The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

Thank you!

You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

A clean installation will wipe everything.

You cannot transfer programs.

It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.

If you do not have the desktop drive:

  • How can I make sure that changes in a primary key (in the parent table) would also appear directly in the FOREIGN KEY in the child table?

    Forgive my question. I am very new to Oracle.

    How can I make sure that changes in the key primary supplier_id (concerning the supplier table) would also appear directly in the FOREIGN KEY (supplier_id) in the products table?

    Is that not all the primary key and FOREIGN KEY on?

    My paintings:

    I created 2 tables and connect to apply in the data base referential integrity, as I learned.

    CREATE TABLE - parent provider

    (the numeric (10) of supplier_id not null,)

    supplier_name varchar2 (50) not null,

    Contact_Name varchar2 (50).

    CONSTRAINT supplier_pk PRIMARY KEY (supplier_id)

    );

    CREATE TABLE - child products

    (the numeric (10) of product_id not null,)

    supplier_id numeric (10) not null,

    CONSTRAINT fk_supplier

    FOREIGN KEY (supplier_id)

    REFERENCES beg (supplier_id)

    );

    I inserted the following text:

    INSERT INTO provider

    (supplier_id, supplier_name, contact_name)

    VALUES

    (5000, 'Apple', 'first name');

    I expect that the supplier_id (5000) to the provider of the table also appears in the products table under key supplier_id having the same value which is 5000. But this does not happen.

    How to get there?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    What is a foreign key in Oracle?

    A foreign key is a way to ensure referential integrity in your Oracle database. A foreign key means that the values of a table must appear also in another table.

    Ok!??

    What is now the right way to implement referential integrity in your Oracle database that the values of a table must also be included in another table?

    A foreign key referential integrity indeed enfore in ensuring that the value in the child table must have a corresponding parent key (otherwise you will encounter an error, as evidenced by "SomeoneElse"). However, it will never automatically insert a row in the other table.

    If you are looking for a solution that automatically inserts a record in the other table, maybe you should go for triggers:

  • How can I make sure that my music on my Ipod Classic is not lost forever, if it breaks down?

    How can I make sure that my library of music on my Ipod Classic is not lost forever, if it breaks down?

    Back it up.

    Your music library should never exist only on your iPod.  It must be present on a computer in iTunes, and to be sure it must be saved on an external drive also.

    If your library no longer exists on your computer for whatever, reason, you need to extract the iPod.

    How can I make sure that any firewalls (versions of software or hardware) does not block port 443 to access?

    Hi Anna_753,

    Usually, you would receive messages from any program if it is impossible to access the port.

    If you want to check if the port is accessible, then you will need to check the firewall settings.

    Each firewall has its own parameters for ports of the computer.

  • I have trouble deleting a project to create Clip... keep it coming back (sync).  How can I make sure that it is void of all devices and permanently?

    I have trouble deleting a project to create Clip... keep it coming back (sync).  How can I make sure that it is void of all devices and permanently?  So much space being taken up on my iPad... there at - it a why to manage what are sync'd projects and ignore others?

    Hi Bill,

    Sorry, you have trouble. Here's a suggestion:

    1. launch Premiere Clip on a device and make sure it is not open on other devices.

    2. on the device, as it is opened, remove projects that are no longer needed.

    3. allow the synchronization of the application (leave opens and is not the bottom) so that projects are marked as being deleted on the service. A circle of rotation icon appears in the lower left corner of your device while synchronization is in progress.

    4. Uninstalling the app on other devices, then re - install and login to leave remaining projects sync.

    Please let us know if this solves your problem, or if you need more help.

    Thank you

  • How can I make sure that all components in my opinion have been instantiated to test

    I'm testing a view 'view', which has an ADG but the ADG is null.

    Try this code:

    view.adg.dataProvider = data;

    How can I make sure that all components in my opinion have been instantiated to test?

    private var view: UserManagement;
    [Front]
    public void Setup (): void
    {

    view = new UserManagement;

    }

    [Test]
    public function testSaveData (): void
    {
    var data: collection ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
    for (var i: int = 0; i < 1000; i ++)
    {
    var item: Object = new Object;
    element.isModifiedClientSide = Math.round (Math.random () * 1);
    data.addItem (element);

    }
    view.adg.dataProvider = data;

    }

    You have instantiated your view.  Usually, when I'm working with a view, mine looks like this

    private var myView:MyViewClass;

    [Before(async,ui)]
    

    public void Setup (): void

    {

    Bird = new MyViewClass();

    Async.proceedOnEvent (this, opinion, FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, 500);

    UIImpersonator.addChild (bird);

    Bird = null;

    }

    Installing just the Premiere Pro on my laptop, I found that reading the timeline main window does not play the video in its correct resolution.

  • How can I make sure that my photos are not replicated to infinity?

    I have pictures 1.0.1 installed on a Macbook Pro retina end 2013 running OS X v10.10.5

    I recently found a challenge with my pictures on Mac synchronization with my iPhone 6 reading here, but now I'm stumped.

    I'm at my library of Photos for the first time in a while and I find that I have extra copies of many images. 5 to 8 options many images.  Looking at, a large part of the Meta data is different, which can be partially, at least, due to an incident of erasure and disk recovery that I lived in 2014.

    Looking through these tips, I learned what a vs a managed library referenced and determined I have a managed. I saw where, because of this, deleting photos in Photos should remove the file from the original disc.  This doesn't seem to be the case.

    If my photo library file and my photo files are located on an external drive, rather than the default file structure the startup disk?

    It seems that eliminating extra, superfluous, copies of photos in a library of 20,000 + image could save me disk space, but going through the library, then by all records to research the Extras won't be effective.

    I would like to know that the removal of a photograph of the photo library will eliminate this photo from my HARD drive.  How can I ensure this?

    Any ideas on that?

    Is it possible that you have more than one library of Photos?

    Let's say I photo library 'A' and the first library I have ever created. I then turn on iCloud library ensure those sync up to my iCloud account.

    If I have more than one library of Photos, and I called photo library 'B' as system photo library, it will turn off the iCloud Photo library feature.

    If I go to turn on iCloud photo after photo library 'B' new photo system library, images already synced up my iCloud account of photo library 'A' will merge with the 'B' photo library and may be what is happening here.
