Downgrade windows 8 enterprise to windows 7 enterprise under volume license and steps for installing windows 7 enterprise.

How to downgrade from windows 8 enterprise to windows 7 enterprise under volume license? and what are the steps for installing windows 7 enterprise?

The link provided by v-yamliu works good.
Steps for installing Windows 7 Enterprise can differ based on the method of installation.
Windows 7 Enterprise, being an enterprise product, is usually installed on PCs count of 20 and above. Also, organisations usually modify the standard installation image to suit the organisation's needs and policies. In doing so, they define the way the Enterprise
edition can be installed. They can be ZTI (Zero Touch Installation) or LTI (Lite Touch Installation). The following links will be helpful in this case:

If the above case is not true and only a standard image is being used, you can perform clean install as mentioned by v-yamliu. The following link will be helpful:

I was sold acrobat through volume licensing and need help installing on my new surface.

Need help with accessing volume license purchase so I can download the software to my new computer. I can't see it under my purchase history.

I think you should be able to just download & install it, then activate it with your serial number.

Boot Camp error: The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

Hi!
I am getting the error:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
I read up some on google, but all of them says that they have crated a partition and that is the problem, I only have the standard "Macintosh HD".
I tried to create a partition manually in disk utility but then the error message: "Partition failed with error message: Could not unmount disk."
Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks.

This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

That's essentially what Solving Boot Camp partition creation problems says. What is your question?

What's with the 32GB partition limit for installing Windows?

I have a 250 GB partition on a hard drive that I want to dedicate to Windows, but I've been reading the Bootcamp manual and it's confusing where it says that you can only create a 5 to 32 GB partition for installing Windows.
Is that the case, or can the partition for Windows be whatever size you want?
How does one go about being able to set up a larger NTFS volume?
I need more room than 32GB to install Windows and the software that I plan to add to it, plus, you need some free drive space so Windows has some room to work well.

This is a too long tale for the forum but you can read all about it on the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT32#FAT32
In short, you can not create a BOOTABLE FAT32 partition larger as 32 Gb in Windows XP.
Vista does not even support any bootable FAT32 partition anymore, it has to be NTFS.
FAT32 was good but NTFS is really much better. Go for NTFS and use free tools to read the data from HFSA (Mac OS X file format) if you need to.
BTW formatting your drive in XP over 32 Gb will lead to very cryptic error messages during the install. Its a very bad idea. Force reformat the Boot Camp partition as 32 Gb FAT32 or force reformat into NTFS.

There is no need for anyone to use 32-bit version anymore.
Retail comes with both. Or you can save on just buying 64-bit System Builder disc.
Better support for today's hardware with larger video graphic memory and systems.
Better memory management.

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

Windows 8.1 With Bing or Windows 8.1 Core To Pro Volume License?

If we buy laptops with Windows 8.1 With Bing or 8.1 Core, what is the path to get Windows 8.1 Pro volume licensing so we can join them to domains and create a common MDT deployment image?
Do we buy a Pro Pack license for each system and then use the Pro Pack upgrade to 8.1 Pro upgrade license for eligibility to purchase 8.1 Professional volume licensing or is there an easier path?

I'm going to try to restate the main parts of the question more clearly.
We are buying some laptops where the vendor does not offer a configuration choice of Windows 8.1 Pro. Normally, we order laptops with Windows Professional preinstalled, but, for these specific models, since they are consumer-oriented laptops, you cannot
purchase this model with 8.1 Pro licensing from the vendor. We will have to purchase them with 8.1 With Bing preloaded from the factory.
We will be using our own custom image of 8.1 Pro when we deploy the laptops to users.
Since Windows 8.1 With Bing and Windows 8.1 Core in general is not an eligible OS for purchasing volume licensed 8.1 Pro, we need to, somehow, get these systems licensed for 8.1 Pro before we can buy 8.1 Pro VL.
How can we do this? Do we buy 8.1 Pro Packs ($99 each)? Do we have to buy the full retail edition of 8.1 Pro for each laptop ($199 each) and use these for VL upgrade eligibility? Can we purchase the 8.1 With Bing to 8.1 Pro upgrade directly
through the Volume Licensing Program?
What is the best we to do this for cost per machine and for convenience implementing?

Windows 8 pro is volume licensed and i cannot update to window 8.1

A month back, i bought a laptop from lenevo which has a window 8 pro (volume licensed) version. Now i am not able to update to windows 8.1 through the windows store. I use this laptop for my home use and i dont know how to update the OS now. Pls suggest
on what can be done.I cannot go back to Lenevo store because i have moved out of that state(area).

Hi,
Windows 8 Pro, if installed by an organization or a program that uses Volume Licensing, talk to your system admin, or the administrator of the program that was used to install Windows 8:

Windows 8.1 Volume license and FPP

Hi Team,
A couple of questions:
Question 1. If you buy a WinPro 8.1 SNGL OLP NL Legalization GetGenuine (Microsoft part number: FQC-08147); can you transfer the license from one PC to another if the current PC where the license is installed crashes and becomes unusable?
Question 2. If you install WinPro 8.1 SNGL OLP NL Legalization GetGenuine (Microsoft part number: FQC-08147) and somehow the PC crashes; would you be able to re-install the same license on the same PC after the PC is repaired and restored?

Hi Mukesh Beri ,
As far as I am concerned ,one license is used for one machine .
Considering this is a volume license issue ,it is recommended to contact our volume license support directly. We will get more detailed information there.

NAS server with mp3s and Itunes for Mac & Windows. How to keep all running?

a)I have mp3s on the server (a NAS Hard Drive) when I run I-tunes even after selecting a a folder in the network hard drive tries to move the music on my local macbook under the i-tunes music folder location, this happens usually when I get I-tunes updates and re-installation. Is any way to stop I-Tunes to move files? I have no space in my Mac for all the mp3s.
b) what is the best way to share the music files between two computers with I-Tunes, one being a Mac and the other a Windows? This, without screwing the files.
c) I-Tunes generated a lot of duplicates. My guess is the same song may apply to different albums. Any way to correct this problem, so no more duplicates?
Thank You
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

If you want cross-paltform comaptibility limit the fonts to OpenType or Windows TrueType formats, both of which work on both Mac and PC. To avoid missing font warnings the fonts must either be installed on each computer, or they must be in a folder named Document Fonts in the same location as the .indd file they are to work with. Packaging the file will build taht folder for you.
the rest of the stuff in your list won't help you. .idml would allow you to open on an older version, but does nothing for your situation. Embedding the links will keep you from having missing links, but so will packaging, and embedded links will make the file much larger and harder to work with.
For goodness sake, don't even think about outlining the text. It stops being text when you do that and you can no longer edit it.
And finally. do yourself a big favor and don't attempt to actually work on your file directly from the flash drive. Copy the whole package folder to the hard drive, work on it, then copy back. You don't want to know how many files are fatally damaged by write errors on flash drives.
