How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

I have purchased Upgrade pack from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have also Updated the OS to windows 8.1 through Store. How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

The download link for the Windows 8.1 installer at the Upgrade with Product Key Only does not accept a Windows 8.0 product key. I ended up using the trick suggested by Andre Ziegler in this thread to obtain the 8.1 download independent of the Windows
Store, but I haven't yet checked if the 8.0 key works from 8.1 Setup.
I do IT for a living but I have plenty of family members that bring their notebook PCs to me and ask me to do the heavy lifting, and I'd rather not re-download the same 3.6 GB every single time someone tells me to fix their PC. I also want to be able to
re-install 8.1 from the source media in case of a catastrophic hard disk failure and I have to replace the disk.
As an aside, tools that retrieve product keys for installed products end up retrieving the 8.0 product key from an 8.1 install that was upgraded via the Store. It kind-of makes sense that an 8.0 key could work to install 8.1 because 8.1 is supposed
to be a free upgrade for licensed 8.0 users, but this doesn't seem to work until after 8.1 is successfully installed via some trickery and the user supplies the 8.0 key to activate it.

How do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

how do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

I am assuming you have the key number, but not the actual software. Like you I have the key number (my key number good for 3 Macs), but didn't want to dig out the disc to install on another Mac. Going to Office's site I couldn't find any links to download Office, so I had to get the disc to load the program. Once that's done the Office installer will ask for your key number.

How to install 9ifs into 9idb with 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2a in window 2000?

Anyone know how to install 9ifs into 9idb with 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2a?

Hi,
9iFS must be installed in an 9i home type. So you must have it installed in a single box in your 9i DB home. You must use the Apache server of the DB, because the installer will modify the configuration files of this Apache, not this of 9iAS.
After just modify the port the 9i apache is listening (use 81 instead of 80 for example).
Be careful that if you install a new apache for the 9i database, your vw_gateway_cfg environment variable will be changed and will point to the 9i home instead of the 9ias home. So you have to change it back to your 9iAS home if you want to use the portal !!!!

How to install adobe pagemaker 7 in windows 7

how to install adobe pagemaker 7 in windows 7

Pagemaker 7 has compatibility issues with Windows 7. You can try, but I expect the installer will not work properly.
Either move on to InDesign or keep PM7 on your WinXP setup.
You can also try run the application in Xp compatible mode.

How to install an old PPD on Windows 7 ?

OK - this will be tricky.
We are a small offset print shop and use ID CS4 to both design and do our colour seperations with. We use an old(ish) Panther Imagesetter which serves us well.
We have just purchased a new PC, and as XP pro is hard to get these days, and with Windows 7 clearly the way of the future - we have taken the leap ... especially as we have updated all our design software to CS4 I thought we wouldn't have any issues.
However .... Windows 7 will not install the old Panther PPD's - basically tells me that they're not compatible with a 64bit OS.
Any ideas ? We're a bit stuffed if I can't get this working

It's always amazing to me how discussions of PostScript bog down with Windows users.
It's either Windows users never use PostScript or some other reason I can't understand.
What is needed is a simple way to place a PPD file on Windows 7 so the user can select the option of writing a PostScript file to disk and referencing that particular PPD. We don't need or want a printer driver in this case because we are not actually printing to any particular device.
Why someone needs to do that comes under the category of "If you have to ask then you really don't understand the issue so you're probably not ready to receive the explanation."
But I'll try to explain it. We in printing have been writing PostScript files to disk since it was possible to do so.
Why do we do it? Because we don't "PRINT" to a printer. We create a file and then "SUBMIT" it to a "RIP" that lets us preview the file or or we pre-process it with additional software that might do something like imposition or color separating or whatever.
Many times we need to write a PostScript file to disk and distill it as opposed to exporting a PDF directly because either the application has no PDF export or we need controlls for the file creation that are not in the export dialogs.
Sometimes it's a more complex issue of flattening transparency when the export function is supposed to do it but doesn't work correctly. I know that comes as a shock that an aspect of expensive software might not work correctly and we have to use a work-around but trust me, it happens.
Not meaning to start a Mac/Windows holy war but this is so easy to do on a Mac. You just place the PPD in a directory and it's becomes available to the application with no need to install a printer driver.
Now it appears that someone is finally suggesting it might be as simple as:
1. Drag your PPD to the following path: c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3
I'll try this an pray that it really is this simple.
And it is.
So, we don't need to install the Adobe PostScript (or any other) printer drive to make a PPD available to Indesign for the purpose of writing a PostScript file to disk.
Life is good again.

Kindly provide me how to install odi in my pc windows 7 64bit

Hi all,
Plz kindly provide me how to install odi in my lap windows 7 64bit and do we have option to install odi in windows7?
In windows 7 i already installed oracle 10g database and downloading ODI 11.1.1.5.0 version from oracle site.
Its a urgent process to me and thanks in advance and guide me .

Hi,
for Windows x64 be aware of these pitfalls:
- you need the "generic" Java version of ODI, not the Windows one (which target x86)
- you need a 64 bit Java Virtual Machine to run the setup
- you need a 32 bit Java Virtual Machine to run the application (ODI Studio) after installation complete
I used JRockit (Java Virtual Machine), and with default settings the JRockit installer overwrite previous installations, even for different processor architecture (ie 32 bit installation overwrite 64 bit).
So to me the following worked:
- Install JRockit 64 bit
- Run ODI installation
- Install JRockit 32 bit
- Run ODI Studio.
Hope it helps,
Corrado

Hi.......
Welcome to SAP Business One Forum.....
Unfortunately this is the wrong forum you posted here.
I would suggest you post it in SDK or System Administration Forum and definitely you get the solution and close this thread from here......

how to install internet explorer 8 in windows 8 pc.

Hi,
Internet Explorer 8 is not compatible to install in Windows 8/8.1 PC.
As Rob suggested, we could use Internet Explorer 10 (In Windows 8) or Internet Explorer 11 (In Windows 8.1) developer tools to emulate IE8,
Using the F12 developer tools; Or build a Virtual Machine.
Besides, here is the download page:

How to install ios back i have windows 7?

how to install ios back i have windows 7

I don't understand your question. You mention iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad OS) but you say you have Windows 7, and not which of the devices you want to upgrade to iOS 7. Your question about installing iOS 7 is probably best asked on one fo the forums for your iOS device, like the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch forums.
