You can easily buy an upgrade to Windows 8. For example, the command
Amazon.com.

However, note the following:

1. Although you can use the upgrade version, it is not really a
upgrade; He's going to do a clean install, which means that you will
reinstall all your programs.

2. you can use Windows 8 drivers for some of the materials in
your computer and it is likely that its manufacturer is not
them is available for an old man like a Windows XP - era computer.

3. While your computer can meet the minimum requirements for
Windows XP, it will almost certainly not be Windows 8 with
acceptable performance. You probably need to update several
hardware components and it can cost much more to buy a new
computer.

  • Windows 7 product key for purchase online.

    My copy of Windows 7 pro 64-bit kept crashing, so I decided to do a new install. Now, my first purchase of this software was Microsoft online, and when I did I chose to buy a recovery disk as well. for some reason, Microsoft refused to send a product key with the recovery disc, and now I can not activate my reinstallation of Windows 7. Is there anyway that I can deal with this without having to pay twice for the same software?

    Q: where can I find my product key?

    R: your product key will provide your purchase. However, if you need to find it once again it is back on your email confirmation or your digital content.

    To find your product key:

    1. Sign in with your Microsoft account.
    2. In the menu select the digital content
    3. Find your Windows 10 purchase and you can see your product key

  • Windows Defender is available for Microsoft Windows XP SP3?

    I had an idea that she had been replaced by MSE

    Yes, Windows Defender is available for Windows XP SP3:

    Windows Defender
     http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/winfamily/Defender/default.mspx

    However, given that Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program and Microsoft Security Essentials is an anti-spyware and anti-virus program, the two must not be run at the same time due to possible conflicts - they would both attempt to do the same thing.

    For more information, please see the following thread:

  • Has been contacted by "Microsoft" Windows about a refund for customers of PC care online, wants to deposit money in my account to credit. Is it a scam?

    Original title: URGENT IS a SCAM please ADVISE as soon as possible

    I was just contacted by "Microsoft" Windows about a refund for customers of PC online care because the company was closed due to the breach of contract.

    This person wants to deposit money in my account to credit.  IS IT A SCAM?   Looks like a.

    The person could not give me no details as their ID verification

    Thank you

    Beth

    This just happened to me today, the person said in English that they were from Microsoft Windows to D.C. and I got the 2 refunds coming, one for 49.99 and one for 300.00. When you press on for more information, that they finally gave up. They wanted me to turn on my computer, so they could process this information. I never contacted Microsoft for anything, ever. Sounds like a scam to me.

  • Windows could not search for new updates (error code 80004002)

    Windows could not search for new updates and gives the error code "80004002" I tried to reinstall UpdateAgent (fatal error encountered) and I tried the MSFixIt and the automatic troubleshooter. Also tried everything to this forum and nothing helps: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/460975/windows-update-code-80004002/

    When I try the "sfc/scannow" it gives me that he can't sweep.

    I have looked everywhere and tried everything. Help me the microsoft community, you're my only hope.

    Hello

    Thank you for your update on the issue.

    Since you have already done SFC scan, I suggest you perform a repair installation (upgrade Inplace). There seems to be some corruption of system files and the repair facility should be able to fix them.

    Note: before proceeding with the installation of repair, I suggest you make a backup of all your data.

    Backup your files: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-your-files

    To perform a repair installation, follow the steps in the following article:

  • Envy of HP dv7 - 7323CL: HP driver not available for my laptop after the WIN10, now said to use Windows updates

    I think I got this, just need confirmation, before I was going to HP.com to find udpated pilots, then site Web HP said if computers purchased after August 2013 have been tested, I think you could get the updates via the HP with WIN10 site.  My pc model was purchased in February 2013, it seems now that I have WIN10 there is no drivers for me page to go it says that I need to go to the updates of Windows.  Before I upgraded to 10, I was 8, and I had full access to the drivers download through HP.com page.  However, I think I understand now, I had a problem with the Norton Removal Tool, after using it, it makes my pilot biometric and disabled the Windows Hello to WIN10 - the reader of fingerprints for a connection.  The pilot appeared to be corrupted and I needed to just reinstall.  I finally found an old forum via HP where someone has had the same problem that I did and they are found to include a link for the driver, and it worked for my model of laptop and solved the problem.  After some tests, I uninstalled the driver and learned at that time, after the driver is uninstalled, I can go to Windows Update and it will search and find the driver that I uninstalled and offer me the download to reinstall.  That's cool.  So, I understand now that even now if the drivers are not available for my model via HP.com, I can now just do a search through Windows Update and it will fix the problem, only after that I uninstalled it through Control Panel, Device Manager, once I uninstalled, restarted the computer, then did the updates of Windows It downloaded the driver, like when I went to the Control Panel, Device Manager, I saw the biometric driver in good working condition.  This is the case now with who need driver updates / reinstall?  (Note: to update the drivers, I know too much, you can go to control panel, Manager of devices, and then click the driver and select Update driver software.)

    Hi @MVP1 ,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I have, I understand that you are concerned about Windows 10 updtaes. I'll be happy to help you.

    You are right.  Microsoft took the drivers for this computer.  All updates will now come from Microsoft.

    Its really annoying that I can't scroll down pages because the Synaptics pointing device has no update
    Any help please?
    Thank you

    This model is quite old and has been supported for Win7. I can just say... no luck. A lot of older machines may well work with newer operating systems, but they are not officially supported.

    What should do? Try to check if the drivers, tools and utilities for a newer machine with similar hardware can be used on your laptop Satellite A.

    I had the similar problem in the past with Vista and no supported Win7.

  • Some features of Windows are not available.

    I have an IdeaPad p580 and I noticed that a few basic functionality of windows are not available. I use Windows 7 Home premium SP1 and everything else is usually straight out of the box. I guess these are the basic features of windows because I learn about them in an intro to the class of Windows operating system.

    When I try to use secpol.msc in the start menu, windows cannot find it, and also when I try to encrypt a file or a file this option is grayed out. I think Veriface is the encrypt function creep, or another software that is preinstalled is to play with things.

    No idea as to what could be the cause? Is my book misleading me, I may get to such a different way?
