Is it possible to transfer everything from an old computer to a new one so it is like a mirror image? For example if I was using an Acer and wanted it to mirror image everything onto a Dell? Thanks in advance.

Basically, my friend has this really old PC on which he's currently running Windows XP. We've been doing some upgrades, and it now has a 2GHz single-core processor and a decent Radeon 8000 graphics card, but still only 256MB of RAM. This is because it only has 2 memory slots available and the...

I spent a few hours last night attempting to install windows 7 Ultimate on my fairly old (P4, 2GB ram) pc. I had recently bought a 1GB Radeon HD 4650 AGP graphics card. Unfortunately, this card did not play well with Win7, causing a BSOD after the starting up logo. I was able to complete the...

Can you password protect Windows XP at start up? I have Windows 7 setup this way and would like to do the same with an older computer running XP. Thanks in advance

It seems to me that the biggest group of people having problems are trying to use an old computer. Then another group thinks that changing a thing or two like motherboard memory graphics card on an old computer is all that is needed. It seems to me that if the computer was not built for Vista...

Well when I installed Win7, I decided to put it on my old PC, that I didn't really care about... It was built to run XP... Right when I was installing it, my screen went black, and said, no signal found on my moniter (im was currently using the VGA slot on the mother board) So, I put in some...

Well, i have a quite old PC and now I hate using something that isn't 7 or Vista. So i was thinking to install Windows 7 on a Pentium D with 256 RAM. ¿It's going to run? ¿Do you know a lite version out there that can work? Thanks!
