  Hi all

  After you have installed windows 8 on a pc comes with windows 7, I learned just learned that I don't have a product key valid win8 because I already used once for an installation of win8 on another pc. Now, I need to go back to win7 because I don't plan on buying another product key.
  I know that I can do this with the option to restore from the manufacturer, but it will be a hassle to get back to the top/reinstall all my applications and data.

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

  If the above does not help, try to repost in Forum Vista programs:

• Pavilion x 360-13-s100nv: delete the folder after the driver update

  I just installed updates for my x 360-13-s100nv Pavilion nb.

  Well, during the process, the installation wizard retrieves the downloaded package (for example, sp71883.exe, sp71899.exe etc.) to a local folder. And then began the new installation/update driver.

  The question is, can I delete this folder after successful driver installation?

  As I saw that the folder contains subfolders with files of extracted packages, files etc. some newspapers.

  Yes.

  You can delete the folder after the installation of the driver.

• ITunes does not start after the installation of Windows 10

  ITunes does not start after the installation of Windows 10, 1511 version (OS Build 10586.164). ITunes version 12.3.2.35, 6 GB RAM, Intel i3 @3.3 GHz. Itunes and Ipodserver module will run by Manager jobs, but Itunes does not open. iTunes starts in SafeMode as explained in the link below (hold SHIFT and control on your keyboard while you open iTunes).

  Fix unexpectedly closes or problems of launch in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

  Solution, according to this link, is:

  If the problem does not occur in Mode safe, remove any third party plug-ins iTunes: solving problems with third party plug-ins - Support Apple iTunes but the link has been archived, and I can't find any plug-ins installed iTunes. Any other ideas?

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

  The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
  I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

  I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

  This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

  QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

  The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

  (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

  Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)
  John

  You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

  And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

  That is right.

  Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

  His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

  I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

  I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

  The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

  Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

• can not start after the installation of 10 Windows via bootcamp OSX

  Hello, I need help.

  I tried to install 10 Windows via bootcamp, and I did it successfully with no problems. However, after the installation, I restarted my computer, hold down the option key and tried to boot into OS X, but it won't work. It would be a symbol that boot lead me to windows 10!

  all solutions? I do not have a backup of my files under OSX, I lose my files?

  NOTE: when I formatted the partition for windows, he said not bootcamp next to him, but it is clear that the partition that I had to format, it is the same size that I decided to make Windows when I was in bootcamp in OSX + it was empty at 100%.

  UPDATE 1: so I managed to get into the recovery of the internet and deleted the partition that had the windows and install OSX Marverix instead (temporarily) also, I fixed the hard drive MACINTOSH HD, but now I can't boot it at all when I press the option button during the priming of the mac. all solutions?

• Windows 7 does not start after the installation of updates - sounds familiar!

  Apparently, I have another system that no longer starts after you install an update to Windows 7. New kick computer _ I have to disable the automatic update of windows. Twice I had to restore the system in the first week because he hung up after the installation of updates for windows 7. I have no idea what update is the cause of the problem.

  Essentially, start the screen goes black with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner of the screen. The only way out is to restore the system.

  Does anyone know what update is the culpret? HP support has no idea. Their only solution was to update windows 7 to 'never download an update from windows '. It is a terrible thing to be underestimated solution.

  Here's the resolution...

  I installed all the updates except KB2284742 954430, 973688 and 971033. So I decided to install these 1 4 at a time in the order shown. I installed successfully 228472 and 954430 and 973688 disappeared from the list of available updates. So I installed 971033 and it installed successfully and I was still able to restart.

  My conclusion is that there is a conflict between the first 3 updates when they are installed at the same time.

  Now my system is up to date with all windows updates and I'm able to restart without any problems!
