What is the best way to install windows 7 on 3 computers at home, all Macs with no previous version installed?

I intend to divide my drive hard while I have both a mac and pc side to get the best of both worlds, but I'm not sure what product would be best suited. As I said previously is for 3 computers that don't have currently no version of windows on them, so I guess the family upgrade would be of no use and I'm not sure whether a House package might be installed on all 3?

The most cost-effective option in your case is to buy copies of Windows 7 Home Premium System Builder. You will always have to spend money, but against the full package of Windows 7 Home Premium retail, its more profitable:

  • 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.

  • What is the best way to install the new version--adobe always let things of the old version

    Hello

    I went through the installation of a new version, well... 8 times before. And I noticed that adobe has the bad habit of not properly uninstall previous versions...

    What is the best way to do it?

    Should I do an adobe install and regular confidence this time to remove completely the old version and its associated directories?

    Or should I uninstall the old version and install a new one? I was always afraid to go this route files bocause Organizer.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Because fortunately, most of the Adobe programs can coexist on the same computer, Adobe does NOT overwrite previous versions

    Now, if all uninstall completely from a previous installation, they would first use the uninstaller in Add/Remove programs. Then, a registry cleaner like CCleaner will take care of all that remains there. But wait, there is more!  For example, PrE, will NOT remove existing projects, which many people feel is a great thing. In addition, pre will not delete the preferences file, and this is why it is necessary to reset the preferences, if there are problems, even after repeated uninstalls / reinstalls. They can be removed manually. These two latter features security measures to protect users.

    Good luck

  • What is the best way to preserve my having iPhoto library merge my pictures of girls with mine that his iMac had stopped working.

    What is the best way to preserve my iPhoto library had fusion - UN-intentionally - pictures of girls with mine as its iMac had stopped working. Some how I have about 48 000 pictures now where before I was about 11 000

    The iMac's hard drive has been deleted in tact and two weeks ago, she bought a new iMac 27' which has only the "Photos" application, but in trying to restore his iPhoto library, it gets about 24% then stops with a po - up window saying "cannot continue due to inconsistancies", that these are we don't know.

    I think using his old h/drive connected via usb to my iMac, I managed to save his library.

    On an external drive, I would like to make my backups that are up to date for a few days so that my photos need to be secured.

    1. Can I remove my iPhoto library and then re - import of my external hard drive?

    2. Can I give my daughter a copy of the "iPhoto app" and install on its new iMac and then re - import photos into iPhoto?

    I copy the library from the back to the top first before deleting anything, in case something goes wrong. You can choose which library to open hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch of iPhoto. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library"

    No. but you can give him the iphoto library and she can open it with Photos.

    This is a very common and classic situation:

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

    Just make sure that your backup on the external drive is ok: you should find a "backup.tly" file in the folder.

    Use the organizer of PSE11 to restore the backup of the PSE7: the first step restores all your multimedia files, the second automatically performs a conversion of catalogue in format PSE11.

    Read the note in the link above on the restoration of XP to the ulterior Win operating system. You can also restore to a location 'custom '. For example in a "C:\My new library" folder. Make sure the main folder is accessible to all users, and if you wish, you can move the catalog (database), itself from this location to the default location: Catalog Manager, ability to move catalogs in location that is accessible to all users.

  • I'll do a clean install on a blank hard drive upgrade but want to keep my Firefox settings - what is the best way to do this?

    Hello

    The best thing for you to do is to make a backup of your Firefox profile. It is a folder that stores bookmarks and Add-ons that you can then add to the reinstalled Firefox on your new operating system.

  • Any transfer on a drive hard new - what is the best way?

    Here's a question simple and straightforward, I hope. I currently have two internal hard drives:

    • C (IDE): OS (Win7), programs
    • F (about three times larger than C, faster, SATA): for most of the multimedia stuff

    (And some external and a dvd burner, which should not be relevant to this question.)

    I ordered a new hard drive, which will take over old job of the F drive. Once I have install and F empty on it, I want to move everything that is currently on C for which is now F and the new C drive I start and run Windows from. (C would also get a new drive letter and would only be used for backup purposes).

    I much prefer this without having to reinstall Windows and all my other programs, and without investing in expensive software of type Ghost I would probably use only once every two years or more. I also prefer not to have to partition F, although I'll do it if necessary.

    What is the best way to do it?

    Windows 7 image and move it to the new hard drive

    The only way to avoid reinstalling programs is in the image of the player. Connect the new drive as a slave (if IDE), then partition the new drive, so it has two partitions (or more if you want) - the last partition being slightly larger, then the amount of data on your current hard drive. Also, make sure that the partition you are moving that Windows 7 is greater, then the current partition is.

    Make now a picture of your current hard drive with either programs below and save it to the last partition on your new drive. If you have the recovery of 100MB partition do not forget to include that. Then restore the image of the partition that you want Windows 7 installed-you put in place the same as long as your current drive, and you may need to remove/change the partitions that you have done.

    Both programs are offered free of charge:

  • What is the best way to transfer the file to a new larger internal drive?

    I am running win 7 ultimate.  I had two hard drives of 500 GB.  C is partitioned to 120 GB (not enough) I just installed a 1.5 terabyte drive.  What is the best way to transfer my data? I would keep the 500 GB (now C: and D :) and add the 1.5 to, I also have a 2 external to that I tried to move my libraries at, but I'm confused my system.)  I don't know much about indexing or mapping.

    \

    Consider transferring all the files that are currently in the second partition of 500 GB drive that is hosting the C: drive (you have referred to as D :) on the new drive.

    Once you have done this, you can then delete the D: partition since this 1 hard drive. This would then extend the C: drive to actually use all the 500 GB drive. Finally change the drive letter for the 1.5 terabyte disk d: it in disk management ( Diskmgmt.mscRun)

    So in the end you have a 500 GB C drive and a 1.5 TB drive D.

    When it comes to move libraries Windows has a utility to do it for you. If you click on your username at the top right of the menu start all your user profile directories are displayed. If you right-click on each one and select Properties, those that support this feature will have a tab 'location '. In this tab, it displays the current location of the file, but has a button "move". You move the folder and all its files and subfolders in a new location and update the references, the system uses for this folder.

    So if you created a folder on the D drive say 'Juli-year' and you right-click on Favorites, some properties, then on location you can move this summary folder in C:\Users\username\Favourites to D:\Juli-An\Favourites. Not all folders in the user profile supports this but all the c library files and a few others.

    Of course if you did as I suggested and ended with a 500 GB C drive you may need.
