R61 7733 upgrade from 2GB XP Pro to 4GB Win7 Pro 64 bit?

I"m happy with it but I like Win7 on my other Thinkpads.  Looking at the drivers, it appears that my machine would have the drivers for Win7Pro. 
Has anyone done this, is it worth it.
I have Win7 Pro on i5 and i7 Thinkpads.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  I assume that since I'm doing a clean install, I can swap out the hd for and SSD.  Is there a particular type that I should pick or any that I should stay away from?
My preference when it comes to SSDs would go along the lines of Samsung 830 or 840Pro, Crucial M4 (not V4) or Intel's models with their own controller, not the Sandforce one. I'd stay away from OCZ and Mushkin.

  • Upgrad from Windows 8 Pro on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center!

    Hello,
    I did upgrade from Windows 8 Pro on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center. Now the problem is when I press on any file with the right mouse button is normally open curtain menu, but when I press on any folder, right-click, the system crashes after a few seconds
    and back up.
    Best regards!

    Hi,
    Go Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer and scroll through the logs for System and Applications to see if anything shows up in red as Error or Warning.
    Meanwhile, going to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers
    in regedit.exe, backing up the whole ConxtentMenuHandlers folder, and then start deleting all of them one by one and continuously testing the right click.  Of course import the Context folder after you find it, test once again by right clicking
    to make sure you found the problem, and delete the file that caused the problem.

  • T410 Windows 7 Upgrade - from Win 7 Pro 32 to Win 7 Ultimate 64.

    I purchased a T410 with Win 7 Pro 32 and am looking for the option to upgrade it to Win 7 Ultimate 64.
    The shop in the country (Singapore) do not provide such option/customization.
    Called tech support in the country without getting much info (they said they only support hardware). 
    Tried Lenovo shop in the country and they will only help to upgrade to Pro 64 with a charge, however without any recovery media (OS and drivers).  I need Ultimate 64.
    Browsed Lenovo site and couldn't find anything relevant.
    Hope someone will give me the direction to upgrade from Win 7 Pro 32 to Win 7 Ultimate 64 (with all drivers).

    Dear Yannick Plavonil,
    That discussion was started by me only on dell community and it was not resolved. 
    However if I upgrade can I revert back to Win 7, if something does not resolve or some of the devices
    connected to the motherboard do not work?

  • When upgrading from Abobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI, is it possible to save Headers and Footers in documents?

    I support a law firm that users headers and footers in their documents.  They are upgrading from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI.  when they did an install on one PC, the headers and footers in a PDF did not show and had to be recreated.  Is there a way around that?  I's appreciate any input.
    Thanks!
    Ed

    This is a work around. Bring the pdf into Illustrator. Go to Select >Object>Text.  In the attributes panel, deselect Overprint. In the Transparency panel, select Knockout Group. In the Appearance panel, check to make sure the black is not overprinting by clicking on the Character entry. If not, try clicking "Clear Appearance" (here I got a little lost.
    Resave the pdf file. Your black text should now knock out. You may have to retrap, unless your RIP does that for you.
    Hope this helps. (I had to keep trying to get it to work, but I finally did.

  • How can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4  to 10.0.7

    I need to upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 to 10.0.7 but can not find how to do this. Can anybody help?
    Thanks.

         You might do some web searching on "FCPx  torrent ".  I would think that if you have a legitimate copy of FCPx there would be no legal/moral issue with pulling down a 10.0.7 version via bittorrent, but I'm not a lawyer. And of course there are other issues relating to such software but as Tom implies, you can't get an older version from Apple so you'll have to find somebody, somewhere with a 10.0.7 copy that you can install.

  • Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

    Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
    I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

    Apple's web page has the requirements:
    http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
    The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.

  • What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat11 Pro?

    What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat11 Pro?

    Acrobat is a program used by a wide variety of users for a even wider number of purposes. So if we simply gave you a feature list, that wouldn't be very helpful.
    Tell us how you use Acrobat, and what you do with it, and we can suggest improvements that were made in Acrobat X and XI Pro.

  • Cant upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro extended

    Hello everyone,
    I purchased the upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, but get an error when I try to install.  The error says "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed.  Setup will now terminate.".  How is it that Acrobat pro is "more functional" then pro extended.  I bought the upgrade because I need the 3d capabilities of extended pro.  How do I work around this issue?

    Oops.  I just read that I need to uninstall acrobat 9 first.  I now have a new issue.  Acrobat extended installed fine, but now it is doing an upgrade check.  It is asking for the serial number for the acrobat 9 pro.  My old version was part of the Creative suite 4.  When I enter the serial number from the creative suite it comes back as an invalid number.  Why is this?

  • Why upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to X or XI

    What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat  10 or 11?

    You should ask this question in one of the Acrobat forums. The following is probably the most appropriate one: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/creating__editing_%26_exporting_pdfs?view=discus sions
    It would be helpful to know the type of things you use Acrobat for. Some features have been enhanced significantly and some functionality you have with Acrobat 9 Extended has been removed.

  • Upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 to the latest version

    I purchased few years ago Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and enjoying it since.
    Recently I purchased a new camcorder outputing MP4 and AVCHD video formats which cannot be read by Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5.
    What are my options?
    Is there a path to upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 to a version which can read MP4 and AVCHD video formats?
    Philippe

    There are two solutions for you and neither of them offer any discount for already having version 1.5 since it was released over 10 years ago.
    You can atill purchase Premiere Pro CS6 (which will never, ever, be upgraded) and have it for a one time price, or, you can simply subscribe to the Creative Clould and get the latest and greatest Premiere Pro CC.
    To sign up for one product is $19.99 per month, and to sign up for all of them is $49.99 per month. That is just about every Adobe program from Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, all the way through to Acrobat Pro.

  • Can I upgrade from Acrobat 11 Pro to DC Pro?

    Can I upgrade from Acrobat 11 Pro to DC Pro?

    Hey marcp30425730,
    If you are using Creative Cloud or Acrobat XI subscription, then you will get a free upgrade to Acrobat DC.
    You can install and activate Acrobat DC subscription on your machine using the same Adobe ID credentials.
    On the other hand, if you own Acrobat XI Pro, then you cannot use the same serial key to activate Acrobat DC.
    You need to purchase a separate perpetual license for DC version, but you'll be qualified for a reduced price when purchasing the perpetual license.
    Hope this information helps you. Let me know if you have further queries.
    I would certainly help you out.
    Regards,
    Anubha
