Upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 will reduce the performance of my PC?

I look to upgrade my laptops Windows Vista Edition software Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium! My laptop can be slow sometimes and I was wondering, the upgrade to Windows 7 will make slower or it will just remain the same?

Hello

We cannot advise you as to which is better/more fast/slow more of your particular computer.

But we suggest you follow these steps before moving on to Windows 7.

Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

And how to improve the performance of Vista:

See if this helps you:

Search for malware, if necessary using the safe mode with networking.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#Vista

Windows Vista

Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

It would be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool if you have corrupted files

"How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

If SFC detects serious flaws, you may need to perform a repair upgrade Installation or relocation complete if you don't have a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

If you can borrow a DVD of Vista from Microsoft you save doing a reinstall full:

    Should I buy this or not?

    Well, if you get the Xeon V3 they are locked to 2133 DDR4 ram. The 5960 X and other chips I7 Haswell E will load any DDR4 speed and are not locked. So you can get the amount of fast ram with the I7 CPU. ECC adds an extra clock for the ECC cycle which is a marginal increase in latency ram. However, the difference between DDR4-2133 and DDR4 2666 is big enough, especially when it comes with 4 +, media. That's why you want unbuffered ram, but need you an I7 using it at a higher speed, 2133. Also there is at least some Xeon boards that used same handle without buffer ram, so maybe it's not an option on this Dell anyway. You certainly want the Quadro K4200 of pit and get a 980GTX card. The Quadros are slower and do not have HDMi 2.0. They generate more heat at this point than the 900 series cards. I would like to ask what PSU is that Dell however since this is a major limitation of upgrade of video and other cards if it is small.

    Original title: two processors

    In most cases, you will probably have to use these options, but they can come in handy. For example, if you think that a startup problem is caused by the presence of more than one processor, you can limit the number of processors used to boot the system by activating the checkbox number of processors, and specifying a number.

    Mr President I'm on hp xw6400 workstation it has 2 processors and I use windows 10 on it, I want to run the two processors at the same time to improve performance is anyway you can tell me how...

    Hello

    Installation is possible, however, the operating system will use a processor at a single time. There are also the prerequisites if you want this kind of installation. Even if it is possible, we have no advice to use both processors at the same time, because performance will always be bottleneck depending on the hardware and the operating system you are using.

  • Many shots will decrease the performance of the disk?

    If I have virtual machines with several photos are taken, this will affect the performance of disk for this virtual machine?

    I understand that when a snapshot is taken the ordinary VMDK file becomes 'read only' and a delta file is used for the new entries. If a new snapshot is in fact the first delta file is read-only and a new one is created and so on.

    If there is a VM with say, 5 photos taken a few times, then to really see what the drive look like the ESX host must focus on several files. This would decrease the overall performance disk of the virtual machine, and if so, would be a small or large difference?

    Yes, this is additional logic here, but since you can run several virtual machines a few HARD drive head movements will be anyway, so it will not lead to a significant degradation.

    And don't forget not, if you're going to use RAID with large number of disks (one of my stores of data is based on 16 pins RAID6) blocks will be placed on different hard drives, there is not a head movement at all.

  • How to reinstall the Windows 7 upgrade on vista for new installation or in the event of system failure?

    I love periodically re - install a new operating system after reformatting hadr drive. In the past it was the of syetem of full operation and not just an upgrade. I have to be sure that it is not complicated, as I want to install the upgrade to Windows 7 (family pack) on 3 PC/laptops running Vista. I would upgrade as detailed instructions on how I would do a new installation using the Windows 7. This is important because I don't want to create a nightmarish experience of backup, install the original operating system, install the upgrade, etc. etc. etc.

    If you upgrade a computer Vista Win7 and need or want to do a clean install (or repair install) of Windows, you will need to reinstall Vista and then switch to Win7 again.

    Your question has nothing to do with Windows Update. Ask questions about the upgrade instead: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  • I have many windows security updates and are now too much room. Is there a program that will reduce the amount of space being taken up?

    I want to free memory space and have years of security updates to windows of the pak series 3 services. Is there a way to free up space or I will damage the operating system?

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to an external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on an external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)
    • See also:

    " How to recover disk space on Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP computers? ."

    " Forty ways to free disk space ."

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application on an external drive, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location (and even then, it is likely going to install some files on your main system drive).  You can not simply move the files.

  • Windows 8 will run the PageMaker and InDesign software?

    I have 7 PageMaker and InDesign. Windows 8 will run them smoothly? What about Adobe Photoshop?

    Yes! Windows 8 will run all the software that you know in Windows 7, including the applications mentioned.

    Windows 8 RT, which is built for mobile tablets (like the Surface) is the only version of Windows 8, which is not backward compatible with applications that are running on an earlier version of Windows.
