• Can I still use Windows XP after the end of support?

  I've always found XP easier to use and more effective than the two 7 and Vista and for this reason I have currently no intend to update, even after the end of support. However, to make sure it works please.

  1. Yes, you will be able to reinstall Win7 using the disks provided with your computer, the rescue disks, you have created and/or the hidden restore partition.

  2. where support for Win7 purposes, take in charge ends (for example, activation problems).

  3. There will come a time where the current version of Windows (Live) Essentials is not supported in Win7 - even if your currently installed version of Windows Essentials may continue to be supported for some time.

  4. by the time for purposes of Win7 support, chances are THAT MSE is no longer supported.

  5. No, you don't will be not "forced to buy" a new version of Windows (assuming that Microsoft is still for sale).

• Activation after the end of support?

  It will be possible to reactivate an installation of Windows XP after the end of the support in 2014? I intend to keep an XP system to run old programs and worry about what happens if I need to reinstall it.

  When MS XP launched in 2001, they promised that the activation would be available to certain (undefined) point in the future, date at which they would make available a patch to remove the requirement.

  I believe that to be the case.

• Windows Update after the end of life for xp.

• 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.

  Also check the Compatibility Center

• 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.

• Activation of Windows after the end of support

  The question is what will happen with the activation of windows once microsoft stops supporting windows vista or other windows like windows 7?

  For example, that I will continue to use vista for older games and software, but sometimes there is no need to reinstall if something is wrong (I had problems with the updates and reinstaled vista, after that it works well). And my scanner is not scanning software for windows 7, so I need old Windows.

• Reinstalled Windows XP after the installation of computer hardware, has now lost all my old icons

  I upgraded the card mother, memory and CPU.  Kept the old SATA hard drive.
  Reinstalled Windows XP.  Now, I have no icons, like a new computer.  All my programs are on the C: drive, but none of the programs appear on the start-> list all programs.
  It's like I'm a new user.
  Any ideas?  I wish I had my old office back.  At least all of my data, photos are always "there".

• Cannot reinstall Windows XP after the removal of Windows 8. The installation does not complete.

  I installed win 8 January last on a xp pro machine, which was in surplus. I uninstalled the victory 8 and now impossible to reinstall win xp pro

  The computer is a homemade which ran from win xp pro for several years. I installed win 8 trial knowing that it would take a new installation of XP Pro after the expiration of the 8 victory. I have reset my bios on a cd first and started in the installation cd after installing win xp, it went to boot, and the cd has been removed. a restart was launched and he went into the bios to save install and after the robot below the windows splash logo made 3 passes, he stopped at halfway. After this is is spent in attempts to bppting I noticed that whenever the start stopped he left the Num lock, cap lock, and scroll liux lights were all on on the keyboard. I traded my keyboard with one of my current computer and it always occurres. I started to reload several times now and always the same. No bios settings have helped.

  Hello

  Unplug the machine to see if this allows the machine to reinstall the operating system of any material not needed (such as printers, fax, speakers, USB devices (except keyboard and mouse), Internet connections, etc.).

• When and what can expect to happen to my computer after the end of support for windows XP?

  What is Pageheap?

  The answer to your direct question, when you think that say you, is a Google search away.

  -It is not supported to Microsoft for an operating system you probably have to worry.

  It is your own ability to stay static, I want a computer faster, better equipment, a new printer, scanner, camera, etc.

  The manufacturer of the software or hardware that you use every day will probably abandon Windows XP well before the April 2014 date when Microsoft stops by releasing the same critical patches for Windows XP.

  Their new printers will have only Windows Vista drivers, maybe just Windows 7.

  Their new scanners, cameras, etc. will be the same.

  I don't see the major software companies (AutoDesk, Apple, Adobe, etc.) continues to produce products that would work on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 and what comes next in 2014.

  Everyone always loves to find a single entity to blame for their reluctance to change with technology - but usually it's just the changing world overall - not a single instance of it.

  Having said that - there are many people who still use Windows 98 twelve down on the line.

  They can't see certain things on certain web pages, cannot use certain devices, they might be able to pick up at their local drug/warehouse, even store and using the latest versions of major software packages are probably a lost - cause but they do very well in their microcosm.

  So - it mainly depends on you and your ability to do not change.

• 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.

  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:
