• His Dell Inspiron 1420, microphone and camera integrated into the laptop does not work after installing Windows 7 Professional

  No sound from my Dell Inspiron 1420 and the microphone and built-in laptop camera do not work after installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop has Windows 7 Vista 32 - bit family premium. My laptop is 64-bit capable and after going through the Upgrade Advisor, I installed Windows 7 64-bit. I can hear sounds when I use a headset plugged into the line-in Jack, but not through the speakers built into the laptop. I already tried new drivers from the Dell website, but I could not find.

  Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

  As it is has no drivers 64 bit Windows 7 on Dell Web site, your best chance is to install the 64-bit versions of Vista (if they exist) in compatibility mode, viz:

  Right click on the Vista driver, then select Properties > Compatibility tab. Now choose to run the program in Vista compatibility mode and then apply > OK. Right click on the file and select run as administrator to install it.

• can upgrade you vista Home premium to vista professional in order to install windows 7 Professional upgrade?

  Husband bought the windows 7 Professional upgrade.  Of course when it did not work and the message was to do a "clean install", we both had type light headed as we thought it that will take all day and probably does not work smoothly since is the most "literate" computer.  I did some internet research and according to microsoft, windows vista business upgrade to windows 7 Professional is an upgrade and not a clean install.  Is it useful to try and uprade my 64-bit edition windows Home premium windows vista professional in order to upgrade to windows 7 Professional?  I don't think we can get our money back because the packaging is open or I would say just that we trade it for ultimate.  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.  Also I don't know even where to download vista business or haow only as much as it would cost.  Thanks in advance.

  N ° there is no way to go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional OR Vista business without what you call a 'clean install', so there is no point in spending money to upgrade to Home Premium to business before the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.  Upgrade Vista Home Premium only allowed on-site is ultimate.

  Use Windows Easy Transfer to keep your files and settings.  Then, start the computer with the Windows 7 dvd installation and moving forward.  Do not remove Vista.  Windows 7 upgrade installation should detect a copy installed Windows so that you can use the upgrade product key.  Once you reach the installation type selection screen, you will see the upgrade option is grayed out.  Choose the custom option to continue.

  If you want to do a clean install, you can use the tools on the installation type selection screen (until you click on custom) to reformat, etc., but this is not necessary if you don't mind remove the old Windows folder later.  If you start with a blank hard drive your upgrade license will be a problem then don't attempt is not a clean install of the old way.

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea of dual boot; or use a Virtual Machine...

  Hello

  I try to install Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit on a clean hard disk using the supplied DVD. I would use the formatting option GPT instead of MBR because of its capabilities on the MBR.

  I understand that I need a motherboard that supports UEFI and I made the necessary changes to start in UEFI since my motherboard.

  How can I specify when to start from the DVD, I want to have a GPT partitioned hard drive?

• Re-installing windows 7 Professional without a cd/dvd on computer.

  I had bought and installed (someone else did it for me) windows 7 Professional on my laptop about 2 years ago. In October or so I downloaded windows 10 but now have to uninstall it because my company has problems with compatibility with their system. Now, I have to re - install Windows 7 Professional but by laptop doesn't have a cd/dvd.  Way, using my key number of access, download Windows 7 from microsoft.

  Step 1: Get a USB, 4 GB in size.

  Step 2: Download Windows 7 Professional ISO media:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Step 3: Create a copy on a USB pendrive bootable:

  After graduating the .iso file, you can use the built-in Image disc burning tool or Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a bootable DVD or USB (requires a blank DVD or USB flash to at least 4 GB key).

  

  Then follow the instructions to start from the installation media, then perform a custom installation:

  How to: perform a customized Windows installation

  See the section of the article for Windows 7.

  I would like to recommend you backup your 10 Windows Installer before doing this:

  • How to: create a system Windows 10 image
  • How to restore a system image of Windows 10 to an existing or more storage device

  It will make it easier if you decide to go back to Windows 10.

• What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

  What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I have a 2 TB internal hard drive and want to install Windows and Norton Internet Security on the drive C, drive D and drive E data programs.

  Thanks for a response.

  Original title: size partition Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

  For technical purposes, I recommend you only keep utilities all programs that you install on the startup disk. This is recommended if you plan to upgrade to future releases of Windows such as Windows 8 because you will experience problems with the installation program.

  I recommend however, you can keep accumulated data such as Documents, Photos, music, videos on a separate partition to ensure custody.

  The recommended size for the boot drive around things like Windows, future growth for applications and the Windows updates and program updates will be considered.

  So I recommend not more than 200 GB, for a lot of space, I would shoot up to 300 if you want to keep things like System Restore Points.

  Hello

  The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...

  Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...

  The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...

  Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...

  Hello

  I see that you have a problem in the installation of new Windows USB port. It seems that your HDD was not detected, right? It's because your laptop uses a SATA HDD.

  what you need to do are:

  1. download the driver AHCI SATA website of intel. (just google it)

  2. copy the files (size 700 KB for 6 files) into the new USB

  3. reboot and install your laptop with win 7 (dvd/usb)

  4. by the time win 7 installation reached the drive to install (none detected), click load drivers.

  5. now load your other USB SATA drivers.

  6. then will show all disks in your system.

  7. continue with the installation process.

  hope this helps.
