Upgrade path to 260 MB computer operating systrem

Please advise on a way to upgrade an operating system to Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4 5.00.2195) computer.
It is only used to run an old HP printer on a home network, sometimes checking e-mail and occasionally Internet sites. It seems to be fine, except that he is too old for the Norton anti virus. He has only 260 MB of RAM. I don't want to install an operating system, it can support. Should I leave it alone, or y at - it a minimum upgrade of the operating system?

RAM is not that expensive, you can / could get ram used from craigs List.com

In any case, 260 is too small for xp, 512 MB or more is recommended.

In addition, xp can still be done to http://www.spartantechnologies.com

  • Impossible to reinstall XP, error «...» Windows is not a supported upgrade path"

    Computer is 2001 Sony Vaio apparently infected Office who knows what, if I want to do a clean install of the operating system. The computer came with Windows ME and a drive to upgrade to XP. 5 years, a technician thought he was doing me a favor and installed without my knowledge its own XP Pro.

    I tried to do an installation of my upgrade XP disc but I get this message: Setup is impossible to pass your current installation of Windows XP. Your current Windows installation is not a supported upgrade path. Setup cannot continue.

    I also tried to use the Sony system recovery CD, but it does not work.

    Help!

    Hi IAMSOBZ,

    As you install the operating system from a CD to upgrade it you will be asked for support of qualification, you can insert your Windows Millennium Edition or any CD which is an edition less than Windows XP Professional.

    Important: You will need to have a CD of Windows 98/Me/2000 eligible to insert if you are using a version update of XP to clean install. OEM restore disks will not usually fill the eligibility standard. If the restore disc i386 folder, it will work normally.

    a. start your computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM. To do this, insert the Windows XP CD into your CD or DVD and then reboot your computer.

     

    Note: To boot from the Windows XP CD, your computer BIOS settings must be configured to do this.

    b. When you see the message "Press any key to boot from CD", press any key to start the computer from the Windows XP CD.

    c. once the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to start Windows XP Setup.

    d. read the Microsoft software license agreement and press F8.

    e. Setup will scan for previous Windows installations

    f. you will need to replace the CD of XP with your qualifying CD; XP Setup will scan the qualifying CD and ask you to replace it with the XP CD to continue installing XP.

    g. complete the installation

  • 13.2.2 to 14.5.0 TMS upgrade path

    Hello

    I'm looking to make an upgrade to TMS 13.2.2 we currently have running on an old box of Windows 2003 R2.

    We are looking to set up a new server using 2012 R2 as the operating system.

    The environment:

    Windows 2003 R2

    SQL Express 2005 w/DB hosted locally

    13.2.2 TMS

    TMSXE (on another server) 3.0.2

    The methodology of Migration:

    Migrate the existing database to a SQL server hosted and test all the features

    If it is successful then

    • Remove the old server from domain/network
    • Rename the new server the same as
    • Install the TMS 14.3.0 on the new connection to the existing database server, hosted on the external SQL Server
    • Run the time zone update tool that comes in 14.3.0
    • Update the 14.3.0 existing install 14.5.0

    This methodology seems as if it was the right way to go? There are fundamental flaws, that I don't see here?

    I did this upgrade path in the laboratory successfully using a copy of our existing database, I have no alternative endpoints or vcs-control etc. to connect to the lab to prove everything works after upgrade.

    I look forward to your responses.

    Thank you

    Alex

    Hello Alex.

    You should consider upgrading to TMS 14.6, which is the most recent version.  14.6 TMS notes.

    TMS 14.5 supports only Windows Server 2012, not 2012 R2, but 14.6 done TMS.  Also, if you are not already the case, consider using SQL Server 2012 or 2008 R2 64 bit, to be compatible with future versions of TMS.

    The steps that you listed sounds good, just check on that TMS installation guides for supported versions of WIndows and SQL details, as well as all the required components.

  • IDRAC6 upgrade path

    I am temporarily caring for a Dell PowerEdge T610 purchased in 2012.  Our outsourced IT Department walked me through some maintenance tasks, including required launches a Virtual Console through iDRAC6. Apparently my iDRAC6 version (V1.80) is so old, no modern browser it supports fully. What I have for the most part works with Chrome and FireFox, not IE (but it's OK - I don't work with IE either).

    I am trying to determine if a firmware upgrade path exists for my hardware, and if so, what are the steps. None of my research on the Dell Web site have meaningful results. Since my system is no longer under warranty I don't get a lot of help by telephone, and "cat" is denied for me as well.

    If anyone can point me to a good place to get started which would be a great help.  Thank you!

    Hello.

    See the upgrade below. First apply the BIOS, then the respective DRAC6 firmware.

    6.2.3 BIOS iDRAC6 v1.92                   

    BIOS 6.3.0 iDRAC6 v1.95                  

    BIOS 6.4.0 iDRAC6 v1.97, iDRAC6 v1.99 , and iDRAC6 v2.8.0                  

    The path of update will prevent iDRAC communication and other server issues.

  • C / SX / EX / MX upgrade paths

    Hello

    I have been the scene of c20 upgrades via the GUI and CPC, 4.x > 5.1.1 > > 7.3.2 7.1.1 hopping. 3rd party support told me that this is the way to upgrade the C20s.

    I struggled to find any documentation to confirm this upgrade path to 7.3.2. I'm about to proceed to the upgrade C40s and 60 with SX / EX / models MX.

    I'm looking for the validation of the document confirm how best to spend to 7.3.2 on all of the above models.

    I looked at the release notes do not seem to talk about any version of jump requirement.

    Thank you

    B

    You can go directly to the current version of the TC software without having to jump several releases to get there.  You'll just need to get the keys to unlocking the Cisco Licensing Portal TC7.x and apply it on the codecs, before doing the upgrade.  Applying the unlock key invites you to restart, you can disregard and go directly to download TC as the upgrade to restart anyway endpoint and apply the release key at the same time.

    Note, it is important that you read well ALL the TC release notes for the current version, you have up to TC7.  There are several versions where changes have been made that could be important to you.  Some of these changes are:

    • TC5.x - required serial connection is by default enabled (important only if you use control 3rd party such as Crestron or AMX systems)
    • TC6.x - layouts have changed, especially when using two screens with presentation and selfview.
    • TC7.x - Root access has been removed (I noticed that mention you SCP that requires root access), also instantaneous behavior has changed over the previous day.

    Hi all

    Can upgrade you form vCD 5.5 directly to vCD8.0 or are you to go first to 5.6.4?  I can't find anything in the notes version or installation & Upgrade guide.

    Dave

    OK - I answered my own question with the Matrices of the interoperability of VMware products.  I don't know if the "Upgrade Path" option is new, but I don't remember having seen it before.  In any case, the vCD 8.0 upgrade is supported from version 5.5.4 and 5.6.4.
