What are my upgrade options after the end of support for XP?

I have a XP computer which I understand will be is no longer supported by Microsoft since April 8, 2014. What can I do to keep the system?

To update this windows 7 or 8, what will be involved? Please advise me

Original title: UPDATE XP COMPUTER!

From Internet Explorer

Computers with Windows XP may not have all the drivers they need to work with Windows 7.  Generally, this lack of drivers results in performance degradation, but it could also mean that some of your hardware do not work. For example, you could move the PC to Windows 7 and then knowledge you can't get on WiFi networks more.  This is just one example.

What you can try is the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.  It will scan your system and let you know if she can handle the upgrade.  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

Instead of direct upgrades, most users just get a new computer.  With Windows XP, be 12 years of age, it might be time for a new PC. But if your still works perfectly and doesn't have a big crash of the upgrade, there is certainly no problem with you this.

  • I will be able to reinstall my windows if necessary after the end of support for Windows 7?

    Original title: windows supports

    Last year, I bought Windows7 Home Premium and it works well so far. My question is after January 2020 (after the end of support) I will be able to reinstall my windows if neede? Also if there is no microsoft activation problem help me right here? Also even if the support of the application ends with its suppliers I will be able to download mse, it's to say & essentials of windows from the microsoft Web site myself since the automatic update is not available? or I'll be forced to buy Windows 8, 9, 10 or 11 at this time? Sorry people I know that this issue is too early and not be worried right now but I love windows 7 and I want to run for life so is this possible? Thanks in advance.

    1. Yes, you will be able to reinstall Win7 using the disks provided with your computer, the rescue disks, you have created and/or the hidden restore partition.

    2. where support for Win7 purposes, take in charge ends (for example, activation problems).

    3. There will come a time where the current version of Windows (Live) Essentials is not supported in Win7 - even if your currently installed version of Windows Essentials may continue to be supported for some time.

    4. by the time for purposes of Win7 support, chances are THAT MSE is no longer supported.

    5. No, you don't will be not "forced to buy" a new version of Windows (assuming that Microsoft is still for sale).

  • When and what can expect to happen to my computer after the end of support for windows XP?

    What is Pageheap?

    The answer to your direct question, when you think that say you, is a Google search away.

    -It is not supported to Microsoft for an operating system you probably have to worry.

    It is your own ability to stay static, I want a computer faster, better equipment, a new printer, scanner, camera, etc.

    The manufacturer of the software or hardware that you use every day will probably abandon Windows XP well before the April 2014 date when Microsoft stops by releasing the same critical patches for Windows XP.

    Their new printers will have only Windows Vista drivers, maybe just Windows 7.

    Their new scanners, cameras, etc. will be the same.

    I don't see the major software companies (AutoDesk, Apple, Adobe, etc.) continues to produce products that would work on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 and what comes next in 2014.

    Everyone always loves to find a single entity to blame for their reluctance to change with technology - but usually it's just the changing world overall - not a single instance of it.

    Having said that - there are many people who still use Windows 98 twelve down on the line.

    They can't see certain things on certain web pages, cannot use certain devices, they might be able to pick up at their local drug/warehouse, even store and using the latest versions of major software packages are probably a lost - cause but they do very well in their microcosm.

    So - it mainly depends on you and your ability to do not change.

    I'll be able to download the updates at the end of life for xp sp3 - after the end of life for xp?

  • Can I still use Windows XP after the end of support?

    I've always found XP easier to use and more effective than the two 7 and Vista and for this reason I have currently no intend to update, even after the end of support. However, to make sure it works please.

    You can still use it but less and less software will be written for it, also there is no update, and if you have a microsoft problem will not be able to help you.

  • Activation after the end of support?

    It will be possible to reactivate an installation of Windows XP after the end of the support in 2014? I intend to keep an XP system to run old programs and worry about what happens if I need to reinstall it.

    When MS XP launched in 2001, they promised that the activation would be available to certain (undefined) point in the future, date at which they would make available a patch to remove the requirement.

    I believe that to be the case.

  • Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

    Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

    If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

    1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
    2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

    Anyone know the answers to these questions?

    Thank you

    You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

    My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

    Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

  • Integrate the end of Support for Win 7 and 8

    While beating around the Internet for some answers, I saw three sites that say your support for current versions of Windows ended January 13 [Download Day]. I missed something?

    Hello

    Standard support is now complete for Windows 7. However, Microsoft will continue to publish updates of security for her until January 14, 2020. This means that there will be no settings/news.

    Integrate support for Windows 8 has not yet completed.

  • BlackBerry smartphone password reset after the end of support

    I have no more phone support.

    My old password does not work.

    I can't get my ID blackberry for work.

    I want to just this device to open.

    This means that you have your employers device, they have you removed from their network and forced a new password to you. You can call to ask what is the password.

    BUT, probably, their intention to reset the password is for you to do a wipe of the device security so that none of the persistent employer email, data, etc., remain on this device.

    After clearing security, you end up with essentially a new, fresh, device with no previous, ready to install as a personal device data.

  • Activation of Windows after the end of support

    The question is what will happen with the activation of windows once microsoft stops supporting windows vista or other windows like windows 7?

    For example, that I will continue to use vista for older games and software, but sometimes there is no need to reinstall if something is wrong (I had problems with the updates and reinstaled vista, after that it works well). And my scanner is not scanning software for windows 7, so I need old Windows.

  • How to free the memory after the end VI

    The data is collected once in a loop and added to a table of data. The collection was completed after the loop ends and a data table was built. In the end, the data has been written to a file. The program ended naturally. I guess that all the variables are erased from memory after the end, but it wasn't. If I run the program twice without closing, I have a set of newly collected data added to the 'old', which was created in my last run. A third series has been added if I run it once more.

    I just want to keep the last function as my data and I don't want to close the program to set all my settings to similar races. How to do?

    A sample file is attached.
