    Hello

    I wanted to know if I should upgrade to windows 10 or not.

    I checked my pc with the windows 10 application and he said that your computer meets all the requirements. But I wanted to know whether or not windows 10 is a stable operating system.

    When I bought my pc it ran Windows 8 and I have upgraded to windows 8.1. My pc has a few small problems since then.

    Most of them slipped, but there is a little. I have not found windows 8.1 as a stable OS, it has flaws and is not fluid.

    And if windows 10 is good, then tell me how should I update. I saw there are two types of upgrade. One is to you

    @AA7,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  At this point I would like to wait a few months for all the bugs to settle with the operating system and compatibility with the software and drivers.

    It normally takes a few months for an operating system to take the ist wake when dealing with hardware and software.

    Keep an eye on the support page for your laptop.  Then pass the drivers and software for windows 10 becomes listed.

    Thanks for the post and have a great day.

    You know it's a real shame that HP didn't advise people to do it before we upgraded. Now you admit that your drivers do not work with Windows 10. Bunch of idiots.

  • Wp8/Xbox user - should I upgrade to Windows 8, or listen to the negative cries against the metro Interface?

    I am a happy user of Windows Phone 8. Should given I upgrade my laptop years (without touchscreen) of Windows 7 to the new 8?

    It seems that Windows 8 really is faster, more stable, more secure, but proposes drastic changes wildly 7. My main thought it would be cool to have the operating system that is unified through WP8, Windows and Xbox, should I switch to Windows 8?

    Any response is welcome and very much appreciated - I've been mulling over the thought for two weeks now, but am being repelled by negative feedback of the UI screen Windows 8 start. What are suggestions? Too early to consider?

    Do not use Metro user interface. No right to say that you need. Install something like the classic interface, which will give you a menu. And you can skip the subway altogether

    Although I would like to do a clean install of Win8 if you can. Just make sure you buy the version of Win8 allows you. Too many people having problems updating Win8 after its been installed. I think people have had probs update WIn8 on HP / Dell (and perhaps other) laptops or computers that have been updated to Win7, it did not clean installs.

    Equipment and / or programs that migrate to Win7 for Win8 (if you upgrade) on most of them ceases to WIn8 to update correctly. Some people got delete all programs or everything to do with the material (before trying to install some subsequent updates for Win8).

    Otherwise, they will never install. me that I did a clean install and have been fine since. Even after all the WIn8 will update probably because its not HP or Dell. I build my own. Has too much of a hassle with loan / systems because of our days. And they install too * / garbage on them

    And smartglass is pretty cool. If you have something that supports.

    Also note if you're using media center, it does not come with WIn8. But MS are distributing keys for it but it MUST be activated prior to January 31, 2013, I think that it is

    And Media player does not support the DVD. Done only Media center

    The problem is probably that the Linksys E1200 is a wireless-N Router and your former Office no doubt has a wireless adapter that is only capable of wireless-G (or perhaps Wireless G and B).

    Are adapters wireless in your other computers wireless - n?  If so, it perhaps is the reason why they could not connect to your old G of Netgear wireless router.

    You can get a new wireless-N for the office adapter or configure the E1200 wireless g available.

  • Should I upgrade to Windows 7 x 86?

    This is for my friend. It uses a Windows 7 Home Premium PC 64 bit, with Intel Core2Duo & 3 GB of RAM. He says that he is not able to make a good multitasking with his PC. He said that his PC slows down when there is that a presentation PowerPoint & Video Editor opens at the same time.  Must it install Win7 32-bit instead of 64-bit? Is that it gives more opportunity to multi-task?

    N ° down to 32-bit won't do anything to help at all.

    Video editing is usually enough RAM and CPU. The CPU should be enough (even if an upgrade would definitely help), and 3 GB of RAM is decent. But, according to its use, an upgrade of RAM might help considerably. It would be smoother multitasking, too. Adding more than 4 GB requires a 64 bit OS, as well, so it is best to leave this part alone.
  • Should I upgrade to Windows 8.1 Windows 8?

    Separated from this thread.

    Hello, my question is, should I update 8 to 8.1 if I don't want?

    After reading all the problems that people have had this update, I'd rather just stay with 8 which works fine for now.  However, if I continue to ignore the Microsoft popup to upgrade I have to upgrade at some point in the future?

    Knowing Microsoft, I just have a feeling that I won't have a choice soon.  Does anyone know?

    Thanks in advance.

    Should you? Lol but you should definitely.

    After reading all the problems that people have had this update, I'd rather just stay with 8 which works fine for now.

    This is a typical situation: (here, other forums, to messages
    focus groups, etc.) Since the small percentage of people who have
    problems, but you don't see any message from the countless others who have
    no problems (like me and everyone else I know). These people
    no problem not asking what to do.

    As someone said one day, hang around a store of transmission for awhile and
    you think that all cars have transmission problems.

    This is not to say that I can guarantee you that you will have problems with
    it. but the risk of problems is low.

    Summer wrote: where can I get a DVD of Windows 7 upgrade?

    Hello summer, DVD of Windows 7 x 64 upgrade usually can be found in your local computer supply store.

    Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system is delivered with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP1.

    Here a link to Newegg where the operating system Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium Upgrade can be found for USD $109.00 with free shipping. Free shipping usually takes about 7-10 days. You can choose faster shipping for an extra cost options.

    This Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium Upgrade is a commercial version and comes with a free gift of Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2012 1 user license.

    When you insert the DVD into the optical drive and boot the system, you would be presented with the option in a few screens to perform an upgrade installation. You would select just a upgrade and installation will continue and complete.

    You should then have Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 installed. If you want or need a more robust version, such as Windows 7 x 64 Pro or Ultimate, you can find these institutions, but they cost a bit more, and if you do not need the features of these versions, it would not be the extra cost.

    Whatever version you decide, you must put the enclosed certificate of authenticity (COA) on the system case and remove the Vista COA of the case. This could ensure that you are legal.

    You should also go to the Windows Update site after the upgrade and see if there are new updates for your system.

    I think it would be.

  • The upgrade of Windows 7 Pro OEM of Windows 7 Ultimate retail

    My PC is custom built and delivered with Windows 7 Pro OEM installed.  I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate in order to obtain several language and BitLocker.  I know that in a few months, I'll change this PC motherboard (motherboard).

    I know that with the OEM, the product key of Windows 7 license is attached to the motherboard.  So when I change, Win 7 Pro license will be lost.  Since I want to be able to transfer the license of Windows 7 to one MOBO to another, I bought a full commercial version of ultimate.

    My question is this.  To upgrade the Pro OEM ultimate retail, it's just a matter of changing the product key on the screen of the system property and the new product key will launch the installation of missing features to Windows 7 Pro?

    You must use Anytime Upgrade.

    Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, follow the on-screen Wizard, enter the key of Windows 7 ultimate on demand, click on, and then restart your computer when you are prompted. Less than 10 minutes, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and your files and settings retained.

    This means the boxed retail copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.
