Win 8 upgrade to Windows 7: users do not need to reinstall the drivers and application software not?
Hello
I'm fascinating to read entire article on upgrading to win 8 to http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/07/02/upgrade-to-windows-8-pro-for-39-99.aspx
A part of the article reads; "You will be able to upgrade a version of Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro single-station and along which includes your personal files, settings and Windows applications"
My Win 7 Pc has MS Office 2010, Antivirus, MacAfee, PC Dell drivers and other applications. This means that I am not required to reinstall all that software? that is, it will be automatically postponed to Win 8 OS.
If this is the case, it will save a lot of time, effort and downloading of costs during the update of data.
Thank you

Upgraded to Windows 7, user does not work Solutions Center today.
Hello
I have a user on XP and used the Solutions Center on his PSC1210 to enlarge the copy/scans.
He has upgraded to Win 7 and Solutions Center has disappeared and the version on the original installation disc will not work on 7, is it possible to get the solution for 7 Center?
Johnathon
Hi jjohnson1313,
No, the driver of the operating system will allow you to print & scan, but you will have no installed Solution Center, which is included with our drivers and full software features.

Satellite L305-S5968 - after the upgrade to Windows 7 I have not access to Internet
I really need help.
I got my disk to upgrade to Windows 7 yesterday, and I ran everything that he said. The upgrade wizard does everything what it was supposed to, the computer rebooted, installed everything correctly and my initial startup of Windows 7 was very well, everything worked perfectly and then suddenly I could no longer connect to the internet via wifi more and my USB keys do not work.
I checked the drivers and reinstalled everything but it still doesn't work.
My laptop is a Satellite L305-S5968 any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello

TRY TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 7 BUT C: DRIVE FULL DESPITE THE REMOVAL OF ALL UNNECESSARY PROGRAMS
I'm trying to upgrade to windows 7 Vista but not like the 40 GB c: partition has only 3 GB free. Removed all unnecessary programs, etc. If you only really have Vista on C: drive but still showing 37GB used. Any ideas how I can release another 6 GB of free space.
Tahnks a lotI hate to say it, but it would be a great time for a bigger hard drive. While 40 GB meets at least for installation you really need more for in-place-upgrading a system using 37 GB. Setup needs space for temporary files, its own temporary relocation, etc.

I have to reinstall all my applications and drivers when I update to Windows XP to Windows 7?
When you upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7, a lot of drivers is upgraded as part of the process and your applications and settings must be migrated automatically. If you perform a new installation, you may need to find the drivers for your PC that are compatible with Windows 7 (or, if no driver is specifically available for Windows 7, use Windows Vista counterparts).
You can also use Windows Easy Transfer to move your documents, photos, music and other files if you decide to perform a new installation. For more information about Windows Easy Transfer, please visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-easy-transfer.
Hope that helps, have a nice day! Kristan M. Kenney ("Nighthawk64")

800704B 8-3001 error code stop download of 10 windows to install the drivers and characteristics
Hello Michael,
Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.
You can improve your current PC to Windows 10 by going to the Windows 10 software download page to download the media creation tool. The media authoring tool can be used to create a USB or DVD media to upgrade your current PC to Windows 10 or install Windows 10 on another PC.
Follow the instructions on the download page of Windows 10 software: http://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10
Note:
When upgrading to Windows 10 using media, you must run setup.exe from in your version of Windows 7 or Windows 8 and authentic. If you want to boot from media, you must have upgraded to Windows 10 previously. Boot 10 Windows media directly without upgrading to Windows 10 previously is not supported and will have problems with activation.

Last year, I bought my laptop and I tried to create a second user account but I placed it somehow this account as the Admin user. I don't remember the password and my file vault is of course.
What password? You can change a password for the account, but if you do not know the FileVault password, you are in a bind. You need to call Apple directly if you their sent an emergency password when configuring the FV.
For a user account:
You forgot your password
Lion or later version
Reset a password in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
OS X Lion mountain - reset a login password,
OS X Mavericks-solve password problems,.
OS X Lion-Apple ID can be used to reset your password for the user account.

backup Windows used on xp family - need to locate the .dbx files to restore
Recently, I wiped the water of the hard drive and reinstalled XP. I ' v been using the Windows backup utility (from the installation disc Add ons) and I have the old files on a portable hard drive. I am still investigating the .dbx files to restore the old email from outlook express, but when I use the restore option and try to browse the backup folder, the structure I see seems fragmented and still incomplete. He did not get down to the level of the individual files that windows Explorer, and I don't want to bring back a bunch of garbage in a new installation of XP. Anyone know the folder that contains the dbx files, and what else would I be restore with backup if I restore this file?
Hi there MYOdB,
You can use the Wizard to restore in the backup or Restore Wizard to select the files to restore; you will need to restore the Documents and Settings folder, because the .dbx files are normally stored in C:\Documents and Settings\ [your original username] \Application Data\Identities\ {a string} \Microsoft\Outlook Express
You must also make sure that you have hidden files or folders shows: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/hiddenfiles.mspx

How change windows and not lose the drivers and programs?
Hey guys want to just ask,
I acres, I bought it with windows 7 Home premium installed but I bought windows 7 ultimate and I want to change the windows, but the only thing that I'm worried about is when I format the HHD of re - install windows ill lose programs Acre, how can I keep after I re - install windows?
Is it possible that I can get a copy on USB or something?
Thank you
Your laptop must have a backup or restore utility to create the restore disks - in general, the options are to create a set of disks that are going to do a full factory restore and a disc is just the drivers and the software.
Click on the start menu, then all programs and see if there is an Acer folder that contains this utility. If she is not there, your next option would be to go here, look to the top of your system, and then click tab to download the manual and see if there are instructions for creating a backup.
