• Switch from Win XP and OE Express to Windows live mail, then in Win7 running Outlook 2010 - how?

  This is NOT an easy process.

  (A) can I download Windows Live mail on my Win XP machine to migrate my e-mal address book and messages?

  (B) then, after I get stuff all the Windows Live stuff I'm supposed to be able to download stuff on Win 7 and Outlook.

  Copy all the files from Outlook Express dbx on the XP machine in the Win 7 machine.  Also, to find the wab (address book) file and copy that.  Then in Outlook try Alt | File | Options | Advanced | Export and click on the button "export".  Then gives you options to import messages or address book and OE to choose it.  I have not tried and it might not work, but this would be the simplest method and you wouldn't have to go through living things.

  See instructions for import here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for Windows Mail in Vista.  Most of the provisions continue to apply, but in Outlook Import Wizard may not have the quirkiness of the Vista one.  Dbx files cannot be readonly however and the folders.dbx file must be present.  And copy the dbx files to a folder on the desktop on the Win7 machine so you won't not permissions with importation problems.

• can I switch from win xp pro sp3 Windows XP Professional x 64

  I have an old computer Pentium (32 bit system) (2001) with max memory 2 GB and I wish to Exchange my c: drive to a new 64-bit computer that has the capacity of up to 16 GB of memory.  I am currently using win xp pro sp3 and I don't want to move to Vista or 7 because I'm very comfortable with win xp pro screens.  I'm assuming that win xp Pro x 64 edition is similar for win xp pro in that regard.  Current box has four scsi drives, 2 CD/DVD, 4 pci for creating music cards readers, card Radeon video (2 screens), 2.2 GHz Intel Pentium CPU, 2 GB memory Rambus.  I'm go to Gigabyte GA45T-ES3G-ATX, CPU 3.0 Ghz 775, 16 GB memory Kingston Hyper X, videocard PNY 450NVS Quadro (4 screens), 2 SSD drives (100(c drive)/500 GB).  I opted for the Gigabyte motherboard because it has a pcie x 16 video card and 5 pci slots.  I use software Cakewalk mainly which has a capacity of 64-bit and some of my cards have drivers 64-bit available.  Other software will be able to run in 32-bit mode (x 86).

  My plan is to clone the c: drive current, load it on the new ssd drive and upgrade to Win xp Pro x 64 load if possible.

  First and most importantly, there is no way to upgrade from XP 32 bit to 64 bit, you must perform a "clean installation" of the 64-bit version and then reinstall your applications. Don't forget to back up your data files.

  Secondly because the card mother old and new are very different (device drivers and chipset), it is unlikely that, after cloning your hard drive to an SSD, the computer would even start.

  I'd rather you 32-bit version of Windows XP is a 'Reticular Full' version (OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard it is installed on and can not be activated on another motherboard) is to reinstall XP 32 Bit to one of your SSD drives (you did not mention RAID), then install the drivers from Gigabyte.

  If you must go the 64-bit road know that 64-bit XP was not very well supported by software vendors and is not widely used.

  Also note that this socket 775 motherboard uses memory DDR3 and no common DDR2 for cards 775 mothers socket.

• Switch from win to linux and upgrade the version

  Hello
  I have 1 TB V8 DB on Windows, I'm planning to level to 10 gr 2 and move it to OEL
  
  What is the best option, switching to linux first or upgrading to 10g first?
  
  I intend to upgrade to 10g first, if I can benefit from the RMAN CONVERT command?
  any advise?
  Thank you

  If you have the space on your source server, what you plan is really an easy way to achieve what you want to do (and DATABASE CONVERT is feasible since the two BONES are small boutien).
  Import/export could also be a solution, but may take longer and requires you to create the target database...

• Why can I switch from Win Vista Home Premium (64) to Win 7 Home Premium (64)?

  I went through all directions and I still stop during the verification of compatibility of the system. Sometimes never really part of the installation. I checked just like other posts in case of a problem, and I can't understand what is wrong.

  Thanks for all the help and suggestions Hula Baloo...  I'll try one at a time. Worst case scenario would be that I have back up all my files and programs and try for a complete install rather than an upgrade... it'll be more work on my part but I have heard it will be a better and cleaner installation... ah... nothing is easy right?

  Thanks again!

• Need to switch from Win to Mac

  I have tried for more than two weeks get adobe to move my license of CS3 for Windows to CS3 Mac. I waited on the phone for over an hour, then later for more than two hours until my battery died for the customer service area to answer.  And I sent several web applications.

  Customer service told me to contact the Sales Department; Sale told me to contact Customer Support.

  At one point, I really thought that someone had read my request because they told me to fill out a letter of Destruction - I did, but demand died in place shortly after.

  I then introduced a new application (for someone to check on the original ticket demand) because wouldn't respond to the original (I assumed it was just lost in limbo - it happens).

  The customer service representative then sent me a letter saying contact sales and it had closed the query, because it has been resolved.  I guess it was about to reach their threshold of level of service and to maintain "good numbers".

  I searched the web and I know that the Adobe customer service seems to be ranked at the bottom, but for any help or suggestion would be appreciated. I could use a mailing address or an email to Shantanu Narayen (CEO) or John Warnock (co-Chair) if anyone has it.  It's really to a point that it would be easier to get a license, illegal only in an attempt to preserve a legal copy, which is really saying something.  Please write me to [email protected].

  Please read this:

  Send your problem to: [email protected]

  Not sure, Adobe really cares about its customers, but you can always try! Good luck!

• can I switch from 32-bit win vista home prem 64-bit win vista home prem?

  can I switch from 32-bit win vista home prem 64-bit win vista home prem?

  Yes, you can, but you need to back up and do a custom installation. There is no place on the way to upgrade from Windows Vista 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Installation and relocation of Windows Vista
  Back up your files - Microsoft Corporation: software, Smartphones...

  Boot from the Windows Vista DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows Vista click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• How to use the license acquired from Win 7 cd to be used on my WinXP?

  Windows XP License Activation

  I have a copy of Windows XP on my PC where I tried registering online, he says that's not authentic. I bought a copy of Win7 with downgrade rights to Windows XP Pro. How to use the license acquired from Win 7 cd to be used on my WinXP? I could not afford a complete reinstallation because several drivers needed to work on my pc do not work with Win7.

  Thank you!

  Hello Emerson_1

  Microsoft does not sell Windows 7 with a downgrade to Windows XP and a valid key. You will need to provide your own key. This option is only available with OEM Windows 7 Professional systems. If you wish to continue using XP you will need 2 keys as indicated by JW.
  Windows 7 offers XP mode and you can use it if you have chosen.

• My laptop has been updated from win 7 to win 10 a few months ago.

  I had to replace the hard drive by another which also had win 7 on it. Can I still switch to win 10? I only changed the drive hard nothing else.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  Since you have replaced your hard drive, you will be not able to custom install or clean install Windows 10 on it without a product key.

  If you have a version installed and activated Windows 7 on your PC, you may have installed all the updates and upgrade to Windows 10 using the free update.

  For more information, see:
