  What is the best operating system, Windows 7 or Windows 8?

  Night1

  I have to say I'm a fan of Windows 8, not looked back since the upgrade of my laptop at home a few months back. The initial setting is quick and painless, the interface is really clean and simple to use, and there are also many other benefits.

  I found this article online, which talks about reasons why you should go:

  Why you should switch to Windows 8

  I would certainly invest!

  What is the best strategy to migrate data from Windows to one Mac to another? I use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on my current Mac but want to use Bootcamp on my new.

  If it is only the data (not apps) I use Dropbox. It turned out to be the best way to move things between the side Mac and the bootcamped Windows of my iMac side. I don't see why it would not work to move data from a virtual machine installation of Win to a BootCamp installation.

• What is the best way to transfer pictures from an old computer to a flash drive or a drive back then to a new computer?

  What is the best way to transfer pictures from an old computer to a flash drive or a drive back then to a new computer?

  The easiest and most reliable I've found is to make the direct drag-and-drop method.

  (1) on the old computer, open your Windows Explorer and go to your photos.

  (2) open another Windows Explorer window and access your 'Computer' folder and in your flash drive

  (3) drag the photos to the flash drive.

  (4) take the flash drive on the new computer and drag them into your images folder

• My CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

  My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
  Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
  I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
  PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
  During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly.  In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
  Can someone help me please?
  Best regards

  Besides what abdelhak says:

  The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  Hope this helps,

• What is the best way to install XP on Vista Equium A100-338

  I want to install XP on my Equium A100-338, who has already installed Vista. What is the best way to do it, I heard a lot of bad luck stories trying to do!
  I do it only as a new software, with that I need to work only works on XP.

  Any help appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion, you must install the XP operating system on the second partition.
  In this case, you can use the two BONES; Vista and XP.

  Using these two s OS has many advantages. For example, you can always test the Vista and the new Microsoft features that are available in Vista and, in addition, you can use the XP if you need to run some programs and applications that are not fully compatible with Vista.

  Then first ask how o create a second partition in Vista.
  Well, this can be done in disk management. Right-click on the my computer drive management made right click on the disk to manage and modify the size of the partition.
  Then the free space on the HARD drive can be activated, and you can create the new partition.

  Then simply boot from Win XP and install it on the second free partition.
  The Toshiba drivers needed should be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  Good luck

• What is the best suond of quality I can rip a cd with windows media player, which can be read by itunes

  I'm putting my windows media files in iTunes to play on a stereo system.

  I am after the best quality possible and do not want to be caught in the trap in appleworld but there is very little ipnut devices that support what anyone else than apple.

  I also have a Samsing Galaxy SII I want to play music.

  I, therefore, plucked a few CD in windows media player using WAV (lossless) format.

  When I try to add a folder to library in itunes songs appear under unknown artist and I can't recognize the format.

  Anyone know what is the best quality download I can do which can be dealt with by media player AND iTunes?

  Thank you very much.

  John

  Why use iTunes AND WMP AND a Galaxy? Use one of them.

  The reason for which you you hide it all under "Unknown", this is that wav files are not encrypted when you ripped them. You must add the titles to the hand. However, your Galaxy will not be able to read them.

  You could rip as mp3 at a rate of 320 files - negligible loss of sound quality at a high rate, or as a file flac.

  You can use a codec for WMP for files flac and I don't know if iTunes can read - I never use it for reading. Check the plug on the Apple site. Yet once, however, the Galaxy cannot.

  However, they can read mp3 files, as can your Galaxy (I have a). To transfer files to the Galaxy its recommended to use Kies software (available on Samsung website)...

  If you were to use a program like AudioGrabber (Google for it, its freeware) coupled with the Lame codec (follow the links on the site of AudioGrabber) then you can rip from CD directly to mp3 at a rate of 320 that WMP + iTunes + your Galaxy can read.

  Hope that waffle above is clear,

  See you soon,.

• Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional and I have a few questions?

  I'm about to upgrade to Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit, but I'm very nervous (stupid - I know).  Currently I have Vista on a SATA internal hard drive, but is planning to install Windows 7 on my much bigger and 2nd inside SATA hard drive, which currently has no importance to this subject?

  1. Is it possible to install Windows 7 on an internal hard drive with Vista on another?  I have no intention to use Vista more so once Windows 7 installed will not need to keep if it is possible to do.
  2. Assuming that I can install Windows 7 on disk more while Vista is a smaller, I cause operational problems by removing Vista once Windows 7 has been wing not unhooked?
  3. Assuming the above is possible I will be able to "faithfully" copy/move/import (not sure of the method - help please) users existing file structure and data from the old files of user profiles of Vista on the smaller disk to the new files in user profiles Windows 7 on disk more nothing lose or create compatibility problems?
  4. If not, should I just stick with the installation of Windows 7 over Vista and use the larger 2nd disk to store users.  I chose this option will data being stored on the disc more to maintain its security between users.  That is, if Winodws 7 is intalled on the smaller C drive and I connect like me, can I keep my data of user on the 2nd drive internal more all ensuring that other users cannot access the data just by accessing the 2nd disc via "my computer"? I hope that makes sense!
  5. It is even possible to store data of the user safely on another drive to the operating system, but still maintain user security principals / separate secure?
  6. It is possible to install Windows 7 on the 2nd largest drive I can (before deleting Vista) user folders simply drag - move in new files of the user, I create in Windows 7 or is it more complicated than that.  (I'll try to find the simplest method to keep user files structures and existing Vista and import/copy/move data in new user profiles in the new operating system).

  Sorry for all the questions but the family counts on me to get it right.

  Show stopper, is that you can do a upgrade in place of a 32 bit OS (Vista in your case) to a 64-bit (Windows 7 64 bit) OS, you must perform an installation "Custom"and clean. "

  This means that you should backup your media files data external 9to) before starting and reinstall all of your applications after installing Windows 7 64 bit.

  Question: Did you buy an "Upgrade" version or the "full version" of Windows 7?

  Regarding the drive to use, either will work, but the procedure is different.
