• What are the requirements to load Windows 7 DSP on an existing PC

  Hi people,

  I have an existing PC on which I wish to install Windows 7 OS DSP/OEM.

  What is the minimum requirement of the material that I need to upgrade to remain legally compliant?

  Some retailers to group the DSP version with a hard drive or a mouse. Is that enough to comply with the requirements of the permit in the DSP/OEM OS?

  I would have thought that the requirement would be a new motherboard at least.

  Anyone who can shed some light on the obligation to legally charge the DSP/OEM OS on a PC of exisitng?

  Thank you

  It would seem that I am not clear.

  I know that the hardware requirements to run Windows 7.

  The contract of specific DSP/OEM that this version can not be used to upgrade the operating system to an existing PC.

  Do I have to replace my existing system while it is considered a new PC and I can then legally load a DSP/OEM operating system.

  I don't know how to put it any clearer than that.

  As with any OEM license:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades with the exception of the upgrade to an different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• IMAC being run on 10.6.8. but what are the upgrade options

  I have growing issues with 10.6.8 running for example music controller Sonos, Safari with Google browser compatibility, etc.

  My iMAC10.1 has Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 3.06 GHz with 3 MB of L2 Cache and 2 * 2 GB of DDR3 memory

  So I need to upgrade but at what level and what make the difference in the system configuration required, functionality and compatibility with other software?  Where can you get the software from and how is this - I recall a quote from Apple for a free upgrade to one of the most recent operating system, but at the time was not interested.

  I use Microsoft Office 2008 and wish to continue

  I use extensively in molding and iPhoto iTunes

  I sync my Apple iCal and address book with Google

  I use Eye TV 3 (worm 3.6.8)

  I use Automator to synchronize my mobile photos in iPhoto via Dropbox

  I use (worm 6.0.6) iSyncr to sync my music Galaxy S6

  I have a few other apps, but I could live without them if necessary.

  I guess what never updated, I do, I'll have to do a system back up but how do I do that - I have a 1 TB external harddrive but formatted it my laptop, so I guess I should change it, whether I use it or is it possible this partition so I can use it with windows and MAC OS.  Spare my MAC HDD built in 1 TB and currently using 411 GB

  Advice on options to upgrade and save very welcome process.

  It's a long question with a long answer, so here are the main things that you should consider before the update...

  1. all power PC based applications is more run in OS X 10.7 Lion or later version. The most often affected app (launching Lion) was Quicken. To find out exactly what apps do not work anymore,  > about this Mac > system information. On the software tab, click Applications. This should show what 'type' of applications you have. Whatever it is based on Intel will work while Power PC don't either not working or require an update, as is the case with Microsoft Office.

  2. you can upgrade your RAM. I think that your computer comes with two 2 GB sticks, for a total of 4 GB. It is usually more than enough because each OS X updated as the Lion needs only 2 GB. Remember that RAM can age just like car tires and sometimes it is better to replace the RAM you have. You can always install a more recent OS and see how it works and then decide to install RAM later. You can use sites such as RAM Crucial or you can buy directly from Apple. Crucial is much cheaper and delivered their RAM quickly. They guarantee also the RAM will work and provide a computer "scan", you can download and it will tell you what RAM to buy. I have used this site for 3 different Apple computers and don't have any problems so far. A computer is a MacBook in 2006 that still works!

  3. do your research. Contact the manufacturer of the software that you are concerned about. Office 2009 should work fine as long as it is installed on the computer before update you. Once the update of the BONE occurs, you will have a relatively large update for all Microsoft Office applications to make them compatible with the new operating system software. The Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Bridge, etc.) has had some problems in the past, but I think it works fine now.

  All the built in Apple apps update automatically and ask you to "update your library." This may take some time, but is a matter of time. Automator and Dropbox still work as well, but drop-down list will need updates. I would check the Web site of the manufacturer for your other software as I am not familiar with all of your programs.

  Note that iPhoto turns Photos if you update to Yosemite 10.10.3. This is a brand new application and some people don't like him because he is different than iPhoto. Personally, I think it has the same features, it's just different. Also iDVD can no longer be installed on a computer that is updated to OS X Lion. If iDVD is installed before the update, it will continue to work as expected

  4 Time Machine backup. Yes, you want to back up, and Yes, you can use your drive current external hard to to do. But there are a few hiccups that you need to treat it first. In order to use your external hard drive for Mac and Windows, you will need to format the external hard drive to FAT32 using disk utility. THIS ERASES ALL CONTENT ON THE EXTERNAL DRIVE. So, if you want to format the drive, you'll want to play everything on the hard drive first.

  If you want to know formatting the external drive for use with Time Machine, see this articleand follow the steps for a volume of start fail.

  Note the types of format: Mac OS extended (journaled) should be used with Macs isn't FAT 32 for Mac and PC and MSDOS FAT is for PC only.

  To start initial Time Machine backup, see this article.

  5. Finally, your computer has a 1 TB hard drive and your external drive is 1 TB. In theory, you want to use a disk backup that is twice the size of your hard drive, or at least twice the size of current data on your computer (in your Go 411 cases). Use an external 1 TB drive for backup of 411 GB of data should be good for awhile, but eventually, it will fill the external drive. If you partition the external to work with Windows and Mac OS X, it fills up even faster since there will be less space dedicated to the Mac. Honestly, I would erase the external drive set up using Mac OS extended (journaled) and use it exclusively for Mac backups and then buy a second external for use between computers. It is better to have a single external drive for Time Machine, and it is preferable to use the Mac on FAT 32 format when using Time Machine.

  I hope this helps. You have many options on your plate. Ultimately the decision to upgrade is yours. I've always updated because I like having the latest and greatest and I have not had too many snags, but you will get a different answer from different people.

  Good luck

• What are the requirements to install Windows 7?

  Updated Win XP to Win7

  I can install Win7 on a computer that has the card video Intel 82915/GV/910GL, 1.5 GB of RAM, 80GB SATA, network adapter Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet and SoundMAx integrated Audio?

  Click on the link above, download Upgarde Adviser and you will get your answer.

  The full versions are also better, if you do not have your CD of the XP operating system and that you must do a clean install, that you will not be able to simply update.

  An upgrade is not a full version and requires the current version installed to operate.

  However, with both versions installed, it will be all features as a full version.

• What are the upgrade options (memory, video, audio, etc) for my HP Mini 210-4022 YOU?

  Are there options to upgrade for my netbook HP Mini 210-4022 YOU?

  I'm hoping to hear that there is in the following categories and their corresponding limit for upgrades:

  - internal memory (currently 2 GB of DDR3 memory, as far as I know, but am sure it's 2 GB), I want that this more general if possible

  - graphics card (integrated Intel, I know it is soldered on the motherboard but maybe, just maybe? a upgrade?) Some games I can't play and having problems with simple games and apps that should not be a problem in the first place as PlantsvsZombies because the latest drivers cannot Martin play this game and other games as well and I need to uninstall the drivers of the said... Is that how it supposed to work backward rather than forward? But I hope I can improve this...

  - audio (but that's fine, I have beats just want to know)

• What are the disadvantages to download Windows 7 Home Premium from the U.S. instead of the United Kingdom?

  Activation

  My PC vendor failed to provide me with a product code, so I can't activate Windows. This forum told me I have to buy another copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The cost of the software during the purchase of the United States is much less expensive than when purchased in the United Kingdom. Is there any disadvantage when downloading the product of the United States?

  It will work very well in the United Kingdom, there are no geographical restrictions on activation outside the United States.

• What are the benefits should the software Intel offers compared to Win zero configuration

  (Satellite M60, Intel 2200BG)
  A few months ago Intel released new software WLAN (a major problem for the security, etc.). Initially, there was a memory leak problem, but he was soon fixed. However, they always seem to be a resource hog: there is the CPU usage in the Task Manager on the cob of 10 to 20% every 5 seconds all the time, also WIFI turned off & off, overall performance is affected - this can be seen for example in the tests of hard drive.

  I noticed that in order to use windows to configure WLAN & then kill two switching processes (iFramework, S32EvMon (?)) eliminates this activity.
  Recently, new Intel drivers are offered by Toshiba also, so I'm about to reinstall them with the option "drivers only".

  Anyone know what are the benefits should the full Intel software offer compared to Windows zero configuration?
  As far as I know, monitor event S32 is supposed to improve coordination Intel WLAN and LAN, working together.

  The new package is about 50MB in size, while the former was 2MB.

  Hi Sammo

  You have already preinstalled new driver? The package is really about 50 MB and Intel PROSet utility.

  I can tell you that offers software Intel the same configuration options of Windows. Maybe Utility Intel PROSet is friendly and kind but designed WLAN Windows settings by using, you can exactly the same.

  If you have more info on the download package and installation please let us know.

• What are the drivers, I need to connect to the internet for a GT5432 of operating Windows XP and not Vista?

  I asked before, but try to reformulate my question. In my opinion, it miss a driver I need or have bad installed. (of the re - install after a storm)

  Charter, my I, said that there is a problem with my drivers or the Ethernet connection. I installed a new Ethernet connection-SMC1244TX. Still no connection.  I called SMC customer support number - they me Charter connected - which gave me the number to the catwalk, who want to $99-149 to ask a question because it is not under warranty, because someone changed the Vista to Windows XP, I thought I found the download for the correct drivers, but when I put my flash drive on GT5432 - I was not able to get the files-now I can't locate the download again.

  So what are the real drivers that I need on the GT 5432 operating Windows XP so you can connect to the internet?

  I just skimmed the old thread. It's too long. I think you should have stayed there.
  This has probably already been given to you in the old net but that's...
  Go to http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=downloads.doSearchCriteria&localeCode=EN_USA&productCategory=9&modelNumber=1537&partNumber=0&downloadType=1&knowsPartNumber=false and download the driver. You will need your card, part number. He also says it's a SMC1244TX-1. Don't know if it's the same thing as what you have.

  I can offer help any more than that. If you need additional help, go to the old thread.
