What version of windows do need me? do I have to become a repairer of microsoft?
Hi, I have a few questions that I have answered as and would be very grateful for any help and advice.
I run a new small computer repair shop and was trying to get my head around the legal requirements for installing windows on client computers.
If I build a system from scratch, I realize that an oem version is authorized to install.
What if a customer comes into the store with an old XP machine and wants to install Windows 7? Do I have to purchase the full version?
And finally what if someone wanted to downgrade from windows 8 to wins 7 new should I buy the full version.
Buy full versions of Windows is expensive is there a way around this. Become a repairer of Microsoft would help. I am currently a single trader and wanted to avoid registration as a limited company, which is a requirement I told myself for the program reacondicionador.
Thanks in advance for any help...

You can buy the full retail or a license of Windows 7 upgrade details for the machine. If none is in stock or available, then next best option would be the OEM System Builder License, which has a few limitations of license, but is not a problem to use.
And finally what if someone wanted to downgrade from windows 8 to wins 7 new should I buy the full version.
Yes, you can buy a Windows 7 full version license. Free Downgrade rights apply only to computers that are preinstalled with Windows 8 Pro.

Probably, but you can navigate with the OEM System Builder that is a little less expensive licenses.

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-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 except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

What version of windows do need it to upgrade?
I couldn't upgrade my windows 2000 to XP or anything newer. I started to use firefox because it didn't slow down my computer and exployer I never liked. If I update the Flash Player do you recommend it will slow down my computer? I would like to know before upgrading.
http://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/ seems to say that Windows 2000 is not supported by the current versions of Adobe Flash player.
Older versions of Adobe Flash are precarious, and it is not recommended to continue using them on all Web sites.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/Flashblock/ allows you to play only desired Flash instances by clicking on it.

What version of Windows I have?
What version of Windows I have? I can not also read the sticker because it is worn out and the laptop will not completely start or repair, recovery disks are lost. Part number is readable bbut paert looks like:
Can I use any dissk installation of re - install no matter what windows I had pre-installeed.
the laptop is a HP G61-110SA laptop
THX
Hello
You probably don't need to know what version of Windows, but the Panel of configuration/system will tell you if you are interested. There will probably be a sticker on the laptop (not the one that you can not read, under the cover near the mouse pad), which you said, but I guess you could have peeled off.
Look at this link for how to do a system reinstall...
In addition, if provided with the laptop or you recovery disks burn them for yourself these should also do the job.
Before do you a re-install back up your data you can restore it later. You will also need to re - install the software that was installed after purchase.

What Version of Windows Media Player I have, and anyone who has used AVS4YOU?
First of all, I would like to know what version of Windows Media Player I have on my 32 bit Vista computer.
Second, I bought AVSAudioConverter and asked if I wanted to install Windows 11 runtime files. Should I install these runtime files, or just try it without having to install these files?

I have a laptop / Tablet Toshiba M700 with Vista Business. Toshiba support told me that Windwos 7 will support my Tablet/handwriting recognition capabilities but not Windows 8. What version of Windows 7 is what I need?
The Tablet features are available in all editions of Windows 7 except the Starter edition. Given that you cannot upgrade Vista to Starter - as far as I know, you need not worry. ;-)
Determine what you need by other factors:
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions#Comparison_chart
If you have "Vista Business"--> to make a direct upgrade without loss of settings/software installed (for the most part-in any case to make backups - be smart on this topic) you need to get one of the following editions of Windows 7:
Professional, company, full
... and since it is unlikely that you will get a copy of 'Business' for your personal system (hypothesis- but you doesn't look like not you upgrading a bunch of them, nor did the expression to make me think, "IT staff"...) you would need one of these two editions:
Professional or ultimate edition

Good luck. Don't forget to download and have ready all your drivers for hardware devices made for Windows 7 by the manufacturer of your computer (Toshiba) and/or manufacturers of individual components to install after having upgraded. Non - Microsoft did not or they take over your hardware somehow - they made the operating system, he returned to write drivers that interface with every operating system they wish their device working properly on the manufacturers material and up to the end user to install in a scenario such as the one you are proposing to us business.

How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?
A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7. I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version. From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7. I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade. I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing. How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?

Thank you!Looks like the copy of Windows 7, you were trying to install from Windows XP Home Edition is a 64-bit version.
You will need to boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7:

To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.
You will receive the following warning:
The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK
The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.
Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

Windows Storage: what version of windows and updated to reflect later
Hello
I am very new to Windows storage space. I have a few questions:
1. what version of Windows is the best (only for storage purposes): 8.1 Windows Client, Windows Server R2 Windows Server 2012 Essentials 2012?
2. in the scenario that I have only 1 HDD now for this. My ultimate goal is to have a mirror put in place when I could buy another drive. Is it possible to go game now and add another disk to mirror later? Do I have to re - format the drive being installed with the new disk mirrored do? Any instructions somewhere?
Thank you
Bao.
This system, which is used for? Business with several users who connect or personal?
That would certainly answer your questions...
Personally, I still hope an array of material on all the rest. Just as software RAID could you create a mirror RAID with through previous editions of products 'professional or better' Windows - space storage is always based software. ;-)
With the help of Google:
https://www.Google.com/search?q=use+storage+spaces+to+create+mirrorProbably, that's what you're looking for (according to ISO how you asked, etc.):
http://www.howtogeek.com/109380/how-to-use-Windows-8s-storage-spaces-to-mirror-combine-drives/
... and...
http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-8/create-RAID-like-data-backup-using-storage-spaces-Windows-8/
Not to complicate things. It is really as easy as adding the physical drive and selecting the one-way glass, given what you have so far.
Of course - backups should always be verified (image of the system if possible) before doing anything. While you might lose data by READING this for various reasons - you increase the risk when you start to play with the data in real time. ;-)
