• The Windows XP Home upgrade

  I have a computer on which Windows Me had initially on this, but I later updated to Windows XP Home Edition. Now the computer's hard drive is wiped and I am trying to reinstall the Windows XP Home Edition, but I don't have an original Windows Me disk. I called Dell and they said that they cannot help me because they have more than the available software and that they included with they system. I have all the disks that came with my system, and this isn't one of them. I would like to reinstall Windows XP but it won't let me spend the elibibilty upgrade check without year ME disc. I have the sticker of the product key on the side of my computer, but not the disk. Does anyone know how to make this work? Thank you.

  The only way to make this work is to provide a CD of an older operating system the installation of XP asks you to put the qualifying media. It doesn't have to be your missing drive; It can be a friend ME disc or even one for Win98. If anyone you know has a Win98 / ME disc you can borrow, you can take the device to a local computer professional for the installation (not for free of course) or buy a full version (not upgrade) of XP. NewEgg and Amazon still have XP for sale. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  This means the boxed retail copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

• Windows 7 Home upgrade Vista Home Premium installation

  After you run the compatibility test, I bought a new Windows 7 Home Premium, disabled all viruses or other programs of security and attempted to start the installation.  The initial 'investigation' indicates the presence of "PerfectDisk" which he said I had to uninstall before upgrade installation can begin.  However, I don't have this program on my computer, or anything related to defrag some defrag program that accompanies the computer HP G60 - I can't identify or remove if I wanted to.  I don't know yet how to disable (only can adjust daily/weekly/monthly sync settings, etc.) and do not know what is the name of the program.  All other programs seem to agree for installation to occur.  Is there a way around this problem, as the software will not attempt to load/upgrade as long as this "Perfect Disk" program is visible during the early investigation.

  Ideas or suggestions?

  Look under C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x 86) If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista for all records related to the Raxco PerfectDisk, then delete.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/976552

  Andre Da Costa.

  Thanks for your very useful suggestions and stick with me on this issue.  I think it has now been resolved.  I saw another post about problems after installing Windows 7 as an upgrade to Vista and read setting up installation PerfectDisk maybe stay in Program files, after that the program is uninstalled.  So, I went to Program files and seen everyone without finding any PerfectDisk anywhere.  However, several years ago, I used PCMover and when I clicked on this program, three files Raxco were still present.  I have now deleted them and will continue the installation of Windows 7 now - that is why, one of these files must have included remnants of PerfectDisk or an earlier version of a defragmentation program.

  So, let's see how the upgrade installation is progressing, but at least it is moved in front of the roadblock. »

  Thanks for your help - invaluable for someone without experience.

• Cannot access Windows software for Information management. Windows XP Professional Windows 8 Pro upgrade will not work.

  It started a month or two ago when the print spooler has stopped working. 'Systems', or had no dependencies. It turns out that none of the services had dependencies, but everything still worked (except the print spooler). Then, I could not access "system information". I tried to restore to an earlier date, that wouldn't work. Tried to do a picture of Macruim Reflect - no luck there either.  My laptop works fine, although slow. Got the printer to work.

Sorry, we're having some difficulty to determine if your PC can run Windows 8. If please close Setup and try again. "He wouldn't have spent so far. The problem may lie in the fact that the upgrade can not see the information system and/or can not say that I am on Windows XP. Is there something I can do for the upgrade to continue?

  How to reinstall your Express upgrade

  Until you do, what I recommend is, after you did the Express of Home Premium Professional upgrade and activate. You should back up your installation as a system. So when you decide you want to start over, everything you do is restore the system image. This will exempt things as the relocation of the base license, reactivation, redo the Express upgrade, then turn it back on again.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

  The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
   
  An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
   
  What happens if I lose my product key?
   
  If you lose your product key, you can return to

  www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

  The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.
   
  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
   
  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
   
   
   
  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
   
  -HP use F9 on most of its systems
   
  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
   
  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12
   
   
   
  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
   
   
   
  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

• Satellite U500-1F4 - upgrade in Windows 7 Home Premium to professional?

  I'll buy the Toshiba Satellite U500-1F4 with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit that can be retrieved using Toshiba-HDD recovery.

  I can upgrade these BONES using WAU Home Premium to Professional 7 Windows, or should I buy Windows 7 professional full and install it?

  Hey mate,

  You can use the Windows Anytime Upgrade program, that s no problem and it makes no difference if you use this tool or a full version of Windows 7 Professional. The result is always the same => an upgrade to Home Premium to professional.

  Theoretically, you can make a completely new installation if you buy a copy of Windows 7 Professional, but I n t see a reason for this. An upgrade also works.

  But the question is: do you need the features they are provided with the professional version?

• Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  Hi!, I need help.  I tried to understand the upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 but I have not been able to fully understand the various issues.  My dilemma is this. I have a House runing PC with Windows Vista Home Premium and I want to install a version of Windows 7 Professional.  The package I have indicates whether an upgrade, but when playing in the homepage of Microsofts, in my view, that I understand that to switch from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, I need to do a full install, not an upgrade.  Because my package bed upgrade, I don't know if it contains the program needed to make an installation full or not.  I don't want to start and install and find out in the middle that I don't have the good disk to complete the task.  Could someone who knows about it could give me the right path to follow. I will be very greatfull for any guidance. Thank you.
