[Windows 7] Free or not, i am really confused!?

Hello,
This week i sended some e-mails to hp with the question: is windows 7 free? the answer: nothing, not even 1 e-mail back.
So i came here, forum's are always beter.
Loads of websites and communities are saying that windows 7 will be free if you bought your notebook between 26 june? and 31 october 2010, i bought mine 1 july, so i was ordering my upgradekit, it said 24,99 euro... naw never mind he...
i thought that i just had to download it, since it's an action to get rid of vista, since it had so many bugs and it just failed?
i really want to know how and where to get the free version.
i am using vista home premium 32bit
HP pavilion DV 7 series
bought: 1july 2009
bought at: Officecentre Zaandam, the netherlands
os language: Dutch
condition: nice
required specs: yes, 4gb ram, Ati radeon HD series, 300gb hd, 2 hds, one 10gb, splitted?
please help me out, i am 16 years old, and i just want the free windows 7
Kind regards
Yoni slot

How much does the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program from HP cost?
There is no charge for the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program from HP; however, shipping, handling, and other fees (including taxes depending on local and state laws) might apply depending on the retailer or reseller where you purchased your eligible computer."

issues in the past, and in one instance, booting the OS install DVD, and running sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows did fix the issue. But I have to ask
to do that while in Windows? Can't I mount some WIM and do it that way instead of booting the DVD?
course of action, or is/are there some other options I should explore?

Hi,
In my opinion, if you want SFC to use a sourcepath to repair your system, you can just use in-place upgrade to do this:

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for this suggestion.
The in-place upgrade is a wonderful potential solution, but the process requires the source media. Most systems these days don't include the OS or recovery CD's because the manufacturers want you to pay for them. And most consumers aren't spending
the $50-$70 dollars to get the media, which complicates things in situations like this. So while they've purchased a machine and have a valid Microsoft COA sticker on the box, they can't do anything.
Also, to make matters worse, I posted this in the wrong forum as this is a Vista Home Premium PC. [My sincere apologies for that. Mods please feel free to move/reclassify] I do have a Vista Home Premium DVD, but its the 32-bit version, not 64-bit,
which is what this system is. So unless I can locate a Visa Home Premium 64-bit DVD, or they upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 (which they probably should do anyway), we're sunk.

Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2) - all client computers offline

The server is Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2). I have had this problem ever since I first installed the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server in the summer of 2013 (before R2 was released). The Windows Server 2012 Essentials server shows offline
for all Devices under Dashboard. (Allow me to add that I just installed another site with Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2, and it was a breeze - all of the computers at the second install site are online.) I have one Windows 8.1 Pro client and the rest
are Windows 7 Pro clients. The problem occurs on ALL client computers.
I have removed computers from Devices in Dashboard on the server, rebooted the server, changed the client computer to a workgroup, rebooted the client computer, and reinstalled the connector software on the client computer. Same result. I
have tried this on a Windows 7 Pro client and a Windows 8.1 Pro client with the same results.
After running the connector on a client computer and waiting for the server to update its Devices status, if I look under Devices on the server Dashboard, the Windows 8.1 client computer will say online but within 24 hours it goes offline again. The
Windows 7 client computers never show online. Both computers stay offline - they NEVER show an online status (referring to the status under Devices in Dashboard).
I should make it clear that the clients can access the server shares with no problem. File synchronization works great. The clients can ping the server and the server can ping the clients. But client backups on the server fail.
One of the most troublesome things about this problem is that it prevents the client computers from being accessed remotely using the website setup by Anywhere Access. I can login to get remote access to the shared files on the server, but
the only computer that says "online" is the server. All of the other computers are "offline".
The server and clients are only using Windows firewall. The clients all use Microsoft Security Essentials for their anti-virus.
I used a troubleshooting tool that tells me that there are problems with port 6602 on the server, but the clients are all fine with port 6602. I know port 6602 is important for using Anywhere Access but I am still trying to find out more details on that.
I have checked all of the firewall settings related to port 6602 on the server, and the firewall settings look like the standard Windows settings for this port. I used netstat to find the PID associated with the port, and I looked up the PID to find the service.
That all looked standard, too.
I have been working on this problem since the summer of 2013!! Does anyone have ANY suggestions?!!
HELP!

Hi,
Just addition, please check if all necessary Windows updates are installed on those
“Offline” client computer.
When connect client computers to the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server by using the Connector software, there
will be LAUNCHPAD on the client computer. Was this LAUNCHPAD grayed out? Please check if can access Shared Folders via this LAUNCHPAD. Meanwhile, please ping the Windows Server 2012 Essentials via IP address and server name when client computers show as
Offline. Any find?
Get Connected in Windows Server Essentials
In addition, please follow the path on Server and client computer:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs. Did you check any relevant Server-side logs and
Client-side Logs if find more clues?

I have hp 430 laptop,how can i re install the windows 7, if i not have original window on my laptop

I have hp 430 laptop,how can i re install the windows 7, if i not have original windows on my laptop. i have oem number,
But i have troubol to finishing installation of window.

Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
If Recovery Partition is corrupted
You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
OR
You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

Windows 8.1 wifi not working after sleep (and other various bugs)

Hello Apple support forum, this is my first post!
Alright, so I just switched to my first mac. MBP Retina late '13. I bought it primarily to run windows, and to also of course use OS10.
My issues in bootcamp however are getting annoying. My Wifi shows up as connected after I resume from sleep, but my mac won't let me disable wifi, enable airplane mode and then re-enable wifi, nothing. The only way to get wifi to work when resuming from sleep is to reboot.
I just set hibernate when close lid on all my power modes, and basically disabled sleep for now. Hibernate works fine for now, but sleep is much faster from resume and also I'm not sure if the machine will wake up from a simple tap on the keyboard or opening of the lid, I think I have to actually boot it all over again anyways.
My other minor but still annoying issue is my titles of windows in windows are showing up as black (screenshot here)
the only other thing I was curious about was the dual-gpu functionality. I know from reading these forums it's probably not possible because of the hardware and software mesh apple created for OSX and their dual-gpu design, how it wouldn't really work in windows. I'm just wondering if anyone ever got this to work in windows maybe on the older retina MBP or older macs, or if anyone is making progress on trying to fix that in windows? I bought this laptop expecting that to work, even the geniuses at the Apple store said it would be possible, I was misled and might have second-gussed buying a 3k machine if it would only get a few more hours battery than my old Vaio. I bought this machine primarily for battery life.
I'm just remembering another tiny tiny issue. When I plug headphones in the headphone jack in windows, it doesn't automatically switch to that audio output, I have to manually do it in audio settings, is this a bug, have I configured something incorrectly, and is there a fix?
One other thing is my dpi settings, I have it set to a larger font and everything because at stock it is SOOO tiny. my question is, is there any way to smooth out text in other apps, my browser and apps like rdio look like crap unless I leave the dpi settings stock, which I basically need a magnifying glass to use (I tried that for a week lol. Not the magnifying glass tho haha)
I know I'm rambling at this point, but in the windows 8.1 camera app, sometimes my camera does this bug where it flips between inverted and normal, extremely quickly, so it looks like there are two of me. I don't know if this was GPU drivers tho, because just reinstalled those this morning and it seems to be ok so far.
also, the keyboard. I miss my context menu key, what do I need two command keys for? A right alt button, I'd rather have that be the other control button. Any way to remap these easily? what about switching Fn with control on the left, I prefer my windows button in the exact corner.
last question tho, I saw people overclocking gpu's on their retinas from last year, can you do this on the new retinas, and can you overclock the cpu as well as the gpu?
I do have to say this in the end, I am a little dissapointed with apple, I was told thst my mac would run windows like a native windows machine. I know windows 8.1 is not supported, but coming from PC's for years, and being a PC technician, I also go to school for computer engineering, I expected everything to "just work" as steve jobs once said. Well, it doesn't just work. I even had these issues in windows 8, which is supported.
Installing windows 8 was a nightmare. I had to use the forums, try for weeks to get windows 8 to finally instll the proper (uefi) way, and to get everything usable, I had to reinstall my os's twice.
Apple, if you are going to advertise a mac that can run windows "seamlessly", you need to get these major issues fixed, support all new versions of windows before they are even release, and release proper hardware drivers and support software before new hardware is released. All other Windows OEMS are pretty much required to do this to stay in business. I don't dislike OSX, I just use windows for everything I can't use Mac for, so please fix this. You're better than this, you should put a higher standard on this. otherwise, don't advertise macs that can run windows.
Thanks guys, sorry for the information overload. BTW, MBP Retina 15" 16GB RAM 512 SSD, 2.6 haswell, pretty much the max specs other than the SSD.

I have stated every issue I’ve had so far in a fairly clear and concise way. I think if you read what I wrote, it all makes logical sense as to what is going on. Windows 7/8 would work just as well on a Mac if it was supported the same way the OS is for other OEMs.
As I stated earlier in the post, I’m having these same issues in windows 8, not just 8.1, which is the reason for the post. I know the difference between supported by drivers and not supported by the manufacturer. The fact that when Haswell mbp’s came out and no revision to bootcamp for the new hardware was released to fix issues with installing windows on the new hardware shows Apple clearly Is not supporting bootcamp as strongly as they advertise.
I am being realistic on Apple having drivers early. Anyone with an MSDN subscription can download the RELEASE version of windows months ahead of the actual release, I’m 100% sure if any average consumer can do that by paying $100 and saying they are a developer, apple can do it just as easily.
You aren’t much help, you haven’t answered really anything to my post, nor have you contributed any knowledge that wasn’t clearly posted above, so don’t say anything if you don’t have anything to contribute.
By the way, my rant is directed at apple, as you can see because I am saying “Apple, if you are going to…” because this is an Apple forum on Apple’s website. It is not directed to end users, clearly.

Windows 8.1 Pro not booting after install of Hyper V - ASUS z87 + intel 4670K

Hi,
I am running windows 8.1 pro on a intel 4670K 4th Gen Haswell CPU and ASUS z87 plus motherboard. 16gb of kingston hyperx ddr1600 memory.
I have enabled virtualisation technology in the bios. CPU has SLAT.... or Extended Page Table, as intel likes to refer to it.
When I install HyperV platform and management tools the computer configures and reboots
AFter reboot it brings up the blue window image and spinning circle of dots for a while then reboots. It does the same thing again and then reboots and goings into repair mode and asks me to do a system restore. It then restores to before they HyperV install.
I've tried turning off xHCI mode (i.e USB 3.0) in the bios as this seemed to be a known issue with some gigabyte boards. This did not rectify the issue
Updated to latest asus mainboard bios 1405. Same issue still occurs upon install of hyper V.
Automatic repair does not work and I have to restore from system restore point.
I performed a clean boot after installing the feature and it still couldnt boot to windows.. it just sits at windows logo and then restarts a few times and then launches the startup repair. Once the startup repair begins, the only way I can get into windows
is restoring to a system restore point from before the hyperv feature install.
Please see the following logs which may have further information:

Windows 8.1 DVD not working

Microsoft removed the ability to play DVD's in Windows Media Player in Windows
8. You can download the free VLC
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html player or spend some money to
enable the Feature Pack which will enable playback in Windows Media CENTER but
not Windows Media PLAYER.
Windows 8.1 pro has Media Center/ Windows 8.1 does not and Microsoft req an upgrade to the pro. I found that the file above allows me to watch DVDs. I have attempted to ts with HP, my harddrive and DVD have been replaced and I was still not able to watch or burn Any DVD or CD put in drive was rebooting my PC... I dl VLC and now I can play DVD, still not able to burn. Just thought the above info would be helpful to your tech you now have. Years ago Hp use to have a very good support center.

What HP system SKU did you purchase? There are patches to get back these features if you have switched your HDD out.

166Gb of free space not showing in Finder

Hi, my Mac started saying I need to free up space on my Startup Disk. I was suprised, but as I've been doing some film work, I just thought it must take up even more space than I thought. Anway, I free'd up loads of spaced, I moved all my film files to an external disk, deleted them from where they were, and emptied the trash. I've got rid of other things like Internet cache and downloads, basically, I know i have space now. However, my Mac insists on saying I only have about 2Gb free. On another site, someone recommended something called Disk Inventory X, which gives a visual picture of what files etc are taking up space on the Mac. I ran this, and low and behold I have 166Gb free. The screen shot below shows the big blue square of free space. If you can zoom in, it shows this as something outside of the home 'Tiger' thing, under Users - .tiger, as though its partitioned or something?! I don't really understand how Mac's work under the hood of pretty buttons etc, so I'm a bit stuck now.
Can anyone please tell me why my Mac can't see or let me use all this free space?
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. It is a 13" mid 2009 MacBook Pro 5.5, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4Gb 1067 MHz DDR3 if that's of any help.
Many thanks in advance.

With regard to corruption at the HD level, it is unlikely but possible - I would run Disk Utility's "Verify Disk" if you haven't already done so.
'It' is the Home folder in Finder
Yes, as I mentioned in my earlier post, it is "normal" (and not meaningful) for a FileVault Home to show an apparent capacity that is twice the capacity of the HD itself. The "Used" space reported there is likewise meaningless - that's why I earlier suggested a different method for determining the total size of your user files. However the reported "available" space is apparently accurate, and at least in my test setup is the same number that you will see for "available" if you Get Info on Macintosh HD.
I have 177Gb of User stuff, this also includes my Applications
So as not to compare apples and oranges, "user stuff" generally refers only to those items within the home folder. Some people have a second Applications folder within the home folder, but if you are instead referring to applications in the standard Applications folder (HD>Applications) then that space is generally not counted as "user files." It makes a difference when you are trying to see if the numbers "add up", as is the case here. In your first screenshot, Disk Inventory X reported 94.5GB in HD>Library, 23.3GB in HD>Applications. and about 13GB in other places, for a total of 131GB, which after the 7% correction to decimal GB, is about 140GB. If you have 177GB of stuff within your home folder using the method I suggested earlier, then that would completely fill your 320GB HD. If you had counted the entire main Applications folder as part of your "user stuff" then you would be expected to have about 25GB free - still not a lot on a 320GB HD.
With regard to just wiping the HD and re-installing the OS, yes you can then drag back your user data, but apps can be problematic. Apps that were originally installed by dragging them directly from a downloaded .dmg or apps that were bought in the App store can usually just be copied back into /Applications, but apps that were originally installed via an installer package often have support files that were installed in other places as well, and such apps usually have to be re-installed from scratch. The Libraries generally contain important information as well (Mail, Keychains, and Bookmarks as well as application support files and preference files). You would also have to re-do network settings, etc.
I asked whether you had a large (>750GB) empty partition of external storage still available, because I think that would be your best bet for recovering everything intact. If you have such a large external partition formatted for the Mac, I would try the following:
Create a new admin account, log out of the FileVault account, and log into the new account. From there, run Carbon Copy Cloner to clone Macintosh HD onto the large external drive. Reboot from that external drive, and log into the FileVault account there. Now everything should be as before, except for one important difference - you should now have enough free space to turn off FileVault! If this works you could eventually clone back to the internal HD, presumably after pruning back some of your stuff if necessary.
FileVault, as you have seen, can cause lots of issues. I have never used it except for testing and tinkering. It was completely re-done for Lion, and Lion's FileVault is reportedly is a big improvement, but I haven't used it there myself.

Windows Media Player does not play Streaming me

After installing All the Software for Audigy 2ZS Platinum. My Windows Media Player will not play any video streams from MSN or Yahoo. Is there any known conflict with any of the software or how can I make the software compatible with WMP v0 windows XP.

Hi,
Try the following to force Windows Media Player to re-build the Library Database.
A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
This is a zipped file. If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
Make sure Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre are closed.
Launch Free Commander, double click Users, double click 'your user name', double click Local Settings, double click Application Data, double click Microsoft and double click Media Player. Delete all the files that have the extension .wmdb - do not delete any folders.
Close Free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now begin to re-build the library database which may take a while, but when it has finished see if the movie files play Ok now.

Hi, HanaDabbas, and welcome to the Community,
Calls between Skype users are always free of any charge; if your calls require credit (or ask for a subscription), this means you are placing calls to fixed or land lines or mobile numbers, which require credit or a subscription to pay for the call charges.
You do not need to "change" your account; simply add those to whom you wish to call to your Skype contacts list. They will need to create their own Skype accounts in order to do this.

One way to get an older version is to go to the download page at Adobe Reader Install for all versions, Choose "Do you have a different language or operating system?", Select Windows Vista and English. That will give you the option to download X.

Encrypted Windows Word Document will not open with Word for Macintosh

I cannot open a password protected/encrypted word document which was created by Word 2007/2010 for Windows even though I have the password. I have searched the internet and there does seem to be an issue whereby Macintosh Word does not support some of the latest encryption from Word for Windows. Does anyone know of any software that can help either Macintosh compatible or any open source/free software for Windows which can help. I have tried several open source word processors (both on Mac OS and Windows) but these do not help so is there a solution other than having to buy Word 2007 or 2010 for Windows?

Is new Macbook dvd region free or not?

Want to buy one, but concern the dvd reigon lock.

Re: Is new Macbook dvd region free or not?
NO it is not region free.
However I have flashed my drive to be region free (RPC1).
It depends which model of drive shipped with your macbook has got region free firmware out there.
you can get region free (RPC1) firmware for lots of drives from the dangerous brothers
http://tdb.rpc1.org/
I had to run windows xp using bootcamp on my macbook in order to flash the DVD drive.
Please beaware that flashing your drive will invalidate its warrantly and you should only follow a flash procedure if you can afford to replace the drive should something go wrong. That being said I have been flashing dvd drives since 1999 and have never broken a drive.

[Windows 7] Free or not, i am really confused!?
