Win7 Home Premium is not BitLocker-upgrade is no longer available - who need Software.TrueCrypt said encryption is not safe

Hello

I'm having the same problem as some of the herer posters. I need protect my data. I tried to upgrade to win7 home premium, but microsoft are selling it is no longer. And tried to upgrade to win8, but some drivers won't work. Is there a way to get Bitlocker? I have My Winlocker, but I have a lot of data.

I installed Truecrypt and was about to try when I followed a link on the first window that appears after you click the "create volume" button and a link below the first option on this page, "create a file ecrypted container" and it led me to:

http://TrueCrypt.sourceforge.NET/

who warns that this TrueCrypt is not secure (?) What is this software works well with win 7?

I can't buy Windows 7 pro or any other version of Windows 7 that microsoft have stopped selling. So I have no way to obtain the bitlocker version that comes with these versions

I have read the forums who say TrueCrypt is very good, is it? If this is not the case, what is a better software for encryption and hide the volume and the reliablility?

Are files encrypted by bitlocker always encrypted and invisbile if the pc is restored to factory State or BitLocker is uninstalled? I remember reading that somewhere, that these files will be are more protected.

I checked the "Anytime Upgrade" link in windws, and now, it brings me to a payment page... ! Is now available again? I was told an online service in a forum or by microsoft that the upgrade of anytme was no longer available! Is it actually available again?

Thanks in advance

The thing about truecrypt is weird, just noticed this myself today. So Ive used for a while to worm for worm 7.1 6.3 has this review appeared recently as well as 7.2.

There are other free alternatives, see this list of CNET for example - http://download.cnet.com/windows/encryption-software/?licenseType=Free&osNamesExact=Windows+7&sort=editorRating ~ desc % 2CdownloadCountLastWeek ~ desc also http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-57620831-12/truecrypts-cryptic-warning-is-downright-alarming/?tag=rb_content;main

I only mention CNET as a way to get a quick list and comparison information.

  • Install problem Win7 Home premium - installation not available sources (0xE0000100)

    Trying to go from Vista home premium to Win7 Home premium 32B version (Norwegian Norwegian vista and Win7)

    When I start the installation program, after you choose to do a clean install, an error message appears with the 0xE0000100 error code. The error text (freely translated from the Norwegian...) is: a uccured of unexpected error during the installation of windows. Control the installation sources are available and restart the installation.

    The PC has a processor AMD Athlon, a 500 GB drive (with 70% free space).

    The same error occurs if I boot from the DVD or if I start installing win7 from Vista. I checked that I have the latest drivers for the DVD player.

    I tried to install win7 as an upgrade instead of a clean install, but who did not either

    No other operating system are installed on the same pc.

    You will appreciate all help :-)

    Greetings - Nils

    Resolved:
    -Drive Windows was OK
    -Run the Windows Upgrade Advisor told me that it was ok to upgrade
    -tried to install USB instead of a DVD, same problem

    -> had to remove the card reader installed in the Cabinet of the PC. Then, the installation was easy. After installation I have connected the player card again and the drivers have been installed automatically, and it works fine.

  • I have Home Premium and want to upgrade to Ultimate.iAm of the India, so not Anytime Upgrade available. Then?

    I have a Home Premium and want to upgrade to Ultimate. I am from India, not Anytime Upgrade available. So? is it cheaper to upgrade to windows 7 ultimate or go to windows 8 is no more information in the microsoft Web site? Is there a upgrade option?
    If Yes, which is cheaper. I have an offer to win 8 Pro only 699 INR. Win 8 Pro is equivalent to Win7 Ultimate? What are the prices for the upgrade from home premium to ultimate victory?

    Windows 7 Anytime Upgrades are no longer available.

    Windows 8 Pro is the ultimate value.

    The only features that you won't find in Windows 8 Pro are Direct, AppLocker and BitLocker Drive encryption access, some of these functions are dependent on Windows Server 2008 R2 or a later version.

  • Why I can not validate my key win7 Home premium

    I had a windows 7 is already installed when I bought this computer tower he had windows 7 Edition home premium 64 x I recently had to do a new installation and format my computer until I downloaded a win7 Home premium 6xbit from the microsoft site and got the key from the windows, I got, it's a valid windows had all updates while maintaining this new windows and whether the same version as my pervious I use the key I've had and is not validate my key it will say my key is not valid for this any help would be great and a lot of people, I know they get the computer with a windows CD, so you have to do one, but the original disk is of no use to me , so I used your site dvd ISO and now I have to validate and it will not

    I suspect that the key that you got is the OEM SLP key that works only with OEM recovery media. you use the key on your COA.

    to see what you have:

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )

    Once downloaded, run the tool.

    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.

    Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.

  • .i did not make a full backup, because I bought my laptop. I use win7 Home premium 64-bit

    I checked forums, tried Mr. difficulty, used usb and dvd rom and it still says not enough space and also I can only use tools hp (drive f) or g (dvd player) drive as an option for backup space. Ive tried to change the options for many times... I did a full backup since I bought my laptop. I use win7 Home premium 64-bit.  backup of files recall comes on the other constantly.anybody I have this problem?

    I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum meets for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Three I'm familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 8 years no 1 problem), Easeus Todo Backup free, you can download it from

    http://www.TODO-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm and Memeo , which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com . You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

    The March 2012 issue of PC World is very high on the program FREE of Easeus and I tested it recently in a variety of configurations; and must say that I am very impressed. As Ghost will support up to a network drive and it will create a bootable CD for when your PC does not start. See commentary to PC World to

    External hard drives are the best for backup. You can get a 500 GB one for $70 and a 1.5 to one for about $90. You can also buy a flash drive of 32 GB for less than $20. It is the best insurance you can buy ever!

  • Win7 Home Premium or Professional win7?

    I'm new to these forums, but have questions.  I'm to customize a XPS8300 that I intend to buy soon.  Everything looks to be in order except the operating system.  I can't decide whether or not to choose Win7 Home Premium or Professional of Win7.

    I know Win7 Pro is better, but it adds $130 in total.  I could save by going with Win7 Home now and upgrade to the pro version later, at about half the cost.  However, I have a feeling that does not immediately get Win7 Pro likely a software problem or issue some time in the future.

    What do you think?

    What features of Win7 Pro do you need? I have Win7 Pro on my main machine, but I don't use any of the features. I use only cause I got it for free while I was in College. But I do not use the BitLocker feature (or I did when I had Vista Ultimate), I am more True Crypt fan myself. So, if you are looking for an encryption program that would be my recommendation.

    Of course, if you're in an office environment & * need * the updates in Windows 7 Pro Advanced Tools network then go by all means to her; It's either that or Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

  • I just bought a Win7 Home Premium Box to the Brazil need to know if and how I can install it in English or Spanish.

    I'll upgrade a Win7 Home Basic Spanish to a Win 7 Home Premium. I just bought a Win7 Home Premium Box to Brazil (Brazilian DVD), in Puerto Rico and wanted to know if and how I can install it in English or Spanish, I said that I can choose any language during installation

    The person using the machine knows not Portuguese, so Windows must be either in English or in Spanish. I said by two vendors that it was possible, but I'm not 100% sure. Wanted to confirm before you open the box.

    Thank you very much in advance

    Only the version of Windows 7 Ultimate supports multilingual functionality.  You can upgrade using the Windows Anytime Upgrade feature for $139.95, or you can buy the English version of Windows Home Premium and install it.

  • Pavilion dv7t-4000 laptop: AMD HDMI port on the computer laptop dv7 is lost after free trial Win10 returns to Win7 Home Premium edition

    My laptop was purchased in sept 2010 and runs Win7 Home Premium Edition (64-bit).

    It worked perfectly until June 2016, when the trial version free odious Win10 forced itself on my laptop.  I had no choice, I used Win10 for a day or 2 and then discovered that:

    (1) I lost the audio capability, HDMI port, I use to connect to my TV, and

    (2) the Win10 trial enabled me to return on Win7, I did without delay.

    In my Win 7 restored, everything was fine, except when I have her go in Control Panel to configure / reconfigure HDMI as the default, I couldn't - the element used to appear as "AMD HDMI Audio" is no longer displayed.  I remember a message during the free trial period Win10 that says it has disabled any material incompatible.  Without a doubt, Win10 free trial 'killed' this HDMI/device port, at least audio-wise.

    Today, I always run the same Win7, but I can't have audio HDMI on this port.  When I connect to my TV, the video works.  Win7 Device Manager it shows with an exclamation in yellow, and when I right click to get more details, there is a message saying Microsoft:

    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52).

    Is there a way to 'get it '?  'this' is AMD HDMI audio.  (and wthout spoil the graphics - that is, video)

    I tried to install the drivers provided by AMD [graphics] and that did not work. The Internet from AMD website says that the audio drivers are included in the package for graphics drivers.  There is also a huge confusion in the way these low level items are named/described: ATI and AMD, because they have merged, were used somewhat interchangeably.  I also tried the graphics drivers AMD HP Support Web site specific to my laptop and it has only gotten worse.

    Thank you for your kind attention.

    1. Uninstalling the driver Chipset and resettlement.

    2 reinstalling and uninstalling graphics drivers

    3. uninstall the sound drivers and reinstall.

    Before uninstalling, you can try to update the drivers supplied by device also Manager and if that market that will be great. Please, do it only if you don't have already done.

    Before uninstalling please make sure that you capture an image of the complete Device Manager window. Take some pictures of your cell phone. Please note the exact device for audio and video chipset drivers. Then, you will need to uninstall it from the Device Manager and install from the support site in the above order so that there is no confusion.

    1. turn on or reboot / restart the computer.
    2. press the F11 key repeatedly once you see the logo of the manufacturer until the recovery screen. This must be done before your operating system begins to load. If you see the Windows logo appears on the screen, you will need to restart, and then try again.
    3. If the Recovery Manager can access the recovery on the hard drive partition, you receive a to back up user files before you start the recovery prompt. Follow the instructions.
    4. If the HP Recovery Manager cannot access the hard disk to resolve system errors, you can use the recovery disc custom that you created to recover the hard disk to its original state.
    5. after recovery finished, the laptop will reboot.

    If you have not created the custom recovery disk, or disks are damaged, you can order a replacementrecovery HP disk
