-You can burn recovery discs on your own, reading instructions for a key recovery or take a look at this thread.

-It is not void your warranty

You must change the ide/sata settings in the bios to install xp, either said passing.

    I don't want to use Photos, but when I try to import photos from my camera to the opening, the computer switches me to the Photos automatically.  How can I avoid this and just stay with Aperture?

    At the launch of Photos, select the camera in the sidebar of the Import the import panel Panel.  Clear the check mark 'Open pictures for this device'. The next time you connect your camera, Photos should not, launch if you use the same card and do not reformat the card.

  • When installing sync tells me my e-mail address is already in use and won't let me go any further. I just got an email and do not want to install another. How can I configure sync?

    I can log in account synchronization with this URL https://account.services.mozilla.com management and is listed. When I go to the tab sync in the Preferences window, only two options are listed: set up a new account and or to pair a device. Setting up an account, I cannot use the e-mail address that I'd like to, saying that the email is already in use. I can not "associate a device" because the computer I'm trying to 'pair' is my main computer (laptop). I used sync mode at the time when it first came out and it seems as if there are new requirements (legal and other) forces me to set up a new account. How to set up and use the synchronization with the email address, I have already in place without having to use another email address?

    There was a major change in synchronization services back in December 2010, but nothing w9th regard to the username / email address and password for this time.

    This will reset your synchronization password if you don't remember, an existing account.

    Hey mileycbond

    If vista is already preinstalled contact your computer manfacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disks to do a clean install of vista

    and perhaps for do you to save the purchase of recovery disks ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista back to factory standards

    I want to remove pre-installed windows 8 and want to install windows xp in hp 6 but idont know how to install

    Hello

    First thing to do is to go to the HP website and see if the XP drivers are available for your model of HP.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    If there is no XP drivers, XP does not work for you.

    If the XP drivers are available, looking for a place to buy XP, which is a terrible thing to do as Microsoft did not sell XP for many years.

    You run the very serious risk of buying pirated XP software from anywhere on the Net.

    Stay with your preinstalled Windows 8.

    See you soon.

    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.

    I want to install windows 7 and I get an error saing that I need to install via windows PE? How can I go about it?

    Hello

    1. you try to perform a new installation of Windows 7?

    2. where did you buy the Windows 7 DVD?

    This particular message occurs generally if you try to perform an upgrade on the spot of a recovery disc or installation support OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) that contains a custom defined configuration and can't stand not running an upgrade installation.

    The message means that you probably need to start using the installation media. You can also contact the manufacturer of your computer to determine the type of installation media that you have and to confirm what options are available when booting from the disc.

    Here are some links that provide additional information about the installation of Windows 7:
