Windows 10 Upgrade from Windows 7 (Direct X12 Compatible?)

I'm currently using a Acer Aspire 7551-3749 Notebook Laptop that is about more than 7 years old, but i'm upgrading to Windows 10, completely factory resetting (maybe) before I install Windows 10.
Current Specifications:
Windows 7 Home Premium (Service Pack 1)
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II P340 Dual-Core Processor 2.20 GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB (7.75GB Usable) [Upgraded from 3GB Ram]

DAC Type: Internal DAC(400MHz)
Total Available Graphics Memory: 3067MB

Would my system be able to Run Direct X 12?
Please reply.
Thanks.

I'm a frequent poster on the Windows 10 forums, and my advice to folks in this situation (which, by the way includes me since one of my Win10 upgrades went badly, as well) is that an old OS that works well on your machine is vastly preferrable to a new OS that works badly. Installing Win10 messes with the partition structure on the hard drive, nearly always, this results in corrupting any original Recovery partition on the drive -- in fact, the EULA mentions that you won't be able to use that to restore your original OS, but it's buried down in there where no one will see it. Presuming you do not have a full image backup of your machine (or you would have said so), at this point, about all you can do is contact HP support and order Recovery Media. This will be a set of DVDs and a CD, and you can then use them to restore your machine to its original condition. Unfortunately, this will remove all data, settings, and applications from your drive. And, given that yours is not a new machine (I presume), HP will require you to purchase that media.

Upgrading from WebHelp 2002 to Chrome compatible version

I am currently responsible for upgrading a web-based application to be cross browser compatible. This application has a tutorial generated from Robohelp which is displayed using Webhelp 2002, which sits on one of our Linux servers.
Unfortunately this version is not chrome compatible, and therefore the left hand menu does not work in chrome. Is someone able to put me in contact with the person at Adobe who can explain the upgrade process to me?
Thanks in advance

It sounds like maybe you have a bigger problem than the need to upgrade. Do you only have the output files or do you have the source files as well?
The structure of the folder containing the output files will have various files and folders prefixed wh...
If you don't have the source files you are going to have to recreate them from the output files.
The free way of doing that is described at http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard/NewProject.htm#MonthlyScry/062004.htm
and there is quite a bit of work involved in that.
The alternative is a script you can purchase from http://www.wvanweelden.eu and given the time it will save, you may feel it is worth the outlay.
Check with Willam that his script will work with the output files you have. It sounds like they could be from an old version of Rh.

Upgrading from OS 10.5 to 10.6 to 10.7

Due to the death of MobileMe, I need to upgrade an iMac in our office from 10.5 to 10.7 to use iCloud and all its features
Can I just upgrade from 10.5 direct to 10.7 or do I need to go from 10.5 to 10.6 to 10.7.?
Thx Much

Niel,
Thx much...not sure I understand your answer or you understood my question.
We have an iMac in our department that is 10.5, that we need to upgrade to 10.7.
Do we need to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 to 10.7 OR can we upgrade from 10.5 directly to 10.7?
Thx much for any answers you can provide.

It's possbile to upgraded from win2003 x64 sp2 which installed SCOM 2007 R2 into windows 2008 R2 directly?

current OS: windows 2003 R2 x64 SP2
current SCOM version: SCOM 2007 R2
current database version: SQL Server 2005
it's possbile to upgraded from win2003 which installed SCOM 2007 R2 into windows 2008 R2 directly without reconfiguartion SCOM?

Hi,
And as far as I know, in-place operating system upgrade could work, but there is no document about this. Please take backup before doing upgrade.
If you want to in place upgrade the OS, we can simply move SCOM databases to new servers and rebuild management servers one at a time. the downtime for SCOM would be very minimum if the management group has the capacity for agents to report to failover
management servers while the primary MS is getting rebuilt. You do not have to perform in place upgrade on the OS to keep SCOM.
Based on your need, I would like to suggest you add a Windows 2008 R2 as additional management server for your management group. And if possible, please also upgrade your SQL 2005 to SQL 2008.
Here is a thread for your reference:

Regards, Yan Li
Dear Yan, Since rebuild/config SCOM Server is very complicated so it's better that I can just upgraded OS into windows 2008 R2 without do anything else.

Officejet 8620, fail to print, windows 8.1 (upgraded from windows 8)

I have spent many hours trying to resolve an issue on a Dell Vostro laptop, that was upgraded from Windows 8 pro to Windows 8.1 pro and has the latest updates installed. When printing, the print is delivered to the print spooler, it is there momentarily, then disappears. Nothing is delivered to the printer, and no activity is observed at all on the printer. This is on 2 different 8620 printers. I am able to install and print to a laserjet M1217mfp from the laptop with no problems. A different machine that was loaded directly with windows 8.1 prints perfectly to the 8620 printers.
I have tried the following with no success:
1) Install from original HP 8620 installation CD
2) HP Print and scan doctor - remove the print driver and download latest software . ( 3 times)
3) Manually deleting all printers, Stop spooler service, delete print driver from Print Server Properties, uninstall all HP software, reboot and install from latest print driver OJ8620-198 downloaded from this link: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL51217/bi-124140-4/OJ8620_198.exe
4) Same procedure as step 3, including stop spooler, rename C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3 to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3.old. Reboot and install from latest driver as above.
5) Run level 4 on HP Officejet Software and Driver Removal Utility from the link below and reinstall : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=za&lc=en&softwareitem=mp-110134-1
6) Same procedure as step 4, as well as removing printer registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Print Processors except "winprint" key. Delete all HP folders in C:\Program Files\HP. Reboot and reinstall latest driver.
7) Follow the manual procedure described in Microsoft KB2987964 "Cannot print by using a Hewlett Packard XPS-based print driver after you install KB2769165" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2987964 Version of hpbxpsrender.dll is 0.3.7600.16385 consistently through all of the steps listed.
9) Create a new local administrator account on the laptop. Follow the procedure in Step 6.
The issue seems to be that the spooler discards the print immediately and it also seems to be related to the upgrade from windows 8 to Windows 8.1 but only for Officejet Printers. The only option I have not tried yet is to format and reload the machine with Windows 8.1 Pro, but this is a drastic step to resolve a problem that should be resolved by HP based on the many reports posted on the Internet by users experiencing this issue on OfficeJet printers.
What can be done to resolve this?

Hi @Electronza ,
Thank you for providing all the detailed steps you have already tried to resolve this issue. I would like to help you out today.
I have provided a document with some steps for the Print Jobs Disappear from the Print Queue and Do Not Print (Windows 8). Go to Step 4: Rename the HPBXPSRENDER.DLL file, since you have already tried the other steps.
Please take a look at this document from my co-worker, if the issue persists. The driver installed might be the Class Driver and not the HP Full Feature drivers. Missing or partial print issues on Windows 8 / 8.1.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a great weekend!
Thank You.

HP not honoring free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

When I purchased my machine in February 09 with Vista home edition I was promised on the web site and by the sales clerk that I would receive a free upgrade to Windows 7. Now I am told that only machines purchased after June 09 will qualify. I am furious and will not settle for this. Does anyone else have this issue.

Look you might have understood them wrong or you're saying something that they didn't say. They might have told you that there is going to be a free upgrade program for Windows 7 closer to when Windows 7 launches and thought you could get it when you bought it or you just want to accuse HP that they said that you would have the W7 Upgrade for free so you can get the upgrade. You should have looked for an official confirmation from Microsoft for the free upgrade from vista to W7, http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/06/25/announcing-the-windows-7-upgrade-option-program-amp-windows-7-pricing-bring-on-ga.aspx This link was released on June 25, 2009 and officially says that the free upgrade program was going to start on June 26, 2009 and this is directly form the Windows Blog. You made a mistake of listening to people and not looking for the official Microsoft Announcement. Your out of luck. Microsoft did this with xp to vista when vista came out and it was around the same months as vista to W7, so you should have also looked for past free upgrade. On February, Windows 7 date hasn't even been announced and the beta was still in progress as posted here on February 2009 http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/01/23/general-availability-for-the-windows-7-beta-to-end.aspx So this goes back to the top, you should have looked at past free upgrades like xp to vista to check how many months before they will start the free upgrade program.

Upgrade from Oracle 8i in Win98 to Oracle 11g in Window Vista

Hi,
I have an existing system that runs in Window98 using Oracle 8i as database. We are planning to convert the system from using Oracle 8i to 11g, and this new converted system will be running in Window Vista.
What I have in mind is doing export and import from Oracle 8i to 11g, but it is quite troublesome. Is there anyway I can upgrade the db to 11g in Window Vista?

Hi,
When upgrading from 8i to 11g, you cannot perform direct upgrade anyway.
If you want to upgrade (not using exp/imp), you can install 9i (9.2.0.4 and up) on the win98 machine, and upgrade the database to 9i.
Then you can take the database files, copy them (like cold backup) to the vista server, and you will able to upgrade it to 11g.
Note that you cannot use the DBUA in this scenario, you will have to upgrade it manually.

Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

If anyone else is having this problem, I found the solution on another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/920588e5-ccc4-4e24-83d6-606...).
Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:
1. If it doesn't already exist, create a directory named "Low" in your directory "C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\".
2. From a command prompt, issue this command: ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion erase my Windows partition?

Dear all,
I know some one might have asked it but I just wanna re-confirm.
Would the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion erase my Windows partition? I am currently using Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro (Late 2010 Version) and I do not have parallel desktop. I asked the same question when Lion was released, but HK Apple Store said YES and Melbourne Apple Store said no. I am a bit confused now.
Thank you for answering. Cheers!

Nothing.
That said, you should ALWAYS have a backup as anything can happen at anytime.

I have photoshop 6 on a dead pc laptop with windows XP. Have a pc laptop that has been upgraded from Vista 64 bit (where phootshop 6 wouldn't install) to windows 7 professional 32 bit (clean install). Photoshop still won't install. Also having reinstallation issues with pse6 on this same pc. Pse6 was installed and working on vista 64bit version of the OS, now won't install on rebuilt windows professional 7 32bit (keeps giving me serial number not valid errors). I'm not trying to pirate these programs. Just want to reinstall them.

you need,
Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a, or Windows Millennium

Windows 7 no longer boots after upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion

I got a late 2011 MacBook Pro, on which I installed Windows 7 with Boot Camp. After I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion, I can no longer boot Windows. If I keep the option button pressed during boot I only get the OS X and recovery options, and if I choose to boot Windows from the system preferences pane, I get a message that says that no bootable device was found. However, I'm sure that the partition is still there, because I can see it in finder and browse the files normally. How can I boot Windows again?

"Easier" in this case as an alternative is defined as repartitioning/reformatting your disk, and restoring from backups (which for most people also means starting from scratch with Boot Camp Assistant and Windows since most users aren't backing that environment up).
What you did is, in my opinion, easier and faster. But if you don't know what you're doing can lead to data loss. But then, by definition, blowing away your disk and starting over with a restored backup begins with data loss!
