What is the difference between a parallel installation or repair installation or a clean installation of Windows XP?

I'm about to reinstall Windows XP from my old CD and once this is done, I'd like to update to SP3, which if I understand correctly, I can move on without SP2 SP3, because my old cd called for SP1a. Good on this I am one? I would like to know before starting the process.

Thank you

4600i would be the model number.

Is it safe to assume that computer is a Dell Dimension 4600i?
EDIT: I think that it came with an 80 GB hard drive. You have the original hard drive? What's major?

  • What is the difference between the stop and restart?

    What is the difference between the stop and restart?  I feel that stopping closed all processes, completely erases RAM memory and clears the cache of the processor.  I need to know if 1) this is a correct assumption and 2) which is better for daily maintenance of the system.  Thank you in advance.

    Hello Jeremy_1976,

    Your support when the judgment is correct. Basically, it stops the process and completely turns off your computer. Reboot, however, temporarily your PC stops, then turn it on again. This happens usually when Windows updates are installed. After installation, the system is restarted (rebooted) so that any update has been successfully installed and works as it should. You can be a little mixed upward the reboot and the hibernation. Reboot is, as I have indicated previously, basically a reboot of your machine. Ultimately, your PC is on again after a reboot. However, hibernation, stores all data currently in memory in a special file, then the PC turns off. When you then turn on your PC, that is, coming out of hibernation, hibernation files is used to restore the status of the PC than when you initially put into hibernation. In other words all the programs you had open before will automatically open and be ready to use hibernation.

    Hibernation or sleep for that matter is for short-term use. It is normal in Hibernate, or sleep if you want to be away from your PC for half an hour or so. If you leave more than I suggest you stop completely.

    A point to remember about hibernation is that, if you use put into hibernation, you can't, once you get out after hibernation, install programs or updates. You have to stop and restart normally to do.

  • What is the difference between a version of MAR and the software win7 INKL?

    * Original title: MAR v INKL

    What is the difference between a version of MAR and the software win7 INKL?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What exactly you're talking about when you say, 'Version INKL of Windows 7?

    I'll be happy to answer your query, however, please explain more about abbreviation INKL. There is a version called Office of ink that is used in the Tablet PC.

    Here's the other version of Windows, you can make reference to:

    MAR - Microsoft Authorized Reacondicionador

    A new PC requires a version of windows with a new key license installed if purchased from a manufacturer.

    A refurbished PC is allowed to use an existing product key (2nd hand if you like) as long as it is always delivered with a certificate of authenticity (COA). This is referred to as MAR (Microsoft authorized Reacondicionador) which means that Microsoft allows to use existing keys/licenses products.

    Buy a version of windows means MAR technically you buy a second hand copy - being however, software, so it comes with COST, will make absolutely no difference at all.

    N and KN editions

    The features in N and KN Editions are the same full versions of their equivalent, but do not include Windows Media Player or other technologies related to Windows Media, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker because of the limits set by the European Union and South Korea, respectively. The cost of n and KN Editions are the same as the full versions, as the Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N and Windows 7 KN can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.

    Generations of VL

    VL builds work with VLK (volume license key). Volume license keys can be used to activate multiple installations of the software without a mechanism (for example, a product activation mechanism) controls the total number of facilities. The license for the software is going to impose restrictions on the use of the key. In general, the license will limit the key to a certain number of facilities which must be only the Organization of the licensee and also to place the holder under the obligation to keep a record of the number of facilities, hold confidential and perhaps even require that the holder organization makes available for a software license check check that his use of the key is in the terms of the license.

    Please let us know what exactly are you referring to when you say version INKL of Windows 7, so we can further research and answer.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • What is the difference between software rendering vs made gpu

    original thread: made software vs made gpu

    What is the difference between software rendering and rendered GPU "graphics accelerated" in Internet Properties?

    "Software rendering" depends on the CPU to generate the elements of the screen. The problem is that the processor is busy doing other 'stuff' at the same time, which could slow down the screen painting.

    "GPU rendering" leave a large part of the display of drawing to the graphics card. In theory, this can be better/more quickly if you have a graphics card in high power for several reasons:

    • the GPU is not as busy as the CPU that does "everything".
    • GPU is optimized for graphics, is not CPU (CPU must do more calculations)
    • several GPU is designed to treat the graphics commands in parallel, CPU only son them
    • GPU has dedicated memory, it doesn't have to share with other apps based CPU

    1. What is the difference between win 7 pro DSP OEI DVD and the pack OEM or normal Full we learned normally?
    2. does DSP OEI DVD comes with CD of instalation?

    These versions are for small integrators (DSP = 'partners in enforcement service'), which usually contain a single Windows (1pk = 32-bit or 64-bit, not both as in commercial versions) and an OEM preinstallation kit to preconfigure Windows and/or integrate additional tools (OEI = 'Installation of Original equipment' or 'Integration organizational environment'). They have the same limitations that versions OEM = license is tied to the computer where the operating system has been installed initially and not transferable in case of death of the machine.

  • What is the difference between codec primary and secondary codec in cts-3000?

    Hello

    I'm a novice on telepresence. This community is only a place to resolve issues for me.

    What is the difference between codec primary and secondary codec in cts-3000?

    I know the primary function of the codec. but I don't know exactly of secondary function of codec.

    Help me please.

    Hello

    On a CTS 3000 system, you have 1 codec primary and secondary 2 codecs. Secondary codecs are responsible for the camera left and right and view the connections. They communicate the main codec via an Ethernet cable.

    Here is a guide to the installation of a CTS-3000 so that you can see the routing of cables.

  • What is the difference between the model and its clone in VMware?

    What is the difference between the model and its clone in VMware?

    Clone

    A clone is a copy of the virtual machine.

    You can't convert back the cloned Virtual Machine.

    A Clone of a Virtual Machine can be created when the Virtual Machine is running

    Cloning can be done in two ways: Clone full and linked Clone.

    A full clone is an independent copy of a virtual machine that shares nothing with the parent virtual machine after the cloning operation. Continuous operation of a full clone is entirely separate from the parent virtual machine.

    A linked clone is a copy of a virtual machine that shares virtual disks with the virtual machine of parent on a regular basis. This preserves disk space and allows multiple virtual machines to use the same software installation.

    Cloning of a virtual machine can save time if you are deploying several similar virtual machines. You can create, configure, install the software on a single VM and then clone several times, rather than the creation and configuration of each virtual machine individually.

    Model

    A model is an original copy or a reference image of a virtual machine that can be used to create many clones.

    Models can be turned on or edited and are harder to change than usual of virtual machine.

    You can convert the model to the Virtual Machine update model base with the latest released patches and updates and to install or upgrade any software and still convert to template to use for the future deployment of Virtual Machines with the latest patches.

    Convert virtual machine model cannot be performed, when the virtual machine is running.  Only the Clone to the model can be performed when the Virtual Machine is running.

    A model offers a safer way to preserve a virtual machine configuration that you want to deploy several times.

    When you clone a virtual machine or deploy a virtual machine from a template, the cloned virtual machine resulting is independent of the virtual machine or the original model.
