T410 OS switching from xp to win7
Hello!
I just bought t410. It is equipped with win xp, but there are also some win7 COA stickers. What is the best way to improve it to win7? There is no cd-s system in the area.
Thanks for your time and patience )
You can either install the taste of 32-bit or 64-bit win 7 OS, then activate it using the serial number only. provided on the sticker of win 7. This is the best way to do (after all it's free).
P.S. before you decide to install Windows 7, make sure that you burn a media recovery set to start-> program-> thinkvantage-> create recovery media. Then select Create product recovery media set.

Can satellite P300 - I switch from 32 to 64-bit Windows?
Hello
Soon I'll receive the CD with Windows 7 and the drivers for my laptop (P300-20 b). I warned for Toshiba Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program. And currently I have Vista 32 bit.
Can I switch to Windows 7 64 bit of Vista 32? And another question, what is the optimal amount of RAM for 64-bit system? Currently I have 3 GB.Thanks for the reply!
Kind regards
Gregory.Hello Gregory
Unfortunately, you can't switch from 32 to 64 bits. If you want to use the 64-bit operating system, you must do any new installation. Install Vista 64-bit using the recovery disc or HARD drive recovery option.
After doing this update install Win7.Optimal RAM? You can use it with current 3 GB, but if possible you can upgrade RAM and more powerful laptop. ;)
Laptop specifications that your PSPCCE can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM. Not bad. -

Kareems, how are you trying to install? Live? Or from iTunes. You can connect your phone to your computer and launch iTunes and have iTunes download and update the phone.

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.

Help! Switching from my PC I have this strange message
Switching from my PC I have this strange message: "this copy of Windows is not activated. In order to hold an appropriate license this copy must be enabled '...
I'm a little dubious as I have had this PC with Windows XP for almost eternity. Don't remember exactly when I first bought. -So far - I've been perfectly happy with it and of course that all this activation of the license would have been made all these years.
Over the years there has been many installs new add on hardware like printer, scan again, new monitor etc... also install dropbox, Skype, I-tune and it still all works OK...
So why do I on my desk this permanent message telling me to activate within 3 days. In fact one day have left the warning that I was missing 2 days already...
Also, the logo of Microsoft isn't one I recognize... It is a stylized Star 5 points... Is - this all true? Can I go ahead and follow the instructions...?
Could someone re sure? If poss before 21:00 UK time tonight Sunday, March 31, 2013.
Thank you all
Hello
Did you buy windows with the computer (ie: you have a Microsoft license on the computer label)
Have you tried to do the online activation?

Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?
Original title: improvement of the operating system.
Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?
Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price. You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.
Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.

Microsoft sells more than Vista.
Microsoft now sells Windows 7.
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.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20
Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:
"Windows 7 system requirements"

I want to get rid of my security Computer Associates software. It overload my system.
I believe that a combination of Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials and Web of Trust would do a good job.
Switching from XP to Windows 7 seems complicated. Is this a good idea?
I would appreciate any advice. I am a former novice
Thank you
Get rid of CA security software and do general maintenance on your system would probably go a long way to improve your computing experience. See help! My computer is slow!
Unless you plan to buy a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed, make sure that your hardware is compatible with Windows 7 (for the most part, this means that Windows 7 drivers are available; problems are more likely to occur with older laptops). Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
