Upgrading old software?
Recently I factory reset on my Mac air book. I had to re install the operating system on it, but when I opened the computer is a really outdated version of os x lion. I tried the upgrade and nothing has changed. Then I tried to download a new copy, but the App Store was too old to do it. Before I reset I was running the latest version of Yosemite. Can someone help me please update the software if it the latest version possible. I don't mind spending money, I realize that I messed up this one.
help is highly appreciated
Tthanks
I hope that you have a backup.
If you were on Yosemite, then in order to install Lion, you should erase the SSD and install Lion through the recovery of the Internet or a Lion Installer.
If you Yosemite on your MBA, OSX should be in your account in App store. What keeps you from downloading Yosemite to replace the Lion?
The last OSX is El Capitan, which you should also be able to download and install on your MBA by replacing the current OSX.
Ciao.

Y at - it a standard patch that I can download so I can run the old software. The software worked fine on Windows 7 until I upgraded to Windows 10. Disliked Windows 10 but when I tried to go back to Windows 7, had so many problems with the operating system to slate and reinstall Windows 7 with Microsoft technical assistance. Now I can install the old program, '"yourself Fitness' but the program does not open when I try to run it. Could not get the update of the company because they are more active. What can I do?
Pointer to point to the application configuration file or files, right-click on the Setup, and then click on the compatibility problems.
Follow the instructions on the screen, and then select a version of Windows, the software is known to work.

I have no record of my 'administrator' password and am therefore not able to upgrade the software on my PC. What should I do?
Hello
1. how many user accounts have your configured?
2. from what account you are trying to upgrade the software?
To keep track of the workaround section below:

Enable built into account admin and look for the question:
a. click the Start button, and then type cmd in the Search box.
In the list of research results, right click on cmdand then click run as administrator.b. at the command prompt, typenet user administrator / Active: Yesand then press ENTER.
c. type net user administrator
, , and then press ENTER.Note: Please replace the tag
with passwords which you want to set for the administrator account. Type exitand press ENTER. Disconnect from the current user account.
Now you will see the built in Administrator account, log on to this account and try to create a new user with administrator privileges account and check for the issue.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium on my new laptop. How can I use my old software on it? I have PageMaker 7.0, 10.0 CorelDraw and Photoshop 6.0 on my old laptop XP has died. I can not load the Vista machine? I cannot afford to buy new software, but I would use it on the new machine. Help!
Hello
always check the compatibility of vista programs on the link below
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx
If a program is compatible with vista you can try right click on the setup.exe, and then selecting run as administrator
It is not compatible with vista, you can try running it in a previous operating system mode
This does not work for all programs
read the information below
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/
____________________________________________________________
and read this information MS, too
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-the-program-compatibility-Wizard
____________________________________________________________
If a program is particularly important to you, there is this way of trying
but it's expensive, because you must have a previous operating system license to install
This method also works in vista Home premium, BUT is not supported by microsoft

where can we get this Vista Upgrade Advisor Software? Anywhere, there is a link saying need us for this software - it's rather Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor...
We want to upgrade to Vista without having to reinstall all the software/programs, set up users, etc., on this computer.
This software "Advisor" we apparently will tell if we can do it.
Hello
Do you have an upgrade copy or a full copy of the Windows Vista product?
Vista Upgrade Advisor in is no longer available for download.
Check if your computer meets the criteria of minimum system requirements to install Windows Vista.

Try to get the old software to work on Windows 7
I am trying to run old software on my Windows 7 PC. It's a language program that was given to me recently. When I insert the disc and try to run the program I get the following error message. "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. "Then I tried to run the program in compatibility mode with the two 95, 98, 2000 and Windows XP however whenever I test with one of these compatibilities nothing happens. Then once I have troubleshoot it tells me I have a question that is "Application Incompatible." Is there anything else I can try to get the program to work?
