  Hello

  What is the ideal way to update Windows? now, Windows downloads the selected updates. where? I do not know! and after their installation, it removes the packages for installation on my computer. This causes the downloaded updates are lost, and I can't use them to similar machines that need to install the same updates. for these machines, I have to download updates again! This causes my internet to be charged again while it is not really necessary.

  the ideal way, in my view, is that I can specify a folder for the Windows Update service. It can use a default folder for that also. After selecting the updates, I want to install in my system, it checks to see if the update is already existing in the folder. only if NOT it downloads. then after downloading it maintains the package in the same folder after installing. installation should be done automatically as it is done now. Then I can move the folder to another machine. in the second machine, I also choose the update I want to be installed which are mostly the same as the first machine. for example, Windows Update only consumes my internet traffic for updates that are not yet downloaded. I wonder why Windows Update doesn't currently work the same way?

  by this method, I can at least use the consumption of traffic and I can access the latest updates with the easier and faster way. I I would like to choose a memory flash for this purpose and keep the folder inside.

  is there a way to achieve this?

• HARD drive replacement and keep the Windows license

  I recently bought a laptop computer HP, used, which comes with Windows 8.

  It is out of warranty.

  Microsoft says that I can not use the serial key associated with settling on a facility "retail."

  So, I can't just write the serial key and install from a USB key.

  Is there a way I can buy a new HARD drive and use the license provided with the laptop?

  Edit: Forgot to mention the reader will fail to the review of the short DST and Windows slows to an analysis minutes after starting.

  Thank you very much for the help. This seems to be what I wanted.

• Put the new upgrade of Windows 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)

  Original title: Windows 10

  You want to install (upgrade) new Windows 7 Pro 64) Windows 10.  No problem.

  Here's my question and need help.  I want to put the upgrade of Windows new 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)  Just got new PC and the SSD is not yet installed in the new machine.

  Is there a way to do this?  I can install the SSD drive in the pc without problems.  But the pc is set up with the C: drive in the primary.  As I understand it, the update will work, but it will not be for the SSD.

  Suggestions?  Is this possible?

  Windows 7 installation will have to be eliminated if its currently on a separate disk. Which means you have to start over.

  I would first disconnect the hard drive with your Windows 7 installation.

  Install the SSD drive, then install Windows Pro 10 on this subject.

  Download and create a bootable copy of Windows 10 Pro:

• Reimage Windows 7 to new SSD - and restore the Professional upgrade

  I want to spend my Windows 7 64 - bit of a hard disk of 1 TB to a new 128 GB SSD. I would like to do a clean install of the SSD. I thought I could use the backup, but apparently he wants to restore the entire disk, and there is not enough space on the SSD.  I have a set of discs of recovery of HP, but here's the problem: a couple of years, I've improved the Home Premium to professional. I did it online and it worked well, but for the life of me I can't find a confirmation email, or license key. Is it possible to generate a key of the existing facility, so I can update the new image?

  Thank you!

  Hello
  Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.
   
  By design, the game is not compatible with windows7.
   
  You can also check with the manufacturer of game for any version upgrade of this game, which could be compatible with windows7.

  Yes, if you have the dual operating system on your computer, you can play and record games on xp, start the computer in Xp and you can play the game.

  I also invite you to visit this link to learn more about running the old programs/games in xp or vista compatibility mode.

• Acer R7 - 571 level disk cache to large SSD to the boot drive and keep the traditional HARD drive.

  Is it possible to replace the drive 24 GB of cache in the R7-571 with a larger SSD (say 128 GB and 256Go) to use as the startup disk and keep the traditional disc for storage on the other?

  I saw the references to individuals 'redevelopment' of SSD, but normally they keep the 24GB disk cache and upgrade their traditional 500 GB drive?
  If it is possible to replace the disk cache of 24GO, it seems silly to keep it and throw a perfectly good car. Seems would not be much point in having the disk cache if your main player is an SSD.

  Yes, I put a 128 GB Plextor M5M in my mSATA port. Make sure that you first create a USB recovery, then open the R7 and replace 24GO with your new mSATA disk drive.

  Make sure that your new mSATA, not ordinary SATA SSD!

  You can see a R7 being open and where everything is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLWdiLxLoyI

• I bought a "Windows Vista SP1 Upgrade disc" Wal-Mart and on the accident. I thought it was a full version, but turned out to be upgraded. How can I install this drive to upgrade on my computer if I do not already have an existing operating system?

  I bought a "Windows Vista SP1 Upgrade disc" Wal-Mart and on the accident. I thought it was a full version, but turned out to be upgraded. How can I install this drive to upgrade on my computer if I do not already have an existing operating system?

  You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.

  Take it back to Wal-Mart and see if you can exchange it.

• Install windows 7 on SSD and keeping it legal?

  The 750 GB HARD drive on my laptop is completely died on me last night. I have a key true windows 7 on my laptop.

  I did not create a recovery disk, but I met an OEM System Builder Windows 7 disc. I just install windows 7 on my new SSD and use the same key on the bottom of my laptop with no problems? I want to make sure that it is legal and it won't bounce as duplicate a product key.

  BTW, the laptop is a lenovo z570 if that makes a difference.

  Usually, it is quick and easy thanks to the automatic line and no need to talk with a real person. If it doesn't go to a real person, I've had them ever question me at all. Explain the situation and they give me an activation code.

  But, it should activate automatically if this is the first time that you have reinstalled.

• The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program

  I try to use the Microsoft Office tool that implement an MSI for 64-bit Office 2010 installation file.  The tool works file and creates the msi file.  I get to the tool by going to the x 64-bit folder on the office 2010 installation disc.

  I install a new virtual machine from Windows 7 and tried to use the MSI file to install office 2010 and I get the error:

  "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program"

  If I just click Setup on the office 2010 dvd he moved very well on the same VM window7.

  Does anyone have an idea how do to understand why the windows installer keep fails or what he wants?

  If I click on the msi even on a system with office 2007 is installed, I get the same error.

• Is anyway to create fifth partition and keep the basic hard disk?

  Hi, my laptop is g7 1207se Pavilion and the and HP has made 4 partitions (C for windows) and the other 3 for system files and recovery, I want to create a new partition for my files (so I can recover my system without losing them) or install other operating systems, but apparently if I want to create fifth partition I have to convert my hard drive in Dynamics by the practice that I won't be able to boot from any partition but the C, which means no recovery and no other operating system.

  Is anyway to create fifth partition and keep the basic hard disk?
