Windows 7 Professional -- Which Version?

I noticed there are many versions of Windows 7 Pro on Newegg. I know I need to get 64 bit, but do I buy the full version or the "OEM for system builders".
Is the version at this link what I want?

SQL Server Express compatibility with Windows 8.1 - Which version(s) are compatible?

We have purchased a new computer that has Win 8.1 Pro. We are migrating an application from a Win 7 Pro machine we are currently successfully using (the vendor migrates it for us) and they have said that the application will require the installation of SQL
Server 2008 Express (which we do have on our Win 7 machine).
In looking at the requirements for SQL Server 2008 Express (on the download page for it), it does not mention it being compatible with Win 8.1
In addition, Installation Instructions says that it requires:
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
Windows Installer 4.5.
Windows PowerShell 1.0
I see that 3.5 is already listed as a program feature of Win8.1 and I've enabled it. Do I need to install SP1? I downloaded it, and launched it, and nothing happened.
I also looked at the Windows Installer 4.5 download page, and it's not clear if that is compatible with 8.1. Do I need to download and install it?
Power Shell 2.0 is already installed. I assume that will be backwards compatible with PowerShell 1.0; is that correct?
I saw another question about SQL Server Express Compatibility with Win 8.1 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/038ec00e-4fc1-41ba-9fdc-21c022aad67e/action?threadDisplayName=sql-server-express-compatibility-with-windows-81) and the response
said that SQL Server Express 2012 will work, but the link contained in the answer led to a page for SQL Server Express 2014.
My vendor has told me that SQL SERver Express 2012 will be backwards compatible with their product. But they said that I would first have to install 2008 first. Is that correct for Win 8.1?
So, the ultimate questions are:
1. What is the link for Sql Server 2012 Express for Win 8.1?
2. Will the SQL Server 2012 Express download require prior install of the 2008 version
3. What other component requirements are required for SQL Server 2012 Express, and how can I determine if they have already been installed. (This is a brand new computer with a clean Win8.1 Install).
4. Finally, can we use the 2014 version of SQL Server Express for Win 8.1? If so, questions 1, 2 and 3 apply, too.
Thanks for your help on this!! HIGH ANXIETY.

Sound distorsion on DV6870ee with windows 7 professional

Hello fellow HP owners and staff,
I have had an HP dv6870ee laptop for a year now, and I've been very pleased with it. I'm a member of the IEEE community and in consequence, we get free software from Microsoft. So I installed Windows 7 professional RTM version on the lappy.
The original OS was windows vista with all the hp goodies that come installed (as a side note I gotta say: HP, YOU DO A TERRIBLE JOB WITH VISTA'S STARTUP PROGRAMS considering the extremely loooong startup time) and everything was really fine. Sound was very clear and hardly distorted. The speakers are Altec Lansing made.
Now when I installed windows 7 the sound from the speakers became very distorted even with audio tracks that didn't distort before. Please note that I'm using 320 kbps tracks ripped straight from original albums. I'm extremely sure that the Realtek Audio manager's settings are exactly the same ones in vista (I don't play with sound enhancements I leave them all off, because those speakers sounded wonderful on vista and didn't need any enhancement).
Has somebody experienced such a problem? And do you know what might be the solution for it?
Thanks in advance !
Ciao

Hi,
Uninstall Your current audio drivers and download them from below:

Device Drivers Not Available in Windows 7 Professional (Student's free operating system)

I've Windows 7 Professional (Student Version from DreamSpark) and am having problem with installation of Drivers for Bluetooth USB Device, It worked before matching / pairing "Samsung DUOS". Can you help me over there?
All it says like this
Other Device
Bluetooth Peripheral Device
Bluetooth Peripheral Device
Bluetooth Peripheral Device
I Was unable to attach image! Sorry for that

At Last I Found Solution:
It was so nice of you all to post your suggestions! But one thing you forgot me to ask is, "Are you using a China's Manufactured USB Bluetooth Device?"
Yes! I'm using a china's manufactured device which is available here for $.070 (Rs. 70) in Pakistan. This for no doubt, comes without a disc of drivers.
Error was only found with "Samsung GTS DUOS" so, I sold that out and bought NOKIA which is working excellent with that adapter.
To some extent, one this is confusing me! The device was working fine / works fine till now without any other error in Windows XP SP3 (Pirated) (Oops I'm using Student Pack by Microsoft Corporation).

Windows XP Professional Install Disc not working properly?

Recently my school offered everyone in my major a free copy of Windows XP Professional, which I was able to download for free from their site. I downloaded the install disc as a .iso file, and burned a copy onto a CD so I could install it on my Mac with Boot Camp. However, when I ran the Boot Camp Assistant and put in the XP Professional CD, it restarted, began loading the disc, and then came to a screen asking me whether I wanted to install Windows, repair Windows, or quit out of the installer. I tried pressing the enter key several times to get it to start installing, but it wasn't accepting any keyboard input. I held down the power button to restart, ran the Boot Camp Assistant again, and did the same thing with my copy of XP Home Edition. It brought up the same screen as before, but now I was able to start the install, without any problems. Is this a problem with the .iso file I downloaded, or is there a compatibility issue with booting from the XP Professional CD?

I have posted a fix on the following thread, I hope that this helps.

Which version of Safari for old old xp on Windows 7 Professional Virtual Machine?

Ok, ready for a challenge?
I've had the "competition" (yes a PC) for two years now.
SONY i5 Laptop V111 model series (more details if you need it) running WIndows 7 Professional Edition.
On the Main Desktop, Windows 7 Professional Edition is running the latest Safari as I prefer it as mostly have Macs but Work (College) runs in a PC mindset.
Now I have this XP Virtual Machine Desktop and have never been able to do much with it.
Finally found out why, it had no interconnection to the Internet, so now it has it through IE 8 (again sorry) but that successful installation today opened up the two year old question that I no longer have the store (Sony Style store closed here) to help me with answers.
Can I get a Safari for the XP Virtual Machine Desktop? It appears to be a 32-Bit version (despite the WIndows 7 Professional being the 64-bit version).
All I see is Safari for Mountain Lion. Maybe as I am not able to search properly from the PC, the Apple pages as I have on my Mac my home page is the Apple store and communities for questions/help. Where is the "older" Safari's hiding out?
Or maybe I don't need such an old version of Safari, as I can't find out which Safari works for my PC as whenever I go in it says my Mac version and I can't hide that since I'm using the Mac to access this Forum!
Please write if you are confused as I am and I'll find whatever information you need.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Cooljoe,
Based on my understanding, local machine control-alt-delete key combination is control-alt-delete.
Virtual PC's control-alt-delete key combination is Right Alt - Delete.
Remote Destop session's control-alt-delete key combination is ctrl + alt +
end.
There should be no conflicts between them.

Mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro Windows 7 Professional 32bit, which Boot Camp Drivers?

Hi,
I've managed to partition my Hard drive, assigning 100GB to the Windows Partition. I've installed Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit SP1 and have managed to install MS Office 2007 (I've not installed any other updates as I can't connect to the internet over wireless yet as I've not installed the drivers).
I've downloaded three sets of of Boot Camp Drivers and have been unable to get any to work. The ones I've downloaded are:
Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033
Boot Camp Support Software 4.1.4586
I now understand that v5 is the wrong version to use, however for both of the "version 4's", it is telling me that they are incompatible with this version of Windows... So I am very confused... I've unzipped the archives and have tried to run the set-up (and even tried the individual drivers)...
Does anyone know where I'm going wrong? I don't know which drivers I should be installing?
Thanks,
Alex

I've managed to solve it! Basically, it all came down to installing the "correct" package. I had foolishly assumed that the highest version number would support all the latest product.... However in the end I had to install this package:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1635
Basically, you need to scroll down to the bottom of the page (I assumed all the pages were the same as they have the same introductions), and open up the "system requirements" tab and check to see if your machine is on that list. Once you've found one with your machine, download and run that. Remember to extract the folder from the zipped archive first. It won't run if it's "still within the archive"...
Cheers,

Best Version of SQL Server to Run on Windows 7 Professional for Large Data Sets

My company will soon be upgrading my work PC from XP to Windows 7 Professional. I am currently running SQL Server 2000 on my PC and use it to load and analyze data large volumes of data. I often need to work with 3GB to 5GB of data, and
have had databases reach 15GB in size. What would be the best version of SQL Server to install on my PC after the upgrade? SQL Server Express just won't cut it. I need more than 2GB of data and the current version of DTS functionality to
load and transform data.
Thanks.

Hi,
Its difficult to say what would be best for you. You can install SQL Server 2012 standard edition because that is supported on Windows 7 SP1, enterprise edition is not supported. SQL Server 2012 express has now database limitation of 10G which does not includes
File stream size and log file size but does not provide SSIS features.
Just have a look at features supported by various editions of SQL Server it will help you in deciding better
I inclination is towards SQL Server 2012 because its now with SP2 and more stable than 2014( my personal opinion)

Access connections 5 version 5.83 and windows 7 Professional 64-bit

This is the first time I use this forum, please excuse me for any mistakes. I have just installed windows 7 professional 64-bit on a thinkpad T410 and downloaded the access connections 5 version 5.83. My access connections profiles have been exported when my laptop was under win XP and have been imported under win7. The problem is that although they do function, both WLAN and LAN type of connections, I cannot have two connections (one LAN and one WLAN) running at the same time, something that it could be done under winXP. One thing that I've noticed in the profiles, that is grayed out now, which I was able to control under winXP but now I can't, is the "disable this wireless radio when switching to a different location" for WLAN profiles and
"disconnect form the network when switching to a different location" for LAN profiles. These two profile parameters helped me achieve simultaneous connections. Why are they grayed out and how can I correct this issue? Regards Marios S.

hey Marios,
could you uninstall both wireless and wired network drivers from your system and then let win7 install its native drivers.
once done see if it happens again. also i recommend removing all network profiles and start fresh.

Attempting to install cs6 extended on my windows 7 professional 32 bit laptop, ive downloaded it but when i go to install it it asks for my serial number which i put in and then it tells me it is a valid number but cannot find a qualifying product on this computer?? What is the problem?

Normally you will be asked to provide the new prdouct serial number first, then when a qualifying version is not found you elect to provide that information and then select the version and provide its serial number. If this is not how things are flowing for you then you should contact Adobe support directly thru chat and get their help resolving it.

Which version of Windows 7?

I'm getting ready to upgrade my system. I'll be purchasing Windows 7 but not sure which version to purchase (Home, Pro, Ultimate)
Here's my current setup:
Win XP
CS4 Master Collection
4GB RAM
250GB hard drive
Core 2 Duo 32-bit CPU
Here's the upgrade I'm going to:
Windows 7
CS4 Master Collection (within 6 months upgrading to CS5 Master)
8GB RAM
1TB hard drive
Core 2 Quad 64-bit CPU
I know I'm not upgrading to the latest/greatest processor but this is where my budget is limited and core 2 quad will work fine for now.
I will buy a full Windows version (not upgrade) and do a clean install on the new hard drive. Which Windows 7 should I purchase?
Thanks for the suggestions!

It will be mostly graphic design & book publishing projects. Also very simple motion graphics projects as well. Forgot to add the MS Ofc products will be there as well.
I was leaning toward getting professional in case I have some apps still wanting to use XP(??).
Thanks for your suggestion.
