I want to do a fresh install of windows 7 on an SSD for a new pc i'm building. I've been using an asus laptop that came with an OEM windows 7 without any physical disks but with the product key on the bottom of the laptop. Is it possible for me to reuse that key somehow via phone activation or another method for a fresh install on another computer?

I read various posts on different area's regarding chipset installation and drivers.Some info : motherboard is Microstar p45 platinum gamer series.it comes with 2 sets of cd's #1 for win xp intel chipset drivers&utilities disk.#2 chipset disk for vista.question #1 does windows 7 64bit (pro) contain the sata drivers and all the utilities for install ? or do i need to utilize the preinstall of the f6 and make a install floppy? msi has a section for downloads I have searched for the uptodate drivers listed in the arcive section where my board is now listed. am a bit confused as to how i am going to install win 7 on this system .I may go with a xp/7 duel boot .I want to add raid 5 after 7 install and i know xp could not see anything beyond raid 0 or 1.ooking for some advice before i start the process.I hope the thread title is better this time.if the install sequence works the way i want it to go ; perhaps i can create a tuit.

This system is so sluggish it either has multiple infections or is just overloaded given its puny 512 MB of RAM, so I can't really use the system specs utility at the moment.Since I'm working on a similar clean install for an ACER notebook which is Win7HP 32-bit, what are the chances that the .iso file I'm burning to DVD can also be used for this much older technology. I have no problem upgrading the RAM to its max, unless it's already at its max?

There are no newer versions of this software.

View 16 Replies View RelatedThere are a number of games that MS issued back about 15-20 years ago that I have enjoyed playing even with Vista. However these games are incompatible with Windows 7 64 bit. Does anyone know how I can get these games to run on Win 7 64 bit. Its a shame if I can't since I have enjoyed them all these years. The games initially were issued as WEP 1, 2 and 3 and are as follows:
Blackjet, Winmine (the older minesweeper game), Cruel, Golf (not the golf game), Tetris, Fugigolf, Jezzball, Maxwell, Rodent and Tutstomb.
I would hope Microsoft would reissue these games in their original form but compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. They are not sophisticated, but they are very enjoyable.
i have this older emachines PC i just picked up,, It has windows vista on it (yuk) along with a recovery partition to reset it back to factory specs. I shrank the C: drive and split the drive so i now have:
C: W7U
D: Vista
E: Emachines Recovery
Or well thats how im trying to get it set up BUT everytime i install Windows 7 the machine thinks it needs to be recovered and boots into system recovery options.
My HP computer, which had been originally a Windows XP, has been upgraded with Windows 7 as its new OS. Everything works fine except for one problem: the video card. I believe my card is of the NVIDIA GeForce 7900 series, and it is a couple years old, about 2008. It can't be detected by Windows 7, and I've tried downloading drivers too, to no avail. I'd just get a message saying the system is not compatible. I'm pretty much assuming here that the card is too old to work with Windows 7.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I uninstall windows live essentials 2011 and install windows live essentials 2009, will the 2009 windows live mail automatically have all my emails in place without having to import them from my backup? My .eml files are in C:UsersMeAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Live Mail, so I assume any version of live mail will associate itself with that automatically and the emails will show up? The only reason I'm doing this is because I hate the new live messenger, (which I uninstalled) and tried to install the 2009 version. But it won't let me install older versions until I uninstall live essentials 2011. And that means all other live apps get uninstalled, including email of course.

I know there used to be away to retrieve the OS of the OEM CD and install it without the OEM apps/drivers/junk software.On my 2 recovery DVD, there are some WIM files starting with Base.dat thru Base5.wmi files.Can I just copy/burn those files onto a dvd and install it or is it more complex nowadays?

I can get a fairly decent price on A site for an older version of Windows 7 Ultimate so is the smarter choice to purchase the newer though more costly versions, or the older versions at the cheaper price. ( at least 75 dollars up to 100 dollars USD difference in prices)?

View 0 Replies View Relatedif I misunderstand XP mode. It would seem the case for buying windows 7 with XP is to support older hardware and software that is not yet compatible.
However, you have to have a bios and cpu which support virtualization which are only the new hardware/cpu's.
XP mode would be most suitable for older hardware running XP machines.
What am I missing or don't understand?
