Switching from XP to Windows & Professional 32 bit of disk to reinstall Dell computer Dell laptop, no

I bought what I thought, it was a professional Windows 7 operating system from a supplier online. I got a Dell reinstallation DVD for Windows 7 Professional SP1 32 - Bit, in a sealed envelop Dell P/N 04DTND, complete with the Microsoft COA sticker on this issue with a product key. Can I use this disc to upgrade my Dell laptop no XP to Windows 7?

No, sorry, but its OEM version and the product key is for Dell computers only. It can run for a short period, but will then "Non-genuine". Also, the device drivers does not match what you need for your PC.

  • No sound from HP - 8560p, windows 7 64 bit elitebook docking station

    I was issued a laptop Elitebook 8560p for use with a 90 W HP Docking station at work.  When the laptop is plugged into the docking station, the port ' audio out ' of the docking station does not work.  The sound continues to come out of the computer laptop speakers, or, if I plug the headphones into the headphone for laptop, it comes out of the helmet.  Plug the headphones into the Docking Station does not all the sounds (either of the two audio ports - in or out).  When the laptop is plugged into the docking station, no additional reading device does appear in the audio menu - just an output HDMI AMD (disabled) and speakers (activated).

    The speakers/headphones on the laptop works fine, the problem is just that the docking station is in no way "replica" or the audio output support and it's as if the port of the enclosure of the dock just weren't there.  So, I could use my headset by plugging directly to the laptop, but this really seems to defeat the whole concept of a docking station.  All other ports (video, usb) seem to work on the docking station.

    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit.

    I reinstalled the sound driver (for laptop) so that the laptop was plugged into the dock.  That did the trick.

  • "Import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery" option is missing from AutoPlay in Windows 7 64 bit

    I saw this question and answer:

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7files/thread/5c567ab1-208D-400D-9bce-0598d43a0574

    but I think I have a more serious problem. In Windows 7 RC, when I plugged in my camera or insert a memory card, I could choose "import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery", but in my new installation of Windows 7 RTM, on which I have installed Windows Live Photo Gallery, there is no "Import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery" option allotted me in the list of Control Panel AutoPlay or on the AutoPlay pop-up that appears when I plug in a camera.

    How can I get that back? Without this option, I have to go through the manual steps tedious to execute WLPG and manually choose to import from there and say what is my camera. It was much better under Vista and Win7RC when I had the simple auto play option.

    My PC is running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but I also installed WLPG on two new computers Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit my parents, and they have exactly the same problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a solution?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    Hello bitoclass,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

    The Windows Live Photo Gallery import Option is not available from the AutoPlay on x 64 systems. Try the underside of work around to see this option.

  • Can satellite M40x-183 - I switch from XP to Windows 7?

    Is it possible to switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40X-183?

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can do everything, but you know how old your laptop is? In my opinion Windows 7 isn't the first choice for good old classic. It of designed for Windows XP and you should be satisfied with this OS.

    In my opinion, Windows XP is the best choice for old books, that they are not designed for Windows 7.

  • Satellite L - cannot boot from disc of Windows 7 32 bit

    I inserted the cd and restart the computer, but the installation does not start.

    The computer is running windows 7 64 bit I want to change to 32 bit

    Hello

    You can boot from another drive? Maybe that Windows 7 is noisy and so it can t be read correctly.
    Check this box!

    If you want to downgrade from 64 bit to 32 bit you do a fresh install. This means that you need to clean your current Windows partition so backup all files first!

  • Looking for a USB Compact Flash I, II compatible with 7 Player window Professional 64-bit

    I'm looking for a USB Compact Flash I, II compatible Windows 7 Professional 64-bit player.  No idea where I could find one?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any USB device according to the current specifications will work.

    Sometimes there are bugs minor firmware. Much more often, there is something wrong with the host system USB drivers.

    You will find little or nothing about the Compatibility Center because most of these devices are generic devices with just a practical applied brand name. Makes them is unknown, unless you are in the trade and the manufacturer may change anyway if the owner of the brand chooses a different provider.

  • Remote Desktop on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit does not connect to my computer Windows XP VPN

    I recently updated from windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit.  According to the same installation instructions, that I used on XP to connect to my computer to work through VPN & remote desktop is no longer working.  I can connect to the VPN connection without no problem, but when I use remote desktop to connect to the computer, it does not work.  I get the message:

    Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer to one of the following reasons:

    (1) remote access to the server is not enabled

    (2) the remote computer is disabled

    (3) the remote computer is not available on the network

    Make sure that the remote computer is on and connected to the network, and remote access is enabled.

    Items 1-3 are all very well, so it must be another problem.  I also checked windows firewall remote desktop is allowed on the exceptions list.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I fixed, which was ultimately quite simple.  I changed the 3 settings, 1 - uncheck the TCP/IP v6 2 - in the options of the remote desktop, ADVANCED tab, I changed the server authentication for: connect and don't warn me.  3 - below, to connect from anywhere, settings...  I chose: do not use a remote desktop gateway server. \
    I checked the TCP/IP v6 and everything still works.
    Hope that helps someone.

    Hello

    Yes; you would have to buy 7.

    There is no free upgrade to Windows 7.

    There was a special offer to do that a few years back; but this offer has expired for a long time.

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • Windows XP 64 bit will run on a Dell Optiplex 780 SFF or Optiplex 980 SFF?

    I intend to buy a Dell Optiplex 780 SFF or a Dell Optiplex 980 SFF, but I would like to know which one will work with Windows XP 64-bit.

    For Windows XP 64 Bit its better to use the somewhat hidden (old ftp site):

    http://FTP.Dell.com/Browse_For_Drivers/desktops/OptiPlex/OptiPlex%20790/

    http://FTP.Dell.com/Browse_For_Drivers/desktops/OptiPlex/OptiPlex%20980/

    This has the old drivers listed in multiple versions, including XP x 64 drivers not mentioned on drivers and downloads. The new ftp site is currently slightly broken.
