  • If the upgrade to windows 7, it will be able to read data discs my xp?

    If the upgrade to windows 7, it will be able to read data discs my xp? l have data recorded on cd and on Word, and then transferred to cd/disc, to save. My XP PC can read the disc on reinstalling Microsoft Works, which has the word inside program. Windows 7 will be able to read these discs of data?

    Hi steve,.

    Just to make sure I understand, you have the Word documents on them with backup discs and wondering if they will be recognised by Windows 7.
    If this is the case, then you should not have to worry. Windows 7 will read the disc properly. However, as with XP, you will need to install the correct program that you would use to open files.
    In other words, if they are Word documents, then you will need to have MS Word installed or installed works for viewing.
    Hope this helps and let me know if you need more information.

    Thank you.

    NO! There is no Windows 7 Ultimate trial.

    There is a free trial Windows 7 Enterprise, but who would not be eligible to use an upgrade of Windows 8 with her.

    To use the upgrade of Windows 8 you must have a previous version installed, licensed and registered in Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

  • What will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop after I swap HDD with SSD?

    Original title: replacement disk and windows.

    Hello guys.

    I am considering buying a new laptop. The model that I found and I like has a HARD drive if I want to replace it with the SSD to the format of my previous laptop. (Due to the low energy consumption, greater speed, etc.). So I have a 256 gb SSD in my previous loan of laptop replace new one HARD disk, yet what will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop?

    I can reinstall windows 8 on the SSD, but I don't have a key to activate their... How will I be able to get the key from previous series if the laptops will only work with a recovery partition these days here? I asked a guy in the store, I buy my laptop since and he told me that he does not know and I have to ask for help. However, to create a message of support I need a serial number of the model I did not because I have not yet bought a laptop, so I don't know what to do... I really don't want to stick with the HARD drive, but also I can't afford another model.

    Is it possible to do a recovery with my laptop disk when I get it, then replace the drive with my SSD and run the recovery disc I made?

    The laptop I want to buy is an Asus if that helps...

    Thanks in advance...

    The 'Raw' State is not necessary, it is the State of any drive (SSD drive or hard drive) would be in if you just remove a disk new in box and will need to be "initialized", since you have already used the player already initialized sound.

    Do not format the drive, rather than delete all existing partitions, (the SSD shows then as being "unallocated"). Now you are ready to restore the backup Image you created. During the restore process Acronis will recreate the partitions that were on the hard drive on your SSD.

  • I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Starter 64 Bit of Windows XP Professional 32-bit, is it feasible?

    If the Starter does not come with 64-bit, then Home Basic or Premium. I want to just update and not start from scratch. Thanks for your quick response.

    Windows 7 Starter is an OEM distribution that only is preloaded on the new NetBooks and Nettop computers. If you want to migrate to Windows 7, your only options are Windows 7 Edition Home Premium, professional or ultimate edition. If you live in some emerging markets, you should be able to get Windows 7 Home Basic Edition.

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

     

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

  • Upgrading to Windows XP 8 will allow me to cancel the scores of disc fusion?

    Hello

    I've updated before, but I don't remember if the process will allow me to reconfigure the disk partitions. I have a couple of discs that I have merged into a single partition and I think that contributes to performance problems so I would like to cancel it during an XP to upgrade to Windows 8.

    Will it be possible?

    Thank you

    Lee

    Hello

    To install Windows 8.1 of Windows XP, you need to install it from a DVD of Windows 8.1 and perform a new installation. During the new installation, you can format all partitions and configure them at your leisure.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/upgrade-from-Windows-Vista-XP-tutorial

    Note: Before moving to Windows 8, save the backup of your data on external hard drive.

    Please see the following link for detailed information about the tasks you can perform on the disk using the disk partition.

  • My key Windows VistaTM Starter will not work

    My laptop was bought after 3 years... and now I'm fighting through activation problems.

    When it is freshly installed by my uncle (in fact it has just changed), a technician was there to set up our component; He saw my notebook and asked if he wants me to degrade to XP because Vista is slow... since I'm naïve at this point, I just said yes, not knowing that my uncle made a lot of changes to the laptop.
    For about 1 year, I went through different reformat (after degradation 1 time, I asked him to update back); up to 1 times my license key has stopped working. It's a key Windows VistaTM Starter legitimate , I asked some elderly parents w / knowledge to my problem and said it could be that someone stole my key.
    I said 'No' because the key is known only to me and to the technician. I don't know if it uses it or what, but I can't activate it.
    My laptop does not now, and he's going to need someone to fix soon... but here is some information that might help:
    • I have the media recovery disk, all the stuff for Windows Vista and the LG drive (where you can install display, sound drivers etc..).
    • The laptop model is LG RD405.
    I hope someone could help me. PS; the call of my country cost much so I can't take the phone option especially since I have a bit in hearing deficit... and my position is on the Philippines.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
    (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
    -* in your own thread *, please

    Please also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you a) in the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but does NOT quote the key on the sticker!

  • Can upgrade you Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7?

    I advise you to go to the Crucial memory Advisor tool and check what is available. I checked a Toshiba NB255 and it appears that 2 GB are allowed, but you want to confirm with your own model specific mini laptop.

    Get advice here before committing to the recommendations of a "big - box" store I bet that there is even a YouTube video on how to upgrade yourself your memory. Questions of compatibility of memory, you get better information than the Crucial memory Advisor. I always start there when considering an upgrade of memory.

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer: upgrade to Windows 10 - Start Menu disappeared

    I updated July 29 to 10 Windows using the Windows Media authoring tool.  I was very happy with the new system, everything was working fine until 2 days ago the Start Menu disappeared.  I looked for solutions, as it seems a common phenomenon and Microsoft are aware and working on a fix (this problem occurred with a previous version).  The most popular and apparently successful solution is:

    Open Windows PowerShell (run as administrator) the Task Manager (as a new task) and enter:

    Get-AppxPackage | % {Add-AppxPackage - DisableDevelopmentMode-register "$($_.)} {"InstallLocation) \AppxManifest.xml"}

    This has not worked for me.  After much trial and error I havefound change affected 'Standard' to 'Administrator' account and restart work.  Long term, however.  Someone at - there a better solution?

    Thank you. Unfortunately, I was one of those for whom this solution did not work.  The problem turned in my case to be caused by AdAware 9.0 that was included in the upgrade.  He was using a lot of memory and seemed to be blocking updates.  He was not enrolled in a program control panel, so I was unable to uninstall it.  I tried to replace it with the latest AdAware (currently 11.0) to save the program and then can be removed but was not able to uninstall version 9.0 or (AdAware 11.0 seems to cause problems with Windows 10).  I finally managed using Revo Uninstaller http://www.revouninstaller.com/ and find the program that even this program has no seeAdAware 9.0 installed programs.  After a complete withdrawal of all remaining files and a few reboots and allowing Windows Update to automatically install updates a backlog of orders, the Start Menu is back.  Problem solved.
