• Free Windows 7 Upgrade Clean install questions

  Hi, I have recently buy a Mini 5101 it comes with XP Pro and Vista Business... I currently have Vista Business installed on it. I wonder about the process of upgrading to windows 7. On the free upgrade Web site it is said that the operating system can be upgraded to windows 7, according to the weather, I have vista (upgrade straigh) or xp (must be a stable cleaning). Now, my question is can I perform a clean installation with this upgrade? I know that normally you can perform a clean install via the insertion of the disc of the previous operating system media during installation, but as the Min 5101 is a netbook (no cd drive) I will probably install it via a USB key. It is very important for me to have a clean install.

  On the upgrade Web site, it says that if you are using XP pro, you must perform a clean installation. It would be better for me to install XP now order the update, and then install Vista so that I can get the version that will allow me to perform a clean installation - or I'd get the same disc anyway?

  I know the installation disc doesn't have not yet been outside and not so should know the process entirely. Kind of hope that someone will have knowledge on this subject.

  The installation media will allow you to perform a clean installation 'upgrade' using product key of the current operating system during installation. This allows him to check that you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows.

• ProBook 450 G1: Question of Probook of video playback in G1 of the 450 after upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello.

  Issues (stop, shaking in the video and sound) are multiply video playback after upgrade Windows 8.1 for Windows 10.

  Questions for:

  -Playback (avi, mkv, mp4 etc.) VMP Movies & TV AND;

  -Playback of video from Youtube by Edge and IE11;

  -Video playback in games.

  NO problem all does to (workaround):

  -Reading of files (avi, mkv, mp4 etc) by VLC player.

  -Video playback from Youtube through Firefox.

  Not any way to workaround that emit in the games: its integrated use of resources of the browser.

  VLC uses own video codecs, so I think that this emission source is possibly in embedded Windows 10 codecs?

  Drivers:

  Intel SoftPaq Download Manager Video drivers (latest for Windows 10: technical support site the same as at HP).

  AMD drivers for Widnows 10 SoftPaq Download Manager (the same that at HP supports the site) is buggy and causes crash (the "internal power error"). If Catalyst drivers from AMD (latest from Windows 10) site.

  Additional drivers, also upgraded for Windows 10 (via the SDM for Windows-10): chipset keeps drivers, WiFi, 3D etc.

  Any ideas?

  Problem has been resolved by unistalling HD Audio drivers (installed on Windows 8.1 early HP).

  After the reboot, the drivers HD Audio was automatically installed and then updated via Windows Update.

  Video playback is now correct through no fault inside any software (IE, edge, WMP etc.).

• Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
  Thank you very much!

• Question for the Vista Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7?

  After you run the Upgrade Advisor, I like Windows mail is compatible with Windows 7. How can I save my emails filed so I don't lose them when I do the upgrade? Thamks

  Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. That being said...

  Your Windows Mail data will be preserved when you switch to Win7.

  Unlike Vista and Windows XP, Win7 does NOT have any default mail client. However, you can install Windows Live Mail (free) or another e-mail Client (e.g. MS Outlook, which is not free) and then import data from Windows Mail stored in your new email Client.

  You can find more help in this specific Win7 forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads

  You will find public support for Windows Live Mail in this discussion group: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

  I have a compaq presario desktop bought at walmart

  I found the answer... the online HP chat support person told me that my pc both hardware and software have been bundles with windows 7, she then told me that she could sell me a new pc, a pc of the series P6100z with 320 GB hd and 2 GB of memory and a lot of things for a hugh discount It would include the windows 7 update. She said that the new pc sells for 299-499, but that she would give me a discount and sell it to me for 269.99... in any case, I ran the windows 7 upgrade advisor and it said that my computer can be upgraded to windows 7 32 bit home premium or ultimate. everything was fine... I should have know it was just the HP just lying to scare someone and sell another computer...

• Details of Windows 7 - upgrade to Windows 10 question?

  Separated from this thread.

  -snip-

  Something else to note. Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are eligible for a free upgrade for Windows 10 in May / June. That is why its pointless to upgrade a Windows 7 system to Windows 8.1 (2 for 1 license Windows 10 licenses) or use Windows 8.1 for only 3 months. If you have a qualifying system XP or Vista for the system requirements for Windows 8.1 64 bit license is better on that. It will satisfy those who pass through the upgrade only...

  Have this Windows 7 Ultimate detail here, a gift 74 x shrinkwrapped earlier.

  Suppose that must be installed first to get a license of Windows 10. He takes Microsoft server will check which version / key has been activated.

  -

  Have this Windows 7 Ultimate retail here 74 x shrinkwrapped... Suppose that must be installed first to get a license of Windows 10

  Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (or Windows 8.1, but not Windows 8) must be installed on the computer to receive a free upgrade for Windows 10.

  Free upgrade offer is valid for 1 year after the release of Windows 10.

• Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 question

  I bought a 8 upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate E winodws upgrade disc and when I run the Setup from the disk, it gives me the error message;

  You cannot install an intermediate version on an no intermediate version with the installer.
  
  How can I fix?

  This has not worked for me either.

  Well, you'll just have to do a custom installation. It will take you to reinstall hardware drivers and applications.

  Boot from the DVD Windows 8
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• One last question... The upgrade of Windows 7 will be a step forward or backward?

  An upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium really ultimately will make a very positive difference & great overall performance and use daily versus continuing to run Vista Home Premium on HP's newer models equipped with AMD Turion or Athlon processors such as the laptop DV2000 or m8200n Office?

  Personally, I like Windows 7 to Windows Vista, based on performance. The systems I use with Windows 7 to work faster now compared to performance with Vista.

  He could not make a huge difference or big, but you will feel a positive difference.

• I started with a sec_error_unknown_issuer and now have a sec_error_bad_signature after the upgrade to Windows 10.

  I upgraded to Windows of Windows 8.1 10 last night. I tried to connect to facebook, a few hours ago and find that I can't. The error is, "this connection is untrusted", with "this site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox didn't connect safely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate."

  I scoured the help forums and have learned that it is because I have active parental control and trying to access accounts on an account of "the child". One of them suggested is to disable parental control. This is not an option. I absolutely must have Family Safety for my laptop.

  This thread is very useful: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1075301. I did the first answer Philipp suggested, "Trust this CA to identify web sites", and I confirmed this change.

  Now, whenever I try to access Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Youtube, etc, I get this:
  An error occurred during a connection to www.yahoo.com. The peer certificate has an invalid signature. (Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)

     The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
     Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
  

  I ran out of ideas. I went back to the thread useful and tried the next thing, philipp suggested: go to the Web page, "https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2965142" and then clicking on the link "known issues for Mozilla Firefox users. The problem with this, is that the instructions seem to be written for a device touchscreen enabled; I don't have a touchscreen device, I have a laptop to play with without a touchscreen.

  I know there is a lot of information, but I would really appreciate anyone help in my struggle to be able to access these sites without asking my mother to get on his administrator account when I want to access these Web sites.

  in case you want to use family protection by intention, you need a configuration so that it can function in firefox and install the security certificate for the family that is getting used to intercept connections secure in the confidence of the ms browser store: while in firefox, click on this link - then must display a dialog on the addition of a cert. Please check the trust this CA to identify web sites & confirm the change.

  Alternatively, you can also try the manual procedure described in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2965142 in the section about firefox.

• PayPal buttons no longer work after the upgrade to Windows 10

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 10, but have always set my default browser on Firefox 39.0. Since then, I discovered some really weird things happening.

  It is more disturbing with PayPal buttons. I kept a few Web sites and, even though I made no changes to the PayPal coding, the button does not appear on pages when I view it in Firefox. I can see them in Chrome or MS Edge very well.

  Here is a page of one of the sites in question. : http://projectsister.org/ : this is a site created in WordPress. On the right sidebar, it would take a "Donate" button However, when I view it in Firefox, I see the slogan of PayPal ("PayPal - the safer, easier way to pay online how!")

  Here is another example of a site that was created using Dreamweaver. : http://www.villagekitchenshoppe.com/take_a_break_class.html

  So, as you can see, both of these sites have the same problem and they are not even related.

  Does anyone have this seen yet? Is there a solution I don't know? Any suggestions would be very helpful.

  Thank you!

  Firefox can display the "Alt" text for an image if the image does not load. The alternative text for the Paypal buttons orange is indeed "PayPal - the safer, easier way to pay online how! But why not load these buttons.

  What happens if you try to access it directly? Right click > view Image, or you can try these links:

  https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/BTN/btn_donateCC_LG.gif

  https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/BTN/btn_buynow_LG.gif

  (Note: mine include the language code en_US, which probably varies from one country to the other.)

  Many users Windows 10 have been posted on the problems to access secure sites (HTTPS, addresses). If you get errors certificate, they are on most of the HTTPS sites or just a few?

  Many HTTPS sites problems can be caused by Firefox is not completely set up to work with your security software. Are you not using Avast, ESET, Kaspersky, BitDefender or another program that intercepts your navigation for filtering?

  Problems on a smaller number of sites could be caused by other factors, individual on the site or resulting from content filtering (for example, parental controls).

  I tried all the drivers I could find, but no luck.

  Is there anyone out there with the solution?

  Thanks in advance!

  Just a few questions:
  You have upgraded original Hat version of Vista you have with your laptop or you have installed the clean version of Win7?
  All hardware components are correctly installed and listed in Device Manager?
  How do you test feature mic?
