upgrading from a beta trial of windows 8
After buying $39 windows 8 pro and then by downloading and running the windows Wizard, the installation stops working. It just runs on and on. Then when I stop it, it is said essentially none can do.
You need to reinstall your previous version of Windows (XP, Vista or Windows 7) and then upgrade.

My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly. In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
Can someone help me please?
Best regards
JohnBesides what abdelhak says:
The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.
Hope this helps,

Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional
I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation. Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '. All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before. Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem. All previous Windows upgrades went flawless. Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.
I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time? I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup. Is this correct?
Hi pwcushman,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.
Windows Live OneCare Backup works in stages. You start by setting up how you want Backup to run and save the configuration. The backup will then run according to schedule and backup your files according to the saved configuration. You can make changes to this list or add other files and folders.
You can restore all files and folders, but you will have to reinstall all the programs.

Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional and I have a few questions?
I'm about to upgrade to Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit, but I'm very nervous (stupid - I know). Currently I have Vista on a SATA internal hard drive, but is planning to install Windows 7 on my much bigger and 2nd inside SATA hard drive, which currently has no importance to this subject?
- Is it possible to install Windows 7 on an internal hard drive with Vista on another? I have no intention to use Vista more so once Windows 7 installed will not need to keep if it is possible to do.
- Assuming that I can install Windows 7 on disk more while Vista is a smaller, I cause operational problems by removing Vista once Windows 7 has been wing not unhooked?
- Assuming the above is possible I will be able to "faithfully" copy/move/import (not sure of the method - help please) users existing file structure and data from the old files of user profiles of Vista on the smaller disk to the new files in user profiles Windows 7 on disk more nothing lose or create compatibility problems?
- If not, should I just stick with the installation of Windows 7 over Vista and use the larger 2nd disk to store users. I chose this option will data being stored on the disc more to maintain its security between users. That is, if Winodws 7 is intalled on the smaller C drive and I connect like me, can I keep my data of user on the 2nd drive internal more all ensuring that other users cannot access the data just by accessing the 2nd disc via "my computer"? I hope that makes sense!
- It is even possible to store data of the user safely on another drive to the operating system, but still maintain user security principals / separate secure?
- It is possible to install Windows 7 on the 2nd largest drive I can (before deleting Vista) user folders simply drag - move in new files of the user, I create in Windows 7 or is it more complicated than that. (I'll try to find the simplest method to keep user files structures and existing Vista and import/copy/move data in new user profiles in the new operating system).
Sorry for all the questions but the family counts on me to get it right.
Show stopper, is that you can do a upgrade in place of a 32 bit OS (Vista in your case) to a 64-bit (Windows 7 64 bit) OS, you must perform an installation "Custom"and clean. "
This means that you should backup your media files data external 9to) before starting and reinstall all of your applications after installing Windows 7 64 bit.
Question: Did you buy an "Upgrade" version or the "full version" of Windows 7?
Regarding the drive to use, either will work, but the procedure is different.

First Elements 10 does not work after upgrade from 8.1 to 10 Windows
I haven't had any work in first 10 items from my computer updated from Windows 8.1 for Windows 10. Yesterday, I discovered that the videos I had edited and made first pay more. Videos 'Mpeg' now appear as "mi/gal." The original clips again will play, but not the edited videos.
Is there a solution?
I have to go back to Windows 8.1?
If I go to the first 14 elements, these videos will be playable?
First of all make sure that you uninstall and reinstall Premiere Elements after that you upgrade your operating system. Version 10 is a 32-bit program and will not be able to take advantage of the advanced architecture of Windows 10.
Also to ensure that you have the latest version of Quicktim installed, according to the requirements of the program.
If you have trouble running first Elements 10, the value that it is running in Compatibility Mode. It should work just fine - just not as well as new 64 bit versions of the program.

The upgrade from 2 XP Machines to Windows 8 32-bit using CD 1.
I am planning to purchase and install 8 32-bit Windows and then switch to 8.1 by the store.
I have the new Mobo and parts to come for my laptop and have already spent $300,00 +/-to prepare the desktop computer.
My office has full-file XP SP3 with a genuine Windows key.
I also have a laptop that died so hard that I have to do a Complete install with a new key.
I understand the new key, but;
Can I use the same installation CD and use the Office XP key that I have to upgrade, without buying another key?
Both computers are guaranteed officially custom and past.
Hi Robert,.
Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.
You can install Windows XP by using the CD, however it is not possible to use the same product key to activate that has already been used on the desktop. I suggest you perform a new installation of Windows 8 on laptop with the new retail product key. Therefore, you may need to purchase 2 product key of Windows 8 to activate both computers.
