Windows 8 on my laptop
How can I create a shortcut for 'This PC' on my desk, rather than having to access the link in my Start menu?
Open File Explorer, find this Pc on the left side of the window and drag it to the desktop. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

Does anyone has installed Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion DV2175
If anyone has installed Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion DV2175 and if so it is 32 or 64 bit
Hello:
There is an unofficial update guide to windows 7 for the series dv2000.
Given that the maximum amount of memory, that you can install on your laptop is only 2 GB, I'd go with W7 32 bit, as a 64 bit OS requires more memory and disk space to run a 32 bit OS only.
Not double, but more.

I contacted my internet provider several times in recent weeks and they haven't a clue what's wrong, so they want to send a technician for £180, but a friend had the same problem and contacted PCWorld and they said that it is to do with the security setting so he then contacted McAffee and they changed the type of security on the router WPA2-Personal wireless to another and apparently it works fine now so do you think that's what I have to do? Sorry if this is real confusing :) kind regards D
Isn't it clear what your problem is, but if you use McAfee (based on what I read on other forums) you should probably uninstall or disable Windows Defender on your laptop. Windows Defender and McAfee may not work well together as MSE and McAfee should not be used on the same computer.
Some older portable computers (such as my Dell Inspiron 5100 with XP Pro 2004) does not connect to a WPA-2 wireless router - mine only works with WEP and WPA. Maybe it's the cause of your problem, but of course if your laptop is new, it should work fine with WPA-2.
Given that your problems are not associated with MSE, why not ask your advice in the Microsoft Windows Forum at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us or on the website of the manufacturer of your router and maybe they can help.
Good luck...

I want to re - install windows xp on my laptop but I don't have the resource cd. only I have the key to product label I can do?
also my frist question is that if I install this version (xp sp3) with my product key, it will be legal?
The downloaded file CANNOT BE USED TO INSTALL WINDOWS.
It is not a question of legal or non-legal. The file you download is not complete. The downloaded file will update an existing installation of Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows XP Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Right click on my computer, then select Properties. The screen say for your version of Windows, including Service Pack?

When you say that it is not complete, can you explain what you mean? I would not recommend that you install Xp. As the day quickly approaching where Microsoft will end security updates. Without the security updates, your computer will be more vulnerable to attacks.

Hi, I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (dell insparon) 1525 and now my wireless does not work. ive tried re installing driver, but it says operating system not supported. I used the disc that came with the computer of the re install and I even tried to install service pack 1. .
original title: Wireless problems after install.I just tried both, the dell is one that says OS not supported"and the intel, it went very well, but my 'network controller' still have a yellow top thing in Device Manager. and I always wireless. any other ideas? Thank you for the help
Question... You have whatever it is listed in the "Network adapters" section of "Device Manager" now?
While ensuring that the exclamation point is not for your wired network device (plausible) or bluetooth (plausible) and you just need to configure your wireless network to connect to * your * wireless network now.
You may have to contact Dell to see why none of their drivers receive your wireless device works on the original operating system, what they included. This could be a hardware problem PURE.

I had pre installed windows vista on my laptop. now, I replaced the hard drive. so, can we recover only windows giving you the serial number? I have sony laptop.
How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
