• 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.

• Lost my "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade - 32 bit" folder and want to wipe my computer...

  I wipe my Dell Inspiron (1720). It came with Vista in 2007, but I've upgraded to Windows 7 in 2009 using the "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade - 32 bit" download that was offered to students at the time.

  When I re - install the OS and drivers (using supplied with the notebook backup discs), I would like to re - move to 7. Again, I have my product key for it but cannot find the original file that I downloaded to perform the upgrade. Is there a part of the Microsoft site that I can download this file from?

  If not, is there a way I can format my HDD without lose the BONE?

• 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.

• 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 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.

  Good luck.

• 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.

  Hi @ RTX,

  Awesome response. I read the details and depth of your post. I understand that the bios is updated. So you could end up with this update.

  Happens to the other updates. This will be the order.

  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.

  If nothing works as a last resort, you may need to restore complete system to factory settings. Please backup your files before doing so. This is possible since the recovery of your computer's hard drive partition.

• My computer is silent. I think XP audio drivers are corrupted__If I install Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade it will provide new drivers for sound card?

  My computer fell silent months ago after a download. I checked the healthy zone and everything is on and not anywhere in the system. I did a scan of unknown quality and that indicates a problem with the audio drivers. I tried to download new divers from Microsoft.

  Rather than spending all the resources on the Windows XP system, I am considering Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade. Upgrades include new audio drivers which will replace or overwrite the existing problem and make it all work as it should again.

  You can not spend XP as it's a clean install to get W7 on your PC.  To help transfer data documents, use the transfer on the W7 DVD program.

  Before doing that I suggest you download the Advisor to upgrade to W7 from Ms. If your PC passes, then you go to the next step which is download W7 drivers for your video card, sound card, printer, etc. and their storage on a USB for post install W7.

  If your PC isn't at the height (lack of drivers for one or more of your cards), then I would stick to XP. There is no guarantee that Vista drivers work in W7.

  If you stick to XP, download the drivers for specific sound card XP the PC manufacturer's Web site, they can be more up-to-date than those at Ms.

  See you soon,.

• Vista Business - > Win 7 Home Premium upgrade does not work with my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disc

  I bought a Windows 7 upgrade for $99 at Dell when I bought a new computer Win 7 and am finally getting around to upgrading my Vista Business.  The reason for road upgrading rather than clean install was to avoid reinstalling all applications, a major, major time sink, even if I find all the drives in application.  Is the upgrade to Win 7 Home Premium.

  After starting the upgrade, he stopped, telling me that I can only switch to Win 7 Pro, Ultimate or enterprise. For the upgrade to proceed, told me that he needed a clean installation and that I would then have to re - install all the applications.  I looked on the Microsoft site, trying to find how to set my Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc, but I have been unable to find how this could be done after through many convolutions of web pages.

  Could someone tell me please how to put my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk to a Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc?

  Thank you very kindly for any response.

  I guess it depends on what side of the coin of your on. If someone bought the Windows 7 Pro upgrade, whereas they would have only a single lane of evolution, which is the more common scenario.

• How to recover installed WIN7 Home Premium of g4-1104dx?

  G4 had a corrupt BIOS and MBR.  I was able to fix both after loading a WIN7 business start-up and repair work DVD.   Now, I want to recover my WIN7 Home Premium OS.  The collection records and HP_Tools are both here on the hard drive...

  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.

• Re use Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc

  Hello

  I bought and Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc and upgraded to Windows XP.  Unfortunately my PC has not enough graphics to run Aero and DVD Maker (915 chipset), and I had tried unsuccessfully to introduce a new videocard (power problem).  So I gave up with this PC and will probably go back to XP or get a copy of Vista Home Basic which will be OK on this PC.

  I did the clean installation thing with the upgrade disk if my old XP system is not affected and can be restored without problem.

  My question is:

  If I buy a latest PC who has the necessary graphics to run the Home Premium edition, can I re reuse the upgrade disc, or the activation process will fail because of "improved" after having already.

  Thanks for your help

  Hi Evereti,

  You can try installing upgrade of Windows Vista on another PC as if you removed completely from Windows Vista to Windows XP PC. You will not be able to use the same copy on two different computers at the same time. It will affect the Product Activation.

• If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?

  If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?. Please answer

  Yes.

  You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk

  Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...

  Try to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade online: newegg, amazon, etc.

  Alternatively, try your local computer store.

  This isn't for free.

• Update Win7 Home Premium 32-bit to Win7 Home Premium 64-bit

  I just bought a Thinkpad X 201 comes preinstalled with Win7 Home Premium 32 - bit installed and I prefer to run the 64-bit version. Is it possible that I can get the DVD (s) necessary economically and the current product on my laptop key will validate the 64-bit version? I understand that this will require a clean install, but as MS normally provides both 32-bit and 64-bit win7 version with it games standard OEM hoped that Lenovo could provide me DVD (s) you need to little or no costs (delivery?).
