Should what version of Windows 7 I buy?

Misfortunes of activation.

My PC vendor failed to provide me with a product key, so I can't activate windows. My options are to buy another copy of Windows 7 64 bit home edition premium for £150. or upgrade to Windows 7 Professional for £120. There is a drawback with the solution less expensive?

If your PC is never come with a license for Windows 7 (Home Premium or professional), you must purchase a full version license for the edition you have installed, and select.

To know what edition you are running, click Start, right-click on computer

Click on properties

Look under 'Windwos 7 Edition.

This will allow to specify which edition is installed.

You can proceed with the acquisition of the right for the edition product key:

  • What "version" of Windows 7 Professional buy to be compatible with the merger?

    I am currently running Win XP in Fusion.  I would like to buy Windows 7 Professional and create a brand new clean install of a new virtual machine with it.

    I've seen discussions which indicate that some versions of Windows 7 may NOT be installed in Fusion (specifically OEM - System Builder).  I really don't understand what it means. Which version CAN I buy and install?  Is there a specific number of Microsoft product that I should look for?  Are some versions OEM OK with merging?  How do I know if it will work?  I have many, many of them for sale online have watched but don't know which to buy.  Is there a certain online seller who has a compatible version?

    Microsoft support is notorious for giving wrong information about legal usage of the various licenses - as much as the rules relating to Windows 8 radically (and repeatedly).

    OEM licenses are legal for use on the machine on which they were delivered with.  Because Apple is not shipped with windows machines, no OEM licenses are legal to use on a Mac (boot camp or other).

    Amazon.com: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional [old Version]: software

    Seems to be the commercial version.  Put another way - if it's under $400, it's probably OEM (or false).

  • Should what version of PhotoShop Elements I buy for Windows Vista Home Premium, and from what source?

    The first time buy PhotoShop.  I need it for a project I'm involved in my school, but I can't download creative cloud or PhotoShop elements 13 because Vista is not supported by Adobe.  However, I find it easier to find a version more suited to my computer instead of the update (just, I will be brief, it is not convenient at THIS TIME for me to upgrade my PC, even if many think it would be better for me).

    I was just on the Amazon search for PhotoShop elements PC available boxes and goes with whatever version 11 or less than that which was at a good price.  It is a good way to go or is there something special about buying CD download I need to know?  Is the purchase of a source like Amazon, rather than directly from Adobe put me at risk for a false version of PhotoShop Elements (although I was looking to buy a box of 'new' to avoid this, if I can find some)?

    I can't find WHERE Adobe sells its products from its own Web site rather than creative cloud right now.  A link would be very much appreciated that this place exists.  Thank you.

    You can download a free trial version for PES 10, 11 or 12 of this link:

    Products download Photoshop Elements | 10, 11, 12, 13>

    You can use this trial version for 30 days, after which you will have to buy a boxed version of the Amazon and use the serial number of the box to activate your trial version.

    If, however, you complete your project within the next 30 days, then you don't need to buy anything.  Money saved for other things.

    Good luck.

  • Should what version of Premiere Elements I buy?

    I just bought a camera that generates output 1920 x 1080 24 fps.  My old version of Premiere Elements does not recognize this format.   Are there any that do?

    Paul

    Thanks for the reply with the details of your first items 4.

    H.264.mov is supported format for my first Elements 4 on Windows 7 64 bit. It is generally accepted that the AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/h.264) was not supported until that first Elements 7.

    I began research for a sample of the Canon SX50HD download online, but could find a. I found one of SX40HD. The sample was

    H.264.mov 1920 x 1080 @ 23.976 progressive frames per second.  In first Elements 4 on Windows 7 64 bit, I went with the the project preset 1080i30 NTSC HDV HDV (1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic16:9 which is stretched by the 16:9 1920 x 1080 for a view after the encoding).

    The file imported into first Elements 4 without problems. And, I could export it as 1920 x 1080p23.976 H.264.mov in the section actions/Personal Computer / QuickTime program, customizing default preset label button/video put forward of the preset.

    At this point, I don't know if your results of generic error for the import of the SX50HD H.264.mov was related to:

    a. do not have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with first Elements 4

    b. SX50HD H.264.mov is a different way than the SX40HD H.264.mov

    c. other

    Although later versions of the program will be more features and defaults preset according to formats and cameras later, I'm not convinced that you cannot not acceptable edit and export your video sample of your first items 4.

    Please check and review and then we can discuss this further.

    Thank you.

  • Windows Storage: what version of windows and updated to reflect later

    Hello

    I am very new to Windows storage space. I have a few questions:

    1. what version of Windows is the best (only for storage purposes): 8.1 Windows Client, Windows Server R2 Windows Server 2012 Essentials 2012?

    2. in the scenario that I have only 1 HDD now for this. My ultimate goal is to have a mirror put in place when I could buy another drive. Is it possible to go game now and add another disk to mirror later? Do I have to re - format the drive being installed with the new disk mirrored do? Any instructions somewhere?

    Thank you

    Bao.

    This system, which is used for?  Business with several users who connect or personal?

    That would certainly answer your questions...

    Personally, I still hope an array of material on all the rest.  Just as software RAID could you create a mirror RAID with through previous editions of products 'professional or better' Windows - space storage is always based software. ;-)

    With the help of Google:
    https://www.Google.com/search?q=use+storage+spaces+to+create+mirror

    Probably, that's what you're looking for (according to ISO how you asked, etc.):

    http://www.howtogeek.com/109380/how-to-use-Windows-8s-storage-spaces-to-mirror-combine-drives/

    ... and...

    http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-8/create-RAID-like-data-backup-using-storage-spaces-Windows-8/

    Not to complicate things.  It is really as easy as adding the physical drive and selecting the one-way glass, given what you have so far.

    Of course - backups should always be verified (image of the system if possible) before doing anything.  While you might lose data by READING this for various reasons - you increase the risk when you start to play with the data in real time.  ;-)

    Hi Vikram Aneja,
     
    -Are you referring to the upgrade offer that is running for Windows 8?

    If so, it is only applicable if you buy a preinstalled Windows 7 computer during the offer period and you would upgrade to Windows 8 for a nominal sum.
    It is important that you record the purchase of computer of Windows 7 upgrade offer Web site.
    In addition, this offer is not applicable for Windows XP or Windows Vista. (Even if you buy a license for these operating systems)
     
    Hope this information helps.
  • What version of Windows I have?

    What version of Windows I have? I can not also read the sticker because it is worn out and the laptop will not completely start or repair, recovery disks are lost. Part number is readable bbut paert looks like:

    Can I use any dissk installation of re - install no matter what windows I had pre-installeed.

    the laptop is a HP G61-110SA laptop

    Hello

    You probably don't need to know what version of Windows, but the Panel of configuration/system will tell you if you are interested. There will probably be a sticker on the laptop (not the one that you can not read, under the cover near the mouse pad), which you said, but I guess you could have peeled off.

    Look at this link for how to do a system reinstall...

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c02638587&tmp_task=solveCategory&CC=UK&DLC=en&lang=en&LC=en&product=4066817

    In addition, if provided with the laptop or you recovery disks burn them for yourself these should also do the job.

    Before do you a re-install back up your data you can restore it later. You will also need to re - install the software that was installed after purchase.

    Since you're running Vista... I suspect that you run Windows

    I currently have Safari Version 6.1.6 and that you need to update. Should what version of safari I download?

    The latest version of Safari is 9.1. Apple page on this subject is here. Perhaps the reason best/only to use an earlier version if you are using an older version of OS X (pre 10.9.5) or a former Mac (before Intel processor.) You told us all this, in your question.
