Is it very important to download windows 8.1? I dont use my PC much.
How important is it to install windows 8.1. I have windows 8. I don't use my computer much.
Jolly1, welcome to the forum.
Microsoft will tell you that it is very important if you are using the Internet. However, it is entirely up to you. I know from personal experience that Win 8.1 can cause problems. I am using it now, however, without any problems.

How do I get Internet exploprer on Windows 10? I downloaded Windows 10 . I was using Windows7
Windows 10 removed Internet explorere and put Edge in it's place. Would like to get Internet explore back in addition to Edge
I am quite certain it is already on the system. Place your cursor in the Cortana/Search box with the magnifying glass next to the Start button on the bottom left and click once. Type "Internet Explorer" without the quotes and the "app" should appear at the top of the list. You can then either pin it to Start or the Taskbar for future access.

I'm running Windows XP which is updated to latest version (which I think might be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.
At some time in the past (maybe a few versions ago) when I would download a file from the Web, the "Downloads" window would open and in the window would be displayed the name of the file I was downloading or had just completed downloading. I think I used to be able to then click on that file name and the file (or the installation file if needed to start the new program) would open. I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (the "About Firefox" screen says this is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it always has in the past, but it remains blank, i.e., nothing appears in the downloads box. I don't remember making any configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain blank, but I could be mistaken. I know how to find the items I've downloaded (My Documents / Downloads) and can usually guess what the name of the downloaded file might be, but it used to be much easier when something (anything) showed up in the downloads window.
I'd love for someone to tell me about a simple fix for this. I'm willing to be quite embarrassed that I did something I shouldn't have.'''In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

I am trying to download windows 7 on my imac using bootcamp. When selecting Disk 0 Partition 3 Bootcamp as instructed the result came back as an error saying: The selected partition requires at least 5707 mb of free space. How do I fix this so that I can continue to download?
You mean install from the DVD, that isn't downloading
And you changed the format of BOOTCAMP which was FAT32 to NTFS
Windows 7 - I would not try to install on a partition smaller than 50GB for 64-bit version, probably 40GB for 32-bit, and you never want to go with less than double what the minimum.
You need to remove the partition Boot Camp Assistant and create a larger partition.
There is a busted "download drivers" but as you know by now, that has NEVER worked and yet here we are 9 months later and no confirmation or fix.

Trying to download Windows 7 version of ITunes and it is taking a very long time is this normal?*
I have been trying to download Windows 7 version of ITunes to my computer and it seems to be taking a very long time. Is this normal? It has been stuck on 1hr 4mins at 25% for over an hour. Is there an easier way to get Itunes or is this the only way to wait for hours for the download?
It shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Did you download directly from Apple:

I have already installed Window-7 in my Mac (64 bit). When I downloaded window support software I every time saw network error option on my screen. But network working very well and I can brows webpage. Will someone suggest me support for OSx Lion .
If I remember right there "may" be a problem if you have a proxie settings enabled.
System Preferences/ Network/ Advanced/ Proxies. Can't remember which one or if it was an issue in 10.7 or 10.6. Just make sure their all unchecked and try again.
You might try a search in these forums for more information. Different fix's for different issue's.

On January 26th, I downloaded iCloud for Windows and logged in using my account which was the same with the one on my Mac. 2 days later, at 3:27 PM January 28th, my 1 GB of documents on my iCloud storage got deleted automatically. I'm saying this because at that time I was sleeping and both my Mac and my Windows PC are turned off, and I'm home alone, besides there was no suspicious login reported to me by Apple.
So is there any possible way to recover these documents? I'm a teacher and they're very important to me. My Time Machine wasn't enabled so using it is useless.
Thank you so much for any help.Please please help me, if you know how.

After purchasing Adobe Acrobat Pro my download window is painfully slowly and seemingly stuck. If i try to pause or cancel the download it stops responding completely. I have tried to stop/start, redownload, and start fresh several times...all with the same result. Any advice?
Try downloading the offline installer from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html

A long time ago I saw a post with a link to download windows 7 iso from lenovo to allow reintallation with lenovo drivers etc. for a W520.
I am about to recieve a new W530 (not the W540), and will bin the SSD it comes with and replace it witha 1TB M550 SSD. I need to find a way to install windows on the M550. I dont have any cloning SW, and currently dont have a USB 3 caddy (have been waiting for weeks for one from ebay - have given up on it).
So If I could download windows 7, make an ISO, and install via DVD directly onto the new SSD that would be GREAT!
Anyone know of a link to this?
I am aware of the recovery partiotion which comes on the factory HD, but presume this can only be used to reinstall on the same original drive, not a new one, and have heard its not possible to create backup media from it (so not sure what use it is).eos wrote:

Hi there!
It sounds like you have a lot of detailed plans in store. I will give you a general answer concerning the Windows 7 question. It's a very late hour here in the States, but I love to help people by sharing my experience on this issue. Here is one way you can deal with your problem. But let me just preface by saying that whatever you're planning to do, Windows licensing issues are your responsibility. Use your best judgment. I assume the best of intentions when someone asks these types of questions and trust you will deal wisely and prudently with any possible Windows licensing concerns.
I assume you have a valid Windows 7 license (whether "C.O.A." or "O.A." sticker on the back of your laptop, Retail key you have purchased, or your laptop originally came with Windows 7 or 8 installed by the manufacturer, Lenovo). I know on some of the newer models these days they try to hide the license key from the owner- but you may be able to find a copy of your Windows 7 product key using a "key viewer" program). When you have purchased a laptop with Windows 7 (or stinky Windows 8 and switched back to Windows 7), IMHO you have every right to the installation/ re-installation media. And I do not believe you should have to pay an exorbitant (ridiculously high) fee or go through a long, tedious process to re-install your operating system on your laptop, which you paid good money for.
There is a useful KnowledgeBase article here: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Knowledge-Base/Win-7-product-key-is-not-working/ta-p/1035403 (But it was simply taken from my long post here: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Discussion/Win-7-Product-key-not-working/m-p/1024331#M11851. I was never consulted (no one communicated with me), so while attempting to summarize my long post they mixed up/confused a few important terms towards the end and even introduced a few spelling mistakes As an English teacher, I'm a bit of a perfectionist. So I'm sure they meant well but it's best to read through my original post for clear and correct info. ) [As of today's date, 7-6-14, the KnowledgeBase article still needs to be edited carefully. Hopefully this will not be an issue in the future and forum visitors will be able to have the correct info. as I originally intended].
Make sure you download and burn to DVD the correct Windows 7 "ISO" file to match your product key (i.e. Windows 7 Professional, Home Premium, etc.):
Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO Image Downloads (directly from Microsoft website): http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/
This link is very useful as these ISO files are provided/ approved by Microsoft itself and contain SP1 (service pack 1) already incorporated, which will save you a lot of time. As I always say, get 'em while they're hot. Who knows when Microsoft may decide to start bullying its millions of patrons again and pull these links. So I encourage everyone I meet to download a copy of these ISO files and burn them to disc. I personally plan on using Windows 7 on my machines for a while to come. And I have certainly given Microsoft enough money/ purchased enough of their products in my days as a student and now as an educator.
Many different language versions are available at the link above, whether English, Spanish, etc. (As I notice you're located in a very interesting part of the world "loved" by both England and Spain )
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo) -

IT WONT LET ME DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 8.1
I have tried many times to update my laptop to windows 8.1 but it says 'this application wasn't installed -view details '.I click on that and it repeatably says it couldn't be installed and offers to try again .The error code "0x8020002e' keeps coming
up .I have tried removing the battery and dusting it off , nothing , deleting many files , nothing , and also deleting apps that i have previously downloaded , nothing. As well as this my laptop needs a new version of java to run certain applications , but
it will not download as i am unable to download windows 8.1 , which means i cannot get on certain applications that i need to get on to complete various projects . I am not sure whether these problems are in a result of a virus ( which is very unlikely as
my security software -Microsoft- has completed various scans and not picked anything up ) or if it is just a manufacturing problem in my laptop , but this needs to be sorted . I have been very impressed with the quality present in windows 8 - until now- and
have recommended it to many people , but this problem really needs to be sorted as it is restricting what i can complete on my computer.Hi,
It's a bit confusing. Did you want to update to Windows 8.1?
We need to confirm some information:
1. What's the Operating System in your computer now?
2. Where did you download the Windows 8.1?
Windows 8.1 upgrades are available in the Windows Store or on media. Note that when you upgrade to Windows 8.1 from the Windows Store, you cannot change editions. Upgrading to a different edition of Windows 8.1 is supported from media only.
Volume license versions of Windows 8, Windows 8 Enterprise, and Windows 8 Enterprise Eval versions cannot be upgraded from the Windows Store. You must use media to upgrade these editions.
Meanwhile, please read this article to see if it could resolve your issue:
Something happened and the install of Windows 8.1 can't be completed. (And now
you're annoyed)
