Where to download free Windows XP to upgrade a Windows 98 laptop?

I heard that you can download windows xp sp1 for free but I can't seem to find the properwebsite to download on an old laptop which still has windows 98 on it. Tell me where I can find if you know where to get in and download it for free. PLEASE?

Hello

There is no XP free download available from Microsoft.

If you can't find a free download on the Net it is hacked and probably infected by malicious software.

See you soon.

    Tried all day today, 29 July for access to the server to get the free download.

    What can I do (other than to try to do several days ago!)?

    Close the wizard, restart your computer, disable your security software (Antivirus/Firewall), then restart the installation to see if it progresses. If this does not work, try to upgrade manually.

  • code error when download free Windows 10 fails

    Keep Microsoft offer free update of Windows 10, trying to accept this bid failed several times, the error code 80070002.  I have an Asus laptop with, I think, Windows 7.  Thank you.

    Are you ready?

    How are your backups?  Made sure your consistent data (just the things important to you) backups are working correctly and can be restored from?  What your support installation and key product / series number backups - all that sorted and easily accessible?

    Have you checked, while visiting with the manufacturer of your system and the manufacturers of the software, you use most on your computer, all what you have/use/want to use are supported by said manufacturer with 10 windows and discovered that, instead, you need to do to continue the use of a stringer of such things after the upgrade?  Some device drivers upgraded, you need to download?  A software patch?  Uninstall the software before upgrading to Windows 10 and install it once the upgrade is complete?

    You have refined a method of execution to a COMPLETE PICTURE of the right SYSTEM backup before you start the upgrade?  After all the upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 7/8.1 could be likened to move coverage while stand you on it - so it is quite complex and has its risks.  Backup offline during the upgrade (and external) media image full system is a VERY good backup plan in case something goes wrong or - you don't like it.

    You might even want to clean this system some current, make sure * it * is as healthy as it could be before attempting to upgrade.  An efficient and up-to-date system is more likely to result in a smoother experience for an upgrade is as broad as this...  You could look through this previous conversation where I suggested someone clean up their system before the upgrade:

  • where to download the windows xp home edition cd

    My OS has been corrupted, and I could not repair the installation. I do not have the cd with me, but the license is in my laptop. I want to download the cd (or iso image) so that I can fix my laptop OS

    Hello Ratheesh33,

    There is no source of Microsoft for you as a user to download files or installation iso files for Windows XP Edition family.  As such, download XP Home cannot be verified as authentic or malware free and should be avoided like the plague.

    Your post implies that you have the disc elsewhere.  Communicate with friends or family near the disk and ask them to send it to you.

    Or you can order a the manufacturer of your laptop recovery disk, if it is still available.

  • Download free windows

    The sites offer a free copy of Windows 8. Is this legal? You have to pay for Windows?

    Hello originalnameok,

    To get a legal copy of Windows 8 (latest version 8.1) you can buy a copy.  Like most software, there are many illegal pirated copies of Windows autour, but these are illegal.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Where can I download free drivers for a Compaq Presario laptop

    Original title: Download drivers

    Do you know where to download free drivers for computer compaq presario laptop?

    Hello

    Check with Compaq Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask in their forums.
    Other good sources are the real manufacturers such as Intel, ATI, Nvidia, RealTek or that which
    is the manufacturer of the device OEM.

    ==========================================

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - graphics card - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on set to update driver
    (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with
    their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), then the manufacturer of the device
    site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and)
    software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - reset after each
    installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up.
    This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so
    install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and try again if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check manually
    by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

     

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.
