Reinstall WIN XP SP3 to new computer with no operating system

I would like to move my WIN XP SP3 old laptop with no operating system

Thank you

Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site
and search for the Windows XP drivers for your specific computer or motherboard model number.

If there are Windows XP drivers, then download to a folder on your hard drive and burn it to a CD/DVD.
Then, after installing XP on your new computer install all device drivers, starting with the mother/chipset, LAN, Audio, USB, SATA card, drivers, and so on.

Notes:

If there is no XP driver not listed that your computer is not compatible Windows XP.

You must uninstall the old computer XP, if you plan to use the same XP product key.

List of computer manufacturer support sites:

If you have an Intel motherboard, you can try the Intel driver update utility: http://www.intel.com/support/detect.htm?iid=dc_iduu

Graphics/video drivers:
Check the download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the newer Windows XP drivers for your card.

  • When I try to connect my computer with XP operating system, I get this error message to: rund1132.exe and cannot log out.

    When I try to connect my computer with XP operating system, I get this error message to: rund1132.exe and cannot log out.  How can I fix?

    Hi KERRYYX,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. What is the full error message that you receive?
    5. Are you able to restart and shut down the computer?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • I am buying a new computer without an operating system installed and you want to know if my Windows 7 Upgrade disk can be used to install Windows 7?

    I'll buy a kit of barebones without preinstalled operating system and was wondering if I could use my Windows 7 upgrade disk to install Windows on the new PC.

    Short answer 'NO '.

    Upgrade means upgrade. An upgrade can only be used to upgrade a previous version of XP or Vista. You will need to purchase a full retail or OEM version to install on a computer without an operating system.

  • New computer with Win 7 and I'm drowned in ads, pop ups and constant redirects. Help, please!

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7, and I had nothing else that problems with redirections constants, pop up windows, ads pasted on top of advertising.  It's really driving me crazy.  Any time I click on what (in Facebook, or my website, or Twitter or whatever it is!) I am redirected to a new tab with an advertisement trying to make me spend it, or download that.

    When I'm on Facebook, I brilliantly flashing ads covering my groups and pages.  When I opened my site, I have flashing ads to the bottom of the left and the right of my blog and all my pages.

    I tried everything I know to stop this, and nothing works.  I ran Malwarebytes, and they found pieces of adware 2029!  I quarantined and deleted and ran two additional scans that came clean, but ads and redirects are always there, drive me to madness.

    Then someone please help me, I can't use this computer as it is, it takes twice as much time to my work, and that rebounds, flashing ads are too distracting for me to even write in my blog.

    Help, please

    I guess you're running Vista.

    As for your 2nd question about the updates of Windows - Win 7 If you run Norton, you might have a problem. It can accept updates for Vista, but when you upgrade to Windows 7 it does not updates allow.

  • Can I restore the backup Windows XP on a new computer with Windows 7 COA and upgrade to Windows 7?

    Original title: upgrade question.

    I currently have a PC running XP in a system with an IDE drive. The system has many applications that the company has moved the installation discs, so I need to move the contents of the entire disk to a new system. I was about to do the following:
     
    System backup with a recovery boot disk, in this case a USB.
     
    Restore the entire operating system to a new system that will have a SATA drive in it. The new system will have a COST for Windows 7.
     
    Start the XP and upgrade to Windows 7.
     
    My question is, will it work or the absence of the COA of XP on the new system will prevent me to install?
     
    Any help would be appreciated.
     
    Thank you
     
    The f

    Short answer, "no, this will not work."

    It is unclear what you mean by 'backup' and 'restore', but it seems that if you are referring to the creation of a disk image or a clone of disk on an external drive and then either restore the image or cloning to the new computer.  Assuming that both of these computers was provided with Windows pre-installed, this process will almost certainly result in a facility that cannot be 'activated '.  In addition, unless the software you use has something like Acronis Universal Restore, restore the image from your old computer to a player in a new computer with a different hardware simply will not work.

    In addition, the lack of an XP license is not the issue.  There are several problems with the process you describe, but basically, an "upgrade" from XP to Win 7 requires a "custom installation" which means that applications should be re-installed.

  • reinstalled Windows Vista on a HP computer with a Dell reinstallation DVD.

    I have already downloaded all the HP software & drivers that I need to make it work like a HP., everything seems normal & tact except in the reception centre where it tells you all the details of your computer, it said its production is Dell & must say HP. The product key on the side of my computer is of course for a HP. Until it is recognized as a HP & not a Dell, I can't activate my windows with this product key.

    * original title - I reinstalled Windows Vista on a HP computer with a Dell reinstallation DVD. Now, I can't activate Windows because my product key will not work. *

    You'll have to contact HP and see if you can get a set of restore from HP for your system disks, you will not be able to activate the copy of Dell's Windows with a key to HP.

    Buy a new computer with Windows 7 installed some time.  Came to use but without the provided disks.

    Buy a key, or do I have to get a new copy of Windows?

    whenever you buy must provide certificate of authenticity from the windows CD or another method to reinstall the OS,

    a Custom built PC will be very probably built using integrative system OEM or FPP retail media
    and the only option for this type of generator system to provide resettlement must provide the MS hologram CD/DVD,
