How to upgrade to windows 7 or windows 8 from windows XP
Hello everybody !
Today, I am very happy to tell to everybody an important problem about windows xp - the most popular operating system in the world. But that is changing to windows 7 and windows 8. So upgrading to windows 7 and windows 8 is very important.
I will give you the instruction to do this step by step: Firstly, upgrade to windows 7.
Step 1 : Make sure that your programs and devices will work with Windows 7
Download and install Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
Follow the steps below to download the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
1. Go to My project to download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
2. Click Download the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor which is compatible with your computer (32bit or 64bit).
3. Click Download, and then save the installation file to your PC.
4. Double-click the installation file saved to your PC.
If youre asked to install .NET 2.0
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor requires .NET Framework 2.0. If your computer doesnt have it installed, follow these steps. If youre not asked to install .NET 2.0, you can skip this and proceed to step 5.
1. Click Yes.
2. Click Next.
3. If you agree to the license terms, click Install.
4. Click Finish.
5. If you agree to the license terms, click Install.
6. Click Close.
If you see a pre-selected check box, clicking Close will run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
Run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
1. If Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor isnt already running, double-click the Windows 7 Upgrade
Advisor shortcut on your PCs desktop.
2. In the security warning dialog box, click Yes.
3. Click Start check. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor will scan your PCs hardware, devices, and installed software. This might take a few minutes. When finished, it will provide you with a compatibility report that you can print or save for your reference.
4. Read the report carefully, and make note of any issues that the Upgrade Advisor finds and what the recommended steps are to fix these issues.
5. If you want to save the report and print or refer to it later, click Save Report, type a name in the File Name box, and then click Save.
6. Click Close.
You can scan your PC more than once. We recommend running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor again after taking any of the recommended steps or making any changes to your PCs hardware, devices, or installed software before upgrading to Windows 7. Be sure to save your updated report.
Step 2: Moving files and settings, and gatheringyour program discs
I think you should use Windows Easy Transfer, a free download, to help you move your files and settings to another location before you install Windows 7. Then, you can use Windows Easy Transfer again to move your files and settings back to your PC after Windows installation is completed.
If you dont use Windows Easy Transfer, youll need to copy your files manually to an external location, such as CDs, DVDs, an external hard disk, or a USB flash drive before installing Windows 7, and then move them back after Windows installation is completed.
Download and install Windows Easy Transfer
1. Download Windows Easy Transfer from the My project. If youre running a 32-bit version of Windows XP, under For Windows XP, click Download 32-bit. If youre running a 64-bit version of Windows XP, click Download 64-bit.
2. On the Microsoft Download Center webpage, click Download, and then click Run.
3. In the Security Warning dialog box, click Run.
4. In the Software Update Installation Wizard, click Next.
5. If you agree to the license terms, select I Agree, and then click Next.
6. After installation is complete, click Finish.
Open and run Windows Easy Transfer to save your files and settings
1. Make sure your external hard disk or other storage device is connected to your computer.
2. Click Start, click All Programs, and then click Windows Easy Transfer for Windows 7.
3. Click Next.
4. Select An external hard disk or USB flash drive.
5. Click This is my old computer, and then wait while Windows Easy Transfer scans the computer.
6. Clear the check boxes next to any user accounts that you dont want to transfer data from, and then click Next.
7. Enter and retype a password, and then write it down and keep it in a safe place; or leave the boxes blank, and then click Save.
8. Browse to the external hard disk or other storage device where you want to save your Easy
Transfer file, and then click Save.
Step 3: Install Windows 7 directly on windows xp partition (C partition) with Custom option.
