Updated Windows - you can do a typical upgrade using an installation disc that's different from the language...

Hello, I'm Michael.

I'm a guy who lives in Hong Kong, I bought a laptop that comes with Chinese traditional x 64 Windows 7 Home Preium. I want to use this laptop as a computer professional. Because I don't want to use Chinese as my default language in my computer, so I'm going to upgrade my computer I have subscribed the TechNet, so I downloaded an iso file from the Microsoft TechNet Web site. I downloaded an English x 64 to windows 7 Ultimate. I hope it would work, but an error message is skipped during the upgrade. It is said: you can do an upgrade using an installation disc that's different from the language installed on your computer. Go online to see how to install Windows 7 and keep your files and settings.
I tried to press the hyperlink (go online) and it does not at all. I have to ask this question to the Microsoft Answers and see if if anyone can give come me advice because I do not want to click on the custom button because there are some files saved in my computer. So I need answers as soon as possible because I could die without a PC! Thanks for all those who read this and you time.

No direct path to the evolution of the Chinese language to English. But you can upgrade your version of Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate (upgrade Express). Ultimate has support for English and a number of other languages.

Most likely the best option and the most popular will be the Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, which includes Windows XP Mode. The extra $50.00 for Windows 7 Ultimate will only give you two additional features, bitlocker (for security) and the ability to switch between any of 35 languages.

    When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works. Have reinstalled icloud a lot of time and know that the add-in does not show up in OUTLOOK.  Help

    I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016.  I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.

    The steps that worked for me:

    (1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed

    (2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair

    (3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions

    (4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])

    (5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)

    (6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing

    (7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com

    I hope it works for you!

    However, I was going to dnld MS antivirus with Norton market too.
    I couldn't find info on one might or might not run another
    antivirus program during execution of the Member States. (as a general rule, you can't)

    Still, it would be interesting to know about this issue. And... Should be

    for example.
    Thank you in advance, Ric.

    Hello Ric Buckmiller,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    What specific Windows Vista virus protection software are you talking about?  Windows Vista will be usually comes with Windows Defender.  Windows Defender is software that helps protect your computer against the pop-ups, slow performance and threats caused by the software security spyware and other unwanted software to detect and remove spyware on your computer. Windows Defender Protection features in real time, a monitoring system that recommends actions against spyware when it's detected, minimizes interruptions, and helps you to remain productive.  Yes you can use it with antivirus software.

    Currently, Microsoft has an antivirus software on beta.  http://www.Microsoft.com/security_essentials/support.aspx
    If you have this downloaded, it advised that you can always use another software antivirus at this time.

    Or you are referring to Windows LiveOneCare?  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

    How to uninstall any other antivirus or firewall program?

    Before installing Windows Live OneCare, please make sure that you uninstall completely any existing antivirus or firewall program that may be on your computer.

    This step is very important, no matter what protection software you use, because installing one antivirus or firewall program over another on the same computer could potentially lock up the computer.

    Note: If you do want to keep the ability to reinstall your old antivirus or a firewall program in the future, make sure you have the original product CD (or a backup program disk) before you begin uninstalling.
