No issues at all with VS Scott Hanselman. What was the processor speed on your relative's computer? Granted, I did install 32bit Win7. But 32bit XP worked much faster.
Patrick Veverka. Did something happen to your last sentence? I don't mean to be nit-picky, but I was just curious how you ended that thought. Back when Vista was released we got a box of Vista promo material that had an easy transfer cable. Anyhow, it would have been cool if they had an option to turn your existing XP install into a. I am glad you wrote this post. I won't be switching soon exactly, but it's intriuging to see that it's not going to be a complete nightmare.
Josh Stodola. Very nice. I too wrote a post regarding migerating to Win7 from XP. Is it possible to transfer program installations? I have a Dell Latitude D - not a dual-core. Wondering how it would perform Sahir Siddiqui. It's an old Dell Dimension It's a shame it still can't do Application transfer too. It's one of the things still missing from the Windows competitive tick-sheet. Well, I have been known in some circles as "crazy" because my computer is something that started up as a DOS3.
So I am glad this upgrade to Win7 is possible without major issues. This doesn't migrate non-OS apps though, does it? Microsoft Office? Visual Studio? If a reinstall of apps is needed, I wouldn't consider it an upgrade - just a user file migration. I haven't used the process myself yet though, so perhaps I'm mistaken? Brad Kingsley. Thanks for the info: Just out of curiosity, I have an XP machine with a c: and d: drive. The d: drive is my app repository that i want left alone in case i have to format the c: drive.
Is it possible to install win 7 on my c: drive without having to format or mess with the d: drive? Pat Lindley. It doesn't sound like it migrates any apps at all. I do believe there are some 3rd party apps out there to do that though. Hopefully they will be updated to work with Win7 when it hits the shelves. Step 3: Remove memory Use the following steps to remove a memory or continuity module:. From the bottom of the computer, remove the screw holding the RAM cover, and remove the cover.
Step 4: Add a memory module Use the following steps to increase the computer's RAM, install a RAM module in the expansion slot on the bottom of the computer. Handle the RAM module only by its edges. Before installing the memory module, discharge the body's static electricity by touching the metal shielding around the connectors on the rear of the computer. Align the keyed notched edge of the board with the keyed area in the expansion slot. Insert the board into the slot at a degree angle until it is seated.
Windows 98 only: When increasing the computer's memory to more than MB, the computer will not be able to hibernate unless the size of the utility partition on the hard disk is also increased. Step 5: Test the memory Turn on the computer. If the computer does not start properly, go to the next section Troubleshooting memory problems.
The memory test should briefly run when the computer restarts. Restart the computer several times to make sure that the memory works properly.
If the memory count fails to complete, stops before reaching the total amount of memory, or counts more than once in consecutive restarts, troubleshoot the memory problem or replace the new memory module with another memory module. Troubleshooting memory problems Try the following items if the computer cannot start or has memory errors including beeps when the computer first starts: Remove the new memory module and clean the groove in the socket that the module sits in.
Use a can of compressed air with a straw-type extender and safety glasses. Make sure that other cables inside the computer are not partially out of their sockets. Reseat any cables that are dislodged. Replace the new memory module with a different one.
I have the same question 0. Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Anil Kumar B. Hi, Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forums.
I would really appreciate if you can help me with the following information. Method 2 Check if the issue exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in safe mode then we can troubleshoot the issue in clean boot state.
Uncheck as many programs as possible except for your anti-virus to prevent them from running in the background hogging up your RAM.
I found that older XP installations get very slow over time. As stated previously, for extreme deterioration of system speed, back up your data and do a reinstall of XP. This will speed your computer up the most. Of course, once you install your needed programs back you will notice a minor slowdown.
Try to keep your installed applications and tool bars to a minimum. I've been troubled with slow-running PCs for years and I've never found the final solution. But there are several steps you could take.
All of these can be done with freeware or maybe even better with some selected quality software.
