• Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

  Setup of Windows 8 consumer priview

  Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

  You can see this message if you downloaded Windows 8 64-bit and XP 32-bit. To start the installation of Windows 8, you will need to restart and boot from the installation of Windows 8 media.

  If you want to keep your current installation of Windows, you can install it on a separate partition and dual boot with the Windows 8 Preview of consumer. To install on a separate partition and dual boot, you must create and boot from the installation media.

  (1) first you will need a free partition on hard drive - if you do not you can shrink a partition and create a new one to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer on.
  To reduce a partition and add a new one that you can use EASEUS Partition Master (free):
  http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
   
   
  (2) to install on a separate disk, you can perform an installation DVD or USB key, then boot from it so you can choose the other partition. To download the ISO file and install media:
  Download Windows 8 consumer Preview ISO:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/ISO
  After you download the ISO file - use the Windows USB/DVD Download tool to install media:
  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
   
   
  (3) installation on a separate partition for dual boot:
  1 make a DVD or USB installation drive - to see the two options above.
  2. start from the DVD or USB install drive and click on install when prompted.
  3. during the installation process, when asked - choose a custom installation.
  4. Select a free partition on the hard disk to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer - this will install Windows 8 on a separate instead of your current Windows partition partition.
  5 continue with the installation.
     
   
   
  First of all please note:
  1 consumer preview Windows 8 is a pre-release and will only work for a limited time - when it expires, you need to remove it.
  2. the overview of consumption is stable and has been tested, but it s not the finished product. Your PC may crash and you may lose important files. You should backup your data and you shouldn't test Windows 8 Preview of consumers on your primary home or business PC.
  3. If you install the preview of consumption on the Windows partition is currently installed, you cannot uninstall the preview of consumption. To return to your previous version of Windows, you will need to reinstall from the recovery or installation media supplied with your PC.
  4. in addition to dual boot, here are a few methods to install Windows 8 Preview of consumers without affecting your current installation of Windows:
  (A) remove your current hard drive and install the Preview of consumers on a spare drive.
  (B) install it on a spare computer.
  (C) install the Preview of consumer in a virtual machine.

• I'm temporarily using a diesel powered computer, running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3

  I temporarily uses a computer filled with diesel fuel, until I can afford to replace it with an updated model. It is using Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
  The problem is that it's totally out of memory and as far as I know, I deleted everything I can, short of service packs and security features, such as malware and anti virus.
  I do a disk Clean up and Defrag on a regular basis, but it shows now that I have zero remaining memory.
  Anyone know how I can free up more memory?
  What happens if I delete ServicePack 1 & 2?
  What happens if I use the restore disc came with the computer? It will remove everything and I start with a clean slate?
  Unfortunately I can't replace this computer for a few months more, what should I do?
  Thank you
  Monica

  You run lack of disk space, not memory, if that's your hard drive, you're referring to :-)

  If you have the service pack installation files on your PC, you can probably pick up near a GB removing them (most likely you do not have).
  You can remove security updates uninstall files and pick up some space here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-9862223-68.html
  If there are programs that you use rarely or never, you can uninstall them.

  If you use the recovery disk, it most probably restore you to the day; No program, no service pack, no update of safety, nada, just WinXP right out of the box. I wouldn't recommend, unless you have nothing better to do with your time than to reinstall all your stuff. And if this isn't in SP3, then you will not be able to download updates of security.

  If you have a little cash on hand, you can always get a bigger hard drive and clone this player to the largest (most new hard drives come with software to do). Or if you have geek friends who save ALL their old stuff (like I do), maybe one of them would have a replacement part that they would be willing to give you. Wouldn't hurt to ask :-)

• Where can I find the full list of the features of Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional

  Could you please direct me to the Microsoft Documents where I can find detailed specifications and characteristics of the two operating systems:

  (1) Windows XP Home Edition

  (2) Windows XP Professional Edition

  Thank you

  Hello Roman

  Thanks for the clarification on the "new computer".

  If, as you say, the card mother and any other material is compatible XP then by all means install Windows XP on this machine. As you said you "my idea is to get the XP and keep as long as possible, even after support ceased in 2014, because I like it better than any other operating system." You have been made aware of possible problems concerning the lack of support and you are ready to accept those. The only problem is to get a copy of Windows XP from a reliable source. Unfortunately, I can't help you with that. Personally, I prefer to get my software direct from the manufacturer or by a reliable retailer. As no other retailer has copies of Windows XP you are, unfortunately, has left the search for credible resource on the web.

  My note to the subject of sticking with Windows 7 or 8 on your new computer has been in regards to your initial comment to a "new computer". I have two computers that are running Windows 7 and Windows 8, but then again maybe I need the additional machines and you do not have.

  I have to admit that Windows XP is a great operating system, and to be honest, I also use it on a virtual machine on one of my PC. However it is more for support reasons than the generalization on my part.

  Windows 7 get some getting used to, but I found it a usable operating system. Windows 8, however, is an altogether different beast. You love or hate it and judging by the comments on the Microsoft forums many people hate everything simply. Yet once I used it since the first beta of the operating system, so I'm used to it.

  I agree with voluntary J on Windows XP Mode. This is useful if you have applications that are not compatible with Windows 7. However, as you said in your reply to J to volunteer, you must upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. You can run Windows XP on a virtual machine, with, say, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (as a free option); However, you should always buy a copy of XP and new Virtual Machines have some restrictions, especially when it comes to certain types of hardware connected to your PC. Maybe your best bet, if you prefer to upgrade would be to use Windows XP from Windows 7 mode.

  I hope that you succeed in your quest for a reliable copy of Windows XP

• How to recover data after the upgrade to Windows XP Home Edition?

  Original title: lost data

  My Windows XP program has been replaced by Windows XP Home Edition. Some data was not justified.

  Is it possible to recover the data?

  My Windows XP program has been replaced by Windows XP Home Edition. Some data was not justified.

  Is it possible to recover the data?

  First of all, please note that Windows XP Home Edition is an edition of Windows XP. So it makes no sense to say that your "Windows XP program has been replaced by Windows XP Home." Exactly what edition of Windows XP you have before it was replaced with XP Home?

  In the second place, who did the replacement, and exactly how it was? Was this an upgrade? A new installation? He did go in Windows or by booting from the CD XP Home?

  Thirdly, it was not justified to exactly what data?

  Fourth, it depends on your answers to the above questions, but in all likelihood, it says No Mo is quite right: If you do not have a backup of your data on an external, you're probably out of luck, and the data are gone.

  You can read this article on the backup that I wrote: 'Return to top your computer regularly and reliable' to http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=314

  I installed all the drivers of Toshiba and Microsoft. What are the missing driver?

  Greetings from the Spain.

  Hello

  -Module PCI Memory Controller Missing Robson, that it is not available for Windows XP Home edition and it will always appear in the Device Manager. It should not bother you at all.
  -Unknown device, I'm afraid that you forgot something. I don't know what, but it can be map or maybe utility password drive controller.

  Hi jackieT387,

  Thanks for posting. To perform the upgrade, you must download the House to a pack of equal service than the Pro version. After having done that, you should have no problem, perform the upgrade.

• Windows vista Home premium recovery question - how to get the source for windows vista home edition premium as the recovery does not work since the recovery partition

  How to get the source to windows vista Home premium recovery is not from the recovery partition and gives me an error message

  Hello

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
