• I would like to know if Windows Backup and Restore will copy a new set of files and adding to what is there in the previous backup folder

  Probably in a completely different format than you are accustomed to and accessible in a different way.

  Although I suppose you could create separate jobs for each of the existing partitions, if you wish.  But I would like to backup these partitions to something else before you start. Heh

• I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building?

  I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.

  Hello

  OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

  An OEM license is not transferable.

  And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

  There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

  You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.

  See you soon.

• I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous

  Original title: Windows 7

  I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous, go to Web pages, I have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of page to see the other half of the page - he said could also be a driver problem, but don't know what I'm looking for - someone can help?

  Hello

  Yes, well part of the problem from the point of view of Dell is the only "acceptable" operating system for the Office of series 4600 XP. So they have no drivers 'official' for any function of Windows 7!

  But first I need more information on the video card. Try this (on the Dell site): 4600 system is supplied either with the built-in car video or a dedicated real card video.  You should know that you got.  Right-click of your mouse on the desktop, click on Properties in the next area, you see.  This will bring you into the display properties.  Now click on settings at the top right of this next area, click Next on the advance .  Now, click on the adapter on the top.  Just below the upper on this last box, you will see your listed video adapter.

  You will need this information, regardless of where you get help. My best recommendation is that you go to the community of Dell and after a question here. Someone may have already found one, but there is nothing official since the operating system is not officially supported.

  I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do.

  Kind regards

• I have a new computer with windows 7. I need to transfer my emails and contacts from my old computer (windows XP and outlook express) to my new computer. How do I do that?

  both computers are online

  It depends on what e-mail program, you will use in Win7. He was not an '' integrated '', as previous versions of Windows.

  If you on Windows Live Mail, that would be the answer.

  Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

  For Messages:

  Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

  Location of OE message store:

  In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  For addresses:

  Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

  Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.

  Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.

  For the account settings:

  In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

  For specific help with WLMail, ask here, not in this forum.

• Is it possible to transfer registered names access and passwords (AutoComplete data) to new computer?

  I have a Vista laptop now, but I get a new one with Windows 7 in a few days. Is it possible to transfer all data from AutoComplete, including saved passwords and connections, for the new laptop.

  I know it's wrong, but I don't have my password and logins written anywhere. I will be screwed royally if I can't transfer this info, and yes I'm aware that it will be my fault for not keeping paper copies.

  As far as I KNOW, it won't work because a they are encrypted, and B - they include the GUID (ID overall single) which is different for each computer.

• License of Windows of my OLD Hardisk to a NEW hard drive on the same computer

  I have a computer that came with a Vista 32 bit OEM base HP and I upgraded to the retail of Windows 7 Home Premium on my old 320 GB hard drive.

  Extra: I accidentally deleted my Partition Recovery Vista provided by HP.  Now, I have more ways to recover Vista (including OS DVD Media Kit).

  So I think the upgrade from my old hard drive on a NEW 1 TB hard drive 320.

  However, I am a bit worried if Windows would allow me to activate if I install the Windows 7 Home Premium on the NEW 1 TB hard drive.

  Bonus: I have Windows 7 Home Premium Disc

• Color background of the old Windows Notepad and old Internet Explorer

  Two questions really. (1) what was the color of old Windows Notepad? I remember originally he was not white, but a dull kind of ish. The question is what is the value of that color in hexadecimal html (#)? (2) what was the default color of the old Internet Explore (for example Internet Explorer 4 for example), which he became white? In the old days, if you use IE4 to view a Web site that did not "bgcolor" in the body tag, you were presented with a background of dull ish, default to the browser. The question is once again, what is the value of that color dull ish in hexadecimal html (#)? Thanks a lot for your help!

• Using Time Machine or the Migration Assistant to transfer information from and old Mac to a new one

  I had to think about upgrading a Macbook Air to a Macbook Pro and have done research on how pretty much everything (files, account icloud, etc.) to move to a new computer so I know how to do it when the time comes. I didn't save my current computer at the time I got it and didn't know whether it was necessary to do it before the transfer. Also, I found two different ways to move information from one mac to another, one way being using the migration wizard, the other via the time machine. The problem is that I've never used time machine (I checked my settings and it is turned off). I was curious to know which option would be the 'best' way and if not never back up my computer would be a problem. (If its possible, could someone also please explain how to back up my computer?)

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward I hope to get a reply soon!

  I use Time Machine often (and have used since its introduction).  I also upgraded my Mac hardware quite often (about every 18 months).  Whenever I move to a new machine, I use the Migration Wizard (and not Time Machine).  I've never had a problem.

  Then I suggest that you need not Time machine specifically in order to change computers.  However, you really need to keep backups simply because the material is not, and without a backup, you are subject to lose everything you have on your computer.
