I upgraded my computer, adding a second hard disk for a new operating system and kept the old drive as a data disc. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new disk and import my favorites from the old installation of Mozilla on the old disk. I can't find the files on the old drive with my favorites. They're still here, or when I reinstalled Firefox, I lost everything even if it was on another drive? I can't find the backup on the old disk files and want to restore my old favorites. Is it possible to do this?
You must find your profile folder in the old drive, the way in which must be:
- First display the hidden files and folders:
- Then go to:
- < old drive >: \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles \Users\ < username >
- Enter in your profile, and then enter the folder bookmarkbackups .
- Copy the latest file from json (backup of bookmarks)
- Then restore from them:

1 of 3. Theoretically you can upgrade the processor as follows:
Processor Intel Core i7-820QM 1.73 GHz, SC turbo up to 3.06 GHz with 8 MB of L2 cache
and 1333 MHz front side bus (FSB)Frankly I would not worth it. The workload and potential will weigh much more heavily in the balance than the gain of performance negigible. An SSD would be much easier and would provide even more performance gain in any other game.
The GeForce 230 M is the best graphics available in this series, so there is no motherboard better. Graphic design is not a replaceable but welded card to the motherboard. There is only one available for this model fan. Perhaps you could improve its performance with best chocks composed or perhaps thermal thermal but it's a cutting-edge engineering.

Can I use the Vista license that I have just upgraded to windows 7 Upgrade a computer is currently using XP?
Can I use the Vista license that I have just upgraded to windows 7 Upgrade a computer is currently using XP?
Lol when you upgrade you send upwards with a license, not two. The license of Vista is subsumed in Windows 7 one and can no longer be used. This is the reason for which an upgrade is cheaper than licensed full.

Original title: upgrade Windows 10
I made an iso file for windows 10. I am waiting to upgrade until all the bugs are being developed. My question is: will the iso file of windows 10 still work to upgrade my computer to windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?
The ISO will work after the date limit, but you can buy Windows 10 after the date limit, if you don't improve and activate it before that date.
Windows 10 is delivered as a service:
Windows July 10 release - build 10240
Windows Update 10 November - build 10586 (with many updates depuis.13,.29,. 36)
If you want to take advantage of the free offer, you must do so before July 29, 2016.
If you the newer versions are released before then, you can always download and install when it becomes available.
You could also install it now then download updates via Windows Update as soon as they are available.
Task of pre-required
When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1
- How to back up and restore your files manually
- How to free up disk space in Windows
- How to: 10 tips before installing Windows 10
- How to: determine if a device application or hardware is compatible with Windows 10
- Will remain the documents and applications, or install app must
then
- How to download official Windows 10 ISO files
- How to: upgrade previous versions of Windows using the file ISO for Windows 10
then
- Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
- Reboot several times, and then try again.
- Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
- If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
- Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
- If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
- If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
- If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
- If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
- If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

Recently, I upgraded my computer laptop studio dell for Windows 7 64-bit to Vista 64 bit and now my Dell a920 all-in - One Printer does not work. It works well with XP and Vista.

I think to upgrade my computer to a mac from Apple. Can I download my programs on the new computer. I currently use a laptop running Windows
Hi,
I see you have a subscription of photography under the enamel even as with the forums.
You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application
You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:

Laptop HP 2000: upgraded my computer laptop processor
I'm interested in upgrading my laptop cpu and im wondering the maximum GHz, I did research all night and I found nothing so far. For now its got a 1.3 GHz cpu and I would get at LEAST a 2 GHz if possible.
Well, you have the E-300 AMD processor. It is a portable Wal-Mart and was designed to be sold at a very attractive price.
You need to update or at least replace the motherboard to make any type of upgrade. Even the best option of AMD (with processor soldered to the motherboard) is not very powerful. You can put in a motherboard that would accept an Intel i5 processor, but that would be to buy a motherboard, processor and cooling fan, which are likely to cost more than the original selling price of the laptop. However, if you want to try to do that, we can help you.
Here is the Manual:
It would be the motherboard:
For use only with models with an Intel Core i5 or i3 processor
Models with Windows 8, standard 685107-501
Best processor:
i5 - 3230 M 2.60 GHz processor 711903-001
Fan and radiator:
For use only with the computer models equipped with an Intel processor 685086-001
All versions of the motherboard max out with 8 GB of RAM.

Upgrading my computer, do I need a new OS?
I plan to upgrade an old computer Pentium 4 to a new motherboard and new CPU with memory. I intend to keep my hard drive as-is. The computer is runnning XP 32 bit. What I have to buy a new operating system, or the old operating system work? This OS has been installed at the factory, so I don't have a disk for it - if I have to reinstall, is it possible to do without a disk?
If you do not have a disc for the operating system, you will encounter a problem when Windows detects the new hardware. An OEM license is technically related to the packaging of your processor and motherboard and cannot be transferred to a new PC, which is actually what you get if all what you keep is the hard drive. If it is a license to retail for XP and you simply do not have the disk, you can experience a problem when you are forced to do the Windows Activation again as a result of the important material.
Personally, I suggest getting a new hard drive, too, and just built a new PC in your case with the parts you buy. I also would seek to buy Windows 7 for that 'new' PC XP copy, if left on the old disk and hung as a secondary in the 'new' drive PC will allow you to qualify for a license to upgrade to Windows 7 (or Vista if you do this update today).
