Windows 7 Professional installation CD on the old windows xp machine
How long does it take? is there some intervals where the data should be entered in the machine? thing that the product key must be put in? I appreciate any help, I am familiar with this process.
Installation time can vary depending on factors such as the speed of the processor, memory and your data set (including your personal files, settings and installed applications that must be transferred during the upgrade. Some upgrades may take an average of 2 hours 25 minutes, but there has been cases of up to 20 hours.

My upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate x 64 to Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 took about 3.5 hours, but I had a large library of applications (8 GB), and a set of data, which was about 68 GBs, so it was understandable

Updated since the trial version, installation asking for the old serial number
Hi, I just bought a new license for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. The new installation requires serial number to my previous version. I used a Version of EVALUATION.
The evaluation version is not a serial number, it? What should I enter?
I need to use my new Adobe Acrobat Pro DC licensed as soon as POSSIBLE! Help, please!
Thank you
Nancy B.
Hi Nancy Bravo,
I checked the details of your order and you have purchased the upgrade Adobe Acrobat DC version and to install the upgrade, you must have the serial number be XI Acrobat or Acrobat X. In case, you were using the old version of Acrobat (X or XI) then please use this serial number to install Acrobat. Otherwise, I suggest you well want to call the Adobe Customer Service and get that refund and buy the full version of Adobe Acrobat or you can also buy the Acrobat subscription.

I have a new install of Windows XP Pro and I am trying to transfer the old hard disk user settings. Is there a way to do it with just the HDD connected or do I need to reinstall the old HD in a computer and run the wixzard?
AFAIK, you can't transfer 'settings' without going through a working Windows installation, although you could, of course, copy all the files of data, including the 'Favorites' (favorite IE) to X:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Favoris (where X: is the letter of the old hard disk).
Depending on what you want to copy things from the old drive, there are manual methods to retrieve the data; You'll have to ask specific questions.
Of course, you need to reinstall old programs from original installation media (or the downloaded installation files).
Just break out the old drive in any old computer as the 'system disk' is not likely to work unless you do a repair installation of Windows, which is becoming more trouble than its worth just to copy the settings of the program.

To transfer the old backups Time Machine from a hard disk external to the airport in Time Capsule
Is it possible to transfer the old Time Machine backups from my external hard drive to Time Capsule airport?
Having done this in the past, I can say that it is possilble... but is not anywhere near the amount of time and effort it will take to do this.
Even when I was successful, Time Machine has started a new backup of the Mac... it has not added on the old existing backups, so I lost a good part of the backup on the Time Capsule space.
This will be easier if you keep just on the hard drive for a few months... in case you need to go back and pick up a file... While the time Capsule built a new story backups tons. After 3 to 6 months, you will not need the old backups, and you can erase the disc and use it as a spare part.
If you want to try it anyway... see this article: http://pondini.org/TM/18.html

New installation fails during the expansion of the files Windows 7 Pro
Recently, I built a new computer after my old man died. I installed Windows 7 Pro, I had on the old system. Everything worked well for about a month. Then I started having various errors, some suggesting a memory error. I ran several times using the most comprehensive parameters of memtest and no problem not found. Further inspection, I discovered that a critical system update was applied just before that the problems started. I decided to roll back the change. It does not solve the problem. I tried to do a system repair. That did not work. She only had basic as IE11 and Skype applications. I had also installed the utilities for the motherboard and graphics card. So, I decided to do a clean install. Each time, it fails during the expansion of the files. The error message is, "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupted or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0 x 80070570." He gets up to 30% each time. I tried to install for a V300 Kingston SSD (120GB). I also tried another SATA II HDD (750 GB) with the same problems. I downloaded a new ISO and tried to install from that. Yet once, it is not at the same point. I noticed that whenever it creates a partition system reserved 100 MB which is almost full. At one point, I got a message saying that there are about 8 000 MB of free space. (I think that was all trying to manually unzip the files by a tip I found online). I found several suggestions for similar problems, but the solutions proposed did not help. I'm sure it will be a simple solution, but I'm out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

Get the old hard drive to work on the new processor
I am a PC Tech company with problems on PC at home.
My Win 7 Home Premium Dell Studio T435/9000 dead. It was a motherboard problem, I chose not to replace the CPU/Mo with a duplicate. The hard disk MBR is good, I could read it and when I installed in an Optiplex 990 at work, it is initialized.
I had the chance to receive a new Dell T5610 with 2 CPUs of a parent. It came with professional Win7 preinstalled on an SSD, UEFI boot on a GPT disk. But all my apps are absent and even a rat-pack obsessives like me do not have all the CD and install the files for the various applications on the old hard drive.
I want to use my old hard drive on the new PC, then after that it's stable, migrate the old hard drive to the SS disc supplied with the PC.
First problem was to learn the differences between MBR and GPT. After this was learning that Home Premium does not work on a PC with two separate processors. I use Win7 professional for that. With the help of this forum, I was able to do this by using the Optiplex 990. I run Win7 Professional on the Optiplex 990.
I take the former home of hard disk go BIOS to legacy. Old hard drive that boots on 990, does not start on T5610.
I try various advanced options, safe mode, low-resolution video, nothing works. I get a BSOD is a hard drive error, STOP 040000007 B.
I try Startup Repair tool and get the following:
Problem event name

How can I get my old hard drive to work with the new processor. Is it a question of Dell, a Win7 Office. As the hard drive starts up successfully on another CPU, I believe that the hard drive is good.
Thank you very much for your help!
Thanks to you all. But the solution was completely different.
Dell said the motherboard on the accuracy was so different from my old PC that unless I reinstalled Win7 Professional from scratch on the old hard drive, motherboard would not work with the old hard drive.
They have guaranteed that the old hard drive would work on a 8700 XPS. After some problems, I managed to do the work. Problem solved.

License / Activation of a virtual copy of an old physical XP machine
I converted an old XP Home Premium machine to a virtual machine to a user who is move to a new computer, so they can have all their old files and application in the form they are used to in case they need him.
When the virtual copy has been started, he said windows had to be activated, and I don't know what is the right thing to do now.
I made these P2V conversions with windows mass licensed copies, but this time, because it is a PC at home with a single license, I want to make sure that I understand what I do before taking action.
I expect the virtual machine works if I enter the key of the old home XP machine? And is it going to restore the old or the new machine useless if the old machine is used again? The user does not need the old PC once all their old data is on the new computer, but before the process is complete, I need to make sure they do not have access to everything they had on their old PC.
Hi BidyonMivde,

Hi all!
I need help. I just bought a new computer that has Windows 7 on it. This old computer is 7 years old
and last year I had put win 7 professional about it. I'm trying to delete files on it. How can I do this correctly.
What I need to remove the Windows 7 Professional out of it since I bought it and have the license and the disc. Or, do
to keep the disc and just remove it from this computer. What happens if someone else wants the computer I leave it on and
Give them the disc. How can I handle this? I am new to this? Someone just set up my new computer and I want to
to make sure that I have all my passwords and other things out of that right.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME SOON! A.S.A.P.! Cause I need to work for the new space.
Thank you. Sharon
If you delete all partitions found (when booting from the cd of win) it will only destroy what is on the hard drive of the PC (all data can be saved), he won't do anything to victory dvd
If your new PC shipped with win7 preinstalled you need not really your origonal dvd win7. -You can sell or keep
If you do not want to give the old PC, then simply remove the hard drive (how can be found on google) and destroy the hard drive with a heavy hammer
(A seven year old PC is practically worthless)

Mr President
I have windows 7, after creation of the solid color red & gray icon PDF files, but now the icon has changed to adobe acrobat 7 Professional logo, how do I re obtain the icon or the old logo for my PDF files as the previous icon is very easy to identify, also I used acrobat adobe 7 Professional but this problem was not there.
Hi manojp35249311,
Acrobat 7 is not compatible with Windows 7, so it's difficult to judge how the application on an incompatible environment will behave.
Please attach a screenshot so that we can diagnose the problem correctly.
Kind regards

You should probably just download the demo version of the EP 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial version or buy Adobe products | Adobe Downloads
That being said, you tried to install PES 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
You have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
PSE 1 can run on windows 7 x 64, if certain conditions are met.

I am running Windows XP Professional Edition and have tried almost way possible from almost all of the codes, so that it can install. He always tells me a different code almost as something it must not 'dismantling' MSE. I am not certified has + by all means! But I do not know when you searched for sites Microsoft etc., you are looking for better & learn yourself. But I'm at the point where I say "I wanted I had saved the old Version of the WLE who worked great." Just to give you a clue, which hopefully will help me can govern this list I've done on:
1. search and read questions from other people who were identical and followed step by step, when I received him seemed to be more common error Code. He said to download update Windows Cleanup Utility and remove everything said Microsoft Live in there. I did this and it just via a different error Code
2 I tried to download directly the WLE "integer" and install it
3 I am the admin. and always "Ran under" admin
4 I watched the system requirements & everything I had was compatible, even if I n "t SQL, but went and downloaded and installed, it
5 I ran in safe mode, and keep in mind that I do every time a cleaning in the place where there is no trace of even the new WLE Installer, b/c I read learned that you cannot leave this trace.
6 and to be honest, I do all this work b/c I think WLE possesses one of the in my opinion, best photo library it y a. quick, simple, but still has all of the improvements that I use direct mail and really liked the MS Outlook 07 connector is what I have right now.
7 I've never seen a free software that is so sensitive that it need to go through all these steps
-Thoughts on any other reasons to help, I would take even the older edition if I could find it, but as soon as I eliminated and did a cleanup & reinstall my hard drive, it hit me. I forgot to record the show and then, think it is free I'll get it online but it has been updated and I need help which is much smarter than me, I will not STOP until I know what and why. BTW, it is not a problem with a firewall or anything b/c I disabled Norton and am MSE tent which was / is child's play, it's not dirty space, but it does the job and it's great and that's why I want the photo gallery for the least and Sync Mail to Outlook. As I have said that I have nothing else, I know to do, I even tried on another computer running the exact same OPS than mine. And it's the same way. ??? Please help me to get someone...
Thank you very much in advance for any help other than that described previously, or if someone from Microsoft could remotely help me if it is possible.

Hmm. check that you can start the Windows Installer service and it is enabled.
- Click Start > run...
- Type cmd /K net start MSIServer
- Press enter and monitor messages in the window of the console open.
If the service is started successfully, then download the offline version of the WLE from here and try to install it. Select all items to install because they are dependent on each other.
Download the new log file, if it fails to install again. -
How the old software compatible with Windows 7?
Hello!
I'm trying to figure out how to run the old dictionaries CD-ROM on Windows 7. Both dictionaries are compatible with Windows 3.X/95/NT/98, but Windows 7 refuses to install. I've tried the compatibility changes explained on the video on the website of Microsoft, but does not.
Could someone help me?
Hello Mika Oksanen,
If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode. However, not all software for earlier operating systems will run on the new platform for Windows 7.
Try using the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.
Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
If compatibility is not successful, then try and self-test program compatibility issues:
1. open the program compatibility problems theStart button.
Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting tool, then clickTroubleshooting. Under programs, clickRun done for previous versions of Windows.
2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.
If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.
If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.
If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Marilyn

How to restore the old window download in firefox browser worm 26?
The old download window has helped me see my video through Downloader of video downloading side by side in the same time, thus allowing me to cancel it if found unfit after a few minutes. Even I could open the folder to view a few bites that have been downloaded.
Well, I ended up installing FF ESR, and I found the old behavior.
I backed up my current installation, and then just installed above my current ESR. (Make sure the folder installation points is the same as where FF is already installed) No problem at all - Favorites, settings, and modules were all still there. Piece of cake.
I am currently on FF ESR 24.3
