• What are the upgrade offers to Windows 8 if I bought Windows 7 last year?

  Hello

  I have a windows7 home premium pc, and I came to know that you have some high-gradation offers to do so in windows 8, but on the site it is said that it will offer to those who bought a pc after June 12. Unfortunately I bought last year. is there high-gradation offers I can enjoy...

  Thank you.

  The only upgrade offers available for PCs purchased before June 2, 2012 is the upgrade $ 39.99 for Windows 8 Pro, which is still significantly cheap compared to the full price to upgrade.

• Using the media update for windows 7 (from vista), can I now re - install 7 via the clean install option, even if it is the path I have chosen when first installing 7 first?

  With a 7 upgrade version (not the full version) I could not use the upgrade option to install 7 on Vista, because it asked me to uninstall 2 programs that would not work in 7 with installation before you begin.  I couldn't do it because my Windows Installer is missing on my computer. (In fact, I couldn't even run the Windows Upgrade Advisor before proceeding with the installation because this program must be installed on your computer before you can run) So, I chose to use the custom installation and it worked fine, except that my computer is now worse than with vista. Thinking that it was because he kept all the vista files (windows.old) I deleted this file, but he did that give back me my hard drive space. I would like to make a re-install using this same version upgrade disc, but I've heard that I can not do a clean install, if the original operating system is not currently on the computer (using the version upgrade 7, not the full version), and I guess that's is more on my computer with the exception of fragments which I affect 7 performance. If this is true, what should I do? If I have to go to the full version, is there a way I can just pay the difference between what I already bought and version complete, or will lose money that I spent on the upgrade version, and buy the full version outright? Bottom line is this:  I want to just Vista on my computer for GOOD!  I don't want something that looks even left of Vista on my computer. I'm sacrificing all my programs to do it with a clean install, but it's better than all the headaches, I got Vista! Thanks in advance for all you can give me advice.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• 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 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

• What is the file path for Windows Live Mail storage files in Win7?

  I had to save my old C drive and reinstall the OS and now I can't find all my e-mail folders that were under the "Storage folders" section of WLM.  Please tell us where the program records those so I can copy this folder.

  Also, where are the stored so WLM Contacts I can do the same thing for that.

  WLM is delivered with a default section called "storage folders".  They are different from where the Inbox stores the messages, you can check in the section Options/Advanced Options / Maint.

  This is the folder called storage folders is, too.

  Still looking for the answer to where the contacts are stored.

  Which varies according to the version of the program. In the last (WLMail 2011), they are in a database in the folder called C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Contacts\Default, where C:\ is the drive operating system. You won't be able to make use of all other folders next default one.

  Questions about contacts in Windows Live Mail its place in this forum. You must give your version of the software when you post it. In WLMail to find, has press on ALT - H. If that does not show you the version and number generation, press escape twice, then press Alt - F B.

• What are the asterisks on FrameMaker xrefs imported from an xml file?  label cross reference *.

  I think I have a problem in my cross-references and hoping that there is a simple-minded answer (as I do something real dumb). I import the generated content of xsl and references appear in square brackets by * asterisks. If I double-click on a reference, it seems to open the appropriate file (may be an xml file before saving any files to fm docs).

  THE FOLLOWING XML CODE:

  < CrossReference XRefID = "IDapplications_tb" size = "fm:Fig - Tbl-Ex-Proc # on"

  "page #" srcfile="./CPU-1_Introduction.fm#IDapplications_tb"/ >

  HERE'S THE RULE:

  /*

  * Reference element

  */

  element "Reference" {}

  FM reference element "reference";

  "XRefID" attribute

      {

  is the property of fm cross-reference id;

  is the attribute of fm;

      }

  attribute "format".

      {

  is the reference property formula fm;

  is the attribute of fm;

      }

  }

  In the FM wysiwyg format, it pops up something like this (with the asterisks):

  Text label *.

  What do the asterisks mean? Thank you

  Your XML specified

  format = "" fm:Fig - Tbl-Ex-Proc # on page # ""

  but the model used when you open the XML file does not contain a cross-reference with that name, then format FrameMaker created for you with a few fake definition.

• 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?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor?SignedIn=1

  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)

  Thanks in advance and more power for HP... My brother for your business works if all goes well I have not made a mistake in buying HP products... But so far so good, a few small bumps on the road as I call it...

  Unfortunately, you can not.

• What is the upgrade process to Windows 7 Ultimate from Windows 7 Business Pro

  I saw on the Microsoft Website I can go to Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate with Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade.

  How can I upgrade Microsoft Business Pro to Windows 7 Ultimate.  It may be on your Web site, but after 2 hours of searching, I can't find, thank you

  I don't want to waste money to buy Windows 7 Anytime upgrade and not sure it will work.

  Have you looked at this link to see if it is really interesting to do? There is very little difference other than Bitlocker and change languages.

• 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.

  XP Home and Professional are identical except that professional
