Windows Recovery DVD of 8.1 for the upgrade?

Similar Questions

• From what I read, if I buy a commercial version full of windows 7, I am not eligible for the upgrade of $14.95 to windows 8 in about 6 months.

  I'm about to buy a computer with 16 GB of memory. I'll of course need a 64 bit OS, it looks like a good time to switch to windows 7, XP. But windows 7 seems to have a very short life span. The OEM version is eligible for a special download offer upgrade $ 14.95 to windows 8 that seems due Q1 2013, but it seems that the retail version is not eligible for this offer? Like many people I do not upgrade OS every time is out. But why would I pay for an OS which is replaced in 6 months?

  Huh?

  14.99 reduction is a limited offer in time when you buy a new computer between June 2, 2012 and on January 31, 2013, with Windows 7. By October 26, 2012, the PC of all major manufacturers will come preloaded with Windows 8. The thing, it is likely to be the inventory on the market with Windows 7 for a while of OEM brand. If a consumer buys one of them, they should have the eligibility for the upgrade of Windows 8.

  Of course, you can buy the new computer with Windows 7 pre-loaded, acquire the Windows 8 upgrade what becomes availalable and install it at your leisure and activate it whenever you're ready.

  Yes, the retail version of Windows 7 is not eligible for the upgrade 14.99 discount, but you can get an updated copy of Windows 8 Pro for 39.99 beginning October 26, 2012 and ending on January 31, 2013.

• I want to install Windows 7 to be able to play DVDs, I have to pay for the upgrade?

  installation of Windows 7

  Hi, I am running Windows XP and I would like to install Windows 7 in order to play DVDs.  I pay for the upgrade?  I am not very computer, is - this easy to install so free.
  Thank you
  JO Smith

  First of all, you need not to install Windows 7 to play the DVD.  WinXP is perfectly capable of reading DVDs, as long as you have a DVD drive and the drivers appropriate devices and Codecs installed.

  Yes, if you want to upgrade to Windows 7, you will need to buy at least a license upgrade.  However, the "ease" of the upgrade process is relative, based almost entirely on your level of knowledge and skills.  In general, the process is fairly automatic: just observe the instructions on the screen.

  You should, before you continue, make sure that your computer is able to support Windows 7, and that the manufacturers of all connected devices (printer, scanner, webcam, etc.) have provided drivers for devices on Windows 7 for these items will continue to work.

  I bought the upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Vista CD, then had a hard drive crash, then installed a new hard drive. Load the purchased Windows 7 on new hard drive, now I get the message '... Software Licensing Service determined that specified only usable product key for the upgrade, not for new installations. That means that I have to load Vista on the new hard drive, and then update? Both for the end user (paying customer) hostile.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  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 upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  I am planning to buy a pc and a Windows 7 (DSP) separately and according to the recent announcement of MS regarding on the upgrade of Windows 8, all Windows 7 users who have made their purchase between June and December are eligible for the upgrade of the OS for $15

• 0x8007002C error code - 0x4000D allocated (failure) the upgrade of windows 8 for windows 8.1. PC keeps trying the upgrade.

  Hello

  After hours of download and installation procedures, I met this "0x8007002C error Code - 0x4000D.
  This means that my upgrade of windows 8 for windows 8.1 failed. And not only that, now, I can't seem to stop my PC from acting on its own and to try the upgrade again and again. After running for some time, my PC is forced to restart. That's how the upgrade normal 8.0 to 8.1 takes place, only that my upgrade fails, takes hours to return to windows 8, allows me to work for a little while before doing the same thing all over again!
  I can handle Windows 8 a another couple of weeks, but like this, I'm not sure. So please help me.

  I've been running WinUp have failed upgrade from 10014 was available 2 or 3 weeks ago.  I was on the fast ring until yesterday when I saw that MSFT had issued some 10014 isos.  I have the .iso image file but I don't know any way (tell me if there are) run the file image .iso without formatting (that is the ideal situation, but I want to save my settings).

  I just wanted to say that whenever I see people have a hard time to install something, I always disable the AV, which for me is the default one built into Windows Defender) in Windows built 10. So I was failing to install on the black screen with a circle around the high proportion of progress of the installation of two weeks to get up to 70%) and disable the AV did not make a difference.

  I n ' t frankly found the explanation for this error using Google or Bing AV or otherwise. Often, I tried a bunch of forum threads Windows 10 outside but could not get a definitive explanation. I wonder why the world MSFT would not only list explicitly what are the problems without hiding it behind a series of meaningless numbers.  I hit the event viewer, and it did not help at all - as is often the case.

  Update Windows 10 Techinical Preview.

  We have restored the previous version of windows on this computer.

  0X8007002C - 0 x 30018

  I hoped when the .iso image file was released that MSFT could have improved their code for installation with Winup (fast or slow ring) to help the large percentage of people who have failed to install, but appears not to be the case.  I don't know if they have improved the code or not.

  Thank you

  I've updated to windows 8.1. Thanks to no support from Microsoft. Had to go like 50 websites and try 10 methods until I was finally able to download an iso of windows 8.1 that works with my OEM supplied windows 8.

  Try searching for the Installation of windows by using the ISO. You can download the ISO Downloader windows since Ms. If you have a windows OEM (dell / hp etc.) with built-in win8, you will have to perhaps select the iso right and install it. Once installed, go to the activation and windows with automatically activated with your authentic win8 key.

  I don't know why MS makes it so difficult to get the iso standard. Try this method. You will be saved of all evil.

• Cannot activate Windows 8 error "the Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not to own pieces."

  Original title: invalid product key :(

  Today, I tried to load my computer and was faced with the blue screen error short story that my hard drive some how became corrupt and had no partition. Fortunately, I had a friend who told me step by step how to solve this problem using my hard drive in my brothers pc. When it came to reinstalling windows I booted the computer directly from my windows disc 8 and when I tried to activate the key once I was ready to I received an error Code: 0xC004F061Description: The Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not for own pieces. Means that I can not use the key I bought and must buy a new one? It seems really unfair because I've already spent money on the upgrade.

  You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

  If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• Space required for the upgrade to Windows 8.1

  Hi, I have a 32 GB SSD drive in my XPS with Windows 8 14. This 4 GB is free. If I opt for the upgrade to Windows 8.1, it replaces the Windows 8 files or consume this extra space after Windows 8? Windows 8.1 download size is 3, 8 GB.

  If I have problems with the hard disk space, is it possible to roll back the upgrade? Thank you very much!!

  You need 16 GBs minimum free space to accommodate the Setup routine...

  16 GB for 32-bit

  20 GB for 64-bit

  If installation success does not, he will return to its original state.

  Note that you can work with two screens and drag and drop the image to display on the other window.

  I think you mean working temporarily with the window enlarged image without displaying all the tools and panels.

  See:

  Panels and bins in Photoshop Elements

  My advice: take the time to read the above help and especially to look at ways to maximize this window if you are on Mac or Win.

  Set your preferences in the Edit menu to "allow the floating windows in expert mode.

  Use the "tab" on the keyboard key to hide or show your panels and tools quickly.

  Questions about Windows 7

  Hello

  If the system is upgradeable to Windows 7 there should be no problem however things
  can and go wrong.

  1. make sure that you have backups. Redundancy is good, many using different methods.

  2. run the Upgrade Advisor and verification of the major features with the Compatibility Center.

  3. check with your system manufacturer and device BIOS manufacturers and drivers for
  Windows 7. Many manufacturers have special instructions and help to help upgrade
  for Windows 7. Many also have warnings on the traps, we should take account of.
