Welcome to the forum!
I'd suggest a clean install of W7, not an upgrade of any kind.
Save your personal files/data, wipe the drive clean and install the new OS.
Good luck.
Cheers,

  • How to upgrade WEBADI from 12.1.2 to 12.1.3

    I have a issue, the system is on 12.1.2, and i want to define layout for FA-MASSADDITION DETAILED like on 12.1.3, can see the attribute1-30.
    How can i do or apply any patch?

    Your question is not clear. The subject of the threads is "How to upgrade WEBADI from 12.1.2 to 12.1.3" and you want to create a layout in 12.1.2
    Do you mean to say that this layout works properly in 12.1.3 and you want the same layout to work in 12.1.2? If yes, please see if these docs help.

  • How to Upgrade datasources from 3x to 7x versions

    Hi Experts
      How to Upgrade datasources from 3x to 7x versions.
      I am planning to upgrade exisisting 3x data sources which are used in data loading are there any risks involved in upgrade
    Thanks

    Hi,
    When you migrate a 3.x DataSource (R3TR ISFS) in an original system, the system generates a DataSource (R3TR RSDS) with a transport connection. The 3.x DataSource is deleted, along with the 3.x metadata object mapping (R3TR ISMP) and transfer structure (R3TR ISTS), which are dependent on it. If a PSA and InfoPackages (R3TR ISIP) already exist for the 3.x DataSource, they are transferred to the migrated DataSource, along with the requests that have already been loaded. After migration, only the specifications about how data is loaded into the PSA are used in the InfoPackage.
    You can export the 3.x objects, 3.x DataSource, mapping and transfer structure during the migration so that these objects can be restored. The collected and serialized objects are stored in a local table (RSDSEXPORT).
    You can now transport the migration into the target system.
    When you import the transport into the target system in the after-import, the system migrates the 3.x DataSource (R3TR ISFS) (as long as it is available in the target system) to a local DataSource (R3TR RSDS), without exporting the objects that are to be deleted. The 3.x DataSource, mapping (R3TR ISMP) and transfer structure (R3TR ISTS) objects are deleted and the related InfoPackages are migrated. The data in the DataSource (R3TR RSDS) is transferred to the PSA.

  • How to upgrade eSourcing from version 5.1.8 Patch 3 to 5.1.8 Patch 4

    Please some one can guide me How to upgrade eSourcing from version 5.1.8 Patch 3 to 5.1.8 Patch 4 since i am new in CLM.

    Hello Gadewar,
    First of all make sure you read all the details given in the Upgrade Guide located at "Installation and Upgrade Guide"->SAP SRM->SAP E-Sourcing 5.1/SAP CLM 2.0->E-Sourcing 5.1/CLM 2.0 Component Upgrade Guide PDF at service.sap.com/support website.
    Note you need to have the support account to login to that website.
    How ever I am listing down basic steps required for upgrade below.
    1) Download the installables from the website I did mention above, have DB jar, have custom jar (optional).
    2) Take backup of the DB.
    3) Take backup of Config folder. Also take backup of the <home Dir>/Lib if you have some customizations in the form of JARS.
    3) Make sure the userid which is used for connection to DB have the required permission like CONNECT, RESOURCE, UNLIMITED TABLESPACE etc. It is given in the guide I mentioned above in section 4.1 Verify Privileges of Oracle Service Account.
    4) Stop ESO instance and run the setup and then upgrade scripts.
    5) Undeploy the old ESO application from App server and then deploy new .EAR from new <home dir>/fsapp on the app server.
    6) Start the app server and your ESO will be ready. You may need to use Workbooks to upload Localized Resources. This is the case if you have modified some OOTB localized resources in the past as a part of customization and have not used the overrides to give new resource values. If you have used overrides for localized resources in the past then you are good and need not to load the workbook.
    Again usage of Workbook depends on the requirement to requirement. You may need to use workbook based upon your business needs.
    Make sure you have not modified any OOTB query definitions as a part of customizations, if that is the case you will loose those query definitions as upgrade scripts overrides OOTB queries and then you should backup those as well before upgrade and then you may re-pull them after upgrade.

  • Upgrade T61 6457-CTO to Windows 7 (64 bit)?

    HI,
    I have a T61  6457-CTO running windows XP pro.  After 2 years of multiple versions of office & Adobe Creative Suite as well as other software, it is now very sluggish.  Since I am getting new office & Adobe software I thought I might I upgrade to Windows 7 (64 bit).  I only have 2 GB of RAM, but I can upgrade that to 4 Gb.
    I have a few questions:
     - Can I run the 64 bit version?  I ran the Windows upgrade advisor & the hardware was fine - it was the lenovo software that would have potential problems.  I assume that lenovo support has all the drivers that I would need?
    -  What is involved in installing the new OS?
    - How does the computer know to switch from the 32 bit to 64 bit?
    - will I lose the lenovo partition & all the lenovo software?  Do I care?
    - Has anyone had problems with this switch?
    Is windows 7 much faster on this machine? especially with the web & graphic software I am using?
    My other option is to restore my computer to factory settings & load the new software.
    Any suggestions?   I appreciate any advice or comments on how this upgrade might have gone for you.

    Hello,
    There is no automatic migration path from Microsoft Windows XP to Microsoft Windows 7, nor is there a migration path between 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions of Windows, although it may be possible to do this with third party tools.  This means a clean installation, followed by reloading the applications and data.
    I run 64-bit versions of Windows 7 on a ThinkPad T61 (Type: 7664-1LU) and a T61p (Type: 6459-CTO), so given my experiences, along with your own report from the Windows Upgrade Advisor it sounds like you have a 64-bit system.  You can also verify this by running a program such as Intel's Processor Identification Utility, which will tell you if your CPU supports EMT64, which is Intel's name for a 64-bit architecture.
    Once you have finished installing Windows 7, you can install Lenovo's ThinkVantage System Update software, which will download and install all remaining ThinkVantage drivers and software for your T61. 
    I've always done clean installs of Windows 7 to a new hard disk drive on my ThinkPads, so I am unsure of what happens to the Lenovo service and recovery partition.  More information about upgrading to Windows 7 on ThinkPads can be found here on Lenovo's support web site, so maybe the answer can be found there.

  • How to upgrade tracks from NetWeaver 7.0 to 7.3?

    Hello!
    I'm trying to create a Web dynpro 7.3 track from a 7.0 track. It's for a sandbox install of 7.3 so I don't want to change the current track or SC but I want to include all my developed code for testing purposes.
    I've read about track migration here:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8061e964-2036-2e10-ee9d-ef21d174fdd9?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    and here:
    Migrating/Upgrading NWDI from 7.0 to CE 7.1
    but it's missing some important information. How do I get my current code into the new track? It just says "Import your SCs and required SCs in the new track in NetWeaver 7.3".
    My old track is called Extern and contains a SC called ExternSC. The new track is called Portal73 but which SC should it contain?
    I can't check in my old SC without adding a dependecy to it.
    Should I create a new Extern73SC with dependency to the old one? Then it wants to check in the old 7.0 dependencies as well.
    I want to be able to create projects from the old DCs so they can be migrated to 7.3 as well.
    The forum thread above suggest changing the dependencies of the current SC to 7.3 components  and add that to the new track, but that would break my current 7.0 track, right? I tried to make a new version of the SC with the same name but I still couldn't import the existing code.
    Is there a more complete source for track migration?
    Please help me if you can

    Thank you for your answer!
    Just to make sure I do this correctly.
    I have a product called ExternProd (1.0), and an existing SC called ExternSC (1.0) that belongs to the product.
    Do I need to create a new product version as well?
    Otherwise I do this:
    In Software catalog in SLD on the NWDI i click "new software component version"
    In the dialog box I select ExternProd 1.0, unit Extern 1.0, enter vendor, name ExternSC and version 2.0 and click create.
    I define dependencies to SAP SCs but NOT to ExternSC 1.0.
    Now if i go to the product I see two software units for ExternProd 1.0.
    I add ExternSC 2.0 to my track and then I should be able to forward the old SC and import it in development, or should it be exported and checked in?
    Is this what you meant?

  • How to play music from iPod through Windows Media Player

    I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence .... but just in case anyone hasn't yet figured it out, here's how to play music from your iPod on a computer that does not have iTunes installed:
    On your computer, connect the iPod to iTunes and click on it's name. Then under the general tab, check "allow disk use". Your iPod will then act as a USB hard drive and will then show up as a drive in My Computer. Now all you need to do is to create a Music folder on it and then copy all your music to it!
    Your iPod's USB hard drive should show up under My Computer on most Windows computers. Therefore providing the computer has Windows Media Player installed, you will be able to play all your music on it! This saves you having to bother with portable/travel speakers, some of which sound terrible anyway!

  • How to upgrade system from serial communication to parallel communication

    Hi,
    I am working on Lab VIEW 8.5.In my project I am using ADAM cards(7) for analog/digital inputs/outputs. Communication is done via RS 232 serial cable. Right now my system is working fine, but if i want to make it more fast i will need to use parallel communication right? Because Simultaneous inputs and outputs are processed. How much my communication file will change? Which card i should use?
    How to upgrade system? On which factors it depends or it affects? I need guide lines.
    Thank you

    Do not forget to Mark solution and to give Kudo if problem is solved.

    Hi
    In your setup you have a ADAM 4250 RS232/485 repeater talking with 7 instruments in a network. Each instrument have a unique address, and you can only address 1 instrument at a time. If you need more speed you have to insert more ADAM 4250 units in your system and more RS232 ports on the PC. Identical ADAM instruments may receive commands over the same communication line, but transmit data on a unique communication line. You can not use the parallel port in your setup at all. This is not a Labview problem but a hardware problem. If speed is critical maybe the Ethernet I/O Modules: ADAM-6000 series are better for your setup 
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
    (Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

    I wanna back up my iphoto to windows hard drive.
    thanks.

    I share the Mac iPhotos folder \\COUNTERPWN\Pictures\iPhoto Library.photolibrary\Masters and create a shortcut on my windows desktop. If you want you can use Microsoft Synctoy and run it whenever you want to back them up. Kind of reverse order, instead of going from Mac to Windows to backup, go from Windows to Mac and back again. lol hope that made sense.
    Just make sure you have File Sharing selected and Windows Sharing on in prefrence for you iPhoto folder.
