  • How can I install Windows XP on windows 7 laptop Compaq Presario CQ62-215DX?

    I want to install XP on my laptop (laptop Compaq Presario CQ62-215DX) which has Windows 7... give me some advice please

    You replace the startup disk in the BIOS cd. Then boot from the XP CD. And press a button when it tells you. However, he will wipe away Windows 7. So, if you want anything copy everything you want (with the exception of programs), before formatting the hard disk.

    NOTE: XP has no drivers for most of whats on the system (LAN/Sound/player card etc.). So if that is the only computer you have, go to HP site for this laptop search, download drivers and copy them into something. Before you begin. Or you won't get back on the internet...

    Also NOTE: If the disk hard in it is SATA, you will need to disable the AHCI in the BIOS (change it to IDE mode). Or XP will crash before you get to the configuration screen. Unless you download the SATA drivers, unzip / extract and add them when it says press F6 (on a floppy disk).

    The XP CD does not have SATA drivers on it either. If you do not add the SATA drivers during installation, do not change this back to AHCI after installing XP. Or it will crash

    In addition, make sure that you have a XP key. A key to windows 7 will not work

    I was using Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC then I formatted my system & installed Windows 10 Insider Preview Windows 7 is pre-installed on my laptop & now I have no way to recovery, but, I don't have the product key for Windows 7.

    I just wanted to know can I install Windows 7 & sign him with the product key?

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • Windows 10 can be installed on Boot Camp Version 4.1

    Hello

    Windows 10 can be installed on Boot Camp Version 4.1? Whenever I do a page search thishappens which show how update but I have read that Windows 10 requires an updated Boot Camp (v6).

    Or better yet 6 Boot Camp out again? If so, how do I update my Boot Camp?

    FYI: that's what I did to get the version of Boot Camp, I went to my Windows partition click on icon Boot Camp and click on the button on Boot Camp and I got 4.1.

    I'm running Windows 7 on Mac OSX El Capitan.

    Any advice?

    If you already have installed W7 you can pass up to W10. Bootcamp may be necessary if you need to re - install W10. If your model of Mac is not listed in the link you found, Apple does not officially support W10 on your Mac, which means that there is no W10 driver certified for your model of Mac.
