• Windows Virtual PC can be run on Windows 7 Home Premium?

  Windows Virtual PC is compatible with Windows 7 Home Premium?
  Everything I've seen indicates that XP Mode only works on Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition, but I would like to know if I can just install Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7 Home Premium and then install my own copy of my old XP machine.  I know that there is another program called Virtual PC 2007, but I have not seen anything to indicate that it is compatible with Windows 7 Home Premium.
  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks - dani

  Hi Dani,

  XP mode only works on the teacher/business or ultimate edition.

  But you can install the Microsoft Virtual PC on your Home Premium if your CPU/BIOS support VT and install your old XP in a new virtual machine.

• Windows 7 Home Premium with invalid Code of Activation in the virtual environment

  I have a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium, I could get the Product Code of Magic Jelly Bean KeyFinder.  I created a Virtualbox Win7 environment to test the code for what should I have to rebuild my computer I have everything properly.  Although I enter the code correctly when I try to activate it says that is not valid.  Is it because I'm under a system with it already running with the same product code that it does not work properly? Or something else?

  If your intention is to rebuild the desktop, why would need to test the activation code to see if it works, when it is currently working on the host itself? I can understand the Windows 7 Home Premium assessment in the virtual environment, but the idea of the code itself, no.

  If its already active in the host, then that means it works.

  If Home Premium from Windows 7 is pre-installed on the host itself, the code that you use cannot be used to activate Windows 7 elsewhere.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  If it is a retail license and you need to reactivate Windows 7 Home Premium if you reinstall from scratch, you can still use phone activation:

• Virtual PC for Windows 7 Home Premium?

  From what I've heard, VirtualPC is for Windows 7 Home Premium. I know that Windows XP mode is the higher versions, but I tried just VirtualPC, and I tried the two versions, x 64 and x 86 (I x 86 and x 64 I tried just to see if it worked), two installers saying that the update did not apply to my computer. I download the wrong program, or if I am not allowed to download? I downloaded from a link who redirect me to the Microsoft site.

  Windows Virtual PC is available free of charge to users of Windows 7 Home Premium and you can use it with your own personal copy without problem. So no, it's not illegal.

• You can install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP with Windows 7 Home Premium Mode?

  Windows 7 Home Premium with Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode.

  I'm currently under Vista Premium and just-ordered Windows 7 Premium.  I noticed that Microsoft offers only the XP Mode in their professional, Ultimate and Enterprise versions. Once I've upgraded to Windows7 I will be able to download and install Virtual PC and XP mode and make it work in my Premium version manually?  Yes my AMD BIOS supports.  Thank you!

  Only, you would have the same problems with 32-bit software in a 64 bit environment where it may or may not work as the others. XP mode is reserved for people who have a software who refuse, for some reason, to upgrade and that run only under Windows XP. But if you consider that Windows XP was introduced in 2001 and it is now 2009 and 1 other OS released and another is about to release... it's time to upgrade. Jonathan Matthis aka "7test" on MSN QnA

• Had a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade: I installed on the second machine and now do not know how to activate it.

  A few years back, I bought a laptop Dell 1537 that came pre-installed with Vista and also came with a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade.  I installed upgrading Windows 7 on the laptop from last year, and everything is fine with it.   Three weeks ago, I used this same disc to upgrade to Windows 7 and installed upgrading Windows 7 to my Dell XPS 430 desktop, with also came pre-installed with Vista.  At this point, I use an inactivated version of Windows 7 on my XPS 430.  With the 30-day grace period, Miss, I'm now unsure of how to properly activate the upgrade of Windows 7 on the XPS 430.  I know that I need a new product key, but what version of Windows 7 buy to get a product key valid: Windows 7 home Premium Upgrade, or Windows 7 Home Premium Full Version?

  Hello

  Since you have already used the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk to perform an installation upgrade on another computer, as you mentioned that you need a new product key to activate on another computer.

  You can either buy a updated version product key or full.

  If you purchase a product key for the version complete and in the future if you need to reinstall Windows, you can use the product key to perform a reinstallation without performing an upgrade installation.

  When you use an upgrade product key and if you need to reinstall Windows, you need to reinstall the Windows Help without using the upgrade product key and again perform an upgrade installation of the installed Windows to activate the system by using an upgrade product key.

  You can also get in touch with Microsoft Customer services for assistance.

• Large (100 gig +) file transfer fails in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  Hello

  I ran out of sensible troubleshooting options and am hoping that someone on the forum may be able to provide a solution or additional troubleshooting ideas.

  Scenario: I created a 178 concert file, an image of my old laptop XP file to be used for a virtual machine, on an external drive of USB3 for import to my new Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit computer laptop (ASUS N61JQ i7, 4Gig of DDR3 RAM). Operation failed for copy of file on the Win 7 machine (current patches, drive D:, NTFS, 250 free concerts), without error messages, regardless of the method.

  Troubleshooting:

  Removes the file structure - exemplary fine for XP SP3 on a different machine, a smaller version (image of the C: drive only) copies very well to new laptop Win7 and creates the virtual machine that works.

  Eliminated the USB drive - used 2 different drives

  Eliminated from the USB - used Ports all three USB 2 and 3 ports and all failed, tried mapping to machine XP and do a drag and drop and copy and paste and even set up a ftp server on the Win 7 and tried machine download failed him via gigE and 802.11nall.

  More advice in this forum and others, I downloaded Teracopy who do not - this failed with a message indicating that "the operation failed due to a file system limitation", but wikipedia shows the limit of file of an order of magnitude larger than my 16 TB file.

  I also tried PowerShell coming to stop the copy without error message (resource monitor showed no activity on the external drive - the source of the file).

  I also have:

  • tried disabling / uninstalling antivirus
  • run the copy in safe mode
  • I tried to find answers in the newspaper of the events without success.

  All seemed to fail somewhere after 100 gig mark. Often (but not always) failures caused strange behavior, including being unable to , unable to task switch, unable to stop. Often (but not always) a power switch reboot was necessary. My suspicion is that the copy of file is using some pool of memory that is needed by other processes of basic and cause misfortune wide system.

  Interestingly, a new file by concatenating a line of 50 concerts three times for 150 gig in the same location as the destination file, a new file in target in the same place creating worked!

  After having exhausted the limits of my personal creativity I now submit this problem to the collective wisdom of the tribe. A big thank you in advance, Richard.

  Success!

  I tried another file copy utility FastCopy http://ipmsg.org/tools/fastcopy.html.en, he also failed, but with a slightly different error message:

  "The requested operation was not successful due to a file system limitation665"

  Search on Google that the message has led to this article:

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winserverfiles/thread/e0d55018-CF06-43ca-8e20-dd2bb8494c96

  ... his fundamental premise - de-Frag - did not help (drive was off fragmented already), but the link internally to:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781134%28WS.10%29.aspx

  which is a NTFS bible made me think on the compression of files and directories and of course the compression in this directory was put on, I never use the disk compression so I don't know how it's happened, but once set to 'off', the flow of the copy more than doubled and the copy proceeded until the end!

  Things that Microsoft might want to address:

  • I don't see anything in the literature suggesting there is a limitation to the compression of files. Fixing it, or the weakness of advertising would be a good thing
  • None of the built-in tools advised of an error or managed properly, one would think that NTFS has been mature enough so that it would no longer be a problem.

  Sort of, it's fixed now:

  Solution: COMPRESSION SET OFF

  Best regards and happy new year

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea of dual boot; or use a Virtual Machine...

• Connect a printer HP Laserjet 4 parallel via USB using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - HELP!

  I have a new Dell PC (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) that does not have a parallel port to connect an old HP Laserjet 4 printer.  I bought a USB to parallel to connect the PC to the printer.  When turn on/off the printer, W7 installed an IEEE-1284 controller that appears in the unspecified list of devices in the control panel.  I "Has added a new printer", select "USB001 virtual printer USB port", then choose the correct printer driver (after "Windows Update" get a longer list).  When you try to print a test page, the 'ready' light on the printer starts to print, but nothing else happens.

  After experimenting with different settings, I was able to get a page to print that says "* s1M.  I don't know how it happened or what it means.  This suggests that the PC is 'talk' to the printer.  However, I was unable to reproduce this.

  HP support was able to help me, and I've been searching for an answer.  Someone at - it suggestions?  I wouldn't give up using a "workhorse" reliable printer for years. "

  You do not have a parallel port on the machine.  Whatever it is sent to the parallel port device should fail on writing.   Change the port to the port of USB00n, created when you plugged the cable.  You will see the port listed in the list of ports.  This will usually USB001 when you have not all printers attached otherUSB.
