View 3 Replies View RelatedHave a bunch of machines waiting for the pre-order upgrade disks coming Oct 22. Several posts have said that the RTM is the same installer that will be shipped as upgrade. Is it possible to do the upgrades from XP and Vista now without waiting for the activation, then input it when it arrives shortly?
I started to try this last night and wasn't prompted for any key after starting RTM disk from desktop, selecting custom and selecting partition to install. Is this because the Upgrade disks have special code required for reading the XP/Vista activation when asking for Windows 7 upgrade key?
Also if upgrade can be installed to a different partition, then it seems there is a way to get a completely clean install running the installer from the XP/Vista desktop on HDD and installing to another HDD? I am trying to figure out how to get the cleanest possible install here without overwriting if poss.
I've done a lot of Windows 7 upgrades for people and I've noticed that I've never had to enter any kind of key when upgrading a properly activated copy of Vista, I think even during clean installs...
Does it activate automatically or is it just a matter of it waiting a week before yelling at you about it?
when is the optimal time to flash a new bios update. do you do it then reinstall windows? or does windows even need to be installed at all to upgrade a bios?

Even though I select NO it keeps coming up at each boot. Do I really need to have this program installed and/or how do I stop that from coming up each time?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just got my Windows 7 pro 64bit today and before i installed it i searched on the net if there any problem with the p5QL PRO MotherBoard,(Bios Version) anyway
right now my bios version/date 0902, 28/11/2008.
i never updates a bios before i don't want to blow up my motherboard either lol
i looked on support.asus and i found updates, version 1001 or higher 1004
but i don't want to upgrades it if i don't need too , anyones know if i really need to upgrades it to support win 7
cause i saw many thread here talking about win 7 64bit that don't work well with 9800GT
i dunno if the driver are the cause or the motherboard itself,
pinpoint the EXACT how-to on upgrading a windows 7 basic system to ultimate (both x64bit) without losing any of the softwares and any other data on disk.Overview of issue:I've bought a new lenovo Z580 ideapad series laptop which came pre-installed with windows 7 home basic (x64) which I absolutely loathe as it has no aero themes and I'd like to change my windows to ultimate. My laptop came pre installed with some softwares and features for which I wasn't provided any driver/SW CD so the only way to keep these softwares intact is to upgrade (from what I understand, upgrading windows doesn't wipe off your softwares and program files?)What I've already tried:It seems windows basic can't be directly upgraded to ultimate using windows anytime upgrade. I tried and upgrade failed.I have windows 7 ultimate 64bit installation CD and product key, is there any way to upgrade my system using that and not do a clean windows install?If everything fails, is there any safe to use program or method to get setup files of my existing program files so I can reinstall them after clean windows install?

I would like to know which one is better because I have both computer towers but only use the CQ5210f.I am planning on putting in a new graphics card soon and I cant afford a whole new computer or motherboard right now so I have to pick between these to.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to boot windows, after my motherboard splash screen I get a black screen that says Grub Error 17 and am unable to boot windows.
I thought this was kind of weird since I don't use Linux, but I ran SuperGrub Disk to see if it could find any problems. SGDisk gave me this "BOOTMGR is missing". So I tried following this . After pressing any key to confirm booting from a CD I once again got the Grub Error 17 and was unable to boot from the CD.
I have everything backed up, but I don't know what happened to my Windows 7 CD key and any keyfinder programs that I know of require you to run windows.
if anyone knows a way to fix my MBR only being able to boot a minimal amount of CD's, or if anyone knows how to find my Product Key without actually being able to boot windows, I would greatly appreciate the help. I have been able to boot into Ubuntu, and can access all the files on my hard drive if that makes any difference.
Is this OK? Ram is ddr2 800mhz so its not overclocked, only motherboard is d667mhz...

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble with my new Fujitsu laptop. I have an onboard GPU (Intel(R) HD Graphics Family) and a non-onboard NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M GPU. I have Windows 7 Home Premium and the latest drivers for my NVIDIA video card. I also obviously have DirectX 11 installed, since I have Win7.Now, the problem is that although Windows detects both GPUs, it uses the Intel one (this was true both before installing the latest NVIDIA driver and before that).I know it's using the Intel one since: 1. If I go to Control Panel->Display->Change display settings->Advanced settings, the Properties window for the Intel GPU pops up; 2. If I go to Intel(R) Graphics and Media Control Panel, under Options and Support->Information Center, it says "Processor Graphics In Use:Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000"; and 3. Graphics quality/performance is way too low for the NVIDIA GPU.I tried disabling the Intel HD thing in Device Manager, but all that happened was that the screen went blank, so I restarted my computer, booted into Safe Mode (the screen wasn't blank there), re-enabled the Intel, and then restarted Windows into normal mode (and obviously I still had the problem with Windows not using the NVIDIA GPU.Also, if I go into NVIDIA Control Panel (click the system tray icon and click "Customize which programs use the GPU"), under "Manage 3D Settings", if I add a game to the list of "programs to customize" (in the Program Settings tab) and then click Apply, the game still behaves as if it was using the Intel on-board GPU (as in, nothing changes in terms of quality and/or performance, regardless of the graphics settings). Also, in the Program Settings tab, under "2. Select the preferred graphics processor for this program", the selected setting is "Use global setting (Auto-select: NVIDIA GPU)" and it doesn't allow me to change that (the drop-down list is greyed out).
