XP to Windows 7 Upgrade on SCSI system
I am runnig XP Pro and I bought Windows 7 Home Premium. I want to upgrade. I run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and everything is there. Now, I have two problems. (1) my system is completely SCSI. The BONE was on the C; ------C:\ crashed and I installed a 2nd copy on another drive. It's now my boot drive. I think I can upgrade to Windows 7, "Custom Installation", but I can't find a driver for my guest card. (2) I would like to make my current boot C:\ drive, but do not know if this is possible.
the only way to make a start on the c: OS / player is to disconnect all the drives except one and install fresh windows.
You cannot change the drive letter of the boot drive if it is different from c:
as for a driver, you must go to the manufacturer's Web site to find a compatible driver for xp or win 7 according to which you want to install.

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

Hello
I have an oldschool pre-constructed Dell I tried to fix up for my wife. The vehicle currently has Windows XP, I'm looking to improve this.
I bought a key license Pro Windows 8.1, then downloaded the ISO directly from Microsoft software.I burned the ISO to a disc and tried to boot from the disk.
He managed to start the Windows Logo appears, but after a few minutes, before he gives me all the options, I get an error message and have to restart. This happens every time.I have more then the minimum specifications required for 8.1.
I've never dealt with OEM software before and my new driver's license is an OEM key (not that I even got to the step to use it), but I wonder if the OEM of XP is what is causing my problems.
I'm a PC Builder, avoiding the pre built, but as this has been given to me, I could not say no, but I haven't tried messing around with a considered before, so don't know if she permettai in place to stop the upgrade.
Any information would be appreciated.
Hello
Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.
Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.
If this is not available, Windows 8/8.1 not install and work properly for you.

Windows 7 to Windows 10 Upgrade - system did not recognize the activation code.
Original title: Windows 7 to Windows 10 Upgrade
I bought a refurb (HP3115m) computer clips that were preinstalled Windows 7 Professional that I have upgraded to Windows Pro 10. I have not used the computer for a while - more than 30 days. When I came back to it, asked me an activation code, I have, but the system does not recognize it. I called the people of refurb and they gave me another product code, but that doesn't work anymore. They told me it was a MS problem and nothing to do with them, but now I'm stuck because it does not go back to Windows 7 and the old Windows files have disappeared from my hard drive. It's so boring.
Can anyone help?

I'll buy a kit of barebones without preinstalled operating system and was wondering if I could use my Windows 7 upgrade disk to install Windows on the new PC.
Short answer 'NO '.
Upgrade means upgrade. An upgrade can only be used to upgrade a previous version of XP or Vista. You will need to purchase a full retail or OEM version to install on a computer without an operating system.

My title pretty much sums up my problem.
I need to buy a new hard drive. All I have is the Windows 7 upgrade disk I bought for some time. I can the Windows 7 installed on this drive, or I have to buy a copy of Vista/XP to install and upgrade?
If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.
How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
Click on drive Options
Select the disc/s click on Delete
Click new
Click on apply
Click OK
Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.
When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click the link x days before activation.
Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.
Enter the product key
Click next
Select the Activation of the phone
Click Next when you enter your key page
Select your country
Click Next, call the number listed
Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.
Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent
They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it
Click next to complete the activation.
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.
