Re-install windows 8 from windows 7

Similar Questions

• I installed windows 7 from XP and reinstall Firefox. However, I have lost the list of favorites. Is there a way I can recover the previous the "Favorites".

  Installed Windows 7 Professional custom in the required form XP. All the favorites were lost in Firefox and had to reinstall Firefox.
  Explorers has maintained the Favorite list, I had to explore - quite different from Firefox.
  Check the programs created separately by 7 to include the XP file. Favorites, registration is not relevant to the list lost on Firefox reinstall.
  Question: Is it possible that I can get back the original Favorites listing lost when the 7 install, or is it 'gone with the wind "?

  I have not read what is happening in an installation of XP to 7. You can find this file on your system:

  C:\Windows.old
  

  If so, you can find one of these:

  • C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\your user name
  • C:\Windows.old\Users\your username

  If so, your old given Firefox might be in there. To explore more, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

  Then search either:

  • \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profilesyour usernameC:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\
  • Your username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

  Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably the one you want to restore from.

  Bookmarks only

  Go down the old bookmarkbackups folder and copy the last two backups in a location such as the desktop.

  The restore feature will replace the bookmarks in Firefox by default (and what you added since the reset) with all like bookmarks. If you want preserve newly added bookmarks, use the first, export function before the restore, then the import function later. The following articles have details:

  • (Optional) Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks
  • Restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer - to access backups on the desktop, use the command 'Choose file' menu
  • (Optional) Import bookmarks to an HTML file

  Success?

  Complete restoration

  This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect your old wide profile in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

• Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?

  Greetings!

  The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.

  I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?

  What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?

  I do not understand your question about "interface."

  The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.

  See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab

  Your computer was preinstalled with:

  Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)

  and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.

  My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.

  Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows.  That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».

  Hello:

  See if, by your own plain W8.1 installation media, you can reinstall Windows 8.1.

• HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC: can't disable the touchpad / click from installing windows 10

  I am able to disable the keypad to click in the settings, but as soon as the computer goes to sleep or restarts the cushion click is activated. I prefer to use a mouse via USB. How to make the adjustment remains permanently until I want to activate the key again.  The computer indicates that the driver is up-to-date. I tried to go back to the old driver, which didn't help. As soon as windows can be delivered the internal keyboard is on again once. This has happened only since installing windows 10. I hope that I did not need to return to windows 8 to solve this problem.

  Hello

  I would like to inform that Microsoft have released patches to update to solve problems related to the touchpad. I suggest to go ahead and run Windows updates and check if it helps to solve the problem. Also run the HP support assistant software to check the updates from HP do you driver.
  If the steps above don't help you.

  Try the following
  Open regedit.exe
  Navigate to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install
  Note it's the LOCAL MACHINE, not the CURRENT USER.
  Search for a key in the installation folder called DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade
  Double click and change the value to 0

  Now go back in the Panel of Synaptics, put all how you like and restart.  See if it keeps the settings.

  If it is not difficulty, navigate to the Device Manager and go to 'Mouse and other pointing devices' right click on the synaptics driver and go to properties and under the driver tab control if you can 'dismantling' of the driver.

• Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Original title: improvement of the operating system.

  Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price.  You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.

  Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.  See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php

• How to install Windows XP SP1 from the disc and not an error message indicating "unable to install from the web?"

  My laptop with Windows XP home (2002, upgraded to SP3), crashed after almost 10 years of perfect service. Then I reinstalled my OS (not OEM, bought and paid for a full installation of Windows XP Home, 2002), and after 3 hands hours hardware controllers and drivers, installation was finally able to connect to internet to make updates on Windows XP and hardware. Arriving at Windows Update of the site, I realized that I couldn't do web updates up-to-date, because my old version of Windows. It will not be updated to SP3, because I need SP1 or higher. So, I tried to download and install SP1a. Error says that I can not reach the server. So, I download SP1a on my other computer, burn a CD and try to install SP1a directly from CD. Now, I get an error message stating "error installing SP1a, unable to reach the server. Try again when you have access to the web... Hello! I'm not trying to install from the web... why this message? I even made my computer has been getting a good connection ethernet, just in case my computer needed to communicate with? While my computer has been updated by CD.

  It's probably something simple, but I'm frustrated. Help when the first thing I see on the Microsoft Update site is a special page, telling me that I am not able to update Windows. Help, please!

  You must use this upgrade path:
  Gold XP to XP SP2 to XP SP3.
  Note that installing SP1a is TOTALLY USELESS! (Not only that, the file available these days is EVIL, because you knew.)
  Here are the detailed instructions:

  1. download the installation files from SP2, SP3, IE8 and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is an effective antivirus/antimalware program. I prefer to keep these on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials (for MMS)

  2. disconnect Internet.

  3. temporarily disable the automatic updates.

  4. install SP2. Restart twice.

  5 install the SP3. Restart twice.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart twice.

  7 install an Antivirus software.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should be).

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet.)

  9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates.

  10 re - enable automatic updates.
