases, it is too late.
Here's what you need to do:
- Get a disk 2.5 "USB case. It costs less $ $60.
- Back up all your data from your old machine of Toshiba.
- Check on your new Toshiba if you can read the data.
- Do the restore to factory on the old machine.
- Use of the disk on the new Toshiba for your regular backups.

I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer. All new computers come with Windows 7. Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)? I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back. AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it. I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years. I would like to use XP on a new computer! I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer. Thank you very much!
Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.
If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.
Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.

Yes, don't worry if you migrate to the same operating system (Mac or Win).
Catalogue conversion works well.
If you plan to migrate to another computer, you need to transfer your image files as your catalogs, which means that you can use the backup and restore method:
Organizing moving items catalogue | Elements 6 or later version
When you use this method, the restore process recognizes if the database version is the same. If it is newer, it invites you to convert the catalog after the restoration.
To transfer the software elements itself, you will need to:
-Use the Help menu > disconnect deactivate your license from the old computer
-Reinstall the software
-use the same menu to sign with your product license key.

I upgraded my Adobe Acrobat in 2009 to the Acrobat 9 Pro. I had to buy a new computer so when I installed Acrobat 9 Pro with my serial number, he now seeks a number of earlier version. It has been 6 years, so I don't even have the previous Acrobat program or it's serial number. How can I get my Acrobat 9 Pro activated with my current serial number so that I can begain to use the program.
You can try to contact Adobe and see if they can help. See if you can find a proof of purchase of the old version.

After careful consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to find out that it is not available to me that my laptop has Windows Vista. What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an older version like Ps5 or 6?
1 can't read on a Windows "upgrade version" which, in my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... updated on what you have, without disturbing programs installed... at least that's what happened the ONLY time wherever I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% guarantee that it will work with your computer in this way... search link for all the things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
2 - depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run programs CC well, or not at all
3 CS6 is 3 years and is the ONLY non - CC version always sold... unless you can find a "legal" somewhere CS5
