  • After saving the emails from windows live mail, why not open them on my computer as the file extension is wlmail.fol?

    After saving the emails from windows live mail, why not open them on my computer as the file extension is wlmail.fol?

    wlmail.fol is a tiny text giving the name of the folder. The exported messages will have filenames like 00D13E83 - 000025DF.eml. If you don't see all of the files like this, your export probably did not work properly.

    For a successful export, follow these directions:

    1. Set Windows Live Mail to work offline before starting.
    2. Create a temporary folder on your desktop * to contain the exported messages.
    3. In the Export Wizard, select the temporary folder, and then select all the folders.* *
    4. When it is complete, check that the number of files in each folder to the temporary folder is one more than the number of messages in the corresponding folder of WLMail.
    5. Copy the temporary file to its final destination.
      If you use a reader not NTFS to do this, you will see a warning that certain file properties will not be copied files. This can be ignored.

    * Windows Live Mail do not work with files that are not on a local drive, as opposed to an external or network drive. This is avoided by using the office as a temporary folder location. 
    * If you want to export the files sampled only, select each of them containing messages. Subfolders are not automatically selected by default.

  • The upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional on a Netbook

    I recently bought a Dell Mini 1012 and I think to upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional. I have the code key for Windows 7 Professional from MSDNAA or something like that. My question is, if I upgrade Windows 7 Starter to professional, I should install the new drivers for the netbook or those already installed for Starter would work with professional? I would use Windows Anytime Upgrade.

    Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Starter share the same driver model because its the same code base, so you shouldn't have to get new drivers.

    If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version upgrading or complete (MSDNAA License are), you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional. Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, follow the on-screen Wizard, enter the key to Windows 7 Professional on demand, click on, and then restart your computer when you are prompted. Less than 10 minutes, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and your files and settings retained.

    Hello

    What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
    Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
    Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
    Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

    My laptop with W7pro was debited with the message "getting setup files" now at 18hrs.  Is there a download method alternative other than the offer of upgrade/updates?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    Alternatively, you can upgrade your current PC to Windows 10 by going to the Windows 10 software download page to download the tool of creation of media. The media authoring tool can be used to create a USB or DVD media to upgrade your current PC to Windows 10 or install Windows 10 on another PC.

    Follow the instructions on the download page of Windows 10 software: http://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10

    Note:

    When upgrading to Windows 10 using media, you must run setup.exe from in your version of Windows 7 or Windows 8 and authentic. If you want to boot from media, you must have upgraded to Windows 10 previously. Boot 10 Windows media directly without upgrading to Windows 10 previously is not supported and will have problems with activation.

  • The upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 Pro after the hard drive took a dive.

    Hello, I have an old Dell Inspiron E1505, I bought in 2006, which I have upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 Pro last an online purchase that came with a product key of designertechsoftware.com in April of 2014. Months later, the hard drive has so I replace w / a 60 GB one and replaced the RAM w / 2-1 GB cards. I don't have a disc of Windows 7 Pro but I got it work using the old XP dics, originally, it came with. Can I use this disc to enter the product key code that I got online for Windows 7? I see there is an upgrade option that comes up when I run the XP disk once it's been installed on my laptop. Thanks in advance for your help in my question. Not sure if it has been already answered the previous question.

    Your best option is to ask a backup copy or to borrow the corresponding edition, you have a license from a friend. Ensure that it is a upgrade disk or any retail version is authentic.

  • 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.
