  Hi Allen,.

  You will not be able to install XP on Win 7 using the upgrade disc. You will require your original operating system disk and you will have to boot from the OS installation disc, once installed you can use the disk to upgrade XP on this operating system. Another way is out to install your system disk and the boot of Winxp.

• Is it useful to upgrade ram 8 GB - hp pavilion dv7 - 2043cl?

  I'm looking for some advice about whether it would be useful to upgrade the RAM in my laptop 4 GB maximum of 8 GB.

  I've had this laptop for over 5 years and I use it for games. I wonder if I will notice a difference in performance by simply upgrading the RAM, or if the processor speed, video card, etc., are or will be obsolete in the near future, and if I just save that money and put it to a new computer.

  Here is the technical page of the computer: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01705991

  Crucial lists kit upgrade for a little under $ 200.

  Hello:

  If the 2 x 4 GB memory DDR2 was $60,00 as if it was a few years ago, I would say go for it.

  But now that it's $200 and more, I recommend that you put that money towards a new laptop or a model renovated better than what you have, with DDR3 memory.

  You will probably notice some performance improvement, but not $200.

• .i did not make a full backup, because I bought my laptop. I use win7 Home premium 64-bit

  I checked forums, tried Mr. difficulty, used usb and dvd rom and it still says not enough space and also I can only use tools hp (drive f) or g (dvd player) drive as an option for backup space. Ive tried to change the options for many times... I did a full backup since I bought my laptop. I use win7 Home premium 64-bit.  backup of files recall comes on the other constantly.anybody I have this problem?

  I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum meets for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Three I'm familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 8 years no 1 problem), Easeus Todo Backup free, you can download it from

  http://www.TODO-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm and Memeo , which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com . You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

  The March 2012 issue of PC World is very high on the program FREE of Easeus and I tested it recently in a variety of configurations; and must say that I am very impressed. As Ghost will support up to a network drive and it will create a bootable CD for when your PC does not start. See commentary to PC World to

  CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

  http://download.cnet.com/windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar .

  Some of them are free (the last time I checked there over 300), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

  External hard drives are the best for backup. You can get a 500 GB one for $70 and a 1.5 to one for about $90. You can also buy a flash drive of 32 GB for less than $20. It is the best insurance you can buy ever!

• Can I use a Win7 upgrade version to do a clean install?

  Hello world

  I have Vista 64 bit on a desktop computer and want to upgrade to Win7 64-bit, the arrival of my version of the software upgrade.  It seems that the experts agree most do a clean install is the way to go.  My question is, if I backup my computer and reformat, I'll be able to install the new operating system on the Win7 upgrade disk or if it will not have recognized that Vista was still there and not install?  In this case, do I need to buy a full version of Win7 instead... even if I replace a Vista license with the clean install?

  Any idea would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  Yes, you can perform a clean installation with the Windows 7 upgrade version. Just start on the Windows Vista desktop, insert the Windows 7 DVD click "install now". When the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

• Can I install Win7 upgrade on another computer after upgrade Win8 on my computer?

  Initially, my computer came with Vista installed. Three years ago, I bought an upgrade to Win7 and installed. A few months ago, I bought and installed an upgrade of Win8 on the same computer. I have another computer running Vista, and I was wondering if I could use the Win7 upgrade license to upgrade this computer. Technically, the upgrade of Win8 could meet the requirements with the Vista license on the original computer. I run Win7 on the other computer without having to buy a new license. Is this possible? The upgrade disks are details of Microsoft.

  Yes, it is possible. Because the machine was originally license with a qualification license (Vista), he would take the place of this license, thus freeing the Windows 7 Upgrade to serve elsewhere. So, Yes, you can transfer it to other Vista machine.

• Installation upgrade memory in the new laptop (E8730w)

  I just got my new laptop and was dismayed to see that I obviously have to install the 2 GB memory upgrade that I ordered.  When I'm ready to install it, I will contact HP technical support.  I'm interested in the big picture right now.  The laptop has installed Windows Xp and Vista, stored on the hard drive.  No matter if I use the new laptop for, say, from the user's manual before as I have added additional memory, or is it better not to use the laptop until I have all of the memory (2 GB original and 2 GB upgrade) in place.  I hope that this process will be no more complicated than to install an ethernet card in a years office 5 or 6.  Where can I get good screwdriver to open the module compartment memory?  From my experience, it is easy band, the head of a screw phillips, especially a small head, if there is no appropriate screwdriver.  I'd appreciate any idea on these issues.

  I don't think that no matter how long you use it before you install the memory. Regarding the screwdriver, I use a 41678 artisan to work on laptops with screws Phillips. It could cost $ 1.69 at any Sears and any tech tools for perhaps $15 will be a very similar small Phillips. You will know if you are stripping it, so stop everything. Memory installation is much easier than to put a PCI on a desk. Relax its all good.

• How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?

  A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7.  I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version.  From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7.  I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade.  I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing.  How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?

  Thank you!

  Looks like the copy of Windows 7, you were trying to install from Windows XP Home Edition is a 64-bit version.

  You will need to boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
  http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Some problems of Vista Win7 upgrade

  Hello!
  My OS Equium A100-338 has been upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
  Since what the Toshiba Movie Factory and the Ulead MovieWriter disappeard and now she also does not recognize SD cards. I checked toshiba Web site and I couldn't find the answer...
  I have just the recovery for windows vista CD and I don't know what to do to recover the software (?), and how to solve the problem of SD card.
  I'm just a user and do not understand the ins and outs of computers...
  Is anyone out there that can help?

  Thank you so much!

  Silvia

  I agree with Akuma. There must be a compatibility issue and if these apps n t work it is the price you pay for Win7 upgrade. These additional requests from Toshiba are not downloadable, so what you can do is to use Windows Movie maker or other applications.

  What you can do, is to buy more recent Ulead Movie Maker/Writer designed for Win7.

  I checked the Toshiba download page, and there is no driver for the SD card reader. This means that you can try to use the Vista driver or Win7 update is the only driver.
  Check please the two options.

  No. I posted my comments last year. In our BCP deparment room, we have more than 50 mobile identical to our laptops. We keep laptops in our power to BCP room ON double power supplies 24/24. We can use them once or twice a week and after 2 years, they are in much better shape (all including batteries) than our laptops. We change them every 2 years.

• Is it useful to upgrade the memory on the Satellite M70 - 394?

  Is it useful to upgrade the memory on the Satellite M70 - 394? Where the best place to buy it and what I should go for? How will this affect my laptop? It will void the warranty at all?

  Sorry for so many questions

  Hello

  First of all it s worth it to upgrade the memory for portable computers. The increases in performance and the operating system should work better and faster.
  Well, I checked a few websites, and it seems that it is possible to upgrade the memory on this laptop to max 2048 MB (2x1024Mo)

  As far as I know the laptop came with a 512 MB module. In this case, the second Bank is empty. The memory location is placed at the bottom of the unit. If you want to upgrade the memory to remove the slot cover down and carefully insert the module. I think you'll find instruction how to handle the upgrade memory in the user manual.

  In addition, you can order the compatible modules form the Toshiba service partner. In this case, you will be sure that you have taken in charge to 100% and compatible modules.
