• How to install Windows XP Home SP2 to a Dell 755 Tower comes with Vista Business installed?

  OK guys,

  I aquried a used Dell 755 minitower that had wiped HARD drive, but originally shipped with Vista Business installed o/s. This computer still had the sticker code product key for Vista Business on the computer.

  I have a Windows XP Home SP2 OEM disc with a product code and tried to install it on this computer, but I get an protection windows with a blue screen error whenever I tried.

  I have a Vista Home OEM disk basic with its own key code product. The computer has allowed me to install this operating system, but not would allow me to use its product key code, but would allow me to use the old Vista Business key product code that was on the computer and complete the installation. Everything was fine, but I just don't like Vista o/s and I would like to install my OEM Windows XP Home SP2 to this computer and high grade it to SP3.

  In dealing with this computer, I discovered it would allow me to load Windows XP Pro just find, but I was using a copy borrowed this o/s and had to uninstall if I could return it to its owner. I also borrowed a copy of Windows 7 OEM I installed in this machine and it works just fine, but I had to uninstall it to return to its owner.

  I still want to know why I can't install Windows XP Home Edition for this machine.  Does anyone have information about this situation or a way to solve it?

  Looks like the drive you borrowed your friend had a SATA driver integrated into it.  What you can do, is go into the BIOS and change the AHCI to IDE mode.  This should allow you to install XP.  Or you could use a floppy disk and install the driver by pressing f6 during installation.

  Don't forget: OEM keys are related to the original motherboard enabled on.

• wiring replaced with SSD HD & put Dell Windows XP Home SP2 on again but does not refresh

  I removed my old drive hard-working mill & replaced with a SSD OCZ, 90 GB and put on Dell Windows XP Home SP2.  When I try to update windows, I have error 0x8024400A or # 0 x 80240036.  All the appropriate Dell drivers have been resettled.  Microsoft Fixit won't work because there is no SP3 on the computer.  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Click HERE. Download the batch file. Save the file to your desktop. Double-click on the file. This file stores some Windows dll files related to Windows Update. You should receive several confirmation that files are saved. Close the view and try to update Windows again.

  If still no joy, click HERE. Download sp3. Save the file to your desktop. Double-click the file to run it. Follow the prompts to install sp3. Try to update again once installation is complete.

• My computer is silent. I think XP audio drivers are corrupted__If I install Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade it will provide new drivers for sound card?

  My computer fell silent months ago after a download. I checked the healthy zone and everything is on and not anywhere in the system. I did a scan of unknown quality and that indicates a problem with the audio drivers. I tried to download new divers from Microsoft.

  Rather than spending all the resources on the Windows XP system, I am considering Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade. Upgrades include new audio drivers which will replace or overwrite the existing problem and make it all work as it should again.

  You can not spend XP as it's a clean install to get W7 on your PC.  To help transfer data documents, use the transfer on the W7 DVD program.

  Before doing that I suggest you download the Advisor to upgrade to W7 from Ms. If your PC passes, then you go to the next step which is download W7 drivers for your video card, sound card, printer, etc. and their storage on a USB for post install W7.

  If your PC isn't at the height (lack of drivers for one or more of your cards), then I would stick to XP. There is no guarantee that Vista drivers work in W7.

  If you stick to XP, download the drivers for specific sound card XP the PC manufacturer's Web site, they can be more up-to-date than those at Ms.

  See you soon,.

• Lost my "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade - 32 bit" folder and want to wipe my computer...

  I wipe my Dell Inspiron (1720). It came with Vista in 2007, but I've upgraded to Windows 7 in 2009 using the "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade - 32 bit" download that was offered to students at the time.

  When I re - install the OS and drivers (using supplied with the notebook backup discs), I would like to re - move to 7. Again, I have my product key for it but cannot find the original file that I downloaded to perform the upgrade. Is there a part of the Microsoft site that I can download this file from?

  If not, is there a way I can format my HDD without lose the BONE?

• Install an OEM version of WIndows XP Home SP2 on multiple computers, "Dell".

  Why is it possible to install an OEM version of Windows XP Home SP2 on multiple computers from Dell and have activated but not saved? Every Dell computer has its own product key sticker, but apparently this key on the sticker does not match the key that is part of the Dell reinstallation CD. I have this key finder utility that displays the same product key from the registry of each computer Dell. And that the key is not the same as the key on the sticker product key of the computer.

  Dell (and other important OEM) have the right to use a special type of results to 1) facilitate easy mass on preinstalled systems deployment and 2) allow a user to reinstall Windows without the headaches of activation (including situations where the COA is not more readable, etc.).  This activation includes a generic product key, called a key SLP (System Locked Preinstallation), and because it is generic for the purposes of OEM activation, he 1) does not work when used by itself and 2) does not match the product key on the certificate of authenticity.  The COA is your rights real run/use Windows software.  Occasionally, you may be asked to activate Windows (because of the corruption, hardware replacement, installation media unpaired, etc), in this case, the COA product key will work to activate Windows.  With Vista + your COA product key can be used to activate an installation from the media non - SLP (or "retail"), although telephone activation is usually required.  Although generally, it will install and activate, you are ONLY allowed to install Windows using SLP/OEM media on computers that have an accompanying person and COST of qualification for this OS (or down).

• Had a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade: I installed on the second machine and now do not know how to activate it.

  A few years back, I bought a laptop Dell 1537 that came pre-installed with Vista and also came with a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade.  I installed upgrading Windows 7 on the laptop from last year, and everything is fine with it.   Three weeks ago, I used this same disc to upgrade to Windows 7 and installed upgrading Windows 7 to my Dell XPS 430 desktop, with also came pre-installed with Vista.  At this point, I use an inactivated version of Windows 7 on my XPS 430.  With the 30-day grace period, Miss, I'm now unsure of how to properly activate the upgrade of Windows 7 on the XPS 430.  I know that I need a new product key, but what version of Windows 7 buy to get a product key valid: Windows 7 home Premium Upgrade, or Windows 7 Home Premium Full Version?

  Hello

  Since you have already used the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk to perform an installation upgrade on another computer, as you mentioned that you need a new product key to activate on another computer.

  You can either buy a updated version product key or full.

  If you purchase a product key for the version complete and in the future if you need to reinstall Windows, you can use the product key to perform a reinstallation without performing an upgrade installation.

  When you use an upgrade product key and if you need to reinstall Windows, you need to reinstall the Windows Help without using the upgrade product key and again perform an upgrade installation of the installed Windows to activate the system by using an upgrade product key.

  You can also get in touch with Microsoft Customer services for assistance.

• Change from 32-bit to 64-bit with Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade CD

  Hello

  I'm currently on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit.  Is it possible for me to move my Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit using my Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade CD? That is to say: to start my laptop with 64-bit upgrade CD and reformat my system?

  Yes, you can use the same product used to enable the 32-bit version with 64-bit disc.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7

  To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

  http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
