• Can I restore the backup Windows XP on a new computer with Windows 7 COA and upgrade to Windows 7?

  Original title: upgrade question.

  I currently have a PC running XP in a system with an IDE drive. The system has many applications that the company has moved the installation discs, so I need to move the contents of the entire disk to a new system. I was about to do the following:
   
  System backup with a recovery boot disk, in this case a USB.
   
  Restore the entire operating system to a new system that will have a SATA drive in it. The new system will have a COST for Windows 7.
   
  Start the XP and upgrade to Windows 7.
   
  My question is, will it work or the absence of the COA of XP on the new system will prevent me to install?
   
  Any help would be appreciated.
   
  Thank you

  Short answer, "no, this will not work."

  It is unclear what you mean by 'backup' and 'restore', but it seems that if you are referring to the creation of a disk image or a clone of disk on an external drive and then either restore the image or cloning to the new computer.  Assuming that both of these computers was provided with Windows pre-installed, this process will almost certainly result in a facility that cannot be 'activated '.  In addition, unless the software you use has something like Acronis Universal Restore, restore the image from your old computer to a player in a new computer with a different hardware simply will not work.

  In addition, the lack of an XP license is not the issue.  There are several problems with the process you describe, but basically, an "upgrade" from XP to Win 7 requires a "custom installation" which means that applications should be re-installed.

• VMWare Fusion 6, after upgrade cannot copy and paste between virtual machines, desktop missing files

• Successful upgrade to VMware Fusion, but no printer in Windows 7

  No problems with the upgrade, however no printer not appearing in Windows 7.  I turned them on in VMware Fusion.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  I also stumbled upon this problem on two VMS, but subsequently solved.  The VMWare Tools installer is not install ThinPrint software in Windows.  What to do is to run the VMWare Tools installer again and choose the "Edit" option when you are asked if you want to change, or repair the installation.  You will then be presented to a tree of elements that can be installed or removed.  Select the one with the '+' next to him and you will see the ThinPrint option with a '1' yellow next to her.  Just click the icon and choose install and all the necessary parts (to paraphrase here).  Continue with the installation and restart your virtual machine.  After that, all printers must be there, as expected.  This is the procedure which worked for me on both x 64 Win 7 installs.  I hope this helps everyone.

  I would never do an in place upgrade of Windows XP to Windows 8 on a Virtual Machine!  Instead I create a Virtual Machine from Windows 8 and install directly Windows 8 by using the upgrade of media!   Take a look at: Clean install Windows 8 with upgrade media

  If you don't want to do just like first of all, I suggest and want to fix the Windows XP upgraded the Virtual Machine, do the following in the parameters of the Virtual Machine.

  Under system settings > General, change NAME and OS Windows 8.

  Under removable devices > NIC > advanced options, click on remove the network card.

  Click the device to add... and select the network card, and then click Add.

  This should fix the gaps between the default Windows XP network card settings and the settings of the network adapter in Windows 8.

• VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments

  At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed.  If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.

  1. Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
  2. Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
  3. Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
  4. Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.

  I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected.  Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem.  This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.

  1. Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
  3. sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
  4. Restart comments

  A few quick thoughts:

  1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS.  This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest.  Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS.  Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest.  It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.

  2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.).  Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help.  Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.

  See you soon,.

• VMware Fusion 5 and Yosemite

  Hello

  Does VMware Fusion 5 support Yosemite Mac OS X 10.10.4?

  I just upgraded from Mountain Lion, but when I tried to run a virtual machine that was working on the Mountain Lion, I get "could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory."

  Thank you.

  Hello Yu Chun-Pong,

  The answer is 'No', and follows the answer a little longer...

  I'm sorry to inform you that Fusion 5.x does not work under OS X Yosemite.

  5.x end merger of general support was on 23/08/2014, before the release of Yosemite.

  You can watch the Matrix of Life Cycle of the products for the exact dates.

  It is highly unlikely that VMware publishes an update to a product that has been withdrawn.

  You can roll back to Yosemite to the Mavericks if you wish to continue using the Fusion 5.x or upgrade to a newer version supported.

  If you want to test the latest version to see if it is worth your expenses, you can install and run a fully functional version of 30 days before actually committing to spending anything.

  After 30 days, you purchase a license to modify the merger installed in an unlimited version.

  For the assessment of the merger's direct download link

  In addition, you can also choose to run the Tech Preview, but don't realize that--although normally very stable – there is no guarantees with preview/test software.

  The Tech Preview is here: VMware Fusion Technology Preview 2015 [ARCHIVE]

• VMWare Fusion 7 and still no USB 3 drivers...

  I'm a little disappointed that even after upgrading from 6 to 7 that I get always no VMWare USB 3.0 native support is Windows 7...

  I don't know if they have it works for Windows 8.1 but certainly, it does not work for my main Windows 7 VM.

  The case is really technical over an entire year, it would not be implemented in 7? Help me understand.

  Disappointed...

  P.S. If anyone has found a solution, please you intrigue me.

  kungfuu72 wrote: help me understand.

  This topic has already been covered ad nauseam!

  The bottom line is Windows 7 not delivered with the native USB 3 support for skins, and Microsoft has not provided any service pack or upgrade to Windows 7 to other native USB 3 support.  Therefore, it is a matter of Microsoft not a matter of VMware!    VMware choose that support the native functionality of the OS and Windows 8/8.1 provides the native USB 3 support of skins and as such VMware support USB 3 in Windows 8/8.1.

• VMWare Fusion 6.0.2: Mavericks - Windows 7 Clipboard sharing does not work

  I'm running a MBP, OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks), VMWare Fusion 6.0.2 with a Windows 7 VM. The elements copied to the Clipboard in one are not properly shared with the other. I went in every parameter I know to try to solve this problem, no dice.

  All known solutions?

  Hi Brad,

  1. click on the menu Virtual Machine-> settings, then click on the button of isolation in the Panel settings, Pls, make sure that the two check box (enable D & D, caillet &) and checked.

  2. If the boxes are check, have you already tried to install VMware tools by clicking on the Virtual Machines menu-> reinstall VMware Tools? Can drag you a file from the Mavericks to the Windows 7 VM? No sharing of Clipboard does not work when Windows 7 has just started and no other application does?

• VMware Fusion 5 and Boot Camp 4

  Hello

  I experienced performance problems in programs related to the guest operating system (Windows 7) 3D in VMware Fusion 5 (inside OS X Lion mountain). I had to install Boot Camp 4 to do my job.

  Could you please tell me if I'll be able to use my material directly when I start my disk to Boot Camp with VMware Fusion?

  I would like to know if install VMware Tools don't mean anything?

  I still can use my Boot Camp separately from time to time (with complete equipment of available resources).

  I running everything maxed-out MacBook Pro with the Retina display.

  Thank you

  Could you please tell me if I'll be able to use my material directly when I start my disk to Boot Camp with VMware Fusion?

  Generally material only between a normal file based Virtual Machine and execution of the partition Boot Camp as a Virtual Machine's hard disk.  With a normal file base Virtual Machine to the default hard drive is virtual and with execution of the partition Boot Camp in a Virtual Machine uses the physical volume of the physical disk.  The rest is no interpreted differently, whatever issues you work around native-boot will always be a problem when the Virtual Machine running the partition Boot Camp in a VM as if it was a normal file-based.

  I would like to know if install VMware Tools don't mean anything?

  Usually without however you really have no choice but to install VMware Tools running the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine or WPA/OPA will be an ongoing problem when switching back.  VMware Tools will manage the permutation of the WPA/OPA database between two environments after Windows and Microsoft Office (if installed) are enabled in each environment.

  I still want to be able to use my Boot Camp separately from time to time (with means complete material available).

  You will be able to do.

• AMD/Intel Graphics switchable and upgrade to Windows 8

  Hello world

  I know that many HP Pavilion DV6T-6100 Quad Edition Entertainment laptop owners might consider the upgrade to the new Windows 8 operating system platform. DON'T DO IT!

  I just bought and installed the official version of Windows 8 Pro o my laptop Pavilion DV6T, which came with Windows 7 pre-installed. I had followed the whole windows 8 preview of the incompatibility issues with the graphics driver fiasco switchable HP for some time. I decided to wait to install the official version of the new OS when it was released on October 26, 2012. I bought and applied the upgrade of Windows 7 to Windows 8 last night.

  I thought I'd call HP this morning to find out when they have planned out an official HP Switchable Graphics driver update to resolve incompatibility issues that many HP users have experienced after the upgrade to Windows 8.

  • They've said, in no uncertain terms, "they have a driver available for this problem, but switchable graphic users would have to pay $200 for the reader and have their technical support engineers to apply."
  • He also told me, "HP has no plan to release an update to the free rider problem, so anyone who decided to upgrade to Windows 8 will have to pay support of $200 to fix."
  • I got also said, "my warranty does not cover this update, not being hardware related and related software."

  I paid over $1,200 USD for my laptop model HP Pavilion DV6T-6100 CTO, less than a year ago. Switchable graphics on this laptop was actually a selling point for me, as well as many other owners DV6T. I find it a very irresponsible business move for HP handle that many of their customers in this way. No other manufacturer of the laptop charges their customers for updates, while their product is still under warranty. I work in it and I'll make sure that the HP brand is avoided by everyone that I know in the future. HP has ceased to be one of the best manufacturers of PC, regarding their support for the customer, to be the ABSOLUTE WORST!

  Every computer I've ever owned was a HP, but I will never buy another PC of this society, ever! It is a promise that will be preserved.

  Switchable graphics users per HP: HP has a compatible driver Windows 8 update available, but it will cost $200 more than the price you already paid for your computer and its security.

  Hello Asebeba,

  My solution to the problem is neith, supported or recommended by HP.

  It is well known that HP released several categories of patterns DV6t. It seems that they knew they were going to get rid of the graphical configuration AMD/Intel switchable by the end of November 2011. Which is a not keep from seeling as of soon to become obsolete DV6t models that have been do with the soon outdated AMD/Intel graphic switchable setting possible. However they they built a little more of these models after their passage of OEM to Microsft Windows 8.

  This means that it has supported HP DV6t systems with AMD Switchable graphics, which came the same factories that built our systems, but are running Windows 8. These systems have newer versions of the AMD HD drivers that where fate to the DV6t users whose system supplied with Windows 7 pre-installed.  What are these systems including switchable graphics are incompatible with the 'NEW' Windows 8 and windows 8.1 operating system platforms.

  I could give you the exact name of the HP driver for your switchable graphics special configuration that would work flawlessly on your system, but wouldn't you get anything good for me to do. Because of Windows 7 HP Framework installed on your system. You still have questions, try installing updates later than those offered by HP.  HP would also remove any meantion that I would do whatever it is that they offer and which did not come with your system.

  SP59850

  As far as I know the latest AMD/Intel driver is offered by HP which works with systems built by them with Windows 8 x 64 bit preinstalled.

  Merger of Treexy pilot would be required to uninstall all previous versions of display drivers that you have on your system.

  You would also need to disable the Windows 8 and 8.1 automatic update of device functionality. (Go to: settings/PC Info / Protection of the system / hardware / device settings)

  Once there,

  Select: "no, let me choose what to do."

  Select: "never install driver from Windows Update"

  Apply also to the: Action Center settings (settings / control panel / Action Center / change Action Center settings)

  Deselect "Device Software" (Yo can also deselect 'Windows Update')

  Do not worry! Is not disable Windows Update function. It simply avoids messages from receiviing to update your display drivers that work very well. Do these two things also get rid of this triangle of peskyyellow that appears on your display drivers in Device Manager.

  Unistall old drivers display and software. Then, install the latest version of Windows 8 of the package AMD/Intel HD Graphics Driver availible for your particular display configuration. I will also not allow HP Support Center to automatically install the device drivers on your system at this time. In addition, most systems that encounter this issue with display drivers and windows 8 are no longer under warranty anyway.

  You will have no additional problems running, use or configuration of your HP AMD/Intel graphics switchable on your, shortly after you bought, card HP DV6t system with AMD/Intel switchable graphics.

  No Beta Leshcat driver not required to use the only feature you spent all that money for.

• MOBO replaced need to reload Windows, can I go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7?

  Crashed my MOBO and I'm trying to replace the mobo and processor to upgrade the system.  I was running XP and is considering upgrading to Windows 7.  Since I have to reload Windows XP and the loss of everything on the hard drive, I plan to replace the HD.  Can I go directly to 7 or what I need to load XP first and then upgrade?

  First, you must decide whether to buy Windows 7 as an upgrade CD or a full commercial license holder.  A full retail version costs more than a version upgrade.  However, if you buy Windows 7 with full commercial license, you will avoid potential problems, as there is certainly no need to re - install Win XP.

  A clean install is always preferable to an upgrade, and in all cases, it is not possible to upgrade directly from Windows XP to Windows 7.  Even if you use a CD 'upgrade', you will need to perform a "Custom" or new installation of Windows 7.  A custom installation replaces not only Windows XP. It also replaces everything on the hard drive.

  In the past, you can use a CD to upgrade - to perform a new installation of a newer operating system.  For example, if you inserted a CD with version upgrade of Windows XP, the process could find a precedent (and real installation of Windows 98).  If this search detected Windows 98, the CD would be upgrading Windows 98 to Windows XP.

  If the search has not detected a previous installation of Windows 98 (on a new hard drive or recently formatted), it could prompt the user to insert his old CD of Windows 98.  After checking the validity of the Windows 98 CD, the CD 'upgrade' would continue the installation of Windows XP - as a new installation.

  According to the Microsoft website, all editions of Windows XP are eligible for an upgrade to Windows 7 - so if you use Win XP on your PC, Microsoft recommends that you buy a package labeled "Upgrade".  However, I don't know if the previous procedure will allow you to perform a new installation of Windows 7 on a new hard drive.  If this isn't the case, you might need to reinstall and validate Windows XP first, simply to confirm your eligibility for the upgrade version.
