Is it possible to integrate an existing, up to date, XP Pro OS on my computer into a new install of Win 7?

I read that Win 7 security support will last until 2020.
I am considering moving from Win XP Pro to Win 7 Pro with XP mode instead of Win 8.1, because the Win 7 upgrade adviser indicates no problems, whereas when I run
the Win 8 upgrade adviser there are a lot of incompatibilities. 
Is there a way to take advantage of already having XP Pro installed and run it under Win 7 XP mode? Everything Win XP is there on the C: drive already,
so it seems a shame to have to install it again and apply all the updates. There is a lot of customization of Win XP that I want to retain, and it would be a major chore to redo it all.... if I could remember what I did. Am I misunderstanding the
process of getting from XP to Win 7 XP mode?
Is there any migration software that can integrate an existing Win XP OS with Win 7 XP mode for me?
I would be perfectly happy to keep running XP Pro past the security support termination date if it was safe to do so. I run ESET Smart Security, updated daily. Do you think ESET would provide the on going protection that Microsoft will no longer
provide for Win XP?

Hi,
We will need to move our files off of our PC before we install Windows 7. To make this easier, we recommend  a free download called Windows Easy Transfer, which will require an external hard disk.
Then install the Windows 7 like the below tutorial:
Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-xp-to-windows-7#T1=tab01
After we've installed Windows 7, we could run Windows Easy Transfer again and move our files and settings back to our computer.
After that, we could install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7. Windows XP Mode works in two ways—both as a virtual operating system and as a way to open programs within Windows 7. It runs in a separate window on the Windows 7 desktop,
much like a program, except it's a fully-functional, fully-licensed version of Windows XP. In Windows XP Mode, we can access the physical computer's CD/DVD drive, install programs, save files, and perform other tasks as if we were
using a computer running Windows XP. 
For detailed information, please refer to this article:
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

  • How to sync existing AppleTV media data onto newly installed TimeCapsule ?

    My configuration is:
    MacBook [model=4,1 / MacOSX v10.5.8]
    AppleTV [model=A1218]
    TimeCapsule [model=A1409]
    The TimeCapsule is used for Macbook TimeMachine backups AND it also houses my current iTunes Library [where my iTunes Media directories reside] .
    The AppleTV media content is synced with the TimeCapsule -- the "Computers" setting in the AppleTV designates the TC iTL as its link/locked computer .
    Then the amber light went on [and stayed on] for the TimeCapsule and the Airport Utility application reported the TC hard disk was damaged .
    I bought and installed a new TimeCapsule ; Time Machine backups are now reinstated on the new TC .
    How can I reinstate the iTunes Library onto the new TC ?  How can I synchronize the existing AppleTV media data [which includes over 20000 songs] down to the new TC ?  I can use MacBook iTunes app to create a new empty iTunes Library on the new TC but if I modify the AppleTV setting for "Computers" to "unlink" the old TC then won't I lose everything on the AppleTV ?
    HELP !!!
    Also, how can I be certain that the backup of my MacBook that has now been created on the new TC via Time Machine is a FULL backup of the MacBook's harddrive and not a partial backup ??

    Where is your computer's backup of all important data that should include your iTunes library and should have been created or updated immediately before installing a new OS? Did you lose all important data when doing do or just your iTunes content? The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.

  • Is it possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external system without SAP PI?

    Hi,
    as asked in the title, i am wondering if it is possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external (non-SAP) system without using SAP PI/XI. The external system is a middleware application which can handle RFC functions, IDocs besides the usual web service communications.
    However, i don't know how LSO and SAP PI are integrated so i wonder if their interfaces are such that instead of SAP PI another middleware could be used.

    Web Services are used. If you were to implement the services in your 3rd party middleware and configure SAP to call it, I suppose it is possible. The external course catalog can be used for CourseEnrollment and LearningProgress. See the application help for details. Don't expect to receive support from SAP with such a setup however.

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • Is it possible to Integrate dos with Java to create a sample compiler?

    Is it possible to Integrate dos with Java to create a sample compiler, or do I have to write the compiler from scratch? In theory, I would like to have users enter sample code in a java text field, hit a java button that would compile/run the code, by calling a dos command prompt that would run it, and display any error messages back to the java text field. Does anyone know if this is possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Tflav23

    There is a Compiler class you might be able to use also:
    C:\jdk1.3.1_01\docs\api\java\lang\Compiler.html
    So perhaps there is no need to create a process to compile code. But I don't know if you can get information about compiler errors.

    Hi s k,
    You can do the query copy in the DEV (development system) & transport the request to the PRD (production system).
    This is the SAP recommended best practise.
    However, you can also directly do the query copy in PRD system, provided you (sap login) have the authorizations to do the same.
    For more information on SAP query, check the following link:

  • Action not possible because change version exist

    Dear All,
    We are at SRM5.0- Extended Classic scenario and facing issues for changing some of the PO documents.
    When the buyers are trying to change the PO, error is getting populated as 'Action not possible because change version exist'. This error is not allowing us to change the PO.
    These POs are changed in the past and all the relevant changes are reflected to backend system with no issues. In other words Change Versions do exists for these POs. Flags for Change Version completion is also set and all historical versions can be seen but without change history.
    Additional information -
    1. No approval workflows are implemented for PO.
    2. No locks are active for these documents.
    Appreciate your help!
    Regards,
    Sagar

    Hi Sagar and thanks for your response,
    well, actually the active change version won't be preserved in any case. It would be overwritten in the first scenario, and deleted in the second one. The reason why I'd like to have this "brute force" method is to face an eventual human error. Suppose that a disalignment between R3 and SRM has been created; my report basically "alligns" the SRM version to the corresponding R3 one. And suppose also that the user made a mistake so that the program must be used a second time. I'd like to provide a way to "UNDO" the first execution of the program, that is to say: i'd like to provide a way to OVERWRITE the actual active, change version, or alternatively delete the change version that the report did create the first time it has been launched.
    Hope it's a bit clearer now
    Thanks for any hint/suggestion you can give me
    EDIT: Oh, and please... can you provide me further information about your solution? I mean, use of that FM to unlock an active version of the PO and then the proper call to BBP_PD_PO_UPDATE specifying how you managed input params. Thanks a lot

  • Is it possible to use an existing imac (2009) as a monitor for a new mini

    Does anyone know if it's possible to use an existing imac as a monitor for a new mac mini?

    Unless it's a late 2009 27-inch iMac, all of the ways of doing it require an existing network connection, which requires a standalone monitor.

  • Is it possible to integrate AUR into Apper?

    Hello!
    At the moment I use pacman and AUR as they suppose to be used (at least thats what I try!) to update and manage my software. Now out of curiosity I installed Apper as GUI for software management. There's two things I don't understand:
    - Is it possible to integrate AUR into the Apper software sources? Is there a plugin or something?
    - I see there's many different software management backends for RPM or tools like Portage ... can these be used in conjunction with the arch default APT? I understand that almost everything can be found within the AUR and that this is the better way but as I can't integrate it into Apper (see my question above) I wonder whether using other sources and formats could be an alternative ...
    thx for reading,
    piedro

    Arch uses pacman, not APT :-)
    Some AUR helpers can mange packages from the official repos too https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Helpers , so you can use a single frontend, but I don't know if apper can do that.

  • Is it possible to integrate a from into salesforce?

    Is it possible to integrate a from into salesforce? Does adobe or maybe this is a question for salesforce, but can the information I ask for in a created form be sent to salesforce and created into a report:?

    Hi Josh has API integration been setup with adobe form central yet?
    I want to automatically have them added to our campaign in GetResponse  which allows API and seems to have just about every other form creater link available?
    I dont want to have to export files and then re import them as this is just for daily enquiries on our website.
    I also found it strange that the responses in form central have no way of directly linking to a campaign mailing list in business catalyst which is what we were using.
    Why does this need to be so difficult?
    In fact, I would much prefer if I could create the form in Adobe Muse and just have it save the person to our database in BC or elsewhere. But again no option to do  this, which means retyping out data manually.
    Id love a good solution.
    thanks

  • Is it possible to deconstruct an existing video to get its component parts?

    I made a video http://gallery.mac.com/lorna6#100193 years ago from footage taken in about 2000 and 2001. In a prior thread I mentioned having somehow losing the AUDIO component. Well, disturbingly, I went and watched the video from my old iMovie '06 and discovered that it was the video clips that were missing, not the audio. In the picture below, those black frames represent no video to be seen. I think that the exclamation mark in the yellow circle means the same thing or that something went awry.
    Here is a picture of the clips in the work space part -- the upper left quadrant, of my iMovie '06 project.
    To clarify: I forgot how I made that video because it was so long ago. I know from reading about iMovie '09 that I will probably do more videos on it because it sounds less complex but equally good for the most part.
    Someone in this forum, John, encouraged me to go over the highlights of that old video using the iMovie '09 program and I liked that idea........ so you can imagine my dismay when I returned to the program, opened it up, and now see that I lack not the audio, but the most precious video.
    Sadly, the original footage is lost due to external hard drive crashes. I might have kept a memory chip that had it but after all these years and me being disorganized, I do not know where it is.
    Is there a way that I can use the iMovie 06 video that you see at my Mobile Me Gallery to extract the clips and the audio? Or if not the audio, then at least all of the video clips? *Is it possible to deconstruct an existing video to get its component parts?*
    ~L

    I have had a series of iMovie applications but I used them all too infrequently, partly out of Fear of Trying. Now with the iMovie '09 out, I think I can do it. Yes, I know that I made the Cheyenne video with a previous app, but I found it confusing at times, and look now and see how I bollixed it up, losing some clips in ways I do not know.

    That's a miniDV camera, which uses tape. It's very similar to my earlier camera, as listed in my details below - the Sony DCR-TRV20. I now mainly use a high definition AVCHD Sony HDR-SR7 - that's why I've switched from iMovie HD 6 to iMovie '09.
    .......... Lorna says ...........................
    John, I call that a Pandoa's Box paragraph up there! First of all, I am left thinking that the type of videocam that I use will determine which kind of iMovie application I use. Yes? Can I assume that since you with your Sony DC-TRV20 have high definition AVCHD, then my DC-TRV11 might also have it.
    I have my user manual in front of me and looked in the Index for both HD and AVC (what is the C in AVC?), and neither is listed. I cannot find anywhere in the manual that tells whether my mini digital TRV11 also has high def AVDHC.
    How important is that in using the new iMovie '09? If my Sony does not have it, then does that simply mean that I cannot make use of the HD capability of iMovie '09?
    All of this would have been a moot question because earlier I had decided to just use the video component in my Canon digital camera, but then getting my Sony mini digital out and seeing and touching it, and remembering it worked, I began thinking that maybe I should use the camera video for when I am away from home and the Sony for when I am here at home.
    There is one thing I would say about HD: It is a memory gobbler, and if you make videos for YouTube, you might feel the constraints within that platform. It might be better for showing things to family and friends on your home tv with no megabyte or time restrictions.
    You/John C. continued writing:
    Your thoughts on archiving and backup sound sensible Lorna. I must admit, I don't backup as often as I should. I've been using the old Apple Backup program, but am considering moving to Time Machine, with an appropriate hard drive to match - maybe Time Capsule like you are using.
    .......... Lorna says ...........................
    John,if you decide to get Time Capsule to work wirelessly and continuously with Time Machine, then I suggest you consider a 2 terabyte capacity. I began using the Apple Back up but found it confusing and ultimately insufficient.
    You/John C continued writing:
    Currently (as listed below), I have 4 external hard drives - 3 are FireWire 400 and the largest one is FW 800. None of these has ever given me a problem (touch wood) - they are LaCie 120GB (not your favourite!), and 3 Maxtor's - 250GB, 300GB and 1TB. The 1TB drive is RAID enabled, having two 500GB drives in the enclosure, which I'm effectively using as one drive, that is, one is not a mirror of the other - so if one fails I've lost all the data! A good reason for using Time Machine.
    .......... Lorna says ...........................
    John I still am not clear on what RAID is and I guess I will Google it to find out. What is the purpose of having two separate drives housed in a shell? Is it about saving space? Or is it about ports? Or what?
    Of course, if you get the one that was mentioned by someone earlier, than it would warn you when something is about to go wrong and you could act pre-emptively. But that was suggested for a business or a pro, neither of which I am.
    You/John C wrote:
    As my HD camera is a hard drive model (60GB), I archive the footage to the Maxtor 1TB drive, using iMovie's "Archive All" feature. From there, it's easy to import clips into an Event, which is also stored on the Maxtor - so double jeopardy! I had better get cracking on updating my backup strategy
    .......... Lorna says ...........................
    I am lost. What do you mean, your HC camera is a hard drive model? And what you wrote sounds like something important that I should understand more precisely. I am thinking that the salesguy at Best Buy was right: I should get yet another hard drive in which to store specifically and only my homemade video stuff, my iTunes, and my photographs. I don't know how I would do that, though, if I want them to be stored ALSO IN MY 2TERABYTE SEAGATE as a double archive.

  • Is possible to Integrate SAP BCM with Third party?

    Hello Everyone,
    Some of you can tell me if Is possible to integrate SAP BCM with another solution IBM ITSM?
    The integration would also have the screen pop up the same or similar to SAP CRM.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards
    Rodrigo Lucas

    Hi Rodrigo,
    There is the ClientCOM interface!
    The interface is an application programming interface (API) to a softphone client Communication
    Desktop (CDT). This client application is based on the Microsoft Internet Explorer, and they can
    handle telephone calls by using the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology.
    This interface defines a subset of the events and commands that are important to third-party
    developers. Currently it is used finding out who is calling, and making outbound calls, playing
    files to outbound callers.
    You can download ClientCOM interface document in SAP Marketplace.
