• How to uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery disk?

  By mistake, I installed Windows 7 on the recovery disk. I have only windows 7 installed on my Dell Inspiron. However, it is now a multi-boot, as Windows 7 is stored on the operating system and the recovery drive. How delete/uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery drive (more free space on it is exhausted). I already tried to 'Format' and 'Remove the Volume' in the disk management page, but the options are grayed out and I can't access it.

  It's probably that you managed to install on the Dell recovery disk victory because it would be too small.

  Open the recovery partition in Explorer to view the files.

  Use msconfig to remove incorrect boot entry

• Impossible to uninstall Windows SteadyState or the opening of session "another user"...

  Hello, I recently tried Windows SteadyState to keep my PC to get banged by my nephew and my brother not so savvy in computer and download _ not knowing the source or if it has malware attached. in any case it was too complicated for me to understand, itself tried to uninstall it, it is not in the programs; used Revo Uninstaller, even deleted the files of the register... but it's ALWAYS THERE! I also tried to remove additional users added to the logon screen, to no avail... Any ideas?

  I am happy that we managed to get rid of these two files.  I installed SteadyState just to see what would happen and I also have another user on my login screen if it is not listed in the user accounts and so it cannot be deleted anyway, I know.  As long as it requires a name and a password (so not just anyone can get in), then I would probably just that it is--that's what I'll do (at least for now).  It is causing no harm and is secure.  You are probably right that SteadyState doesn't has not been uninstalled completely - perhaps reinstall it and uninstallling this new will do the trick.

  Alternatively, you can try posting in the SteadyState Forum: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowssteadystate/threads to see if they have any ideas or suggestions.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  auntsands50,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  I need to get the details on your situation.  You say that you want to uninstall XP?  It will be the only way to install another operating system or use a program that will allow you to erase the hard drive.  You mention that you got a virus and you tried to do a restore.

  So my question is what are you trying finally to accomplish?  Do you want to just get a virus on your system or you want to wipe the drive and reinstall XP.

  If you want to remove a virus, then here is a link to a program free antivirus that you can use to help clean your system: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/

  If you want to restore your system to factory default then you will need to boot from your XP cd or use the OEM solutions provided with your PC.  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316941 Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Question: How do I uninstall Windows XP Professional in an old laptop and do a fresh install on another computer? __

  Background: I have a legitimate copy of Windows XP Professional (license) currently installed on two computers, a desktop computer and a laptop.  I want to uninstall Windows XP from the laptop and use my privilege to a right to install this OS on a second computer.  How do I uninstall and install on a second computer, download the new Microsoft/computer to recognize that I have a copy only installed on 2 machines?

  It's interesting. As far as I know, you can only install system builder OEM licenses on a single machine, not two. You must have a volume for more than one license key and I think that minimum volume licenses is 5. But of course the right people to ask are people of Microsoft licenses.

  You should probably check with them to see what license you really. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Original title: uninstall of win 8

  I have uninstall windows 8

  Hello

  Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  According to the description, it looks like you have problems to uninstall Windows 8.

  I need to ask you some questions to help you better.

  1. Why do you want to uninstall Windows 8?

  2. is it an upgrade or a new installation?

  If you have a Windows.old folder to the root of the drive where Windows 8 has been installed, you can try to uninstall Windows 8 using this folder. See follow-up items for instructions. They reference Windows 7, but the same principles apply when you use Windows 8:

  How to uninstall Windows by using the Windows.old folder:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971760

  If there is no Windows.old folder there then it means you did a clean install.

  If you have critical data on the disk, try to manually back up to an external hard drive using copy and paste.

  Answer to us if you are having problems with Windows 8 or any other issue of Windows, and I'd be happy to help you.

  Good day!

  Hope this information helps.

• HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p199: need help with the installation and activation of 10 Windows after completely uninstalling Windows

  Hello HP assistants.

  I need help for a specific problem. My laptop came with an installation of Windows 8.1. Then I upgraded to 10 Windows when it became available. After a while, I decided to uninstall Windows completely (to wipe the hard drive) and install a Linux operating system.

  Now, I decided that I want to use some software that is not available on Linux and if I want to reinstall Windows 10. My problem is that Windows has completely disappeared in a form any. So now, I need to download Windows 10 from an official source (which I think can be done fairly easily from the official source of Microsoft, although if there is a better, HP official medium to do this then please recommend it) and then I need to activate Windows some how.

  As has been made clear, I have the right to use Windows 8.1 and 10 but I would need to download Windows 10 and turn it on. Is there a way to do this? I'm literally stuck without solution.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  As long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation as described in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

  Windows XP is an operating system, Windows Live is a bunch of application programs; It is not an operating system and you can not run it * instead * of XP.

  So if you run Windows Live, it is running * under * Windeows XP operating system. You can't get XP back because he has not disappeared.

  You say that you have uninstalled Windows Live, but it doesn't sound like you did. Please tell us exactly how you did.
