Can I run window 8.1 pro on hp a450n

Can I run window 8.1 pro on hp a450n with upgrade 2gb ram.

According to the specs for your HP Pavilion a450n Desktop Computer, this model use an Intel Pentium 4 and is almost 10 years old. Please run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant or  Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to see if your computer is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1
I tend to think your computer doesn't support some of the needed technologies to run Windows 8 / 8.1
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

    Not without using a VM. XP is no longer supported in Boot Camp or on newer Apple computers.

    I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

    Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required.  I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud.  Now I get the famous white screen:
    It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now). 
    Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
    del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
    Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
    Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work.  I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
    I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

  • HT1846 The 2012 Mac Mini's are listed on this article. Can I run windows 7 64-bit on it and/or the 32-bit?

    The 2012 Mac Mini's are listed on this article. Can I run windows 7 64-bit on it and/or the 32-bit?

    I would buy nothing less than Windows 7 64-bit Pro.
    32-bit only addresses 3.5 GB RAM ... 2012 Macminis can hold 16 GB.
    64-bit Home addresses 16 GB RAM.
    64-bit Pro addresses 192 GB RAM and han an XP mode.
    This is all about having a good version of Windows for future use.  Yu can buy "Syem Builder" version of 64-bit Pro for $140.

  • Mid-2009 MBP, 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 9600 512 MB can't run Windows 8?

    I  have a 17"  mid-2009 MacBook Pro with a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M
    GT 512MB.  Recently upgraded to OS X MAvericks 10.9.4.  I wish to run 3DS MAx Design using Boot CAmp. 
    The Boot Camp Assistant, downloading the Windows installers says my system can only run Windows 7.  [The newly-opened Windows 8.1 disc is right here.]  Can this be right?  Might you please identify the weak point?  Should I upgrade?  Is the memory the reason?  Is the assistant wrong?  What should I do.
    Using 3ds max, would it be wise to upgrade the memory in any case.  When the correct Windows softyware is determined and installed,  how large should I set the partition.  Thank you for helping me.

    Thanks, Kappy.  Please, I'd read those system requirements before; I still don't understand where my system falls short.  Both 7 and 8 stipulate a 1GHz processor.  Graphics card I don't know the difference.  So it's memory- I have insufficient accesible memory?  If my purpose is to manipulate highly featured images, should I upgrade memory in any case.  Does it make much difference whether it's 7 or 8?  Some places I know my footing.  Here, not.  Step by step.  Thanks!

  • Can i run windows in the background?

    hi there
    i have recently purchased a macbook pro 13" and i know that it is possible to split the hard disk to be able to install windows OS, but i was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to leave windows running in the background and switch back to OSX?
    the reason i want to try and do this is because i have a USB device for my fish tank that monitors several peramitors and uploads them to an online account so i can see what is going on in my fish tank, however it needs a local piece of software for it to be able to do this and at the minute this is only available for windows hence my question, im hoping i can get around it by spliting my mac in this way but it needs to be able to run in the background as a parralel system.
    any help would be great.

    Hey,
    You can buy Virtual Machine apps such as VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop for Mac and these will let you run Windows as a Virtual Machine (on top of Mac OS X). You can then run Windows programs as well as Mac ones.
    If you need any more help, please ask

  • With Mac OS 10.6.7 can I run windows XP?

    I want to use Boot Camp to slipt my hard Drive so that I can run windows, but the only widows disks I own are XP and Vista but I have heard that with the OS 10.6.7 I can't run windows XP, which is what I really want.
    So is it possible to use Boot Camp to run Windows XP with Mac OS 10.6.7?
    btw I dont know if it matters but I have a Mac book Pro 13in with Core i7, 4GB memory, and 500GB hard Drive.

    MacBook Pro 2011 now only supports and supplies drivers etc for Windows 7, not XP.
    Probably due to all the changes needed to support Sandy Bridge processors, SATA3 and ThunderBolt.
    if you have 2010 then yes.
    And don't rule out using a VM - not good for games but can be for non-intensive apps.
    And you probably want Windows 7 64-bit to use 4GB or more (and your MBP takes 8GB RAM, 16GB for 2011).
    PS: This is regarding MacBook Pro, totally different from "Mac Pro"

  • Can I run Windows 8.1 using VirtualBox on my Macbook?

    The system requirements for Windows 8.1 says that it needs "Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver".  Can I run Windows 8.1 using VirtualBox on my Macbook? It's a late 2009 model with an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card & 2 GB of RAM. (Do I need more RAM?)
    Thanks!

    While I can't answer to the BootCamp specification, I can state the use of Windows and Mac OS X in the MacBook will invite a need to upgrade the RAM; likely to the max it can use. Matching RAM of quality specs so the system will work. The specs are important, as details are everything.
    You'd likely use Boot Camp to make a partition on the internal HDD, but then the overall capacity for Mac OS X could be compromised. When you remove a partition, you'd use BootCamp again, or you'd have to erase content in order to restore to original capacity. Disk Utility generally has a harder time with a BootCamp partition.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

    On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive.  I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

    Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
    Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

  • Can you run windows 7 as vmware on mac or ipad

    Can I run windows 7 on my Mac or use a iPad and use VMware on them.

    You can run Windows on your Mac, but not on an iPad.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    Maybe too much work in your case to run 64-bit but yes.
    2GB RAM is on the low end though for anything in the last 4 yrs - Mac OS Snow Leopard included.
