Currently Windows 7 PCs can upgraded to Win 8.1 or Win 10 without re-installing Applications?

Currently Windows 7 PCs can upgraded to Win 8.1 or Win 10
without reinstalling Applications or deleting data?
To install Win 10 review - where find if Win 7 Pro PC is compatible?

For help with using Windows please post in the appropriate forums on http://answers.microsoft.com . They're on a different system so you'll need to repost. We cannot move this for you.
For the Windows 10 Technical Preview see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp?tab=Threads
That said, I believe you can upgrade without reinstalling apps or deleting data.

Can't Transfer App to iPod? iPod must have Installing Applications ON

If you can't transfer iTunes app to iPod or check the iTunes box for "Automatically Install New Apps", make sure your iPod has the setting for "Installing Applications" set to ON. (Settings --> General --> Restrictions --> Installing Applicatons == "ON").
I had wrongly assumed this item setting applied to installation of iPod Apps directly from the Internet, not through the PC. I was wrong. Others might need to know this as well.

The Restrictions applies to both direct download and syncing.

How can I reformat my MBP's hard drive without the Install Disk?

My MacBook Pro got a virus, and I need to reformat my computer without the Install Disk (I don't have it anymore).
Is it possible to fix it?

you don't have a virus.
your best antivirus is already installed in your Macbook. It's called OS X Lion. (fully updated).
do not install any memory resident antivirus in your computer. Especially anything made by Norton or Mackeeper.
download and install ClamX AV a non memory resident anti virus and scan your macbook once a week.
since you're running Lion, you can create a Lion Recovery Disk Assitant in a USB Thumb Drive. Click here. for more info.

Can't open any apps downloaded from the internet after installing application loader update and messages beta

I've run into an unusual problem recently. I think it it related to two recent software installs.The problem only started after i installed the new application loader.
My issue : I'm unable to open application I downloaded from the web. I get the following error message below.
Question: Has anyone else run into this issue and do you have a solution?
Thanks for you help.
P.S I haven't tried rolling back the lastest softwarte installs yet. I'm hoping I can avoid that.

When I press cancel nothing happens. I can do nothing and it still won't load the program.

G780 won't stay in current window

My laptop comes out of the current window - continually. I can be typing an email, and suddenly it de-selects the window, and typing doesn't result in anything. Or I can be scrolling through a webpage and suddenl;y the arrow keys have no effect.
It is not the keyboard - you can see that a window is no longer the active window. It has happened 5 times while typing this.
Laptop has just come back from another repair under warranty, where BIOS was reloaded. Would have thought that would have solved any problem like this?

hi GeoffC,
It's most likely the sensitivity of the touchpad that's making you jump out of your current Window. It happened to me on a test laptop. After installing the touchpad drive and adjusted the palm check and touch sensitivity, the issue went away.
Can you check the following:
1. Go to Control Panel (large icon view) and click on Mouse. On the Mouse Properties, check if you have an ELAN or Device Settings Tab and adjust the settings accordingly

Can't see Windows PC on new iMac but Windows PC can see iMac

My brand new iMac is up and running except I can not see my Dell Laptop running Windows. The strange thing is that my Dell Laptop can see the iMac just fine and I can access shared folders without any problems. My call to Apple support didn't leave me with a resolution so I figured the forums could provide better help. I can ping my laptop but nothing shows up in my network or in "shared". The closest we came was to go to a browser window and type in smb://(computer name of laptop). This provided only a temporary solution because it un-mounts after restarts, etc and then I have to do it all over again.

Well, I have narrowed the issue down to Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Leopard install works just fine. I tried a different router going to a D-Link 655 from a Linksys and the result is the same. The Mac can not see my Windows computers under the network but my Windows PCs can see and access the Mac just fine. I can ping my Windows machines and I can create a temporary mount using the smb command but that is a band-aid to the problem. The odd issue is that I can see them temporarily if I delete my network connection and then re-establish it. I guess the Google searches are correct...Snow Leopard did break SMB support. Apple...can you please fix this. The world does not just run on Mac.

how to install windows server 2012 r2 without remove the current windows 8.1

Use guide below to convert it to 'basic' disk, or install windows on another drive. The supported way is to delete all partitions and convert it to a basic disk.

However, your windows 8.1 must be on another drive?, as windows cannot boot from a dynamic disk.

Can I upgrade to Windows 8 on my current Windows 7 partition that's using boot camp?

I have an iso image of the OS (enterprise) and I started the installation process and it asked me if I wanted to do an upgrade or an advanced custom install. Has anyone tried this yet?
One time I installed a windows update and it formatted my OS X partition as NTFS and I lost everything, so I'm trying to avoid that, but I'd really like to use Windows 8. Thanks!

I recommend you to wait until Apple launches Windows 8 drivers for Apple Boot Camp. Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8 at this moment, but the required drivers will be launched soon. When Apple launches the Windows 8 drivers, just insert the Windows disc in Windows 7 and upgrade your Windows. If you're going to do a clean install, make a backup before upgrading the Windows version

Windows 8.1 upgrade not possible because Win 8 isn't activated

A few months ago I bought a new Toshiba Satallite laptop with Windows 8 pre-installed
Now I want to upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. But I don't see the Windows 8.1 upgrade in de Windows store. I think this is because my current installed windows doesn't seems te be activated..
When I try to activate it, I get error: 0xC004F074.
I found a solution by using command: SLUI 3 and then enter the product key to activate it, but I don't have a product key!! There is no sticker with a product key on the laptop.
Could anyone help me with this issue, so I can activate my current Windows 8 install and upgrade to Windows 8.1?

Hi
I had some problems with an upgrade to Win 8.1 in the past...
Finally I managed to install the Windows 8.1 update after the notebook has been set back to factory settings.
Im not quite sure if this needs to be done in your case, but in case the Win 8.1 update would not be possible after installation of all windows updates, you should reset the PC back to factory settings. After that the upgrade should works.

Reinstalling Windows 7 to New Hard Drive with only the Win 7 Upgrade Disc?

So I have an e9180t which like clockwork freezes up after about an hour or two after booting up. I thought it might be the curse of the bad motherboards they came with, but I am hoping it is something else so testing everything I can. I noticed it does not freeze up when booted in safe mode with networking. The hard drive did fail the SMART test so I am wondering if it's time to replace it and if that has something to do with the crashing. I can move cursor, but no apps will open and eventually everything becomes unresponsive causing be tohit the power button to reboot. I already stopped all unnecessary start up programs and it still will freeze in non safe mode.
The PC came with Vista and I believe that's what is on the backup partition on the HD. I do have the Win 7 Upgrade disc from HP. My questons are-
1. If I buy a new HD will the 7 upgrade disc be enough to install full version of Win 7?
2. Anything else I need to do when I install new HD besides reactivate Windows?
Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Mike,
Did you create an HP recovery disc set for reinstalling the factory image when the HDD is replaced?
It sound like you may have a problem creating the recovery discs now.
A Smart HDD test failure points to a failing HDD. The symptoms you are experiencing are most likely caused by this fact. You may also have a motherboard or other hardware problem.
You have the Win 7 Upgrade disc and product key.
I am fairly sure the Win 7 upgrade has to be initiated from within Win Vista. The Win 7 upgrade is a full install of Windows so that is not the problem. But it may not run setup unless you start the upgrade in Win Vista. Normally a Win 7 upgrade is started within the current operating system, Win 7 setup validates the existence of a qualifying operating system, and then prompts a reboot to finish the upgrade installation.
You can replace the HDD and try to install Win 7 cleanly. If that fails and you don't have the Vista recovery discs you can purchase an HP recovery disc set here. There are three different builds available. Select the one that matches the factory installed operating system.
You may have one other issue upon replacing the HDD with a newer Advanced Format HDD. Please see this HP Support document for more information.
If you cannot install the Win 7 upgrade cleanly or Win Vista because of the Advanced Format HDD issue, you may have to purchase an OEM copy of Win 7.

Mac's and PCs can no longer connect after 10.4.10 Upgrade SMB Crash - Help

This is my second post on this topic. I have read other similar threads, but none of the advice I have tried has worked so far. We have 4 PCs and 5 Macs at home that were networking nicely until we upgraded the G5 10.4.10. The G5 can browse and connect to any machine on the network. However, no other machine can connect to a shared folder on the G5.
I installed a clean 10.4.10 on a second hard drive and it works fine. So that eliminates hardware and infrastructure. I really did not want to have to reinstall everything from scratch.
I performed an Archive and Install and that did not work.
1) On my G5 I turn on Personal or Windows File Sharing
2) From another computer PC or Mac I attempt to connect to the shared files
3) The connection is made most of the time and I can see the folders. However within a few minutes or the second time I attempt to browse the folders, I get an error.
4) When I return to the G5, the Service is unchecked
The console log is reporting...

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up or crash with the older version. Is this problem being looked into and or being corrected. I use Firefox with Google and my system is XP Pro 32 bit. THIS IS REALLY making me MAD. My email is [email protected] and would appreciate a response to this ASAP. I have tried a couple of items from your help section and nothing works.

If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

How to Downgrade Windows 8.1 to Win 7 enterprise using Win 7 upgrade media installed on the DVD ???

Hello Team,
I have installed the windows 8.1x32 SL ENG OEM licensed version on my business computer.
Now I want to downgrade it to WINDOWS 7 using a windows 7 upgrade DVD. Also I have the volume licensing key with me of Windows 7 enterprise edition. Right now , I am willing to install it on ONLY ONE computer.
So, all I need is your help in the installation process .......install now & next steps of installation.

Actually that's where you are wrong, according to Microshaft's website, Windows 8.1 PRO installations have "downgrade rights" BUT ONLY to Win 7 PRO or Win Vista Business (BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's a joke)
http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/downgrade_rights.aspx#fbid=-wiBOot8mXl
Sadly this leaves Enterprise/Business editions out of the question...This has been extremely bothersome considering BitLocker is only included in Win 7 Business and higher (Being part of a HIPPA compliant Mental Health Agency this is EXTREMELY important
to our functioning, especially now that TrueCrypt has ended their support and no longer even offers a download that will let you encrypt the system drive! Leaving us fumbling around trying to find a new solution)
Actually as I wrote this, I uncovered this amazing little PDF from Microsoft explaining with exact details
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/8/9/68964284-864d-4a6d-aed9-f2c1f8f23e14/Downgrade_Rights.pdf
You must upgrade your Windows 8.1 Pro to Enterprise Edition (I've been told the upgrade is only 40$ (USD)) then you may Downgrade to Win 7 Enterprise...Still a little bit obnoxious just to downgrade but if you aren't working for a company with 100s of PCs
(Like me) I guess it's not so bad.

Currently Windows 7 PCs can upgraded to Win 8.1 or Win 10 without re-installing Applications?
