Transfer to the new operating system
I am running Windows Vista on my laptop and one morning it would not load. He would get to the Welcome screen, and then it would just sit there and spin. So a friend of mine uploaded Windows 7. Now, I need to know if I can locate and transfer my files and stuff from vista to 7? I also need to know the process step by step, as some of this kind of thing just baffles me. Thank you.
The term 'downloaded Windows 7"immediately alarm sounds, there is no downloadable license to Windows 7 If you need to make sure that installed is legal, because it could lock at any time.
The next problem is that it install Windows 7 on. If it were the original mainly hard drive Windows 7 install can I erased everything off the hard drive.
Looking for disc system for a Windows.old directory. The installer of Windows 7 may have moved the content from the previous Windows installation in this directory. When you open it I hope you will find a subdirectory users and there should be one for your old system user name. Which will contain old Documents, music and pictures folders and content can be transferred to the new folders in library work.
Programs that were installed on the old Vista would need to be reinstalled from the original to the new Windows 7 system support, they cannot be copied.

Info on the device
T-Mobile 9700
V5.0.0.586
So as others waited until what tmobile had an official release for the new OS, I used before the stock 5.0 OS. I did not read about the new operating system and mines unwisely update. My problem is that the left upper button convience asks for a password when I lock it, from what I read the only way to block it and password prompt on unlock is ALT + ENTER.
I was wondering if someone had resolutions, I love my 9700 and this problem upsets me just, I just don't see me lock the phone with alt + enter. I have even try and downgrade the OS, if someone could tell me how.
Thank you guys.
Everything I read is that blackberry has released the password locking and his return do not, if you open the Desktop Manager and have the phone hung, if you press the button update, in that you having the option it downgrade to the old operating system that you are running, at least I did on mine

Currently have v.8 CS Photoshop and Lightroom 2 v.2.4. In order just to work with the new operating system, please inform for updating both.
Hi R0w1% 40nd,
Adobe Photoshop CS v.8 and Lightroom 2 v.2.4. are very old software and the operating system you are using is the most recent, so there may be compatibility issues that adobe has not tested these applications on newer operating systems.
The installer for Adobe Photoshop CS v.8 and Lightroom 2 v.2.4. are no longer available.

Hey there,
I think to get the Premiere Pro, which requires that the new Mac operating system. But I installed the other Adobe programs such as Photoshop, Indesign etc years ago. These work on my current operating system (= Mac OS X 10.8.5).) Anyway, now I wonder if my programs already installed Adobe might work after the installation of the new operating system.
Any ideas what to do?
Thank you very much.
Yes, they will work in the new OS.

had to install the new operating system and bookmarks are gone
Hiya. I had problems with the computer and the fix was to install a new operating system (windows 7 it was old, windows 8 is the new). Most of my old files make the switch, but when I downloaded firefox, my favorites have disappeared. I looked in my profile in the menu, but it's the profile that I created today by downloading firefox. Where can I find my old profile? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Billy
Was this an upgrade of type "on the spot" where your user folder
C:\Users\youroldusername\
was intact, or did you end up with a new user folder? In the case of a new user folder, you will find a folder named
C:\Windows.old\Users\youroldusername\
If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:
First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files
Then click in:
Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\
Note: there is a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.
Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably one you want to restore.
This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect these data in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.
https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/1024189#answer-638319
A little luck?
Note that if you really ONLY want to bookmark, copy the last two backups of the old bookmarkbackups folder to a location such as the desktop, see the following article (you will use 'Choose file' in the menu to access these backups): restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Note that this process will replace all new bookmarks that you may have saved since installing Firefox again. If you need to preserve those, first use the export feature: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks.

I upgraded my computer, adding a second hard disk for a new operating system and kept the old drive as a data disc. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new disk and import my favorites from the old installation of Mozilla on the old disk. I can't find the files on the old drive with my favorites. They're still here, or when I reinstalled Firefox, I lost everything even if it was on another drive? I can't find the backup on the old disk files and want to restore my old favorites. Is it possible to do this?
You must find your profile folder in the old drive, the way in which must be:
- First display the hidden files and folders:
- Then go to:
- < old drive >: \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles \Users\ < username >
- Enter in your profile, and then enter the folder bookmarkbackups .
- Copy the latest file from json (backup of bookmarks)
- Then restore from them:
- First display the hidden files and folders:

synchronization of bookmarks on the new operating system
Computer work migrated to a new operating system (XP to W7), I created an account to sync to save bookmarks and versions etc. the installation. How can I get my info on the computer? I tried "Pair the device", but this is the same computer, and the option does not work.
Hello vanaya2002, firefox sync was not primarily as a backup service, but to keep multiple devices on the same plane.
in order to access the data in your sync account, you would need three elements: user name, the password and the recovery key that is generated when the original configuration of the account.
where you have all these three pieces of information, you can go to firefox > options > synchronization > sync Setup > I have an account > I don't have the camera with me to link firefox to your existing account.
