Why do I have to pay to upgrade windows xp to windows 7?
Why do I have to pay to upgrade windows xp to windows 7?
Windows XP is an operating system Windows 7 is another operating system entirely, so you have to buy Windows 7 or an upgrade to upgrade from Windows XP (if your computer is able to upgrade that is).
It's the same system for the majority of software manufacturers. A new version, then an upgrade is required that you pay.
Before you buy your upgrade to Windows 7, make sure that you run the first upgrade advisor to see if you can actually run Windows 7.

I think to change from a PC to a Mac. Should I purchase a new compatible version, Lightroom Apple, can I switch to it, or can I do it without I paid for the PC version?
What Keith said, to be more precise, you can install the same version of Lightroom for which you have a serial number.
If you want to change the version say LR 4 to 5 LR, you will have to pay for the upgrade.

There was nothing but silence from Adobe on this issue. Oh yes, they only said not to upgrade to El Capitan.
We just released 6.4/2015.4 Lightroom which solves the problem of strap Nikon with Lightroom running on Mac OS 10.11.
Please see Lightroom CC 2015.4 / 6.4 available

Why do I have an account Hotmail and Windows Live Mail? What is the difference?
Some time ago I had a problem getting into my Hotmail account when a transaction has been by Microsoft. It did not recognize my passwords and told me I tried too many times to do so I plugged the support staff who said that I only had not provided them with enough information to reopen my account and they told me to open a new. I did it. Then I found a Windows Live Mail account on my computer that had my old Hotmail top messages. I didn't open this account and it don't did me not a password, when I saw the icon and clicked it open. Now, I had this account which was again Hotmail messages sent to my old account but name to send e-mail messages, I got to use my new account. I was confused, but agree with that. Now, however, the Windows Live Mail is asking for a password and I have the same problem I had before.

Satellite P300 - upgrade Windows 7 could not be done.
Hello
I have a problem to upgrade Windows Vista Edition family of Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit. I followed the upgrade process includes the 3 parts of the Guide to upgrade Windows. Part 1 was successful, but when I was doining part 2 (insert the Microsoft Windows 7 upgrade DVD) I get an error message upgrading to 64-bit could not be done.
Now, I have installed Windows 7 with 32-bit on my E: partition. But this isn't what I want and what it should be. I want to update my Windows Vista 64-bit Edition of Windows 7 Home edition 64-bit, and then I want to buy an upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
My laptop model must have a BIOS update?
Laptop: Toshiba Satellite P300-23F PSPCCE-06T03HGR model numberPlease help me in this case.
Hello
Do you find more infoarmations why the upgrade couldn't t do?
On the Toshiba site I found a upgrade step-by-step instruction that might be useful:
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9902P60000R02.htmAs you can read that some programs must be removed before the upgrade. Did you do that?

Hi friends.
I'm new to this forum.
Wanted to know, had recently windows flash 10 indicator of free upgrade. Registered for it but for some reason, I need to reinstall my Windows 7 64 bit SP1.
After re-installation of Windows 7 after 3 days as I have not received flag upgrade windows 10 on my system tray.
So I would like to know, if I get the upgrade windows free 10 when it is available.
Concerning
C.
There is no need to "reserve" anything. This is purely marketing share MS to "encourage" users upgrade. They will be happy to pass any OS eligible in the first year for free, and it will remain free for the life of the device when it was released on July 29
There will be some ISO available when win 10 is out July 29
In almost all cases you data should migrate seamlessly

I installed Photoshop CC2014 to CC2015 which is a single 30 day trial (?) and my CC2014 is not accessible now (it displays an exclamation mark) why? Does this mean that I have TO pay for this upgrade at the end of 30-day track? I can't go back / stick with CC2014?

How can I get rid of the pop-ups 'vulnerable', and is the version 3 really bad/insufficient year. I suspect that this is just a tactic for fear of selling new plug-ins, and I'm paranoid enough to believe that the mfgr. is likely to create "problems" to force me to pay to upgrade. What should I do?
If you have the free version of QuickTime, you can ignore the suggestion of Apple to go Pro, and you don't need to give your email address.
You bought QuickTime software for authoring? He is not eligible for updates?
It is very important to keep connected to the internet to update plugins, even that your authoring software is aging gracefully. Plugins run untrusted binary content of strangers and you could lose a lot more than a program accordingly.
I don't know if the new free version can coexist with the paid version old. Adobe Acrobat users often face this dilemma by updating the Adobe Reader plugin. I wonder if Apple has a page on this?

I want to install Windows 7 to be able to play DVDs, I have to pay for the upgrade?
installation of Windows 7
Hi, I am running Windows XP and I would like to install Windows 7 in order to play DVDs. I pay for the upgrade? I am not very computer, is - this easy to install so free.
Thank you
JO SmithFirst of all, you need not to install Windows 7 to play the DVD. WinXP is perfectly capable of reading DVDs, as long as you have a DVD drive and the drivers appropriate devices and Codecs installed.
Yes, if you want to upgrade to Windows 7, you will need to buy at least a license upgrade. However, the "ease" of the upgrade process is relative, based almost entirely on your level of knowledge and skills. In general, the process is fairly automatic: just observe the instructions on the screen.
You should, before you continue, make sure that your computer is able to support Windows 7, and that the manufacturers of all connected devices (printer, scanner, webcam, etc.) have provided drivers for devices on Windows 7 for these items will continue to work.
