• Satellite L650 - upgrade from Windows 7 Home Professional

  Hello

  I have the Satellite L650 - 15G with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition. Due to some limitations of this OS, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 professional since I am in Dubai, WAU is not available for me. I called Microsoft and they said I have to get through retailers.

  My query is, is it all Toshiba support available in the UNITED Arab Emirates, to upgrade the operating system? Toshiba allow the upgrade through the channel of the where I bought my laptop?

  Microsoft is not good!

  Hello

  As much as I know there no support for Toshiba to upgrade the operating system. Only the preinstalled OS will be supported, and some models are available with different versions of Windows.

  In any case, I think that Microsoft is right and you will need to purchase a Windows 7 upgrade disk. Using this disk, you can start the upgrade. This should be possible without new installation so that all programs and data will not be erased.

• NB550D - upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to professional

  Dear all,

  I recently bought a Toshiba NB550D and must update the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Pro. I tried the (preinstalled) Anytime Upgrade Assistant level, but this does not work. I'm stuck in the wizard because - as he says - "you may need to change the language settings or locale to purchase Windows Anytime Upgrade online". I learned that in order to use anytime upgrade regional settings must be identical to those of the country where your billing address. For me, this country is Switzerland, everything must be in German.

  The problem is, the installation of Windows 7 Starter still uses English as 'Display language' and this cannot be changed after installation. I tried to roll back the installation but there is no other possible choice, it is always English. All other regional and language settings can be changed.

  My questions:
  -Are there a way to force the display of Windows 7 Starter language to German (whether before or after the initial installation)?
  -Are there a way to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro, work around the problem, for example by using a different approach of the wizard at any time to upgrade?
  D ' other suggestions that might help?

  Thank you
  GG

  Hey Buddy,

  It depends of the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter. If Windows 7 Starter has been pre-installed in the English language only an upgrade to an English version of Windows 7 Professional is possible. So that you can t upgrading English to German for example, this is why you have to buy a new version of Windows 7.

  So either you buy a new version of Windows 7 Professional in German, or you upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. The Ultimate version offers MUI (Multilingual User Interface).

  I can upgrade these BONES using WAU Home Premium to Professional 7 Windows, or should I buy Windows 7 professional full and install it?

  Hey mate,

  You can use the Windows Anytime Upgrade program, that s no problem and it makes no difference if you use this tool or a full version of Windows 7 Professional. The result is always the same => an upgrade to Home Premium to professional.

  Theoretically, you can make a completely new installation if you buy a copy of Windows 7 Professional, but I n t see a reason for this. An upgrade also works.

  But the question is: do you need the features they are provided with the professional version?

• 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.

• HP 250 G5 laptop: Re-upgrade a Windows 7 Professional 64 laptop downgraded to Windows Pro 64 10

  I have a laptop HP 250 G5 with Windows 7 64 Professional installed and activated by the manufacturer (as it is possible through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights).

  Key export is available, however, are placed only in the firmware, I guess, for the derivation of Windows 10.

  So, the question is if it is theoretically possible to re - install Windows 10 64 Pro, with only the original rights and the key to virtual product and in which of these ways:

  Clean install of the operating system, pre-installed programs loss;

  Upgrade of the operating system;

  System to dual-boot, in the case.

  Thanks in advance!

  I have been informed by marshals on this forum that Downgrade on a PC Win10 rights are to be exercised at the factory--until the PC is delivered - and is not something that a consumer may exercise after receiving the product.

  But I'm not an expert in this area, and you should probably check with customer service HP at this topic (the details are below).

  Win10 license information has been incorporated into the PC's UEFI firmware when it was built - if it's still there.  But, I was told that it works with the Win10 HP OEM version - which you can NOT download from Microsoft.

  So, if you wanted to go back to Win10, you need to get a HP recovery media to do so.

  What is NOT legal is using the same license for two different versions of the operating system - which is what happens when people move from Win7/8 to Win10 on a PC while retaining the older OS work.

  You said you had right to demotion, then of course, this is the same limitation that you cannot run a HP OEM Win7 OS and and HP OEM Win10 OS on the same PC, using the same license.

  If you purchase your license, you can use this OS in combination with any other OS, without any license issues.

  The windows of origin is always on display as shown above, but I received a free upgrade to Windows XP Professional CD and installed on my computer. And under 'Information system', it shows as - Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3.

  This problem started about 10 days when I used the CD of XP Professional to correct a problem. My computer is a Dell Dimension 5100 and I have two CDs that were sent to me - Dell - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Version 2005 with update Rollup 2.

  Thanks again and I ran the "fix it" you suggested but it have no problem found to fix. Every thing works fine on my system, but Media Center won't play DVD. It will play CDs and videos on my system.

  The initial problem was that I could not download the Blackberry Desktop Software - updates needed. The computer came with Windows XP Media Center Edition Home and I use Internet Explorer 8 as my default browser. I also use Mozilla Firefox as my backup browser.

  Please stick to your thread to avoid confusion of origin: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-have-upgraded-to-windows-xp-professional-and-now/f5245962-e9b4-4415-8aff-bc1d972f8120

  Note that I asked you to MOVE your original thread on the forum of material WinXP, not start a new thread.

  Also note that you don't have NO Windows XP Media Center Edition, installed now if you upgraded to Windows XP Professional.

  PS: If "winver" still says Windows XP Media Center Édition, did you not correctly upgraded & something is not. Better contact the Dell Support on this issue (if they'll still talk to you).

• I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?

  The upgrade to Windows XP Professional edition

  I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?  I want to run the iCloud but need a more recent version to do.  Thank you.

  The first thing to do is to download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor--> http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20

  If your hardware and your applications are compatible with Windows 7 (and there are drivers available for your hardware devices) then you can buy a copy of Windows 7 and install it.  You will have to do what Microsoft calls a "custom installation" which is a facility clean Windows 7 in force and which is to format your hard drive.

  Thus, you must first save all your data (files, documents, music, photos, etc.) on another medium (the best is an external hard drive), and then import this into the computer after the installation of Windows 7.  Microsoft is a tool for this called Windows Easy Transfer, but you can use any method you like.

  Also, you must reinstall all of your applications from their original installation media.  If any of these applications has been downloaded, you'll need a copy of the downloaded installation package or a way to re - download.  You must also make sure that you have all your license keys.

  If you go ahead with this, one thing you need to do before your existing XP installation is more usable is to download and run Belarc Advisor (free).  Belarc is mainly intended to let you know if your security patches are up-to-date, it also gives you a list of license keys for a large part of your installed software.

  PS: Don't waste your time with Vista.  If you can not go to Windows 7, stick with XP.

• Cannot connect to internet after upgrading to windows xp professional version 2002 service pack 1.

  Hello

  My labtop is hp nc6000. I have upgraded to windows xp professional version 2002 service pack 1 and I can't connect to the internet.

  I used another computer desktop to download service pack 2 and 3, but still cannot install these due to no internet connection.

  I also tried to upgrade the drivers of hp nc6000 obtained from another computer, but received a message that the package cannot be decompressed - another copy must be obtained.

  Please help with kindness.

  Thank you.

  Are you trying to connect wireless or ethernet cable? Have you checked your connections are enabled? If you use the wireless option, you use the hp or windows connection manager?

  I sugest you try to connect with an ethernet cable and go to the network connection in Control Panel and check if your local connection is enabled. If you connect through a router has the DHCP settings.

  If you use the wireless you will need to enter the connection as a new SSID and key details

  Hi jackieT387,

  Thanks for posting. To perform the upgrade, you must download the House to a pack of equal service than the Pro version. After having done that, you should have no problem, perform the upgrade.

  I hope this helps!
