updated but who want to get windows 7

I recently updated my windows to vista professional.  problem was that the license has already been used and therefore not legitimate.  the trial period is now over, but I want to move legitimately to windows 7.  It will be possible to upgrade my windows vista business to windows 7 without having to buy a vista business license and then buy another license and software for windows 7?

You can buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Professional, and perform an upgrade Installation wthout having to purchase a new license of Vista.

Because you use a copy of the full Windows 7 license, Setup will search not a copy installed Windows with a upgrade for the fact that the Vista Business product key is already in use will not matter.  The fact that you use a full license product key Windows 7 means that the underlying Vista doesn't have to be authentic.

Start the Setup Windows 7 from Vista Desktop Professional rather than from the computer with the dvd and you should be able to perform an upgrade installation.

However, make sure that you run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and use Windows Easy Transfer to save your files and settings before you start.

    I TRIED TO INSTALL AN UPDATE BUT A DIDIN'T GET INSTALLED AND THE ERROR IS CODE 52D?

    Hey alisan, Jean Marc.

    On what update did you get the error code? Check the history of update Windows for the exact number of KB.

    1) click on the Start Menu.
    2) click on all programs.
    (3) when the window opens, click view update history in the upper left corner of the window.

    This gives the full list of recently made updates and also the status of the installation as if the update installed successfully or not.

    If you have not updated, take note of the corresponding article.

    Now visit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx , enter the KB article number and download the update of the same.
    More often than otherwise, it should get installed from the download above.

    Just in case you have trouble to install the same, consider resetting your Windows Update components after which the installation from the source folder.

    Click automated Microsoft Fix it to reset the components automatically.

  • So I have an old Alienware PC running XP 32 bit and I want to get Windows 7.

    So I have an old alienware pc running 32 bit XP and I want to get windows 7.    I was watching the upgrade version, but I'm probably going to be upgrading the mother/cpu/ram card when Ivybridge comes out.  I can do this or do I have the full version of 7?

    I recommend buying a genuine 'Full Retail Version' edition of Windows 7.

  • I am using windows 7 on my computer, but I want to install windows xp too. The version of win7 do not accept this for compatibility reasons. is there a solution?

    I am using windows 7 on my computer, but I want to install windows xp too. The version of win7 do not accept this for compatibility reasons. is there a solution? (it is said that the version of windows 7 is more recent and it is the reason why cannot accept the addition of windows xp aas alternative software)

    Three options.

    (1) start from the XP CD, format the HARD drive, create TWO partitions, install XP on the first then the second 7.

    (2) use virtualisatioin if your machine it handles pretty well. Install Virtual PC or VMWare Server and install XP on a virtual disk.

    (3) (easiest if you have Pro 7, Ultimate or Enterprise) download and install XP Mode

  • New pc but who want to keep Acrobat xi

    I have a new pc but prefer xi Acrobat, I know that I can roll back the download on my old domain controller computer that I did and I continue to ignore updates but can I install xi somehow on my new pc? I don't see anywhere to do this in the window of creative cloud. Any suggestions please?

    If this is not possible would be to buy a stand-alone copy of xi work or would there be a conflict with the license for the rest of my applications? I don't really like DC!

    Personally, I think the last "good" Acrobat UI was A9... but that's just me

    As for your questions.  Can you uninstall AXI in a box and install it on another? Sure.  No problem.

    What happened after installing on both boxes? Once again, sure, as long as you do not both at the same time (license number).

    What about compatibility with my other apps CC?  Shouldn't be too bad, as most of the APIs between Acrobat and the CC apps are separated with the 'link' being via the file type extension calls "MIME", rather than directly to the dll of Acrobat.  But that does not mean that everything will work perfectly.

    Don't forget with AXI back-leveling the PDF library used for creating PDF files in non - CC applications.  Which means that on Windows 10 PDF cannot be as good as it could be.

    Long, short answer.  It will work, but may not be perfect.  Until you are ready (unsupported by Adobe) in this way...

  • P2V conversion but who want to leave the physical Box Live

    We have recently installed a VSphere 4 server in our environment for testing purposes. We wanted to go some of our test servers to a VM platform, then we can switch as required. One of the servers that I have is to be a pain with conversion due to a bad network card. What I want to do is take our 'live' server and run the conversion of a VM but change name of computer, IP info, etc but that let the direct physical server. I know that I need a time out for the live system at some point, but I just want to be sure I'm not missing something or VM adds any information that may cause it to fail. Ideas, thoughts or suggestions?

    For Windows 2003 itself, it's name change, but given the need for a back-end system app would make it harder, IMO.

    Unless you P2V'ed that too, ofc...

    I do nothing on ubiquitous, but the idea of an app duplicated in a BONE duplicated hit a back-end server, would be a no-no for me...

    Sorry, can not help more than that... Good luck...

    Hello
    I use a laptop with vista service pack 2 and I tried to update windows via windows update on the recommendation of the support page from microsoft on how to unload a debugger. There are only three optional updates available, I forgot what they are and after restarting the computer the theme looked like windows 98 and my without wire might work, and also, I was still having problems with the game with the question of the debugger.

    What should I do?

    (And Norton) McAfee applications are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves. The 'remains' of McAfee may be cause of your problem.

    1. download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4 test cycle.

    NB: If the application pre-installed McAfee subscription or free trial period has expired before you install Threatfire, the latter may not have installed correctly and can not work correctly since you installed it.

  • PC has windows 7 preinstalled, upgraded to windows 8 and now want to get windows 7!

    Hello

    When I bought the Dell Insipiron, it had Windows 7 pre-installed. Later, at the launch of windows 8, I went to her. However, I have to work with a lot of programs do not run Windows 8, so I´d as to return to the original installation.

    How can I do this? I don't have the key number, but I don't have an installation cd.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi melmakiano,

    If you have changed the operating system, you will need to use the operating system disc. If you created the recovery disks when you bought the computer (always recommended that you should create them), you use to restore the computer.

  • Deployment options for businesses who want to use Windows RT as remote terminals

    We are considering the purchase of several tablets of RT to serve as remote terminals to desktop PC.

    The tablets do not need to run Windows apps, so RT is all we should need., he must have just VPN access and be able to RDP to Windows desktop computers to run applications remotely.
    Users would use the tablets of RT to work from home in distance by controlling their desktops to office via VPN or use them in the desk in a conference room, connected to a projector for presentations and probably also of the RDP to their desktop to run applications, because we don't want any applications other than RDP and VPN on the shelves.
    Is there a way to deploy locked preconfigured images so they wouldn't need to configure manually whenever we want to wipe and reimage?
    RT tablets can be locked to prevent users from logging in with other accounts of users approved to install apps or change settings?
    Are there options MDM remotely manage and monitor devices you can for iPads?

  • I want to get Windows 7 Solitaire on this machine to Windows 8. Want a card processing. No other choice on the Junk to win 8.

    Windows 7 has a great Solitaire game, choose 1 or 3 card deal, change the back of the card, etc.    Windows 8 had put a lot of games that are without interest and with a 'start' page is terrible.   Suppose that there is no way to use which was good, but stuck with 'new' things - slower and less user friendly.  The loner group has only one version of Klondike, and rigid and not able to be changed.   Bad programming!

    This is not the only choice. There are many game applications. The collection of Microsoft Solitaire is the best, but not s plain solitaire. You can adjust the settings and options in any application using the charm of setting of 8 Win to change the options instead of just the options available in the application itself.

    Solitaire easy to Klondike and the possibility of a single card can be selected-
