restore the software preinstalled when migrating to windows 8

Hello

I had updated my laptop HP dv6324us which edition of Windows Vista Edition Family Premium in Windows 8. The upgrade was successful. However, earlier there were many software preinstalled such as Roxio Creator etc., but they do not appear in the new facility. No idea how to restore software pre-installed? The windows.old folder had files (ex: under a "Roxio" folder, the files are program earlier).

Kind regards
Scott

Hi, Nadia:

If you still have the SWSetup folder in the windows.old folder, which should contain all the files supplied with your PC Setup program.

When I upgraded my HP 6930p to W8, I have renistalled CD in Roxio creator in the Setup file in the SWSetup folder.

If you do not have the installation files, you will not be able to reinstall all the programs on your PC.

Also, make sure take advantage you of the free Windows Media Center offers limited.

    Hello Jimmie Jr.,

    The problem is that the software or programs that have been created for the previous operating systems such as Windows 95/98/XP have no way to correctly work with an operating system like Windows 7 that did not exist when the programs were written. Windows Vista and Windows 7 have been written on a different kernel of Windows 95 and Windows XP. However, you can try compatibility mode and if this does not work you can try using a virtual machine to run the software. Much of the time the software publisher will publish updates to make old software work with newer operating systems.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP or other system that the program has been run successfully operating.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and self-test program compatibility issues:

    1. open the program compatibility problems theStart button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, typetroubleshooter, then clickTroubleshooting. Under programs, clickRun done for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

    If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hope this helps you understand better.

    Sincerely,

    How you installed Vista as an upgrade on XP or to perform a new installation? Did you use the installation of a media installation upgrading or complete dvd or did you by TechNet or MSDN subscription paying there?

    With or without a dvd, you must enter the product key that was included with the media or have bought and downloaded via the store Ms. The product key is usually on the plastic case, the dvd of Vista arrives or accompanies electronic download and is that you enter during the installation/update level or when you use the control panel > system > change the product key to see active Windows.

    You'll need a product key valid for the edition in question that you are now going to run.
