• Removal of the old update files

  I moved from Vista to Windows 7 (downloaded myself).  I am concerned about all the old backup files I have on my computer.  How can I determine what I have and how to remove them.  I did a deletion of hotfix files Backup on my XP, such as recommended by someone in this forum, and it worked.  Should I delete the old files of backup for Vista and Windows 7?

  Thank you.  Pat patricia Bern Bern

  I have recently updated from Vista Home Basic to Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330).  Can the previous updates now be deleted, from 2007 to clear more space?

  This isn't for Vista - after each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files. With Vista, is a differential backup, rather than a full backup and uninstalling files in Windows XP.  This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

• Remove the old updates to free up space

  Original title: updates for Windows Vista

  I regularly receive notifications of a security update for Windows Vista a/o updated for Windows Vista a/o Update Cumulative security for IE9.  In my history of update, the update files earlier I installed the date 08/04/2007.

  Given that these update files are large in size, how can I tell if a file update can be removed safely and not harm, no matter what, because it has become obsolete by a more recent update?  For example, I have several files update for "Security update for 2007 Microsoft Office System" and "Security update for Windows Vista" from 2007 to today.

  Secondly, given that I am now using IE9, is it safe to delete all files updated: Cumulative security update for IE7 on Windows Vista, the security rollup update of IE8 for Windows Vista.

  Thirdly, I do not use Outlook 2007 on my PC.  Is it safe to remove all the files update "Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 207 Junk Email Filter" and "Update for Windows Mail Junk E-mail Filter"?

  Hello, IVC,.

  The files will review the little space on your physical hard disk, however, if you want to remove them you can use the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310312 Disk Cleanup utility to remove the update files that are no longer needed.

• Question is about the old updates

  I was wondering if it is OK to remove your old updates as long as you keep your update?  Ex: microsoft visual C++, Advisor to hp total care.

  Thank you

  Young-One,
  Windows updates it is not recommended that you delete the old updates.  It is possible that there are updates that interact with the older.  As for the HP advisor is an OEM program so you would need to check with HP on the feature of this. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  In general - you should leave well enough alone when it comes to patches.  Microsoft does a job just to install only the parts of a patch which aren't already in place - so, even if you started without service pack, got SP1, SP2 and SP3 as well as 100 + post-SP3 fixes - this is not as if the use of space was exactly cumulative...  The overlap himself would have worked.

• How can I move the old hard drive to new programs.

  I tried to upgrade Windows 2000 Pro, XP Pro on my hard drive. XP would install, but would break to the BSOD with a STOP of the F4 code. BCupdate2 says that the startup code is up to date. NTDLR and boot.ini and NTDETECT.COM are present on the old hard drive. After 2 days of searching and trying different solutions, I bought a new hard drive and installed XP Pro top. System is now running. I want to make my programs from the old hard drive to the new hard disk as well as shortcuts, system settings, user accounts, and user data. I want the new HDD to resemble the old hard disk would look like had XP installed successfully. I have a utility provided with the hard drive, but it says it will take the BONES of the old drive and put it on the new drive that would make my non-operational system. Any help? The history of the old drive is 64 XP was installed originally, but some of my programs wouldn't not below so I installed Windows 2000 Pro. Which was great for several years, but the new versions of the software I use has stopped running less than 2000.

  I'm sorry, but it is not possible to move programs from one operating system to another.  You must reinstall the programs.

  Your data files must be in the Documents and Settings\ folder from the old hard drive and you can copy them to the folder on the Windows XP system.

I'm not computer savvy, but I do what I can do better. Had problems with windows update not install and now not download or install 2 MOS. So where and how can I know what updates I need after that this problem is corrected.  Thank you

  If you want Office 2007 updates to appear in the installed updates again, you would need to uninstall/reinstall Office 2007 and install all the updates again.

  Assuming that Office 2007 is installed & working properly and no update is offered when you run a manual check for updates now, you might want to leave enough alone (that is, do nothing) - then see if the 2 updates for Office 2007 SP3 be released next Tuesday (a) receive, (b) successfully install and (c) are listed in the installed updates later.

  PS: The possible causes of the problem are messing with registry cleaners, messing around with the Software Distribution folder, and the fact that it was a computer refurbished when you bought it.
