Upgrade from Windows 7 pro to windows 8.1?

Hi all,
I've just purchased a brand new Elitebook 840 G1 for work, but upon receiving and open the first time, I noticed it come along with Windows 7 pro preinstalled. Are there any case I could "upgrade" it back to the windows 8.1 version as original announcement? This elitebook still has the windows 8 logo on it bottom.
I've been using the 8.1 version for 1 since its release, so now the windows 7 I feel very laggy and unresponsive.
For my case, I'm not living in United State, so I couldn't talk direct to HP Staff.
Many thanks to anyone who could help me this matter.

I think there might be a way that when you install win 8.1 on a system with existing windows it will copy the user profile to a spare partition and then format the C and the then install windows 8
If you do a rebuild on a Win 7 or Win 8 PC from a recovery partition, the software as standard now on the rebuild gives you the options of keeping your Data, even though it will wipe and reinstall everything as per factory settings.
So this is normal and to be expected.
To be honest I wouldn't even do this... I'd backup everything, install Win 8.1 from complete scratch, not keeping any data and then restore data as I needed it. I am apprehensive about it thinking it knows where all my data might be.... especially with how
some programs like to store stuff.
Of course this means everything to install again, but latest versions always good, a clean install

Upgrade from XP pro to Windows 7

Will my existing Premiere Elements 3.0 and Photoshop 5.0 run on windows 7 64 bit operating system? Does this also apply to Premiere Pro CS4?

The best way to find out is to simply try it. Don't forget that Win7 can run apps in "Compatibility Mode" as they would be run by earlier versions of Windows.

Moving iPhone4 from WinXP Pro to Windows 8.1

I'm finally getting around to converting my computers from WinXP Pro to Windows 8.1. I am wondering if there is a tried and true method of hooking up and backing up my iPhone4 (and iPad) to my Windows 8.1 computers, without losing anything or turning my devices into paper weights. Since the folders where the iPhone data reside are in different places from WinXP as opposed to Win8.1, I'm not sure if you can just copy files from the old drive to the new. Can anyone suggest a tested method of switching my devices over without losing my sanity? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music folder in Widows XP to the Music folder in Windows 8.1.

See the External Drive section of this article
Your iPhone 4 backups are in a different folder. Here are the locations for both XP & Windows 8:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

Having upgraded from 8.1 to windows 10, what is on the recovery drive?

I am new to the forum, I hope I have posted in the right place. Having upgraded from 8.1 to windows 10, what is on the recovery drive? if its not windows 10 what must I do to create a new recovery drive? or should I delete it? I have a USB recovery for windows 8.1 if I should need it. I have created a windows 10 repair disk and have a system image on an external hard drive. I dont beleave I actually need the recovery drive as I have a backup option, but I would be good to have the option to recover from the drive. I understand the backup otion I have will allow me to recover if I lose the drive. Please advise Thank you in advance.

Your recovery partition will still be Windows 8.1. Hp wont give you free Windows 10 recovery media even if your laptop is brand new with Windows 8.1 installed.

Error 0x8007000E-0x2000C in upgrade from 7 pro to 8.1 pro

Issue with error on upgrade from 7 pro to 8.1 pro of error 0x8007000E-0x2000C. I have tried the install several times and this error returns every time.

Hi,
First, we need check the system requirements for Window 8.1:
System requirements
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/system-requirements
Or, you can firstly run upgrade assistant tool to help you determine if you are able to install Windows 8.1.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/upgrade-from-windows-7-tutorial
if all things have been done, we can collect the following logs, maybe we can find something about this failure:

Where can i find the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2?

Hello there.
Is the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2 still available out there somewhere? I know I'm a bit behind the rest of the world but financially I'm taking the 'do the best with what you can' route!
Never used logic before, moving up from garageband and cubase sx cos everyone says it's a better program.
Many thanks,
GDx

Hi
If I remember correctly, the 7.2 update was a "Paid for" update, with a new dvd.... so you are most likely out of luck.
The good news is that Logic Pro is pretty cheap on the Appstore

How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

There is no update, you have to purchase Logic 9 from the App Store, it's $199, which is close to the price of an update.
Warning, if you do purchase Logic 9 from the App store it will download 2GB of additional patches/sounds/loops...etc. This is for first time buyers so their App Store Logic will have some basics to work with before trying to download the additional 20+GB of loop/instrument data. If you have a full installtion of Logic 8 it's possible the 2GB of data Logic initially downloads will mess with the instruments and sounds you've been using, past projects may not load properly. Just something to be aware of.

CS5 upgrade from premiere pro 1.5

Is it possible to upgrade from premiere pro 1.5 to CS5?

1st, CS5 is no longer sold, but you may still buy CS6 standalone, or a monthly subscription to CC on the Cloud
http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?promoid=KFPMZ
2nd, even if CS5 was still being sold, Adobe only offers upgrade pricing for one or two versions, so 1.5 would be FAR too old to qualify
-but, as I said above, you have not been able to buy CS5 for a long time, 3 or 4 years
If you are asking will CS5 upen a version 1.5 project file... not likely... too many changes between versions
If you have version 1.5 and can't get it to activate, read below for a special version 2 that you may use
CS2 (and earlier) Activation Server http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l

Can't figure out which upgrade (from 7 Pro) is smartest: 9 Pro? or X Pro?

Can't figure out which upgrade (from 7 Pro) is smartest: 9 Pro? or X Pro?
Should I just ignore the nay-sayers and go ahead with X Pro?
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to bring me up to speed.

I've taken a break from book design, layout, and publishing since finishing 10 books 2 years ago (Kalavinkapress.org). But now I'm back into the thick of it with a another flock of long-doc books in my lap.
Result, I'm now faced with upgrading my IDCS3 & Acrobat 7 Pro. (I'm still OK with my P-shop & Illustrator versions), but am utterly clueless about the advisability of Acro X Pro over the still-available Acro 9 Pro. (I've seen some fairly loud squeaking about X Pro problems.)

It depends a bit on what you're going to use it for. I do mostly forms work and have both versions, but do most of my work with Acrobat 9, and even use Acrobat 7 for some things. There are some initial bugs with Acrobat 10 that need to be worked out, but I'd probably recommend it for most folks.

Upgrading from Adobe Pro 8 to XI

While upgrading from Adobe Pro 8 to XI it asks if I want to "Deactivate EPIC_APP_118". What is it and should I?

Looking through the forums, it appears that error message is related to a Zenworks Licensing Manager System. If you are installing in a enterprise environment, you might want to check with your IT people before you mess with uninstalling and installing new software.

Can i upgrade from Logic PRO 7 to Logic express 9 (upgrade version)?

Hello
I was about to upgrade from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio 9 when i noticed that all the fetures i need are actually now in cheaper Logic Express 9.
So would it be possible to upgrade to Logic Express 9 from Logic Pro 7? or will it only upgrade from older versions of Logic Express?
Many thanks
Tom

Hi,
guess that's not possible. But i strongly recommend upgrading your Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio. It's not that much more money, but i bet once you have the new Express version, you'll desperately miss some of the features you only have with Logic Pro/Studio.
I would recommend to call apple support or ask a dealer to find the correct upgrade version.

I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

Windows 10 upgrade from 7 Pro: No internet and cannot manually install drivers for adapters...

PC: HP Proboook 4510SPrevious OS: Windows 7 Pro 32-bitNew OS: Windows 10 Pro 32 bit Issue: I upgraded to windows 10 from 7 pro and some of my internal devices dont have drivers. I could fix this issue quickly if two of them were not my ethernet card and wireless adapter. Right now I only have 2 adapters listed under network adapters and both are virtual VM ethernet cards. Neither of these can establish a connection through a router I know is working on other laptops in my house. The error I get is that the IP address cannot be resolved. The odd part is that when I look at the details for the VM ethernet cards it shows a good DHCP IP and subnet....TX/RX is no good though as it only shows sending packets and not recieving them. I tried to manually install the windows 7 drivers from a USB stick. I got them off of HP's website. I installed them but it did nothing. However, I was having no luck and restarted and they momentarily showed up in the adapters list (under network settings in control panel). Then as soon as I tried to enable them they went away and I still have no internet. Not sure what is going on or what to do. If I cannot install the HP drivers and get them to work, and I cannot connect to the internet to let windows fix the problem I seem to be stuck.. Please Help.

Hello , I understand that your secondary DVD drive is not recognizable as an optical device on your desktop computer after upgrading to Windows 10. I would be happy to assist you in this matter! When you examine the installed drives in the BIOS, does the 2nd DVD drive appear? What brand are the two DVD drives? What is the product number for your computer? Below is a is an HP Support document that will demonstrate how to find your computer's product number.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on HP PCs - Updating Drivers and Software with Windows Update (Windows 10, 8). This should help to install any possible updates required to run the secondary DVD drive. Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

Upgrading from Ventura to ID: Windows or Mac?

We are a small non-profit, wanting to upgrade from Ventura (dont laugh!) to InDesign for our scientific journal. We have virtually no IT support. Would it be better to operate InDesign in our existing Windows XP environment or switch to Macs? Our IT guy says that if we get Macs, well need to keep our PCs for Outlook email. (And, no, we cant get new IT support)
If this is the wrong question for the forum, please excuse the posting.
Thank you!

FWIW, I, too, and sadly, I admit, had to make the move from Ventura to InDesign last November. Ventura 10 is still a great program and under other circumstances (owners) could have been a market contender.
But that's neither here nor there. ID CS4 is great. There are still some things that Ventura can do that I don't seem to be able to readily replicate in ID, but then I'm still in the learning process.
There is no reason, as others have noted, to switch to Macs to run ID. I certainly didn't for our machines. Windows XP works fine. But one recommendation for the switchover: buy a copy of InDesign CS4 Visual Quickstart Guide by Sandee Cohen (ISBN 0321573579) and keep it handy. I have found that I still think in Ventura terms and Cohen's book is a great reference for figuring out how to do in ID CS4 what came naturally (as a result of years of use) in Ventura 10.
