  Hey, Barouk,.

  Yes, the upgrade to Windows 7 or a later version will preserve your personal files (documents, music, pictures, videos, downloads, Favorites, contacts, etc., applications (IE.) Microsoft Office, Adobe applications etc), games and settings (ie. passwords, dictionary, the application settings).

  I hope that helps.do reply back for other queries, would be happy to help you.

• What are the causes of data loss during an update?

  Just what are really the causes of data loss or corruption when you update. Most sites will tell you to back up what I'm doing, but none of them actually appoint a cause to save.

  -Thanks in advance

  Minor updates in an OSX * may * break the file system.  Fully upgrades to other OSX replaces almost all file systems.

  Some backup of people even before you install some software packages, because they know how this package changes directories OSX.

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.

• I got this after my laptop 'stuck' and I had to restart everyting = "Basic error of data that can be updated windows found 0 x 80070490"

  My laptop 'stuck' and windows wouldn't load, I had to restart everything (I'm not a technophobe!), on the fact that he told me that I needed to update back to 8.1.

  However, I could not do this as he told me that I had to update windows 8 first of all - but update will not work.

  What do I do on Earth?

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/958044/en-us

  Windows Update, error 0 x 80070490

  Step 1: Use SFC system to repair damaged Windows files use System File Checker to repair damaged Windows files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt.
  2. Run the command "sfc/scannow".
  3. Try installing the update again.

  For more information about the System File Checker tool, see using the tool File Checker system to repair missing or corrupted system files

  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833)

  . Step 2: Run the DISM tool if the problem persists, use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to fix corrupt Windows Update errors. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt.
  2. Run the command "DISM.exe Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth".
     Important When you run this command, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are necessary to fix corruptions. However, if your Windows Update client is already broken, use a Windows install running as the source of the repair, or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or removable media, such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files. To do this, run the following command instead:
     DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth / Source: C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess

     Note Replace the placeholder C:\RepairSource\Windows by the location of your source of repair. For more information about using the DISM tool to repair Windows, refer to a windows repair Image

• Update Windows download updated to 0%

  64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium on a laptop Dell Studio XPS16; also have MS Office 2007 Enterprise; Note that the laptop came with Windows Vista 64 bit and I made the Dell Windows 7 64 bit upgrade using disks provided by Dell.  I guess these are OEM operating systems and I don't know if I have the ability to repair the Installation.  I suppose that if I do not have this utility, I have to buy the operating system again in a retail version, huh?

  Everything has been perfect so far.

  Windows Update seems to have stopped working properly on ~4/16/2010 after installation (according to the timestamp) simultaneous KB979309 and KB978601 indicating a successful installation.

  Windows Update detects now correctly that KB979863 and KB981332 remain to be installed.  Download had hung at 0% for 36 hours for these two programs when I decided to try to stop Windows Update with admin privs and copied "windows/software distribution/downloads" at downloads.old and then deleted the contents of the original file 'download '.  By this set of tasks, Services is entered into a 'Stop' for Windows Update state when asked, but never "Stopped" completely.  No errors have been encountered by copying the "downloads" folder in a new folder and then delete the contents of the original.  I then rebooted.  This looks similar to the Nice instructions in another thread.

  Windows Update is now auto-run (Delayed) in Services, but the process is now stuck at 5% for the two updates remaining to be installed.  I also downloaded the two files and tried to use the stand-alone Installer, but I encounter an error of "looking for installed updates to update... "that seems to never find what he seeks.

  I also tried restoring to a point before that one of these stupid things and, although it seems that restoration is to copy critical files according to the instructions of the screen, the result is that the restore fails despite having tried a few different Restore Points.

  Any help with explicit instructions such as those generally provided by PA Bear would be greatly appreciated.  I met a very similar to what 32-bit Vista error resulted in wholesale data loss that I did not repair the Installation on this OEM system either.  Well, I hope I can avoid that in this case.

  Thanks to all those who can help you.

  Comments: I've been running MSE since the first beta, and I installed it on several of my customers computers when he was released last September. As part of the installation process, MSE presents you with a command prompt (warning) to uninstall your current antivirus application or a security suite before installing MSE.

  With respect, I understand your frustration today but since you apparently ignored (or don't pay any attention to) this prompt, you have to assume at least part of the responsibility here. McAfee Security Center and MSE both installed, there's a very good chance that none of them worked properly.

  My recommendation (since you asked): Support MS may have other ideas (and you are certainly welcome to their search if & when you still hear support once), but here's how I would solve your problem:

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows 7. In my humble OPINION, a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix!

  HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
       http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates and before installing your new antivirus application (for example, MSE).

  Norton Removal Tool
       FTP://ftp.Symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  McAfee Consumer product removal tool
       http://download.McAfee.com/Products/Licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

  You can also contact Dell technical support for assistance with the clean install. And you will find in the appropriate Forum of community Dell Dell and peer-to-peer support: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/default.aspx

  Good luck!

  Thank you

  Hi fpduarte,

  (1) if it works well before?

  (2) remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  (3) what is the complete error message you receive?

  Method 1: Run the Windows Update troubleshooting tool and check if that makes a difference

  Open the Windows Update troubleshooting tool

   

  Method 2: Run the fixit available in the link below
  Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

  Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of data loss from that particular area.

  Method 3: Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

  Just a question, I got the windows 8 but never updated to 8.1 front. Because the condition for the upgrade to 10 must have 7 or 8.1 and I need to update 8.1 before moving to 10, I asked if I want to update to 8.1 can I directly use the iso file to improve and maintain the 8 product key and update at 10.

  I know that the normal procedure is to windows 8, the 8.1 update file using windows and it will update itself, but I lazy to do since the internet speed is slow. Your response is much appreciated.

  Thank you for your update on the issue. I apologize for any misunderstanding.

  The article indicated in my previous post contains all the information on how to upgrade to Windows 8.1 with or without data loss. Another way is to create an installation media for Windows 8.1. To learn more about this, I suggest you refer to the following article:

  In fact, the window just jumped upward once again, as I was typing this message.

• Satellite P10-304 - update Windows 7 problem

  I have a Satellite P10 304 to 2003 which has Windows XP, but I need to update for obvious reasons. I bought a copy of Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed without any installation problem, however I can't update Windows.

  I reinstalled, deleted the hard drive and reinstalled again. Tried the stop and start the Windows Update utility.
  Downloaded the stand-alone Windows Update.

  Updated the BIOS to V2.0 and downloaded the Toshiba Service Station application (who says no update is necessary).
  All this without success.

  My hopes were raised when I saw that the Station Service for Windows 7 32 bit software was available for the P10 304 but I am now at a loss.

  Anyone know if this laptop can be upgraded to Windows 7 and how to get updates of work?

  Help is welcome.

  Peter

  I'm sure that installation of Windows 7 update problems are not specific to Toshiba problems even if you use the Toshiba laptop.

  From my point of few, you should check the Microsoft support pages to find the solution.
  For example this:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=Windows-7

  Just a tip: I had some problems in the past to install updates because of the antirust software. He locked the installation of some essential updates and after you disable temporal, updates could be installed...
  Missing Service Packs might concern the single installation of patches.
