• How to install and activate Windows XP after the upgradation of hardware

  I am using Windows XP SP3 and it is activated. I have the original and authentic installation CD
  with the product key in my possession. I plan to upgrade my hardware by replacing the HARD drive, motherboard, CPU.
  RAM and DVD player. Please inform how to install and activate the Windows XP to the new
  material configuartion. At the present time, I have no intention to migrate to the Windows 7 operating system.

  If you use OEM copy of windows XP, you will not be able to reactivate.  When you change the motherboard, you need a new license.

• Re-install Windows after upgradation of hardware

  I have a PC with dual boot system with Windows 7 Home Basic and Windows 8 Pro, which are legal and active versions. At the present time, the PC is running on an AMD Athlon X 2 processor.  This processor does not support some important features of Windows 8, I need. I tried to upgrade the hardware and installed a new card mother with Core i3 processor and re-installed both windows. I find that Windows 7 and Windows 8 lost their start-up and cannot be activated with original product keys. The message I get is "significant physical changes have been detected...". ». So, I was forced to go back to the old AMD processor to maintain activation intact, which prevents me from using the important features. Please tell me how I can upgrade my hardware and also keep the activation of two intact windows.

  Assuming that Win7 Home Basic has been provided by your PC manufacturer's OEM version and as such cannot be transferred/enabled on new hardware as its related to the original hardware (motherboard)

  For Win8, as others have said you activate by phone

• I have a HP Pavilion a1615.uk and I want to upgrade the hardware to run a 64-bit operating system.

  I have a HP Pavilion a1615.uk (RF783AA) and I want to upgrade the hardware so I can install a 64-bit operating system. What should I do to make a 64-bit system? It is an upgrade of the bios or it means new equipment?

  Thank you very much

  Mrsbex

  Hello

  Normally, for modern machines we only need the 64 bit operating system itself and the drivers appropriate to go with it. There is no need to upgrade the hardware except we may want more RAM to use the 64 bit OS.

  In your case, the machine is too old, my suggestion is to buy a new machine. In the long run, can be cheaper than buying part and piece of component to upgrade the existing.

  Kind regards

• Win98SE invited in WS v10.0.1; cannot upgrade virtual hardware

  I installed VMware WS v9.x v10.0.1 and, as with all the previous WS upgrades, I upgraded the virtual hardware to version 10.  With one exception, all that is.  My Win98SE guest does not accept the upgrade of virtual equipment of v9 to v10.  I have an error message: "this virtual machine does not have the latest version of VMWare Tools.  You must update the VMware Tools until you can upgrade the virtual machine.  "For more information about upgrading, see 'http://vmware.com/info?id=98'.  I am running WS on a Win8.1 Pro host.

  First of all, I did never had upgrade level of VMware Tools before upgrading the hardware.  I always updated the virtual material THEN upgraded VMware Tools.  In fact, I just did it for my Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux VMs, Win7.

  Secondly, it seems to be there anyway no new version of VMware Tools for Win98SE.  When I start the operating system, I get no automatic indication I had to upgrade.  When I go to the VM option in WS while the VM is running I only get the option "Reinstall VMware Tools".  And when I set the winPre2k.iso on the virtual CD and start the installation manually I get only the options to repair/uninstall/reinstall.  Relocation of the VMware Tools has the same original problem.

  I remember something vaguely similar in the past where VMware has released an upgrade which was problematic because they did not provide a new VMware Tools for Windows Pre2k operating systems and has not bothered to even update the version number in the file winPre2k.iso so that it works correctly with the new virtual hardware.  I'm guessing that something like this can happen again.  Either that or there is some kind of a bug.  I am remiss to contact VMware directly to report a bug through their support mechanisms; the last time I did it turned into a long 6 + months fiasco loaded many emails back to California and the India Conference calls, allowing the remote control of my computer, etc.

  When I tried to create a new VM Win98SE, WS chose the 10 hardware version that tells me Win98SE is supposed to work on this latest version of virtual equipment.

  So, let's recap: WS v10.x wants the latest tools installed in Win98SE VM prompt to update the virtual hardware to v10 but do not accept that there is NO new version of tools.  I have marked this message as a question in case someone can offer opportunities to a solution which I missed.  It's maddening to constantly through problems like this in a piece of software as professional and expensive.

  Sorry you have a question however...

  : 1 Windows 98 is more a BONE officially supported by VMware for VMware Workstation 10 (or Microsoft for that matter) even if it can be selected in the wizard.

  Fact 2: A given virtual hardware version can be selected does not mean all the features will be compatible with all operating systems or any OS.

  Fact 3: Products VMware, like many other manufactured goods, have questions that will have to be workaround at certain times.

  Then...  If it appears there is a question of trying to change the hardware compatibility through the user interface and then manually edit the .vmx config file to make the changes necessary and appropriate!

  If I were to create a Windows 98 VM by selecting "hardware compatibility:" Workstation 9.0 and 10.0 Workstation, while accepting all the default values, the only difference in the .vmx config file is virtualHW.version = '9' vs virtualHW.version = "10".  If a simple manual modification of the .vmx config file it will modernize to 10!

• How to upgrade the hardware on a VCenter Server

  In lab environment, two hosts, VCenter server, don't HA, storage etc. running share. I managed to upgrade hosts, using Crossover, but his declaration of errors when attempting to upgrade the hardware of server VCenter comments... I can see that it would be a problem, using VCenter to upgrade equipment on himself, when he needs to reboot the server to install. The question is, how to get around that? I tried to look for solutions, not found anything yet. Hope that makes sense.

  Latest versions of everything, as it is a laboratory under eval licenses. Thank you

  You must turn off the VM, connection to the ESXi host through vSphere client vCenter and right-click on the VM vCenter > virtual hardware upgrade.

  Make sure that you run VMware tools before do you.

• How to cancel the upgrade virtual hardware task?

  Hi guys,.

  Right now, we have a problem.

  Last week, we try to migrate a computer virtual from one server to another.

  We forget to type hard when you copy the files.

  vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/4e7cbe71-9b013d2d-b735-001e67059c6c/EVSamsClub/EVSamsClubServer/FedoraTest.vmdk/vmfs/volumes/4e7cbe71-9b013d2d-b735-001e67059c6c/EVSamsClub d thin

  The correct is

  vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/4e7cbe71-9b013d2d-b735-001e67059c6c/EVSamsClub/EVSamsClubServer/FedoraTest.vmdk/vmfs/volumes/4e7cbe71-9b013d2d-b735-001e67059c6c/EVSamsClub. VMDK thin d

  Then, we get an error message.

  http://screencast.com/t/kf5vSY4A2R3

  And then we hit the virtual hardware to update. Now a week past and the VM still under upgrade virtual hardware.

  It cannot be cancel and we can not delete the virtual machine.

  See here:

  http://screencast.com/t/76nDz2CpLWXe

  Right now, we want to just cancel the upgrade process and delete the virtual machine.

  Any suggestion?

  Who is King

  Zigange

  Hard shut down the virtual using the vSphere client. If it does not migrate all other virtual machines off the coast of the host, then turn off the host. When you restart the host, you should be able to remove the virtual machine as the processes that are running against her will have stopped.

  Kind regards

• Workstation 8-Upgrade VM hardware compatibility?

  Salvation;

  I was wondering what the "normal" procedure, when you upgrade the workstation 7 to 8. It is expected that you would normally hold the VM "hardware compatibility at the old level 6-7', or it is expected that you would usually improve the old VM to version 8?" (At least presuming you don't have all the questions where you need to maintain compatibility with other VMware products...).

  I imagine that in both cases you normally install tools version 8. I have Windows 7, Windows XP and Linux Guests.

  Thank you;

  -Greg

  the usual procedure was: download the new version and upgrade virtual hardware to the new

  However with WS 8 I wouldn't only light heart
  you don't even know if it works for you - if I would not upgrade any virtual computer within weeks
  is better to wait until you know that WS 8 works as well as WS 7 on your host - you will not be the first to return to 7 WS

  anyway - as always with risky installs as Windows updated or changes in vmware-tools... take a first snapshot

• Upgrade VM hardware Version?

  Hello

  Will be upgraded infrastructure Vmware Esx3.5 4.1 Vsphere Essentials plus customers.

  They currently have only 2 ESX 3.5 server and where the addition of a new third-party server.

  Virtual machines are stored on a storage area network that is accessible to all the ESX servers.

  Since there is currently no facility HA or DRS, my plan is to just configure the new server with 4.1, get a new Vcenter running.

  IM assuming that the new Vcenter server can add servers from 3.5 to 4.1.

  So my plan is to make a cold migration of virtual machines to the new 4.1 server.  Then once I have all the VMS on the server of 3.5.  Install 4.1 from scratch there, then move some VM turn it back on for the other ESX Server.

  My first question is just to confirm that the above, sounds good and should work?

  My next question,

  Once all my servers on Version 4.1, then I want to update versions of material on all my virtual machines.

  I was going to use Vmware Converter to do this.  It is usually the best way to upgrade the version of the hardware in a virtual computer?

  Third Question

  There are some virtual machines such as Exchange and domain controllers, I prefer not to convert while it is energized (Live).  IDE rather shut the virtual machine to low and then convert.
  Can VMware Converter Convert a motor turns off the Virtual Machine, or should I use the cold Clone CD to do?

  Thank you

  Mike

  New server vCenter Server can also handle former guests.

  Before the virtual hardware upgrade, you must first pass VMware Tools.

  Then, you must be sure that no host ESX/ESXi 3.x not existence.

  Virtual material conversion must come from vSphere client (power off the virtual machine and choose upgrade virtual hardware).

  Converter isn't the right solution and require more space

• Worth to upgrade the hardware in 2011 MacBook Pro?

  I have a 2011 end 15 "Macbook Pro (MacBookPro8, 2):"

  CPU: Intel Core i7 (2.5 GHz, 8 MB L3, 4 cores, 256 KB of L2 cache cache)

  Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6770 M 1024 MB

  Memory: 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (my upgrade using OWC RAM)

  Storage: Hitachi 750Go HD, 7200 RPM

  Battery *-he won't hold much fees and I always keep connected when possible because battery just does not last too long.

  But touch wood... except for the battery, I am happy with this old trick: the performances are quite good (with latest OS X 10.11.3).)

  It is interesting to invest in some hardware upgrades that it would rejuvenate significantly?

  I think the following (with the current prices of OWC):

  -new battery $99

  -SSD, 480 GB OWC Mercury Electra 6G $195 (it is $ 63 less than equivalent Extreme Pro)

  -1 TB HGST HD 7200 RPM $98 (with cube data, to be installed in the region of CD)

  TOTAL: $392 (I cut this to $287 if I cut half of SSD and HD capabilities)

  Opinions? My only concern is this new h/w were in a 5 year old laptop, how does life have left? Will be an investment to upgrade the h/w wasted because of other failures in 2 years?

  First of all, longevity... some still run their lighter systems 2008 as web browsers and other tasks.  My MBP 2011 sends this message.

  Second... An old battery is just that - something to be replaced instead of a 'sign of death.  I would like to replace it immediately at an Apple Store... old batteries can swell and damage case/keyboard/trackpad.  Maybe not, but it happens quite often.

  As for HD... all the spinny readers die subsequently.  You are wise to consider a replacement.  My 2011 MBP has a Crucial MBP (OWC is also a very good drive, and get the non-Pro is not a bad decision, if the Pro is not necessary).

  Basically if it's 'OK' outside the farm, the SSD will be much faster and the battery will allow it to better function as a portable device.

  < EDIT > The SSD you put into the 2011 models are 2.5, which can be reused in external speakers if the 2011 becomes unsustainable future (could happen).  So the SSD is definitely NOT a waste of money.
