• Change operating system from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200

  I want to change my OS from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200... once I downloaded the complete drivers compatible with XP I updated my version of BIOS to be compatible, then when I started the formatting procedure I've countered a problem when I want to choose the format of the hard drive... which is "no hard drive drivers were found.

  If anyone can help please :) Thank you.

  Hello

  The problem is that you must install the SATA driver (among others) in the XP operating system!
  You will use the FDD USB external (floppy) drive or you will create a new Win XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite (google for nLite get details).

  In addition, after the installation of the SATA driver you shouldn't t format the HARD drive because it would wipe out the SATA driver and the HARD drive will not be recognized!

  Best regards

• No Support extended for Windows Vista or Windows 7 Home Edition versions Premium, Home Basic edition and full edition of Windows

  Is it true that Microsoft will end Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Home and Ultimate versions are supported in 5 years? Rannvijay Kapoor

  Is it true that Microsoft will end Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Home and Ultimate versions are supported in 5 years? Rannvijay Kapoor

  support for Windows vista will be completed two years after the release of windows 8, or five years from the date of release of vista, according to what is more LONG.

  Windows 7 support ends two years after the release of windows 9, five years from the date of release of windows 7, according to which is over long.

  These are minimum estimates, they probably will support them much longer.

  Compaq CQ60-216DX

  Hi, I've updated from Vista to Windows 7 Home, and now the CD player is missing and displays an error code "10" DEVICE cannot NOT START, under Device Manager.

  Looked for the drivers updated on the HP Support, there is none for CD player.

  Cannot back driver, grayed out.

  Restore opportunity to go back 2 months and still no progress. Installed software recently withdrawn from the HP (C5280) printer as well.

  Immediately after the upgrade, the CD player worked fine. Same load of music in iTunes.

  I am at a loss. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  It seems that it is a well known problem of incompatibility between the TS-L663B with the Windows 7 upgrade.

• Update of OS from Vista to Windows 7 Home version

  I have a HP desktop computer using the Vista operating system.  HP does not provide the appropriate drivers for this model of PC to accept 10 Windows.  The PC will accept Windows 7.  Where can I get a copy of Windows 7 Home version?  I prefer not to buy a new PC.   This PC works fine for me with the exception of the intermittents 'freeze' which requires a double close and restart to continue my work.  I guess that the problem has much to do with the obsolete OS.

  How can I be sure that I will receive a product Code for MS if I buy Windows 7 from a site like Amazon?  Is this a good idea or is there a possibility of loading inadvertently a virus on the PC.

  The PC is currently using the 32-bit operating system.  Is it possible to use the operating system 64-bit instead?  If so, what are the benefits of the 64-bit operating system?  I do not use the PC for gaming.

• Trouble trying to change from Windows Vista to Windows XP Home Edition.

  I have Windows Vista on my desktop.  I don't like it and I try to install Windows XP Home Edition.  I was able to get support.  When I insert the disk and select "run setup.exe" a "User Account Control" screen will appear (I've tried everything I know to disable this function, but also any virus protection software, but I didn't get it.  After I selected "Allow" on the selection of the user the "Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP" screen arrives, but the "Install Windows XP" option is not highlighted, so I can't select it.  Please notify.

  You can boot from the XP CD and do a clean install.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/978307

  You should also check that you can get the XP drivers for the computer. If this isn't the case, you're stuck with Vista or Windows 7.

• Ultimate from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium or professional clean to install the new SSD

  I put my turn to level. It came with Vista Ultimate. I bought an SSD that will become my c drive. I want to do a clean installation in each Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional 64 bit on this player.  My drive/d has a backup of the Vista operating system. My drive is resumed. Do I have to buy a new copy of version single charge? If so, how will I know the source of what I buy sells an authentic copy or download? If not, what are the steps I need to take to upgrade? There is a number on the back of the workstation that would allow me to do it with the new drive installed? I don't want to have non-essential files on the SSD.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -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

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  If you choose to buy the upgraded version:

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium Enterprise?

  I think my laptop at home has Windows Vista Business edition (I'll have to double check when I get home). I was wondering if I could buy the upgrade from Vista business to Windows 7 Home Premium edition. I don't need all the stuff that comes with Windows 7 Professional, but I don't know if I am limited to just Windows 7 professional since I'm upgrading to Vista professional. Windows 7 Home Edition Premium is a notch down from Windows 7 Professional, so I was wondering if it is possible to do. Or I'm stuck after you buy the full version of Windows 7 Home Premium for the SB $ 199.99 upgrade $ 119.99.

  Then I can buy just the Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium, Version upgrade and just do a custom installation? The instructions are fairly easy to follow? The only upgrade I've ever done is when I got my laptop from XP to Vista, (it came with XP installed and they gave me a CD to upgrade to Vista if I wanted to).

  Yes, its simple, simply start your desktop of Windows Vista professional, insert the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade DVD, click install now. When the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.
