  • Upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade (64-bit) - option student... is this doable?

    My University Bookstore offers Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade 32/64 - bit (English) (Student Option) - download

    at a reduced price, but the description says:

    Use this table to determine if you should make a bet to level or custom (clean) installation.

    Question is - why do I need a "custom installation" and not an upgrade? I am a bit confused by this description and hope someone can help me to clarify. I'd like to be able to do an upgrade so that I don't have to fuss with all the files I have and avoid the relocation of all my backup software. Thanks for any idea that anyone can provide.

    If I do the custom Setup, please indicate on the measures to be taken. Thanks again.

    To do as it says, the on-screen instructions are clear, and you should ALWAYS back up the data before making any major changes.

    Note that an upgrade installation or custom are considered a MAJOR change... :-)

  • Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade will allow an upgrade from Vista Home Premium x 64 to Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

    I bought a HP laptop with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 64 in April 08.  If I buy a Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade, SKU: GLC-00184, I'll be able to upgrade to windows 7 Home Premium x 64 or Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

    The http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7?T1=tab02 table seems to indicate that would be the case.  On the other hand, it does not seem logical that we could move from Vista Ultimate or vVsta HP to Win7 Ultimate for the same price.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Yes, you can make a place in Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate.

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Code GFC symbolizes the product depending on the location in most cases and in some cases, this has to do with the versions.

    The GFC-00019 is a commercial container 32 and 64-bit disk operating system version. TheGFC-00564 is a 32 bit OEM version. A commercial version can be installed on any computer. But always alone at the same time. But if you install on a computer (and then he got damaged without repair possible) and then I bought another you can install it on the new computer.

    An OEM copy can only be installed on computers. If this computer got far beyond repair that you can not use it again as with the retail version. You can install the OEM as many times as you like on the original computer.

  • Is to install a Windows 7 ultimate x 64 in a X 64 based processor will give me at least a performance gain little/bigger with my 2 GB ram?

    I have a Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit OS in my 2.60 GHz x 64 based Dual Core PC with 2 GB of RAM DDR2...
    If I have the courage to install a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit in my PC with the PC of such specs. x 64 base processor of two hearts... I would gain at least a small performance gain? .. .for what I know... x 64 OS make better/more quickly and efficiently than 32 bit os... with processor intel my x 64, it is theoretically possible? even with 2 GB of Ram only? :/

    64-bit is a little faster IF you have more than the minimum amout of ram. 64 bit min is 2 GB and 64-bit uses more resources than 32-bit.

    I doubt you will see any gain and might even see a loss.  If you can not buy pass more ram, this isn't worth it.

  • How to recover my product key of windows 8, I installed the windows 10 techniques view without taking backup I need to go back to my windows 8 pls someone help

    How to recover my product key of windows 8, I installed the windows 10 techniques view without taking backup I need to go back to my windows 8 pls someone help

    Hi Carmen,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    I understand that you had not taken any prior backup upgrade to Windows 10 Technical Preview and need product key to retrieve Windows 8.

    So, first of all, I suggest you to check the product key in email messages when you purchased the license to the product for Windows 8. Once you get the product key, you can create a Windows 8 ISO and reinstall using this product key. See the following article:

    To create installation media Windows 8.1

    However, if you had bought the system pre-installed with Windows 8. Then, you may need to contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) system for Windows 8 discs to restore the older operating system.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know the results for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • Photosmart C4580 installed on Windows 7 Ultimate and it won't work!

    Software installed on Windows 7 Ultimate and I can do everything except printing! When I ask for an example, I see a blank page and the printer does not print. All downloaded from the HP site and I'm tired of installing the update (CPE_SLP_NETWORKMSI_hpcom_000_006) because I don't think it's the solution because I tried several times and now I installed a version of Windows for the fourth time and I won't do it again. Can someone please help?

    With the help of HP customer care, I solved the problem! Problem is that the new installation of Microsoft was not correct. I never formatted the disk before the installation of new, and that was the problem. Thanks for the support!

  • Trouble installing the guest operating system

    All,

    Having trouble installing the guest operating system - Windows XP SP3. I followed the directions of the booklet that I try to boot from a local image and a CD. I can't able to get into the setup of the BIOS to start the virtual machine when you press F8. I am currently on a decentralized network that starts his BONES from a PXE server. When I turn on my VM, its shows the boot process than my actual desktop. I tried many configurations, but still problems. All instight would be useful. Thank you.

    Welcome to the forums!

    To enter the VMWare guest BIOS press F2, no F8.

    You can also add 'bios. BootDelay = 10000 "in the prompt .vmx file. This gives you more time to press F2.

    The virtual guest has a CD-ROM attached to it?

    Is it "connect to turn on?

    Is it connected to the physical machine (where the OS CD is inserted)?

  • Cannot install the Windows Fax Service

    I used to have a FAX in Control Panel > printers and Faxes screen, but I no longer. I went to control panel > Add/Remove programs/add Windows components and some Fax Services. The installation process starts and a Fax icon appears on the screen with my other printers. Until the installation finished, however, this fax icon disappears.

    I check start > all programs > Accessories > communications > Fax but the menu drop-down should be, he's not here, and the box says just (blank).

    I recently installed a new Canon printer that has the ability to "Fax From a Computer" that allows me to send faxes directly from a document using the modem in the PC. I think the only action of the Canon printer is made that a fax has been sent.

    After I installed the Canon printer I got a Canon Fax icon both Windows Fax icon, but I had a problem of phone and none of them worked. I have fixed the problem of telephony and the works of Canon Fax function in the computer, but I get the problem described above, when you try to install the Windows Fax.

    Is there something that prevents the addition of a second Windows fax service?

    How to go beyond this issue and allow multi-touch Fax from Windows?

    We consider that you have Windows XP with service pack 3 installed some variety.  If this is not correct, explain what version of Windows you have.

    What was the 'problem of telephony' and what did you do to fix?

    Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK) and make sure that each of the following is running and has shown startup type

    Fax (auto start)
    Print spooler (Autostart)
    Telephony (manual start)
