Upgrading to Windows 7 and lost my shortcuts and Outlook files
Upgrading to Windows 7 Premium to find my deleted and Outlook shortcuts wanting to be "configured". Dude... where's my stuff? I thought the upgrade would not "retarded" my files or I would not have paid for the upgrade. Help, please.
It's what you're looking for the folder Windows.old XP ROCKS mentioned would have a file Outlook.pst.
Where the Outlook.pst file?
Note: Change the Windows Explorer option to see the Windows.old folder:
Click on start and enter in the box "Search": "hidden" (without the quotes)
Click on the "Show the hidden files and folders" option at the top of the list.
In the "Folder Options" window
Click the 'view' if it is not already selected.
In the list "Advanced settings" locate "hidden files and folders".
Now click 'show files and folders '.
Then, disable the following:
"Hide empty drives in the computer folder.
"Hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know."
"Hide protected operating system files"
Click on the "Apply" button and the OK"" button.

Upgraded to windows 7 and also a new hard drive
I have a 2005 HP m7060n Media Center http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00306958 & lang = to & cc = us & taskI... running on XP
I was looking to upgrade to Windows 7 and also install a new drive. New readers are shipped with windows 7 already preinstalled and when I change the disks, it will start windows 7.
How could I then exchange the old files to the new drive?
What is your solution the best and less expensive? How do you do this? Help, please.
Thank you
MarcoI suggest that perform you a clone of the hard drive. Seagate drives and WD offer a free version of the wizard disk.
Clone the original 200 GB drive to the new drive. To avoid problems, has chosen a 1.5 or 1 t T drive. Once you have the clone, just install the upgrade on the new drive. All your data will remain intact, and the intact original of 200 GB drive is secure.
PS > you need a spare sata power and data leads to the clone. Look inside and see what led power is hanging loose. Then I can suggest an adapter or cable. As the DVD is IDE, (not Sata) from what I've read, you will need a Sata data cable also.

IM using Windows XP Profesional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 and what would be the cost?
upgrade windows xp to windows 7
IM using windows xp profesional can I upgrade to windows 7 and what would be the cost? what I have to put all my files on an external drive then uninstall windows xp then put in windows 7 then put back my files? is that how its done? Thank you.First the cost, you must know if your hardware can support Windows 7
In General win 7 should a minimum og 1 gig of ram (for 32 bit) or 2 for 64-bit, and it needs a video card 256 MB or greater.
If your less and can not be updated it may be best to start thinking about a new computer.
If the above is ok there are various offers for win 8, but make sure you buy form a reliable site of Ms. There are a lot of current scams.
Good luck

I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.
Hello
OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.
An OEM license is not transferable.
And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.
There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...
You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.
See you soon.

If you want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7, you won't lose iTunes music library. However, there is a chance of losing the music of iTunes library if you choose custom installation.

How to import emails from Windows mail to Outlook. I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and want to use Outlook 2002 for email from Windows mail program is no longer usable.
The following versions of Microsoft Outlook are fully supported on Windows 7;
- Outlook 2003
- Outlook 2007
- Outlook 2010 (when it came out)
It is recommended to always update your version of Outlook directly after installation to take care of any question of incompatibility which have been corrected.
Previous versions
Another version of Outlook is not supported on Windows 7. Although you may install it, any compatibility issues is not corrected. For example;- Outlook 2002/XP works on Windows 7, but it has the same problems remember password when using Windows Vista.
- Outlook 2000 cannot be installed in Internet Mail Only Mode (IMO) and must be installed in company/workgroup (CW Mode) Mode to prevent a mistake wab.dll.

Transfer Vista Business on XP Pro computer.
I have a desktop computer with Vista business I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and install Vista on a laptop that has XP Pro but is Vista capable.
Hello
If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere
It is part of the upgrade process
and also read this on licensing rules;
If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.
The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopIf a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.A single license is a single Installation.

My computer is a Vista desktop Dell Vostra. I've upgraded to Windows 7 and did not like (a lot of my programs wouldn't run well on it) so I tried to demote him back to Vista. Now my ethernet does not work. The drivers are there, but he says won't work, code 10. How can I fix it? I can't solve the problems on the computer, because I have no network.
Hello
go to dell and get the latest drivers for vista for your machine using one, you're on to get here
Save the drivers for the flash player and then transfer them

upgrade to windows 8 and blue-ray no longer works
I have a HP elite hpe 570f clubhouse and I have upgraded to windows 8 and the blue-ray player no longer works.
Do you mean that the optical drive is no longer at all, or simply that he does not play Blu - ray discs? Windows 8 does not include any software that can play BD movies. Check whether the player can play a music CD, and if it is possible, you can probably just download the third-party BD playback software to play BD movies.
