Use the HP upgrade wizard disk?

Have seen a few posts that it is better NOT to use the HP upgrade wizard disk. Have seen the messages the disck Upgrade Wizard disables some programs/features and all the necessary drivers are available on the HP site.  Instead, we should just update directly from the Windows 7 disc.  Should you use the upgrade wizard disk?

ewrayjr,

The upgrade wizard will uninstall some programs that are not compatible with Windows 7 and the replacement by versions of Windows 7 compatible, for example Norton Internet Security.  It will contain also most (if not all) of the drivers that you will need for your PC.

The upgrade wizard is highly recommended for a smooth upgrade process.

  • Use the Express Upgrade product key to Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home premium to Windows 7 Professional.

    Original title: Win7 pro anytime upgrade/Win XPmode.

    I just installed Win7 64 bit Home Premium (Retail) on a new PC.

    There are a few applications that works properly (or at all) on the new Win7 64 bit PC. (they ran OK on win7/32 and XP/32)

    I wanted to try and install on win7/64 PC XPMODE and run these applications from there, when I tried to install XPmode on the win7/64 home premium, the only choice who would have even tried to install was Win XPmode 64 bit (but of course, all this was doomed to failure because XPmode requires Win7 Pro).

    I have a 32 bit (Retail) win7 which has been upgraded with anytime upgrade to Win7 Pro.

    Can I use the Anytime Upgrade prod. key at least temporarily (I know that this license is for 1 PC ONLY) update the new Win7/64 Win7 Pro, install XPmode 64 bit to see if these applications will run on a 64-bit XP?

    If it works I'll tell you how to disable the worm on the old PC Pro and use it on the new PC.

    DRM for any help

  • Theme not copied when using the application creation wizard

    Environment: -.
    Request Express 4.2.1.00.08
    Oracle 11 g Enterprise 2
    Browsers: Firefox, Chrome and IE

    Problem: -.
    We store themes standardized in a fictitious application for use in the development of new applications. We no longer seem to be able to copy these themes in an application when you use the create application wizard. A completely different theme is copied to the new application than the one selected in the wizard.

    Process: -.
    The steps in the wizard to create an Application are: -.
    Step 1 method - database
    Name of the step 2 - accept default
    Step 3 Pages - accept default values
    Step 4 shared - components check the "copy shared components. Choose an application with several themes in there and let "User Interface issues".
    Step 5 themes of components shared - select a standard theme by default, validate Yes
    Step 6 attributes – accept the default values
    Create the Application.

    The copied into the shared components in the new application is theme 26 productivity, not the theme selected in step 5. Productivity 26 theme was not a theme in the original application. In other tested environments, 21 Scarlet has been copied to the new application (even if 21 Scarlet does not exist in the original application).

    I can reliable reproduce this in a number of different test and development system, using different browsers. I can reproduce the problem on apex.oracle.com using a sample application as the source application (although if you select theme 25 you will need enable validation off in step 5 theme 25 will not be successful validation due to lack of a model of login page - which seems to be a separate issue).

    Is this a problem known elsewhere, is a generic problem in 4.2.1?

  • I use Win 7 Upgrade Wizard with retail Win 7?

    Hello!

    I have a copy of the tune upgrade that came with the upgrade for my HP Pavilion desktop computer. I'll be updating my HP DV4-1140GO with an upgrade to Windows 7 retail of Ms.

    Is the universal HP Upgrade Wizard, which is can be used with any HP computer (desktop or laptop)?

    It will work with a retail upgrade disk?

    Is this a good idea?

    Thanks for your advice.

    More than likely it will not be. The upgrade wizard is specific for your desk top drivers are concerned. Some software may be accessed and used for your laptop.

    If you want to upgrade to another version of W7, go to the control panel and find Windows Anytime Upgrade. Everything is left in place, and all you have to do is to enter a valid product key for the version you want.

    If you want to get rid of HP bloat-ware, then it is much easier just uninstall everything and then go to the road you expect.

    I can help you with what you need to uninstall to tilt your device off.

    If you go to W7 from Vista, I would like to know if this is what you are thinking, and I can help you with that also. There is a right way and struggling to do.

  • How to upgrade to windows 7 64 bit, when I have Windows XP 32-bit by using the version "upgrade windows 7."

    I had been using windows XP 32 bit before decide me get windows 7. I have read around and thought you could buy the "version upgrade of windows 7" and go for 32-bit windows xp to windows 7 64 bit. Unfortunately, when I got home to do a clean installation of windows 7, I received an error message when I put in the 64-bit and says that the disc is not compatible with my current windows. I called Mircrosoft and they told me that with the version of windows upgrade 7 "" you can't go from 32 to 64-bit, that I would need to get the full version of this one for $200 here in the Canada. Unfortunately, at this time, I have the product installed and running. I'm a bit disappointed in this light my 6 GB of ram go lose and not to mention my $120 I spent. So I wanted to know are another that blow $200 for full windows 7 and lose my $120 on the updated version, is there another method to get the 64-bit? Because at this point, I am at a total loss.

    You can go from 32-bit XP to Windows 7 64 bit by doing a custom (clean) install with an upgrade version disk.  You don't need to buy a full version disc.  But you can't start from the upgrade disk.

    I don't know what you have installed now.  If XP is installed, turn on the computer, insert the DVD upgrade after start XP and follow the prompts.  This method might also work if 32-bit Windows 7 is installed.  If not, maybe to re - install XP to start the upgrade.

  • I need help to retrieve my hard drive using the recovery of Neosmart disk (it takes days)

    To get a better perspective, I'll tell you the history of what has gone wrong.

    What happened is that the computer has a virus and it changed some coding on the computer. When this happened to that my computer wouldn't let me enter my account and the only account that I could go on was the administrator account. I tried on a few websites and the other microsoft Web sites told me to do something with the command userinit or something like that, which led to the black screen of death that I managed to fix it on my own.

    Another website told me to use the recovery disk but like a lot of people that I don't have a recovery disk, I only had a reinstallation disk that said I could fix the computer, but it would delete all hard disk that I didn't, I need the intact files because they are important to my family.

    Then I discovered on the recovery disk that you can buy from Neosmart.com and this disc is made like the original Vista recovery disk. Anyway I bought it and I clicked on "Automatic repair" and it comes up with 2 dives eligible for recovery (it says at the top) a player is 10 GB and the other is 288 GB (it says active is the 288 GB we) I clicked on repair automated on one of them, but I don't remember. Apparently fixed it (coding I guess) and I restarted but no consideration was there. He says "Please wait" for a long time, then it comes up with a single account that says "User" I click it and it says user name and password you will need to connect to a computer at school or something. I put my username and password anyway and it does not of course and it comes up with "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.

    So, I went back on the recovery disk and I so I click on system restore to get my stuff back and I can put it on a previous date until the virus has arrived and I click on it, then it is said that his recovery, files, but just like that, I let him recover and he was recovering for 3 days before I came on this site and tried something but it did not work. Like I said before it is 288 GB so I guessed it would take a long time to recover only the amount of data, but it seems just silly.

    Could someone please help me with this with words that I can identify the disk recovery Neosmart.com please

    Important additional information

    I said before that I don't remember what I have fixed drive, the thing is that there might be I have set the wrong drive, but to be honest at this point, I feel like if I do a movement without knowing what it will do, im going to lose what's on that hard drive

    Important files are not for work, they are files containing family photos of many years we couldn't print on paper of good quality printing. There is no other copy of these pictures and I really want to keep them, even with my parents.

    The recovery of Neosmart disk contains the following options

    • Auto repair
    • Score editor
    • Browse/Backup of files
    • Internet browser
    • Launch the command line

    Within the Automated repair is where you can get the system restore. The others you can kind of guess, if you want to know so just ask.

    Help, please

    Thank you

    To recover the photos, you can remove the drive and it slave on another computer (you can get very cheap external envelopes) and remove your data (you have just learned an important lesson in why you need to have backups).

    Once you have saved your data, your best bet would probably be to reinstall. A good Web site for the removal of malicious software is that one.
