-Vista Basic to Windows 7 - easy transfer old and new laptops

After facing a lot of difficulty with the Vista and bluescreen mistakes, now I changed the idea of keeping vista more. Got a new laptop from Dell with Windows 7.

Now again, the problem is, when I tried to use the transfer via the cable, the program responds to microsoft and the Service Pack update. Considering that, my vista update does not appear any new update available from the windows update menu shortcut start. I followed the instructions as stated, but again and again, I wonder the service pack update.

I visited the Microsoft Web site to download the stand-alone software for this purpose. Is it specific to any other software available for transfer easty, that it installs old laptop with Vista Home Basic?  If the service pack is available for this specific update separately, I'll download it from microsoft and install it. I have woul like to get the good link for the same thing.

Just for your info, I give below details of the old & new details of the laptop:
Old - Compac Pressario C500, Vista Home Basic,
New: Dell Inspiron 1440, Windows 7.

Grateful for your advice on this.

Thanks and best wishes,

TRS Iyengar

    Hello

    Vista to XP is a downgrade!

    After installing XP, did you get XP drivers on HP website? See...

    http://WWW8.HP.com/UK/en/support-drivers.html

    .. .to locate your particular model, then download and install the XP drivers (if there no, no guarantee if your PC comes with Vista originally).

    I tried the model number you gave, but there are 41 possible matches, so I think that pv6000 is a "series" rather than a specific model number.

  • Windows Vista to Windows 7 easy transfer

    I tried to use the simple Windows for Windows 7 easy transfer to transfer files on my old laptop (Vista 32-bit, SP2) for my new laptop (Windows 7, 64-bit). I downloaded the WET and I get the message "Windows Easy Transfer has encountered an unrecoverable error. Please restart application. "Tried several times. However, even though I have uninstalled/reinstalled the patch, I still get the same message.

    I noticed that several people have posted the same message; but, unfortunately, I've yet to see a resolution. Please notify.

    Hello

    ·        On what version of windows, you get the error message (Windows Vista or Windows 7)?

    ·        Where do you get this error message (when you try to install the easy transfer Windows or when you try to transfer data)?

    Method 1:

    If you get the error message during the installation of the application on the Windows Vista-based computer, try to re - download the app and check if that helps.

    George George P Botuwell, programmer

    Hi George P Boutwell,.

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    I think that VMware has a 64-bit/function version. You will need to contact them to verify this.
    64-bit to 32-bit is not supported by Windows Easy Transfer, as far as I know.

    I hope this helps.

  • "the password is incorrect" after using Windows 7 Easy Transfer

    The problem is that the 'password is incorrect' after using Windows 7 Easy Transfer.

    I've already studied this problem on the Internet and in online forums.  A lot of people seems to have the same question/problem/question.  Noone has a solution.  Several members of the staff of Microsoft technical support provided responses which do not solve the problem, explain what is happening, or were intended to solve the problem of evil.  For example, many responses were that political Microsoft does not provide assistance when retrieving passwords.  OK, but this isn't what is asked for.  There is a problem and it would be good if someone has recognized that there is a problem and - at least - it is being researched if there is not already a solution.  Anyway, as many have already asked, here is my point of view trying to find a solution to this problem:

    Used Windows 7 Easy Transfer to move user accounts and files between an old 32 bit Vista PC to a new PC 64 bit Windows 7. The transfer was made on a network without using an easy transfer cable. There is no errors during the transfer and user accounts on PC Windows 7 seem to be transferred correctly. Once connected to a user account on the new PC, opens a window titled 'Migration of protected content'. Text indicates that the protected content is transferred and request a password to be entered in a password field. I entered the PC Vista user account password, but the password was not accepted, and this error message is printed "the password is incorrect". All the transferred accounts had exactly the same problem, even if the original Vista PC account password has been entered correctly.

    Studied this problem on the Internet and a suggestion to solve the problem is that the password requested is the STEM of simple transfer is used to start the transfer. I have re-transferred from user accounts and entered to the STEM of easy transfer when windows 'Protected content Migration' asked a password. Always to receive the same error message "password is incorrect" on all user accounts.

    You will need to determine what password is requested. In my view, it should be the original account on the old computer password, but perhaps the easy transfer ROD. If it is not what should it be? If it's neither of the two, which? If it's the original on the old computer account password or easy transfer ROD, why aren't these being accepted because I tried them both. Once the correct password is available, is it possible to open the window of 'Protected content Migration' to enter the password without having to use Easy Transfer to transfer the accounts?

    Finally, what is the protected content that is transferred? How will I know what it is?  It doesn't seem to be something missing in the accounts of user who is easily visible by me. If the protected content is not necessary then not being is not able to access may not be a problem. Because I don't know what content is protected, I have no way to assess if not available is important.

    Pegasus,

    What password? The Windows logon password? Yes

    Have you tried to log on as an administrator? Yes

    Or using your database password key USB key file? No, but why?  I know what are all passwords logon and they seized everything correctly.  Again, the question that must be answered - by someone who knows - what password is asked?  Why are all the suggestions "try this or try that."  Nobody seems to be able to tell which password is requested or why.  What is the protected content that is transferred.  I don't think that there is nothing like DRM content on the original system.  Why this request appears?  Anyone know?

  • Windows easy transfer to a new computer with two flash drives

    I've updated a computer windows vista to windows 7 and I used easy transfer to transfer files and the user account. I had to use two flash drives to save files due to the lack of space on the disks. now, my problem is that when I run easy transfer on the new installation of windows 7 only allows me to transfer what is on the first hard drive, but when I put the second disc and try to run easy transfer.

  • iTunes does not support Windows 10 modern watches over tablets and newer laptops

    Hello.

    Since Windows 8, there is a new mode called available standby connected standby (Windows 8), InstantGo (Windows 8.1) or modern (Windows 10) from the previous day.

    Tablets with Windows and newer laptops use modern sleep every time instead of old standby mode when firstly, it turns off the screen and after a while CPU turnes off (S3 mode AFAIK).

    Computer works now similar to a phone in a Pocket, you can listen to music or get a call (Skype).

    Here is the description for developers on Miscrosoft MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt282515.aspx

    Developers need to make their applications compatible with a modern Eve, otherwise application does not work while the unit is in standby modern.

    There is a Microsoft Groove app installed music on my book of Surface with 10 Windows, he can play DRM iTunes media, and continues to play when the screen turns off.

    12.4.1.6 iTunes seems to be incompatible legacy applications because it stops to play my music if I let laptop intact for 5 minutes.

    I tried to explain this to a phone Apple support, but they told me that this isn't a problem with iTunes but Windows and I need to get in touch with Microsoft instead of Apple.

    I can't use my subscription Apple same music in music Groove as a solution because it is unable to read the DRM from iTunes m4p files, of course it can not directly access cloud Apple music too.

    Is it possible to transmit this information to Apple?

    I don't understand why Apple let iTunes must be installed on Windows 8 + because actually it works terrible.

    For example, it can not switch audio speakers headphones and vice versa (while other applications that correctly), there are also some problems of video output, sometimes also the iTunes window receive a second bar tiny minimize / closing maximise controls, also the search field sometimes loose the keyboard input.

    Developers need to make their applications compatible with a modern Eve, otherwise application does not work while the unit is in standby modern...

    I tried to explain this to a phone Apple support, but they told me that this isn't a problem with iTunes but Windows and I need to get in touch with Microsoft instead of Apple...

    Is it possible to transmit this information to Apple?

    Oleg,

    Support staff does not normally deal in development issues, so it is quite likely that simply, they did not understand the question.  To report it directly to Apple, use the comments link:

    http://www.Apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

    When you send feedback, try to be as clear and objective as possible.

    iTunes has a huge population of Windows users, so I don't know that apple is interested.

  • I CS5.5 Master Collection and you want to transfer to a new laptop.  The CS5.5 was an update for CS3 Design standard and I have all the disks and serial numbers.  I just uninstall both programs a laptop and install them on the other?

    I CS5.5 Master Collection and you want to transfer to a new laptop.  The CS5.5 was an update for CS3 Design standard and I have all the disks and serial numbers.  I just uninstall both programs a laptop and install them on the other?

    You can do it, but you don't have to install cs3 in order to install your upgrade of cs5.5.

    You can launch the installation of cs5.5 and you will be asked your cs5.5 serial number.  Setup will ask you then select the product (in a drop-down list) calling.  Select cs3 and you will be prompted for the serial number for cs3.

    Enter the correct number at the right time and to proceed with the installation.

    If you no longer need these programs on your old laptop, disable (help > deactivate) before uninstalling so that you can keep your two activations.

  • Running the old and new Vcenters simultaneously on the same San

    We spend VSphere 4.1 to 5.5. We are very weak with only 3 hosts running about 20 comments of the virtual computer on a San.  Our former VM VCenter is always on Win 2003 and I am changing as well.

    So instead of doing an upgrade from 4.1 to 5.5 and convert the former vcenter 4.1, we decided to simply fill out a brand new VSphere 5.5 installation to a new server we have.  We have also installed a Vcenter 5.5 new appliance as well. So, essentially, we have installed two different vcenter, old and new running.  Then, we plan to move hosts esxi 4.1 existing in the new Vcenter device manually.   Then eventually fly over the guests of a host in the new box and then wipe and reload each older host with 5.5

    So I've already finished the first half of this project.  But I have a question.

    During the passage of Windows VCenter 4.1 to the new host esx and VCenter Unit 5.5. I run two VCenter (ver 4.1 and ver 5.5) simultaneously for a short period of a few days.  We're still running on the host 4.1 old and the new vcenter 5.5 running on the new esx host 5.5.

    We will walk a host both the old VCenter and will be added to the new Vcenter 5.5 appliance.  But I'll share my SAN alone of course. If I do this and the two versions of VCenter (old and new) running at the same time and sharing my data SAN even stores at the same time, are there problems with it?  I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

    I installed the first new esxi host and I pointed out to my warehouse of SAN data without any problem. And data warehouses has appeared as they should.  But when I add the new host for the new VCenter, as part of the installation process, it displays all relevant San warehouses.  I thought it was weird to show during the 'Add host' vcenter.  Are there restrictions to running two VERSIONS different VCenter simultaneously on the same data warehouses?

    Thank you.

    HMorris

    You can have multiple instances from running in the same environment vCenter server. What you need to take care of, it's that the ESXi hosts that share the same warehouses not have access to each and other virtual machines (i.e. do not add VMS to multiple hosts). Keep in mind that only VMFS3 data warehouses are available in two versions, do not pass the VMFS data store to VMFS5 when running always hosts v4.1.

    > as part of the installation process, it displays all relevant San warehouses

    That's ok. When you add a host to vCenter Server it will show that all connected, as well as the VMS data warehouses that are stored on this host.

  • Old and new picture in a picture

    Hi, I have a question about my college professor had previously showed to me. What it showed me was A PICTURE of herself when she was very young and next to it was a picture of herself when she was older and leaning on the younger version of herself. It's a little confusing when I explain, but its basically the old and new sound mixed in an image. What I thought I was crazy, it was when she showed us a picture of herself when she was older in terms of touching when she was younger. I would do this for my brother and his gf for Christmas. I am a major Digital Media Arts and am currently taking a class of photoshop, so I don't have an idea how to go on this issue, but not entirely!
