What are the risks of Installing win 10 preview ?

I have a brand new Dell Inspiron Laptop, and I was thinking of installing windows 10 preview on a new partition , so I can dual boot!
Could installing win 10 preview cause any damage to the hardware at all ?
I am not going to touch the original OS or the C Drive, I want to install this on a new partitioned drive !

Hi SQLDev198155,
I think the best steps are:
firstly, make an image of your original partitions (I mean whole drive, i.e. all partitions)
(I use Acronis TrueImage as a tool of making an image)
A. and then, use virtual environment (I use
VirtualBox)
A-1. install VirtualBox on your current OS
A-2. create a virtual machine and install Windows 10 onto the virtual machine
or
B. do dual-boot as you want :
(after making an image, same as the above)
install Windows 10 onto a new partition
I have three Windows 10:
1. as a virtual machine : in VirtualBox that is running on Windows 7 : Windows 10 works
with no problems
2. upgrading from Windows 7 : no problems (some applications needed to re-install)
3. dual-boot with Windows 8.1 : some problems
-- short-time freezing after booting from Win10, and Bluetooth mouse needs "Paring" whenever Win10 boots.
I hope it will be some help.
P.S. Windows 10 does not cause any damage to the "hardware". But it may cause some troubles on "software".

Advisable is irrelevant... It is not possible. There has not been a version of IE for Mac for a long time. You will have to load Windows on your Mac in order to run IE, or try making your browser mimic IE. (In Safari, go to Safari -> Preferences, click the Advanced tab and check the box to show the Develop menu. Then, in that menu, choose User Agent -> Internet Explorer x.0.) Note that doing that will not work if the site relies on some weird non-standard feature of IE that no other browser on the planet has.

Hi,
I would read through the Testing and Tuning section of the following page.

Even though you are not about to go into production I think the Production Checklist has some very useful information.

What are the risks when doing a Delete / Re-load of Data in InfoCube?

Hi,
What are the risks/issues when doing a complete Delete / Re-load of Data in InfoCube?
Rgds,
Mark.

We are introducing a new Key Figure to the InfoCube and this KF needs historical data.
The only way I thought this could be achieved was by deleting the data from the InfoCube and re-loading it (It gets loaded from R/3 with no ODS used).
Is this the only way or are there other options in a BW 3.5 environment?

HT3986 what is the risk to install windows 7 on mac book pro?

what is the risk to install windows 7 on mac book pro?

If you have back ups and follow apples instructions on using bootcamp assistant to install Win7, there is no risk.
If you choose not to follow the instructions apple provides and have no back ups well then there is high risk of dissapointment.
Just follow the instructions and you should be fine.
Good luck.
Edit: Here's a link to the install instructions. Just choose the one for "Lion OSX". Should be the first one on the list.

What are the chances on installing Windows 8 pro on mac?

Hi guys, i just wanna know if what are the chances on installing a windows 8 pro on mac?
I just bought a CD of windows 8 pro. Im planning to use it on my mac because i am currently studying a software which is applicable on windows such as Visual Studio 2008, 2010 or 2012.
I am planning to use bootcamp for windows 8 pro, i dont like to use parallels or vm.
and i heard about bootcamp doesnt support windows 8, is that true?
If it is true, so does it means it is not possible to use windows 8 using bootcamp?
Am i right that bootcamp offers the drivers or something?
Or can i just update the drivers for windows manually, u know the thing which u can found it on control panel on windows.

Running Windows 8 on my iMac right now buddy. You don't actually need Bootcamp to do all the heavy work for you - it's just a parition tool. However, you will need Bootcamp tools once Windows is installed to get the most out of windows. Without the Bootcamp tools installed, Windows will run - your mouse and keyboard should also work, but the resolution, graphics, speed.etc will all be a little over the place. I used Bootcamp tools 3.0 as it came with my iMac, not sure if the latest 4.0 works...
Boot Camp 5.1 is the latest version, but no version includes drivers for Windows 8.

What are the risk involved in Database Migration from Oracle 7 to oracle10G

HI,
As a business requirement me are need to migrate our current production database (Oracle 7.3.4) to Oracle 10G R2.
I need to understand the Risk involved in doing so and corrective action required.
Your small input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vijay

As a business requirement me are need to migrate our current production database (Oracle 7.3.4) to Oracle 10G R2.
There is no risk.
but you can't upgrade directly from 7 to 10g.
you need to upgrade first 7 to 9 then 9 to 10g ( i would recommend to go with 11g)
Or
If database size is small the best is EXPORT /IMPORT. easy fast safe.
http://tahiti.oracle.com ===check the upgrade guide for more details.
You need to test the completely upgrade process on TEST eviourment before doing anything in production.
becuase a lots of changes between two database version.
1. You may be face "Performance" issue after upgrade. so need to check properly.

Taj

With 6 what are the steps to install Oracle 11gR2?

In public-yum at least there doesn't appear to be any oracle-validated to get the dependencies loaded before trying to install Oracle.
So what is the process with R6U0?

As Avi suggested, following the Oracle installation for OEL 5 is pretty fine - eventhough 11gR2 on OEL6 is not yet cetified.
I just received an exception on the missing package pdksh-5.2.14-30.6.x86_64.rpm. It was not required on OEL5, I'm not a Linux specialist but I have had to take it from OEL4.7, then everything is working fine.

App Specific Passwords - What Are The Risks?

Hi,
I'm quite clear on what app specific passwords are, how they are generated and how to use them with my apps but I have a general query re their potential misuse before I actually go live.
For instance if I want to use iOS Outlook on my iPhone I need an app specific password to login to get iCloud emails. Job done.
But what happens if that app specific password were to get into the wrong hands?
I understand from other systems using app specific passwords that there could be the loophole potential for this to be used to basically bypass 2 step authentication and login to my Apple ID via say, the iCloud website. Is this true of the Apple system?
I assume that if I name the app specific password Outlook then the Apple system isn't going to restrict the use just to the iOS Outlook app on my one specific iPhone and to only the email system in iCloud, I mean, how can it?
So if my app specific Outlook password should fall into the wrong hands I assume it can be used by any app on any device to gain access to my iCloud account and data.
Surely this can't be right and I'm misinterpreting things? I'd hope that as a minimum it could only be used to gain access to my data and not account details and security specific areas. Ideally I'd like a way for the password to be limited for use on specific devices and only have access to specific areas of iCloud data.
It would be nice to try apps that don't yet support the iCloud 2 step authentication without compromising security to the degree where the 2 step authentication is basically a farce. I assume that 2 step authentication for apps is not available outside the Apple eco system and Apple apps yet.
Any help greatly appreciated.

What are the steps for installing applet on real card?

Hi,
It has been a month that I am fighting to install applet on java card and now I am really confused where I am going wrong?
I have 3 sets of cards --
1 ) Gemalto (no specific name known) - ATR is --3B 6D 00 00 80 31 80 65 B0 84 01 00 AC 83 00 90 00
As gemalto customer support doesn't know about this card so I was unable to find its card manager AID. The standard Game expresso card manager AID does not work with this card.
2 ) Pre- Personalized NXP card-- This is JCOP 3.1 complaint pre-personalized card but i am not able to perform Init- Auth using a GPShell script. I have key but some how GPshell script does not work.
3) NXP Smart MX family cards(IBM JCOP v2.2 41) -- These cards are not pre-personalized. So what i am supposed to do with these cards so that they will be pre-personalized?
I will be really thankful for any kind of reply.
Edited by: Amit_D30 on Jul 28, 2008 4:59 AM

Any ways I got rid of this error as my card was supporting mode 201 of GPShell instead of mode_211.
But even with the mode_201 I am getting error as card cryptogram failed.

So should I try it again or Will my card get blocked? (out of 5-6 tries only one try returned me Card cryptogram failed error in other cases I was getting error as Invalid parameter P1,P2 )

What are the steps to install Windows 8.1 on my Macbook Pro w/retina using VMware?

I have never attempted anything like this so I'm being (overly) cautious. I already have vmware installed. Do I need Windows 7? 8.1? 32 or 64 bit? SO many questions and I can't find the answers on Windows or vmware's sites.

There are 2 ways to use Windows with Fusion. You can either install it directly as a Virtual Machine, or you can install it as a Boot Camp parttion and you will have the option of using it with Fusion or booting directy into Windows. I prefer to do it the latter way.
If you install Windows within Fusion directly once you open Fusion
1. Select "New" from the File menu.
2. Double Click on Install from Disk or Image
3. If your using a DVD it will show in the next Window, or if you are using an ISO click on "Use another disc image..." and locate the image
4, Click Continue and then follow the prompts through installation.
If you want to Install Windows via Bootcamp, you should use the Bootcamp assistant. You will need the Windows DVD or disc image, and an 8GB flash drive. Just run the assistant and follow the prompts. Once Windows is installed, run Fusion and then:
1. Select "New" from the File menu.
2. Click on More Options...
3. Click on Install from Boot Camp
4. Click Continue and then follow the prompts to setup your Boot Camp partition to be used in Fusion.

What are the risks in using a RFC which is NOT RELEASED?

Hi.
I am in verge of implementing CP_BD_DIRECT_INPUT_PLAN (The Direct Input API used for Routing(PP-BD-RTG) update) which is not yet released by SAP. Can anyone tell me what is going to happen if I use a not-released FM.
Thanks i& regards,
~ Guru

Hi,
there are so many FM's from SAP that are not released, so I can say, don't worry about that. I think, there are about 50 % of the SAP FM's we use, that are not released.
If th FM works fine for you, then use it. But don't use FM's that are marked as obsolete. Sometimes you can find notes in the FM docu for a successor FM or class, then use them.

Klaus

New version of firefox not compatible with my OS? what are the risks?

Hello,
When I was prompted to update my firefox browser, I was subsequently told my Macbook OS 10.5.8 didn't support the new firefox and that I would therefore be subject to cyber attacks from now on, or something similar to that. I don't actually remember the exact phrasing. It did sound ominous. What do you suggest I do? Can I keep on using the outdated version of Firefox that I currently have? or should I switch to a different browser altogether?
Dokolo

You could turn on the Mac OS firewall, and get an antivirus. I am running Firefox 3.6.28 on my laptop with Mac OS 10.4.11, and have not run into any problems so far, being behind a router, with the firewall on and with an antivirus installed.
