• 500 - 81ea: create recovery media after upgrade to windows 10

  I created a USB recovery when I used my PC (using the 8.1 window)

  I had a time to use it to perform a destructive restore but then had to wait for all the upgrades automatically install to get me back to where I was and of course all my other software such as iTunes and music, photos, etc.  Checking to see if I can upgrade to windows 10 I was informed that my windows was not up to date and that I didn't know the logo windows at the bottom right of the screen. I have now been in the screen of windows update and installed quite a few updates and now have the upgrade of windows application.  My question is if I upgrade to windows 10 and then must perform a full recovery can I do new media of recovery or I'll have to go back to windows 8.1 using my existing media and then updateHP software and windows 8.1 and upgrade to windows 10 and the free update will be always available or is there a way I can create new media recovery to allow me to recover Windows 10 OR an altrnative goes back to the creation of a backup drive on an external hard drive and a way to get this image on my HDD internal. OR to simply stick with windows 8.1 and hope, that it is taken in charge as long as XP was.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP

  Hello

  First things first. Don't forget that your USB stick recovery is the HP external recovery media and not just another type of recovery image. Back up your data. Check that your PC is supported by HP for Windows 10 and that your PC meets the requirements of Windows 10. If so, then be sure your Windows 8.1 system is fully patched and up-to-date with Windows and HP implemented to date.  When you make an in place upgrade W10, W10 process will have a roll back feature that will be available in case you are not happy with the W10.  I made a couple of back roller and the process was pretty quick.

• Can you perform a destructive restore using a disc to upgrade to windows 7 when you run windows xp pro?

  Hello! I want to perform a destructive restore, but I lost my WIindows XP pro installation CD. At the same time, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and I was wondering if I can just buy a Windows 7 upgrade disk and took the opportunity to do a full restore, I want to erase everything from my computer and put everything to factory settings, as if she was completely new.

  What do you mean exactly by "destructive recovery? I take from your post, it means that you want to format the system drive and perform a new installation of Windows 7. In other words, start with a clean hard drive.

  If this is correct, then YES; Indeed, during the upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 there is no actual "upgrade path" as the upgrade requires a custom (clean) installation of Windows 7.

  Before the upgrade, if you haven't already done so, it is highly recommended to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to make sure that your computer is capable of running Windows 7. Windows 7 was designed to use the latest technology and equipment and many older machines are not able to run the new operating system.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  You should also visit the windows Compatibility Center 7 to determine if all of the devices (printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and the programs on your computer are compatible with Windows 7. For printers and other devices, you will need the name of the manufacturer and exact model number.

  Windows 7 Compatibility Center
   http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  The upgrade to Windows 7 will also require that you will find and install the Windows 7 drivers (32-bit or 64-bit based on what you are upgrading to) for all you hardware and devices. This includes the BIOS (if any), the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN, mouse and keyboard, printers, scanners, cameras, etc. In the case of printers, scanners and devices, you also need the software associated with your version of Windows 7 in addition to new drivers.

  Creation of new drivers is the manufacturer of the device; in other words the computer manufacturer or the manufacturer of material or actual device. If your computer is a great brand (Dell, HP, etc) visit of the machine to support the site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific computer model. In the case of printers and others, visit the support from their manufacturer, still looking for new Windows 7 drivers for your specific camera model. Google is your friend.

   http://maketecheasier.com/upgrade-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7/2009/08/26

  Before you begin the upgrade process, you must back up all your files and data, including pictures, movies, music, contact lists and anything else that you do not want to lose; Yet once, this upgrade requires the disk formatted as either hard erase everything on the drive. Ideally, this backup should be on external media such as an external hard drive or a (of a sufficient diameter) flash drive.

• My laptop camera image on the upside after the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

  I have a laptop Asus G50Vt - X 1, which is a 64-bit computer. It had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit installed on it and the unit worked properly with him. I ran the update of Windows 7 Advisory on this matter and he said I could upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. After the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit the images from the camera are all upside. I contacted Asus about the problem and they sent me the drivers updated, but the images are still upside down. Pourrait Windows 7 cause this problem as I know that it worked fine under Vista?

  I also noticed that my dvd/cd player and external hard drives don't stop the execution after that I have quit an application. When this happens, I can't eject the cd or remove the drive from the computer.

• Can I restore the backup Windows XP on a new computer with Windows 7 COA and upgrade to Windows 7?

  Original title: upgrade question.

  I currently have a PC running XP in a system with an IDE drive. The system has many applications that the company has moved the installation discs, so I need to move the contents of the entire disk to a new system. I was about to do the following:
   
  System backup with a recovery boot disk, in this case a USB.
   
  Restore the entire operating system to a new system that will have a SATA drive in it. The new system will have a COST for Windows 7.
   
  Start the XP and upgrade to Windows 7.
   
  My question is, will it work or the absence of the COA of XP on the new system will prevent me to install?
   
  Any help would be appreciated.
   
  Thank you
   
  The f

  Short answer, "no, this will not work."

  It is unclear what you mean by 'backup' and 'restore', but it seems that if you are referring to the creation of a disk image or a clone of disk on an external drive and then either restore the image or cloning to the new computer.  Assuming that both of these computers was provided with Windows pre-installed, this process will almost certainly result in a facility that cannot be 'activated '.  In addition, unless the software you use has something like Acronis Universal Restore, restore the image from your old computer to a player in a new computer with a different hardware simply will not work.

  In addition, the lack of an XP license is not the issue.  There are several problems with the process you describe, but basically, an "upgrade" from XP to Win 7 requires a "custom installation" which means that applications should be re-installed.

• Upgrade of Windows software

  I have a HP Pavillion G6-2006ax with Windows 7 64 bit. As you may know, Windows 8 will be released soon and I want to upgrade to Windows 7. My question is, how can I keep the software pre-installed on my PC (for example you cam, PowerDVD etc) when I switch to Windows 8?

  Hello

  From my reading, Windows 8 allows you to select upgrade or install clean. It will keep existing compatible programs for you.

  I hope this helps.

• Some files lost during the upgrade to Windows 7

  Some important files and folders hidden under the folder windows (globalization) on my hard drive. Backup of my hard drive on a remote and then put drive to upgrade to windows 7.

  None can find several files in the same location on the computer and can also find them on the back - up drive.

  Any ideas anyone - desperate

  Hello

  ·        You said in your application that you have upgraded your system to Windows 7, did you perform a custom (clean) installation or install an upgrade?

  If all your folders and files are missing, this indicates that you have selected the custom option that completely replaces the previous version of windows.

  All of your personal files must be stored in a folder called Windows.old, if you did a custom (clean) installation without formatting the hard drive. You can retrieve all personal files in this folder.

  I suggest you return the item mentioned below.

• 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!

  (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?

   

  Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

  (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?

   

  Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.

  (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.

   

  Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.

   

   

  These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

  · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

  Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  (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?
   
  As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.
  Thank you very much!

• 2000-2b09WM HP: 10 Windows upgrade/Windows 8 recovery partition questions

  I tried the upgrade of Windows 10 twice with this laptop.
  
  1st attempt:
  
  He tried to upload D:Recovery partition, failed upgrade, fortunately I did a restore of Windows 8 USB, including the entire recovery drive, until I ran the upgrade, after several steps and issues, I restored to 8.
  
  2nd attempt:
  
  Again, he tried to download and install in the D: partition and failed, second recovery has been a bit more difficult than the first.
  
  My question is, deleting the recovery partition completely before running the upgrade would solve this and if so, would the recovery Windows 8 USB still suffice to recover in case of failure even after the recovery partition by removing completely?
  
  If the update is successful, I would be able to do a restore of Windows 10 USB then recreate a recovery partition, and then transfer the USB recovery to that partition?
  
  I am doing this for someone else who is not technically competent, if it was me I would do this differently (that's if I would never actually own this little thing).
  
  My goal here is to get upgrades, then do as close to 100% some I can that they can not only recover but they don't have to worry about keeping track of a recovery DVD or USB media if all else fails and can recover everything keeping the valid product key without them ever having to buy , find, use or type a product key.

  I delete the recovery partition and try the upgrade. On the issue of work after the removal of the partition which may depend on what type of USB recovery that you created. There's no Windows 8 version - which I've never used and do not know if it works without the partition. There are > HP recovery media- who works with / with out even on a new hard drive and the partition.

  Windows 10 also has an option to create a recovery usb disk but I don't think that it will transfer to a recovery partition - at least not a bootable. Windows 10 has the ability to reset this PC that uses files stored on the hard drive.

  You must also consider if the hard drive has failed it would take the recovery/reset partition with it until you have an installer of stand-alone-usb or dvd is always a good choice to install on a replacement hard drive.

  Of course, many use use imagery to take a complete snapshot of the Windows installation to easily restore either original or new hard drive. The imagery is also covered by the link above.

• 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

• If the upgrade to windows 7, it will be able to read data discs my xp?

  If the upgrade to windows 7, it will be able to read data discs my xp? l have data recorded on cd and on Word, and then transferred to cd/disc, to save. My XP PC can read the disc on reinstalling Microsoft Works, which has the word inside program. Windows 7 will be able to read these discs of data?

  Hi steve,.

  Just to make sure I understand, you have the Word documents on them with backup discs and wondering if they will be recognised by Windows 7.
  If this is the case, then you should not have to worry. Windows 7 will read the disc properly. However, as with XP, you will need to install the correct program that you would use to open files.
  In other words, if they are Word documents, then you will need to have MS Word installed or installed works for viewing.
  Hope this helps and let me know if you need more information.
