Windows Version Riddle

I have a Dell laptop, 4 years I bought with Windows Vista: no disc has been with the package. Recently, the hard drive has lost its boot sector and I was forced to buy a new hard drive, through Dell's service. The problem was that Dell in South Africa did not have a DVD of Windows Vista available - they said that responsible person Vista more.

I would not allow Dell to load Windows 7 because I was afraid that my backups could not be found. Windows Vista Business has been loaded using the license of my company as an interim measure. I restored my data but now I need to get legal with my Widnows. First of all, I wanted to buy an upgrade from Windows 7 to Vista Business, but I couldn't find a DVD in SA, so I bought the DVD of Windows 7 OEM System Builder. But this required a clean install, I initially wanted to avoid (I didn't have to re - install all my software). So now that I have to do a clean install, I might as well get Windows 8.  I already bought a Windows 8 OEM DVD in an online store. I shall be legal after I do a new install?

Kind regards

Mike

Hello

Follow these steps before you try and install Windows 8.

Go to the DELL website > equip your cell phone model and check if Windows 8 drivers are available for it

If none is available from Dell; Windows 8 does not work for you.

  • 8.5.1 LabVIEW Student Edition - differences between the Mac and Windows versions?

    Hello

    I just bought the student of LabVIEW 8.5.1 version and I use Mac OS X 10.4.11. What are the biggest differences between the Mac and Windows versions, since the box came with a CD of installation of Mac and a Windows DVD Installer?

    See you soon

    Looks like you got the LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite DVD.

    It comes with 6 boxes to tools, and the TME product, some (or all?) of those who are windows only (at least 8.5), for example:

    • Toolkit Digital Filter Design
    • Modulation Toolkit
    • SignalExpress
    • ...

    Since you have 8.5, you are missing also a few basic things that only recevied at the 8.6MAC support, like Mathscript, Control design and Simulation and native 3D graphics.

  • Railroad Tycoon 2 on Windows 7 error - setup.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit Windows versions

    I'm playing the game "Railroad Tycoon 2-Gold edition" on my laptop which is running Windows 7. Whenever I try to install it, he repeats to me - "the program or feature? \G:\_setup\setup.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit Windows versions"... .and there is nothing I can't do to go around that at all.  Normally with my old games I can at least install, then just then change to be compatible and is not, but I can not here. Any help would be great I want to play this game, it's one of my favorites and I hate how I can't play everything simply because computers are better than them... If this is the case, then they should still be able to support games that are 10 + years older than them, you know? I can add more information if needed, thank you.

    You must contact the manufacturer to see if they have a patch for Windows 7. He would come by the manufacturer and not by Microsoft.

    Thank you

    Try to download and install the .NET Framework directly from Microsoft.  If you have already installed a version and get unsuccessfully with the update - you may want to uninstall the installed versions and the installation later.

  • I constantly get this pop-up a windows version Installer.

    Original title: Windows Installer Version seeks really fishy...

    So I constantly get this pop-up an installer for the windows version, and I really think it's fishy. I think that maybe it's a virus. Is this the case?

    My computer has windows 8 btw.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Here is a screenshot

    I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software. The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software. http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • is the number of identical series for a mac and windows version

    I bought CS6 standard in 2012.  This is the mac and windows version. Is the number of identical series for both?  I started with windows and now have a mac pro.  Adobe does not accept the serial number.  I already have activated 2 computers.  I can't tell if Adobe does not accept the serial number because I reached the max activations or the mac version has a different serial number.  It just says: the serial number is not valid.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    IIRC, they are different - you must contact technical support directly to solve this - we cannot do anything here to questions of activation.

    What should I do?

    Product change or the language platform - they might still be offering this for CS6, although it gets old...

    You can exchange languages/platforms for a newer version product if you follow the instructions on the following link:

    You can exchange only once and lose the Windows license, when you switch to the Mac

    I have the windows version of Lightroom 6.2.1 and whenever I try to go to edit in Photoshop, he says "this version of Lightroom needs a Camera Raw version 9.2" my photoshop has only 9.1.1.461 for full compatibility.  But my desktop version of Photoshop will accept only Camera Raw 9.2.   HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Does anyone have an idea on this problem.  Or have I been left in a Catch 22?

    The latest version of Camera Raw compatible with Photoshop CS6 is 9.1. Lightroom is programmed to warn you when you do not have the version of Camera Raw that is fully compatible. But this does not mean that you cannot continue to use Photoshop. Simply choose the option to open a copy which includes Lightroom adjustments. Lightroom will create the TIF or PSD first, and that the file is what will be opened in Photoshop. It will include all the adjustments you have made using Lightroom. Also, on the screen of your messages, you specify to not display this message. Then, you can continue using Lightroom and Photoshop as you are accustomed to using it. At this point, I don't think that there are no changes that are different. I remember correctly, the only changes made in Camera Raw 9.2 were the additions of new cameras.

    In any case, Camera Raw 9.1 is that you can go with Photoshop CS6. If you think that it is necessary for you to have full compatibility, your only option would be to upgrade to the creative cloud. It is really not necessary to do so, however.
