I asked before about getting a set of recovery disks and how much for my HP Pavilion a6863w!

Hi, I asked before about getting a set of recovery disks for my HP Pavilion a6863w. It was answered and a link was provided on where to get the recovery disks. However, I was wondering if there was an upgrade set of those recovery disks that had windows 7 or even windows 8 for that matter. I don't know if thats possible but I would rather have windows 7 atlkeast since hp is outdated and my HP has Vista but Vista is the next on the chopping block to be un-supported and eventually discontinued. Any and all help and suggestions are welcome. Thanks
This question was solved.

Hi,
Sorry, you cannot obtain an HP Win 7 Recovery disc set for your PC because it shipped with Vista as the factory installed operating system.
Win Vista is in extended support until April, 2017. Win 7 is covered until January, 2020.
You would have to purchase a Win 7 OEM setup disc from an online vendor.

  • Where can i get a windows 7 installation disc, and how much would it cost.

    I need to know where i can get this installation disc, could somebody send me a link to like amazon where i could buy the disc. Please help me out.

    If you have some Windows experience, you could get the Windows 8 Customer Preview which will last until next January. It is free. Possibly Windows 7 will cost less after 8 is available
    at cost (like an old iPad?).
    There is also a User guide here
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/consumer-preview
    The consumer preview download here is only if you already have Windows but you can get ISO below. 
    Write down the product key which is needed at install time and select language, 32 or 64 Bit.

    In Mac, you need to run Boot Camp to create Windows space before install from ISO at boot.

  • I have insurance through apple for my iPhone 4. Last night my phone was stolen. Am I covered under insurance to get a new phone? And how much will it cost? Second- what should I do about it? I don't know if I should shut down the phone or what?

    No, you simply do not.  Apple does not sell insurance.
    Apple offers an Extended Warranty called AppleCare.
    Warranties doe not cover lost or stolen devices.  Buy a new one.

    I removed Creative Cloud but I still get pop-ups asking me to log in....why and how do I get rid of it?

    Looks like you didn't uninstall; you just logged out.  Go to the Windows Control Panel, Programs and Features (in Win7; may be different in your version of Windows).  right click on each Adobe CC app you want to uninstall and select "uninstall".  Then uninstall CC itself.

  • I'm trying to re-install mountain lion 19.8.2 from a recovery disk and get an error when it's trying to verify my computer with Apple, any idea what's wrong?

    I'm trying to reinstall mountain lion 10.8.2 from a recovery disk and I get the following error when I goes to verify my computer with apple,
    An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again. Can anyone help?

    Well, I'm trying to figure out how you're doing this from a recovery disk. The only way to reinstall Mountain Lion is through the Recovery HD in the computer. Hold Cmd/R as you are starting up the computer and keep holding it. Eventually you'll get a screen asking you to select the language. Hit continue to select english and you'll get a Mac OS X Utilities Menu with the second option down being reinstall OS X.

    I'm not so sure if it's possible that Apple ships internationally. Why not just look into getting one in your country that you live in?

    Out-of-Warranty Service: If your iPod requires service for any other hardware failure that is determined by Apple to be repairable, Apple will service your iPod for the Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fee.
    If you want to set up your iPod for the Out-of-warranty service, we recommend that you take your iPod to a local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.
    Click here for pricing.
    If Apple determines that an iPod is not repairable, for example, if it has failed due catastrophic damage or the iPod has been disassembled into multiple pieces, then Out-of-Warranty Service is not available and the iPod will be returned. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

  • I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?

    I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?

    To replace your phone's screen costs $109US and I don't see why having Apple replace the screen would void your warranty.

  • I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20,2012, and it fell out of my pocket and cracked the screen. I would like to know how much it costs to get it repaired and how much insurance costs. Thank you for your time.

    I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20, 2012, and it fell out of my pocket when I jumped. Unfortunantly, the screen cracked very badly, and it has become a hazard, not only for the many cuts I have gotton on my fingers from the ipod screen's broken glass, but for what I type (because the screen is cracked so badly, I cannot see what I am doing). The ipod has become pointless to own in its condition. I would like to know how much the repair would be, where the best place to get it done is located, and how much future insurance would cost in the United States. Thank you for you time.

    See "Repair Pricing."
    No clue where you can purchase insurance but it's probably not worth the price.
