Upgrade to Windows 8 with the student discount
So I want to update my desktop PC for Windows 8 by using the student discount price, but I have a problem. Can I replace my hard drive soon to something faster and more reliable (most likely a SSD). Without a drive, how can I reinstall Windows 8 on my new HDD (or at all) if I'm downloading online?
To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.
If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.
As long as you have an eligible license, you can upgrade from the following link:

How can I get a monthly subscription for the creative cloud with the student discount?
I am a student and am therefore eligible for the reduced student price but I don't want a yearly subscription. I need only really creative cloud for about 3-4 months, but the option to purchase at least seems available when purchasing as an individual. Apparently if I cancel a paid annual monthly for a year, I have to pay 50% of the price for the rest I'm not interested in the practice. How can I buy a subscription for only a few months at the student price?

Fix. There is no option for month student price.
Your choice:
12 month student price $ 19.99/month = $240
4 months $ 75 / month (individual regular) = $300

I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS? It's
an old computer, but it works very well. I want to switch to XP using the Windows upgrade disc. But
in the specifications it lists only 98, 98 Second and ME as an operating system you can upgrade. Thanks John
Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.
In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.
I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

How to reinstall Windows 8 with the upgrade product key
I bought a Windows 7 laptop and then bought the upgrade of Windows 8. on the online store of Windows. The hard drive of the laptop has been altered somehow and both the partition of Windows 8 and Windows 7 recovery partition no longer works.
When I try to create a USB Windows 8 key install it does not accept the product key that I paid for. I can't reinstall Windows 7, so how can I reinstall Windows 8 on the laptop.
Hello
Try saving it in a an ISO Image... You can then put it on a flash or DVD later...
Make sure that you try to download Win 8 and not earn 8.1...
You will always have problems well... even if you manage to get the picture, it will take an existing operating system on the machine.
You may have to buy Win 7 media the manufacturer of machines, if they are still available...
The price is usually quite reasonable, less with most manufacturers charge about US $20

that tells you that you need at least 1 GB.And even 1 GB is not enough for a decent performance with almost any
You can run applications. It's been a long time since 512MB has been

You can go for the use of win8 / win7 / vista to match highlights you want - and download the win8 installation and run the installation with your key to download you need to install windows from that. Will allow you to have an iso bootable.

How to convert .vi .exe with the student LabView version
Hello
I would like to know if it is possible to convert .vi .exe with the student Labview version.
Thank you
N ° if I remember correctly, your license agreement specifically prohibits this. You would have to buy the professional version of LabVIEW. No real need for a student to create an exe file.

Original title: upgrade
I am operating Windows Vista. I was not able to find the instructions for upgrade to Windows 10. The upgrade site says to buy a new PC. Any advice?
Hello
You buy Windows 10, as there is no free upgrade to Vista 10.
Microsoft on Monday said CNET Windows 10 will cost just as much as its predecessor. This means price for Windows 10 will run anywhere from $110 for Windows 10 Home package at $199 for Windows 10 Pro edition. In addition a Pack Pro 10 will allow users upgrade Home Pro for $99.
http://www.CNET.com/news/Microsoft-prices-single-Windows-10-licenses-at-119-for-home-199-for-Pro/
But first make sure that you have the correct configuration and your computer manufacturer provides the right drivers for 10.
https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Windows-10-specifications#sysreqs
Microsoft deploys Windows 10 available as free upgrade to Windows 7 features, Windows and Windows Phone 8.1 8.1 qualified. It will be available from July 29, 2015

never had a disc of windows vista with the new laptop and no option to make a recovery disk, and I need to format my laptop to factory / clean, help!
How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

If I already bought another license, am I still eligible for the student discount?
I'm a 15 year old Finnish student in the case where someone needs to know.
I will be the 9th year (last year in Finnish primary school system) and start at the vocational school in August. That would make me eligible to receive the student discount.
The thing is I want to use photoshop in the summer. I plan to purchase the bundle of photography, but it says in terms of membership of the student that it is no longer available for the first time buyer.
However, when I used the 'Live chat' thing they told me that I could always buy the student membership even if I had used the composition of the photograph before.
So is it really possible or not? I'm confused...
Thanks in advance
(English is not my main language, so please fix the errors you see)
As long as you are considered to be a student, you can get a discount for students. The first release of the year could be more NACO, but you still get a substantial discount in the years of follow-up compared to the full price no educational people subscribe to.
