Re: Yoga 2 Pro - upgrade from 8.1 to 8.1 pro

A little off topic, but hope you guys can help.
Seems our Yogas are pre-installed with Win 8.1. I need 8.1 pro for powershell and hyper-v.
If I tell it to upgrade, it asks me for £99.99.
So the price to upgrade from 8.1 to 8.1 pro is £100, but to upgrade to 8.1 pro from any other operating system (XP, VIsta or win 7 basic, pro, enterprise, whatever) is £45.
This is rediculous.
The only way I can see to do it is to wipe the computer, intall XP using an old key I have kicking about, then buy a 8.1 pro upgrade.
Anyone got any other ideas?

Hi. I was able to enter my the 8.1 key I got from DreamSpark into my Y2P and it accepted it.

After upgrading from acrobat 9.5 to XI pro my users have complained on slow typing when filling in form that were created in version 9.5?

The issue is they type but there is 2 second delay when it appears in the field.
Windows 7 64bit

I see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again.

You can write to Apple with the serial number and they can tell you exactly when your MacPro (as opposed to Mac Book Pro) was manufactured.
And in the Apple menu > about this Mac > more info > there should be sufficient detail to narrow it down.

How To: Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 pro

I upgrades from windows 7 home to windows 7 pro.
I could not use the anytime upgrade option, so I did a full install
I had a problem that I notice is common for many people, I came up missing drivers for my lan and wifi cards among others, I followed the advice given to others, and found chipset drivers and a few others, however, I had loaded some drivers already, so I am coming up missing the ntwork controler and the usb 2.0 crw. I am also missing the drivers for the camera, and special functions on the key board. I believe that the first step I need to take is to throw away some drivers and reinstall the chiipset drivers and others I have read recommended. However, I don't know what to throw out.

If you ask for help here, it's generally best to respond in less than a week to someone who's offered to help you. But, let's assume you were very tied up or away.
Regardless, your model's specifications clearly show that your system originally came with Windows 7 Home Premium, and that it came out in 2013. So, it's difficult to understand why you are upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7. Oh, wait, I see your thread title says from Windows XP to Windows 7 pro, but in the text of your original post it says from Win7 Home to Win7 Pro. Again, this is a little confusing.
Regardless, as it's safe to assume you have already wiped out your Toshiba Recovery Partition in doing a clean install of Win 7 Pro. So, let's just try this. Download this Toshiba utility, double click to begin installation.

Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

Upgrade from NT to XP on Satellite Pro 4600

is there any chance to upgrade from NT to XP, or can i just install any bootable XP version on my 4600? or does a special XP version for satellite pro 4600 with all the required drivers exist???

Hi!
I don't know anything about some SPECIAL version of WinXP for yr notebook, but it is possible just upgrade yr NT upto XP. Besides, WinXP has very powerful drivers database, which covers most of devices. There is only one "but": some special features (functional buttons) can be not available.

Hi，
By analyzing the error log, operating system did not have correct privileges to perform the upgrade.
Did your computer join the domain?
If your computer joined the domain,we suggested you to remove the machine from Domain and move it to a workgroup
Did you have multi-bootable partitions? If yes, mark your Windows partition as "Active".
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mark-partition-active#1TC=windows-7
If the issue persists,Run CMD as Administrator, type following command：
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
Also, find the following location,and update the ownership of this directory to the Administrators group and granted Administrators Full Control to the directory.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
Hope this helps.

Mac Pro Upgradable from one core to two cores?

If I were to buy a Mac Pro with One 3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” would I be able to get a second One 3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” and put it in later?

From what I could grasp at this forum and general googling, you can totally upgrade the Mac Pro with another processor later. People have done it to 2006, 2008 and 2009 models. Take a look at AnandTech and also www.o0o.it.
It doesn't seem to be an easy procedure, but if you had some experience with computer parts before it would not be a too much of a trouble.
There are two main issues you can face:
1. You need to make sure that your Mac Pro will have two processor slots on the motherboard. I wasn't able to find an exact confirmation of that on the net.
2. You will most definitely have only one heatsink installed, so you will need to buy a second one. Apparently, they are not identical, as in Apple's parts list they are listed as "A" and "B", but I'm not sure about that. Check the www.welovemacs.com they seem to have one on sale. Btw, it also looks like the 2010 model and 2009 models have the identical heatsinks, so you should be able to find it on eBay.
I'm looking at the Mac Pro myself at the moment, and it seems that there is literally no reason to buy more dual-CPU models. Xeons will not cost peanuts in the future, but they will definitely be cheaper than now.

Will Windows 8 Pro Upgrade from Microsoft works on Lenovo's Windows 8 image?

Hi,
So kind of a strange question, but since Windows has the special price for upgrading XP/Vista/7 to Windows 8 for $39.99, I was wondering if that would work on the factory shipped windows 8 from Lenovo?
Not that I have any particular reason to do it, but it would be nice to have another backup copy since I could only currently put the recovery disk on a flash drive, Windows 8 doesn't seem to support optical ones for creating restore image. The flash drives are a bit easier to misplace I find.

My current notebook wasn't shipped with W8, so no. But it's officially supported by Microsoft. So as long as you have the right edition (Standard or Pro), it will use the key stored in the BIOS.
There was some documents lying around the web regarding this and several posts and articles.
Cheers.
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

Trying to upgrade from Win 8 to Win 8 Pro, missing "add features"

Hello,
I bought a new laptop that has Win 8 preinstalled on it. I can't figure out how to tell what edition, I think it's Home something or other.
I've tried following the directions at:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs
When I swipe and search for "add features" it comes up blank. I have a MSDN subscription and downloaded (and got a key for) a Win 8 Pro ISO, but I tried running it and it didn't seem to do anything. I was never presented with a
place to enter my key for the upgrade. I assume I can use this key if I ever get the "add features" to show up?

You have to change the product-key on the "Computer" to the Windows 8 Pro Key. But you will not be able to give the Win 8 pro product-key at the time during the DVD installation process, at least that's what happened for me doing a Win 8
Pro install over Win 8 Home. This is assuming you booted off the Win 8 Pro DVD and did the install, and it never asked for the product-key.
After the install, you can go to the Desktop tile from the Start page and go to File Explorer where you will see the "Properties" tab. You can also type in "computer" from that Start page, and then you can click the
icon that takes you to File Explorer and to the "Properties" tab. It's at the "Properties" tab where you will see the specs for the computer and the O/S type. You will also see a line about "changing the product-key or activate it",
and it is there where you will give the Win 8 pro product-key. It will run for a little bit, but after it's all said and done, the O/S should indicate that it's Win 8 pro.
I believe the only time you will see the "change product-key" is when you boot off the Win pro DVD and do the install, and then the change product-key feature is activated so you can change the product-key.
I went through hell for a couple of hours. I did the install off the Win 8 pro DVD and installed it. It never stopped and asked for the product-key. I looked at the computer specs after the install, and it never showed that it was Win 8 pro. It was still
Win 8 Home. :) What the hell do mean you are not Win 8 Pro? I did the install off of the DVD! :)

Cannot install upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to XI Pro

I have uninstalled Standard, downloaded upgrade per Tech help, and when I click on .exe file it brings up a pop-up for Standard Installation. Any help?

Are you running Windows? It's possible that some of the files part of the previously installed Acrobat XI Standard have been left behind on your system, causing this issue.
Adobe has made a tool available that helps you cleanup failed or partial uninstalled of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat versions – it's for standalone installs. Hopefully running this tool on your system prior to trying to run the Acrobat XI Pro install
The tool is available from Adobe Labs: Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool
If this doesn't work, let us know some more details:
What operating system are you running? (Win 7, Win 8, Mac OS X 10.10.x etc).
Provide screenshots if possible with error messages you might see.
and any other information that might help us help you.

How can I upgrade from Web Premium CS3 to Flash Pro CS6?

I have a license for Web Premium CS3 (including Flash CS3 Pro) and bought an upgrade for Flash CS6. But I had problems with my license code because the installer always want's a Flash CS3 Pro license code and I only have a Web Premium license code. How can I solve this?
Thanks
MrFlatBeat

You can't. Standalone products cannot be used with a suite serial. Eitehr you buy a full standalone license of Flash or upgrade your entire suite. Get in touch with sales.
