Should I / can I install a newer OS on my XP until 2014?
I have a Presario SR2020NX running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. At some point my computer stopped getting updates and frankly I'm tired of trying to solve the problem. I heard that Microsoft was going to stop updates / support in early 2014, so I thought I should just install a new operating system for (hopefully) correct the problems. My question is, is it possible (easily and cheaply) or should I just wait until he goes ka - put and buy a new computer? Thank you!
EPA, welcome to the forum.
If you want to upgrade the operating system for FREE, you can try Ubuntu (prn. oo-boon-too). I used it for years as a dual-boot. It's a great OS. There is an excellent forum to help you. "Absolute Beginners" Section is a great place to start to learn.
Everything you do with Windows is available from Ubuntu; Open Office is processing. All programs are FREE.
It would be a new learning experience and give you better performance from your old computer. Ubuntu is designed to work with computers of lower power.

I have a HP 4410 T with 1 GB of RAM. Can I install a new version of Windows 7?
I have hp 4410t 1 GB can always install a new copy of Windows 7
original title: I have hp 4410t 1 GB can I still install a new virsion of window 7Hello ricardoaleman
The system only comes with XP. HP does not offer Windows 7 as an option and is not likely to have the drivers for it. You can run the Windows Upgrade Advisor, but is not 100% because it will test for contradictory app and hardware that is capable of running. If it passes it still may not work due to lack of driver of the manufacturing support. -

I want to buy the Photoshop now, but I'm pretending to change my computer very soon. If I buy the software now and install in my computer run, when I buy a new one, I can't install the new with the same license free of charge?
Did you want to say «which intends "instead of"pretend"?» Assuming you did, the short answer is Yes.
If you purchase a perpetual license for Photoshop CS6, you want to deactivate the software on your old system before installing it on your new system.
If your goal is to reach the creative cloud, all you have to do is disconnect on the old system and the newspaper in the new system during the new installation of creative cloud with your Adobe ID
I don't know where you intend to purchase your license, but I suggest on sources other than Adobe themselves. There are a lot of fakers / scammers out there.

How can I install the new updates___
I have Vista 64-bit with Service Pack 2 is already installed, but am unable to install the new updates re: windows or office. One of the errors is '80070641'. I followed the instructions from Microsoft re: unable to install and read some of the forums found in the search engines which lead me to believe that my window Setup is corrupted or missing something. I went through this with HP as it was impossible to install updates also. I have a DVD of the operating system, but do not know how to use if appropriate. Give me options. If I need to recharge, can I just the installer? Should I save all my files first? Charleei
