Windows vista need to install windows 7 locked out

You will need to do a clean install of Windows 7, with a disc FULL of 7 Windows/license, if you can't get in your Vista operating system.

  • Have CS6 installed on Windows Vista, need to install the new computer of Windows 8

    The disc does not start the installation program. If I manually start the installation program, it requires a serial number. When I entered the serial number, he asked that the associated product and CS6 is not displayed in the drop-down option. (Extended CS6 is indicated, but not cs6).

    How can I get CS6 install on the new computer in Windows 8?

    Hello

    Welcome to the community!

    It seems that you bought an improved cs6 serial number and asked for an earlier version.

    You have a previous version of CS5.5 or CS5?

  • Windows 7 locked out

    Locked put off of one of my computers. You don't have to remember the password. My password hint is not helping? Anyone know of a solution?

    To be honest with you, it's a friend's computer. He has no idea where is the DVD. Don't you think that there is a work around or maybe just reformat and start from scratch. There is no important data on the C; drive.

    In Windows 7, there are several methods to resolve this problem:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
  • Windows 8 locked out.

    Started the Acer laptop but just missed seeing a notice on the first screen - login screen says app prevented the closing down and the computer is locked.

    As I thought I had a virus I pressed the power button and the screen is blank but the laptop is not stopped. I checked the internet on my desk and found that it is a common problem with Win 8.

    I've updated Windows Essentials the previous night.

    I tried to insert a recovery USB flash drive - nothing happens.

    Help!

    That the message is probably not a virus - it is very common for a prevention program stops.  By example, if you have even just a Notepad file open and waiting for you to decide if you want to save it or not, it is likely to block the closure.

    Depriving of electricity directly in now the power button is also very bad and can damage the system.  Use it only as an absolute last resort.

    Regarding the current situation, can you let me know what happens now, when you try to turn on your computer?  Message/error/problem do you see?

    Hi, CPC,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
     
    You must install Flight simulator on vista as well as Windows Xp and vista are two different operating systems.
     
    You log in to vista, you may not use any of the XP application and vice versa.

    What browser do you use to download the licenses?

    In the meantime, if you are using a third-party browser, you can try to set Internet Explorer as default browser and check if the problem is resolved.

  • 10 Windows Installer needs re install SoundMAX...

    Maybe it wasn't the smartest computer decision that I've ever done, but I have an old HP nw8440 Mobile Workstation that I installed Windows 8.1 on and then installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on. So far so good. But last night Microsoft installed upgrading of version newest and he needs to re - install SoundMAX inorder to give back me my audio. What drivers and do I use to thios OS, because HP has only drivers for this model of laptop until Windows Vista? If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

    Thank you

    Randy McPhie

    Hi, Randy:

    I would try the Vista audio driver from support of your PC and driver page.

    You may need to install manually if auto installation does not work.

    It's fun to experiment with operating systems.

    I currently hit a brick with the latest version W10 wall on my HP Elitebook 6930p.

    Everything worked great until the latest version is out.

    Now I get a Code of 12 on my reader (not enough system resources).

    I pointed out the error, as well as not being able to get rid of the lock screen, even if I set group policy to disable.

    When the next generation comes out, I'll give it another shot.

    1. install 'Virtual PC' on your Vista system and then use your XP Vista or
