Space required for the upgrade to Windows 8.1

Hi, I have a 32 GB SSD drive in my XPS with Windows 8 14. This 4 GB is free. If I opt for the upgrade to Windows 8.1, it replaces the Windows 8 files or consume this extra space after Windows 8? Windows 8.1 download size is 3, 8 GB.

If I have problems with the hard disk space, is it possible to roll back the upgrade? Thank you very much!!

You need 16 GBs minimum free space to accommodate the Setup routine...

16 GB for 32-bit

20 GB for 64-bit

If installation success does not, he will return to its original state.

  • Is the complete software reinstallation required after the upgrade to Windows 10

    People,

    I have Win 7 Professional and opted for the upgrade to Windows 10. I have a number of licensed, like MS Office software, complete Suite Adobe and Autodesk software, for which I have no media or installation Setup files.

    My question is after upgrade, I have to reinstall everything on my machine or all these software installations will be kept? Because I lost track of the installation for all these software media, it will be very expensive for me to buy everything new. App 'Get Windows 10' has not reported any of this software.

    This was one of the main reasons I couldn't move to Windows 8, reinstall all of these software are unaffordable for me.

    I'd appreciate any help on this matter.

    Thank you

  • Windows 7 Ultimate (MVP version) for the upgrade of windows 10

    I read here on the forums that depending on your version (selling retail or OEM), your upgrade to Windows 10 license will be allowed to transfer to a future computer with new hardware or we will be limited to current pc hardware.

    I have a version of Windows 7 Ultimate MVP, is - retail or OEM?

    I would like to know because I want to buy new hardware (CPU, mobo, vidcard etc) in 2016.

    Depending on the response, it might be interesting for me to wait for the Windows Update until next year and buy new hardware before July 29, 2016.

    If the upgrade of Windows 10 has the rights to transfer to a new material based on the version of Windows 7 Ultimate MVP, do I need to install the version of Windows 7 first before the upgrade again to 10 Windows on a new pc?

    Given that the "'free update is based on your current version of Windows 7 and is linked to your current hardware, you will need to re - install Windows 7 on your new hardware and then upgrade to Windows 10 GWX icon before July 29, 2016.

  • Problems of Windows 7 update in preparation for the upgrade of Windows 10

    My OS is Windows 7 Home and I want to upgrade to Windows 10. However, as I update all necessary upgrades by using Windows update, Internet Explorer fails. I wonder too, I have the app for windows 10 Get, but it crashes immediately after the launch. After the experience I uninstalled the KB3035583 to remove the application. Some say that I have the IE11 to solve this problem. The problem is that when I try to download the updates, Windows 10 is download only. The rest No. I pressed as the GET has started to button, simply download windows 10 and then fails to install (maybe because I don't have the windows application 10 get in my notif bar). I don't know what is happening, please help.

    Please be aware, even if you do not get the Windows 10 app, you can always download Windows 10 as one. ISO file, create a bootable copy and update your system.

  • Is the password required for the upgrade?

    When I bought my HP computer, I went to the premium version of what was their current line of portable computers for personal use. This computer is equipped with a fingerprint scanner that is managed by HP SimplePass. Let me clarify this now - I don't speak of the HP SimplePass created by Digital Persona, but one made by AuthenTec Incorporated.

    As a side note, the software HP SimplePass was first made by AuthenTec Incorporated, a company that went under in 2012, despite the rest of the software in circulation. HP SimplePass has a one-stop shop for all your needs safety. You can register several prints of multiple hands, create an identity by providing a profile photo and an email and opt-in to have all your passwords on websites you visit saved. Sounds nice, right? The problem is that it automatically collects your passwords (including bank accounts online, purchases, suppliers, etc.) and since the business ceases to exist (seriously, the program Web site is 'under construction' *) who knows who or what is in control of your account... and the connection related information. There are probably tons of people which has provided a real image of themselves, their email and allowed without knowing their password to remember.

    Now, even if I would prefer a lot do not have to use the HP SimplePass application, I. I have created an administrator password after the purchase of this laptop, but registered my footprint for ease of use. I forgot since the administrator password only by making my mark all these years. When I realized everything first how unworthy of trust HP SimplePass is, I looked in reset my password, but never took the time to create a password reset disk when I did the password. I tried several third-party applications, all claiming to allow me to change my password. None worked, most was advertising machines, and some have been marked by my antivirus software to be malicious. I didn't pay $30 to have HP send me a password recovery disk, so I stuck with my fingerprints while the other features of HP SimplePass disabling.

    Recently booked an upgrade of Windows 10 on this computer, I'm a little worried. This update will require the administrator password? The HP SimplePass application is compatible with the upgrade? Please comment if you know something or have had the same problems with HP SimplePass! I would like to also some suggestions on the third-party applications that actually reset passwords!

    Business Web page: www.authentec.com

    Is your current account, an administrator account? If Yes, you do not need any third-party tool. Here's what you need to do:

    1. Log in under this admin account, by using the fingerprint reader.
    2. Click the start planet.
    3. Type cmd.exe in the search box.
    4. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. Click on "Run as Administrator".
    6. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
      NET user "user %%nom" 123456
      (to set your password to 123456)
      NET user administrator abcxyz
      (to set the password for abcxyz)
      NET accounts /maxpwage: unlimited
      (to prevent the passwords expire)
    7. Log in as administrator to test the password.
    8. Create a folder printed of these passwords and store it in a place that you can not possibly forget. It is clear that relying on your memory will not work. It wouldn't work with my memory no more...

    Hi guys

    I found very useful Web of Toshiba site that provides all the answers!

    You can check and you can get all the details of your order to Win 7 on the page of Toshiba Europe:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-> Win 7 Upgrade-> Win 7 upgrade redemption site-> track your order

    You can also check the FAQ area on this page and you will find the explanations on the billing and payment.

    + Cost of upgrade is Windows 7? +
    + The software itself is free. Do us, however, charge you a fee to concoct the upgrade kit, but also a flat rate shipping charge. The taxes applicable to your order will be calculated during the order process and shown to you until you can confirm the execution of your order by clicking on "submit order". +

    It s clear that the software itself is free and you do not need to pay for Win 7.
    But the whole process (put together the upgrade kit, material, delivery, etc.) fee. But this tax will appear for you until you can confirm the execution of your order
    If you can accept it or you can leave

    So I m wondering what's the problem?
    If you n t want an upgrade, then you can buy a full license of Microsoft which is much more than 29, -.

  • Product key not working only not for the upgrade from Windows 7 starter to win 10

    I have two Asus EEEPCs came with Windows 7 Starter.  The product key is on the bottom of the devices.  And they are completely legible.   4 years ago by ish and over the years the installations of Windows crashed, one of them, I installed Linux, the other, I played a bit with the installation of Android.  Today, I have upgraded to Windows 10 for each of them, wipe the disk and did a full install from USB.  One of them was perfectly, the second installation won't take the period key, the product license.  I even tried to change the characters only TWO that could be incorrect due to friction vs O Q and still nothing.   is there a way to send an image of the product key to Microsoft and someone to tell me what the heck is wrong with it?

    Try to contact support to have reactivated it:

  • I will be eligible for the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8?

    OK, so I have a Dell PC with Windows 7, but there are LOTS of screenshots.

    Well, here it is:

    1. it is a laptop computer Dell Latitude D620, manufactured in June 2005 and in almost continuous use since then. It is still surprisingly running at full pace without any sign of imminent death, the only thing replaced after being the DVD drive by me a few months ago. However, it was for a reason any sold by some obscure computer store in Oregon that no longer exists with... you guessed it... Windows 98! Even if it was a PC brand new with a processor to 3.6 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM and a 80 GB HDD. Someone managed to get 98 supporting NTFS and multiple core processors, as well as all access modern ports.

    2. between yesterday and today, it has changed hands 3times & 1/2. I say 1/2 because it belonged to a mobile commerce rental service. It has been upgraded from windows 98 through the different versions (Millennium, 2000, XP, XP MC) almost as soon as he leaves the plateau. He never had the OEM OS, NEVER, my best guess would be XP Media Center 2005.

    3. when I bought it in March 2011 for $250 on Ebay, it was XP SP3 on it, which I suppose is reasonably close to the OEM and oddly, Netscape Navigator. I immediately updated for Firefox and Chrome (I was taught to hate IE by father of Ubuntu 11.04 - running, he has always not has not upgraded to 11.10 or 12.04 LTS because he does not like she went from Gnome to the complete unit for a more mobile sensation). After about 6 months with the thing, I decided to use the old Vista Pro my dad drive to improve and maintain my stuff and do the same thing in Vista to 7.

    4. I got the Windows 7 Ultimate key off one of these as a reward online survey companies, the insertion of a Windows 7 box was in an envelope in my mailbox the next day. I put it in my computer and it worked for awhile, but it threw an error "you must activate Windows" less than a month. I called Microsoft support and managed to get a free replacement.

    So basically, it of really old (but still able to catch up with modern computers), changed hands a ridiculous amount of time, had a case upgrade and friends-letting-you-use-their-disc-for-free history that calibrated before the Millennium, was sold by a company that no longer exists with a tweak hack and possible root of an obsolete OS without reason that definitively cancelled the guarantee , crossed 2 FREE Windows 7 product keys, no one can find the original license or serial number and still less the person who actually bought the damn thing, AND the kitchen sink!

    My question is, I'll be eligible for the Windows 7-8 upgrade, not, or is there no way to know even at this stage? Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

    NOTE: Most of this information came from a complete history, I bought from the seller (who happened to have a scanned copy of each receipt, label, box and contract of prior to the time of thanks to God, even if I don't think that he could get this info legally or easily) for $ 20 as a result of a non-ebay transaction.

    This blog says MS that you are entitled to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $ 39.99 it aims just have Win7 without making any reference to upgrade history.

  • Attempt to determine the space required for the migration of the opening...

    Hello:

    I'll put together a plan to migrate from Aperture to Lightroom.  My research is coming short on a particular issue... If I use Adobe plug-in to convert, if it changes the file system existing opening, thus converting the Lightroom folder structure?  Or, is, in essence, "duplicate" files by creating a new set for Lightroom and leaving the intact existing opening?

    If it gives all existing files, I'm fine.  If it is redundant with, I have to approach differently - since my opening set is about 400 GB, and I have about 100GB left on my drive.

    I've almost worn out G for Google tries to find an answer.  Your help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    PS I posted this on the General discussion of Lightroom, but I have received no feedback.

    The migration tool calculates the space required before continuing. It really depends on if your Aperture library is managed or referenced. In the case of a managed library, your images will be get duplicated in order to protect the opening of corruption. See this link for more information:

  • Calculate the disk space required for the INDEX

    Hello

    How to calculate the disk space required to create an INDEX? Please tell me where I can get the details of resources.

    For example:
    I need to create a non-UNIQUE INDEX on the columns, an approximate size would do.

    < PRE >
    NOT NULL DATE EVENT_DATE
    APPT_DATE_SLOT VARCHAR2 (15)
    EVENT_STATUS VARCHAR2 (4)
    < / PRE >

    The table has some 7 300 000 rows. I would like to know how to calculate too.

    All AIDS are very much appreciated.

    A rough estimate of the index space will need is possible by

    adding the actual length expected from each column, plus 6 for the rowid, 2 for the number of the X-header of the rows in the table that will be so an entry

    Date are 7 bytes internal + 15 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 34 X 7.3 M = 248200000 X General fresh for the block header, initrans, etc...

    We will use 20% overhead block or 1.2 X 248200000 = 297840000, which is about 285 M

    The actual distribution will vary according to your method of range tablespace.

  • Preparation for the upgrade of Windows 2008 server to a more recent version of IIS

    I am preparing a server from IIS 7 to IIS 8.5 upgrade and installation of Wordpress.

    Based on my past experience with Windows, I just want answers before you begin the process of upgrading to these questions.

    After the upgrade to IIS 7 to 8.5 IIS erases from my old site, and IIS instantly crashes whenever I try to restart it via the services or by doing an iisreset in the terminal, how do IIS running again so I can recharge my virtual directories?

    After I installed Wordpress and IIS starts crashing again, how can I me IIS regularly rerun?

    When I get to the point where I have two Web sites running on the same server (which the Windows server documentation is both 7.0 and 8.5 are capable of handling), but it turns out that I can't get a site to run at the same time without the server crash, how do I turn to the second Web site so I can follow the two sites up and running?
