The upgrade to Windows XP?

Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

    Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool.

As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

  • Can I download Windows XP and save it to a disk?

    WINDOWS XP / HOME EDITION / 2002 VERSION / SERVICE PACK 3

    Can I download Windows XP Service Pack 3 on the Microsoft site and save it to a disk?
    I was going to wipe my hard drive and reinstall the operating system on my machine, but I don't have the original CD supplied with my machine.
    I was informed by a representative of Microsoft Answers to contact the manufacturer of my machine because windows was preinstalled. After contacting the manufacturer of my machine, the representative told me that I could buy a Windows XP installation CD and install Windows XP on my machine.
    Is it possible to download Windows XP Home Edition / Service Pack 3 on a website and burn it to a CD and then use that CD to reinstall the Windows XP operating system on my machine? That's what I need http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=25129
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    NO, you can not do what you plan to do.

    The files available for download called "Windows XP Service Pack 3" are updated to a full installation of Windows XP.  You can either download an ISO (or 'image') - which is what is your link - or executable file (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24).

    The ISO file or image is used to create a CD using software able to do this, for example ImgBurn(free).

    In both cases, what you get is the 'service pack' and not the full Windows operating system.

    You need a Windows XP installation CD.  It may be 'gold' (as originally published) or you can find one that integrates the service pack 1 or service pack 2 or service pack 3.  If you get a pre - sp3 installation CD, you will need to update the installation soon after installation.  You can go from sp 1 directly to sp3 without need to install sp2, but if you get an installation CD "gold" you first need to install sp 1 or sp2 before installing sp3.

    Because Microsoft stopped selling Windows XP some time ago, real installation CD are becoming harder to find.

    Although the representative of the manufacturer of your computer is correct that you could buy a Windows XP installation CD and install it, the manufacturer was hired by its license from Microsoft to provide you with a method of re-installing Windows when you purchased the computer.  This may have been a restore partition hidden on your hard drive or a CD/DVD that came with your computer.  I guess that you have lost or damaged what was initially provided so the manufacturer is more able or do not want to replace it with a CD.

    How to reinstall Windows 8

    You have two options:

    If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

    Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

    Option 2:

    If you create an installation DVD or a USB bootable, you can use them to reinstall Windows. First, you will need to reinstall license qualification, then begin the upgrade to Windows 8. License of qualification means that you will need to reinstall Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

    Option 3:

    A workaround for this situation is to create a system image of Windows 8, just after you have upgraded. So if your drive plant, you can simply restore the image on a new hard drive or restore the image on the same drive, if you want to reinstall Windos 8.

    See the following for instructions on how to create an image of the installation process of Windows 8:
