• Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

  Setup of Windows 8 consumer priview

  Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

  You can see this message if you downloaded Windows 8 64-bit and XP 32-bit. To start the installation of Windows 8, you will need to restart and boot from the installation of Windows 8 media.

  If you want to keep your current installation of Windows, you can install it on a separate partition and dual boot with the Windows 8 Preview of consumer. To install on a separate partition and dual boot, you must create and boot from the installation media.

  (1) first you will need a free partition on hard drive - if you do not you can shrink a partition and create a new one to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer on.
  To reduce a partition and add a new one that you can use EASEUS Partition Master (free):
  http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
   
   
  (2) to install on a separate disk, you can perform an installation DVD or USB key, then boot from it so you can choose the other partition. To download the ISO file and install media:
  Download Windows 8 consumer Preview ISO:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/ISO
  After you download the ISO file - use the Windows USB/DVD Download tool to install media:
  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
   
   
  (3) installation on a separate partition for dual boot:
  1 make a DVD or USB installation drive - to see the two options above.
  2. start from the DVD or USB install drive and click on install when prompted.
  3. during the installation process, when asked - choose a custom installation.
  4. Select a free partition on the hard disk to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer - this will install Windows 8 on a separate instead of your current Windows partition partition.
  5 continue with the installation.
     
   
   
  First of all please note:
  1 consumer preview Windows 8 is a pre-release and will only work for a limited time - when it expires, you need to remove it.
  2. the overview of consumption is stable and has been tested, but it s not the finished product. Your PC may crash and you may lose important files. You should backup your data and you shouldn't test Windows 8 Preview of consumers on your primary home or business PC.
  3. If you install the preview of consumption on the Windows partition is currently installed, you cannot uninstall the preview of consumption. To return to your previous version of Windows, you will need to reinstall from the recovery or installation media supplied with your PC.
  4. in addition to dual boot, here are a few methods to install Windows 8 Preview of consumers without affecting your current installation of Windows:
  (A) remove your current hard drive and install the Preview of consumers on a spare drive.
  (B) install it on a spare computer.
  (C) install the Preview of consumer in a virtual machine.

• Windows XP - Home Edition: what is the administrator password? Or how to find / change (OS is OEM - only have not disk) _

  Windows XP - Home Edition - SP3.
  Is there a way to know what administrator account password?

  Standard mode:

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

• Windows XP - Home Edition (issue on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen)

  Lost my bar of task/start button at the bottom of the screen. Tried ctrl + esc. Any suggestions?

  Lost my bar of task/start button at the bottom of the screen. Tried ctrl + esc. Any suggestions?

  The taskbar is resizable, like a window, and it can be set to zero

  lines of ups. Maybe that's your problem, and fixing must be the

  first thing you should try. You may have accidentally resized to

  zero lines of ups. Place the cursor on the bottom of the screen and pass

  it upward and down slightly until it turns into a two-headed arrow.

  Click on, and then drag it to the desired size.

  If this does not work, it may be zero lines high on another facet of the

  the screen, try the above on all four sides.

  Finally, if none of those working, go to

• Cannot install Windows xp home edition OEM on the new Macbook Pro

  Hardcopy of XP OEM Home Edition was initially installed in my office, but the PC broke down and I bought a Macbook Pro laptop. However, could not proceed further after necessary press as the rest blue window configuration screen always with no response. Called APPLE helpline and they said probably resulted from the OEM software.  I think I should be able to re-use the software again.  Probably because he's connected to the my desktop PC.  Therefore, it is possible to unlock the product key of my desk, so that I can download on my laptop.  Please advise as soon as possible.

  Non - OEM is only on the FIRST machine that installed a single use. You cannot transfer to another machine.
