• What is the best way to transfer your license of Windows product key when you sell your older hardware?

  Hello

  I wanted to just see what others suggest, when planning on the sale of your more old hardware to family or friends and ensure the maximum payment and trade-in value.  I have a laptop that I will probably remove the Windows operating system and installs an open source OS top. I intend to sell the laptop of the family, and I'm little warily to get paid as much as I want for her.  I think that one option could be to remove the product key sticker, until I paid, and then send the product to them key sticker separately or is it really important and should leave the sticker on the computer because the laptop was first recorded in my name and my address.  I read your suggestions on how to handle this matter. THX ;)

  You are not supposed to do. License is part of the machine, remove the sticker isn't fair, since you sell the machine, the license must be sold with it.

  In addition, you cannot use the license elsewhere.

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• With the help of DirectX 11 with older hardware

  Hello, I have a question about DirectX 11. I have a graphics card that is designed for DirectX 9, I was wondering if DirectX 11 will work at all with my card. From my understanding, fine, but not with the new advanced features that would have a DirectX 11 compatible card. Is this correct? Would be using DirectX 11 with a so-called "not compatible" graphics card slow down performance? Thanks for the info, XPAero

  Features of DirectX 11 works on a DirectX 11 compatible card. But you can use your DirectX 9 card anyway. DX11 is hardware compatible DX9. Although you may miss DX11 performance improvements is to wait. a downturn with the help of an old card, however, would be surprising (not to get improvements is not the same as obtaining a downturn).

• ESXi and vSphere support on older hardware?

  I have freelance consulting work.  I often need a VMware platform for the work I do.  For the most part, I've been running on desktop on my laptop.  That works well for some things, but for other things, I really need ESXi.

  Being a small shop with a budget of small equipment, I'm looking for a low cost solution.  I found an old HP DL380 G4 for a very reasonable price.  It is not a big box, but it would do well for my needs.

  My question: how long is this likely to be taken platform supported in ESXi/vSphere?  No reason to expect to stop working anytime soon, or should I expect to work "forever"?

  Thank you!

  I have a few old DL360 G4 models in my test environment, and they certainly VT support. A glance on the Intel site shows that without VT - x support (http://ark.intel.com/products/27089/64-bit-Intel-Xeon-Processor-3_60E-GHz-2M-Cache-800-MHz-FSB) XEON Processors

• Uprgading a laptop older

  Hello, I'm Chris. I have a HP dv6 3259wm. Its a portable older and I wanted to update the processor from the AMD Phenom II Triple P860 2.00 GHz processor to something with more power. I installed the maximum amount of ram but wanted to get more out of it. I went through the list of compatible processors by manufacturing publications but don't know if I need to change anything else, during the passage of the processors. Any suggestions?

  Here is the Manual:

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02659236.PDF

  See Page 25. All AMD processors work on all the mothers AMD variety.

  The CPU you want is this:

  AMD Phenom II N970 Quad 2.20 GHz processor (2, 0 MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB, 35W, 3.6 gigatransfers per second)

  The processor is $ 50 on eBay:

  http://www.eBay.com/ITM/AMD-Phenom-II-quad-core-2-2-GHz-2-MB-quad-core-mobile-N970-HMN970DCR42GM-S1g4-/321472803911?PT=CPUs&hash=item4ad945b447

  This is a drop in replacement. Just to be on the safe side, I would upgrade to the latest version of the BIOS before proceeding with the Exchange, but even that shouldn't be necessary. Clean around the fan/radiator and fan outlets and apply the paste heat high quality barely just coating the silvery central part of the transformer. that is the core. Polishing the bottom surface of the radiator and clean the fan blades with alcohol and dry thoroughly.

  Don't expect huge gains. The increase of 3 to 4 hearts will not even usable in many programs and 2.0 to 2.2 ghz isn't a big bump. The basic architecture of the bus and memory speed will not change. Certainly not, I spend more than $50 on this. More than upgrades to older hardware attempts are ultimately a disappointment.

  Happy Holidays-

  I started my company currently a view deployment and have standardized on zero clients such as endpoint devices.  My clients have a variety of big existing Dell customer ranging in age from nine to 8 years.  They asked why we cannot re-use their computers instead of buying new zero customers.  My understanding all about repurposing a thick client is you want to install Windows 7 on the existing hard drive, and then use the view client software to connect to the agent to connect.  Can someone comment on that?  Mainly looking for experiences of peoples using repurposed big customers.  Also, looking at how you would manage the devices as with the zero clients I know you can use a Teradici or Wyse product to manage.  Ask yourself how you would handle these big customers? Can you take out the hard drive and do some sort of boot pxe for the broker for connections?  Thanks for your advice/experiences?

  Kind regards

  Hi Erik,

  We use zeros here, but we also examined existing recycling old workstations using the thin PC MS (essentially Windows 7 embedded) version. A couple of things we found:

  License: unless you have a Windows with SA license on your existing desktops you will need licensed VDA use these workstations with a view. Good news, you get a thin 'free' PC license with each license of the VDA. Note that you must VDA licenses with zero clients too.

  Performance: Saw no real with old workstations downside until we tried to run several FullHD watch and RTAV-, then we saw some slowdowns on older hardware, then make sure you understand your use case. (Fewer points for customers zero here - so far, no RTAV support at all.)

  Interview: Still need to patch the thin parts, so for us, this was a major negative. The beauty of zeros is zero (Finally, almost zero) maintenance and the straightforward console done Teradici configuration/updates on the zeros. Gets you out the monthly patch chore to endpoints, but you still need to patch your main images and reinvigorate.

  Compliance: The biggest draw for us with zero clients met (we are in financial services) and do not have any local storage was huge at the time of the audit. With the PC thin your users shouldn't be storing anything either locally, but hard drives are always there and always subject to verification.

  I hope this helps.

  Hello danielingalt89,

  Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

  Try the rest of the stage in this article:

  System restore points are created automatically when the following occur:

  • When you install a new application or driver.
  • When you uninstall or install some programs.
  • When you install new updates
  • Automatically on a daily interval
  • Manually by creating a.
  • If you choose to use system restore to restore to a previous restore point, System Restore creates a new restore point before you restore a previous state in case something goes wrong. If you are restoring to a previous state in Mode without failure, a restore point will create for the current state.

  So that the restoration of the system to work, you must have 300 MB of free space for each hard disk that monitors the system restore. System Restore will also use up to 15% of disk space on each disk that it monitors. That hard disk space runs out, older restore points will be deleted as newer ones. It is also important to note that you must be logged in as an administrator in order to use the system restore. Now that you understand the basics of the system restore, you must continue to the next section to learn how to use it.

  Restore Windows Vista to a previous state

  In the case of a problem on your computer that cannot be solved by normal means, you can restore your computer to a previous working state. To do this, you need to start restoring the system so that you can choose the restore point to restore. If you currently have Windows Vista boot problems, you can use the system restore in Windows recovery environment. Instructions on how to do it in this tutorial can be found: System Restore using the Windows Vista recovery environment.

  If you can connect to Windows Vista, you must follow these steps.

  By default, Vista will be already selected the restore recommended option. This restore point is one followed a new pilot program, or update has been installed. If you do not want to use this restore point, you can click on the button next to start the restore process. On the other hand, if there is a more recent restore point that you want to restore you should select choose a different restore point and press the next button. This will bring you to a screen, as shown in Figure 2, which contains a list of all available restore points that you can restore.

  8. the System Protection tab

  To create a manual restore point, you must click on the button create. When you press this button a prompt asking you to give a title to this manual restore point.

  9. Enter the manual restore point title

  Type a title for the manual restore point and press the button create. Vista will now create a restore point manually and once finished, post a notice that it was created successfully.

  10. Manual restore point has been created

  Now that you have finished doing the manual restore point, you can close the system window.

  Have you tried to make the clean boot before installing this update. There could be interference or a program context prevents the installation of this update. If you have please ignore this information.

  Clean boot

  We will also test in a clean boot environment to see if this issue is related to interference from other services / programs:

  I think that the message that the current video driver does not support this. Update your video drivers and see if that helps.

  Never get the drivers from Windows Update. Bring:

  1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
  2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
  3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

  Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

  To find out what hardware is in your computer:

  1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
  2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
  3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

• After years of stability, FW800 drives now randomly disappear

  I have a Mac Mini to / 2009 with 6 2 TB G-drives attached via FireWire 800 and configured as RAID 6 to mirrored volume. My system has been configured in this way for about 4 years.

  About three months ago I started having problems with the volume randomly endangered (incorrect disc is ejected). It happens when the drives are inactive and when there is an intense activity of IO - makes no difference. When this problem started, the volume has been configured with the AppleRAID and disks are connected in Garland, one to the other, on the back of my Mac Mini. I have since turned off all power management features, replaced cables, left for SoftRAID(4) AppleRAID, reset the Mac Mini, reinstalled OS X, makes a partial disk swap off Spotlight, put a fan on the push to reduce their usage time and installed a powered hub of Nitro AV to remove the Garland. No substantive changes - only they don't give up much, but it happens still regularly (every 24-48 hours).

  Interestingly, not all 6 discs disappear. Sometimes when it's just one, or maybe two or three or even five of the six. I can't decipher a pattern. I find it odd that only some readers drop out and those who is different every time. Sometimes reboot will bring them back, but not always. The only sure method to get the reader to put it back online is tension on the drive.

  The one constant I've observed more recently is there is always this error FireWire a few seconds to a minute before readers abandon "Lucent ID 5901 integrated: handleUnrecoverableErrorInt.» I did some research and found not much - more info on audio problems than drives.

  Before moved me to SoftRAID(4), who owns a proprietary driver limit myself to a single PC, I moved the disk on another machine of circa-2009 (a MBP). The problem was always present, but not as bad. Maybe an obscure issue with interaction between El Capitan and my older hardware?

  This problem has led to problems of significant data corruption and too many hours of troubleshooting of headaches and so I'm done with FW and move to a Synology NAS. I thought I would check here if to see if there is new way of thinking about this old topic or something obvious that I may have missed my troubleshooting.

  Thank you.

• allright, I have an Intel Mac using OS 10.5.8 and Firefox v3.5.17; version 4.0, version 16.0, this is all very confusing? Will be forced to change soon

  I have an Intel Mac using OS 10.5.8 and Firefox v3.5.17. It works fine and I don't want to change I like Firefox 'exactly' like that! That said, I'll be forced to update soon, I'm afraid. Looking at and trying to update to the latest version, many conflicts have developed. The update regularly which brings me to the wrong version for my OS. So, which version will be later that will absolutely work for OS 10.5.8? WHY I find that 4.0 X is the best then, 16.0. is the right one?

     Why are the versions so vastly separated??
     Nothing makes sense. Please help before I convert to Chrome permanently!
  

  Thank you.

  You have only two ways out of updating to OS X 10.6.8 and Firefox 16.0.2 or version of ESR Firefox 10.0.12.
  
  In regard to safety ESR version would be the best choice and would go for this version see if web pages continue to complain.
  
  In case of complaint you can always try 16.0.2.
  
  With older hardware, you will always hit sooner or later a barrier and will consider updating your hardware (which in this case may be a new computer).

• CP is 100% with Win 2 k, 9.0 is worse than 4.0, Flashblock?

  CP is 100%, which means that it is maxed out poor performance
  Win 2 k is the operating system
  9.0 seems to be the worst performer
  4.0 tops out at 100, but not as often
  Research shows increased ads and hurt nonessential generals, something related to a "Flash".
  So............
  How not to inhibit all the graphics and ads?

  That material should be sufficient for Firefox 4.0 and 9.0, and I see that you're using Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183 (which may be the most recent available for W2K) I found better for my older hardware (AMD64 2.2 GHz 2.0 GB RAM) on Windows XP, as the versions of Flash 11.

  FlashBlock is an option to block all Flash, but I prefer NoScript will block most of the plugins to run automatically, which allows the user to start each 'presentation' when they want to see it. Furthermore, NoScript allows the user to select what JavaScript is allowed to run on every domain by domain. It's a royal pain-in-the-ass until you get the permissions for your most visited web sites, but I wouldn't surf without it.

• First Graphing Calculator Identification of old Version of main material has

  Hello

  I tried to update the firmware to the latest version (2014-07-02 (6031)) on my graphing calculator of premium without success, the release_info.txt file which indicates (for 2014 03 31 (6030) firmware version):

  There is limited between that backward compatibility and earlier releases.

  First older hardware (revision A) supports this version, but the stream without thread-to-unit and data functionality is not supported on previous models. In the first screen HP help > revision of material appears with the software version information.

  How will I know if my calculator hardware number is A revision material?

  Is the version of CASE the number of material?

  Thank you very much

  H.

  Hello

  All primes of HP are upgraded to the version 6030 (note that 6031 is for PC emulator only). It's just that the material has a problem with certain communications.

  Firmware version prior to 6030 (5447 and older) do not show the hardware version in the display 'a way'.

  When you upgrade to 6030 the hardware version will appear on the display 'a way'.

  Alternatively, you can determine the version of the material from the model number (located on the back of the box she approached, the bar code):

  NW280AA is A revision material

  G8X92AA is the review material C

  In addition, the following process is recommended for the upgrade of the premium:

  Install the connection from the CD Kit.

  Once installed the connection, update the calculator.

  The following method is recommended:

  • Connect your HP Calculator first via the supplied USB cable (connected directly, do not use a USB hub)
  • Start the HP connectivity Kit
  • Click the tab of the calculator
  • Right click on the name of the first HP you want to update (it would be that you connected before starting this procedure)
  • Write down the version number, and then click the OK button
  • Click the Help Menu and select Check for update
  • Look for the pop-up box to update, check the version number that is newer than the one you want to update.
  • Then click on the download button
  • That's it, you will see the update being loaded and installed on your calculator screen. Don't click too quickly out of the HP Connectivity Kit, wait a minute or two after the completion.
  • In addition, there are a step in the connectivity Kit where it is advisable to back up the version that you had before the procedure, just in case. This way, you have a way to cover again.

  Kind regards.
