You cant, now,. w10 buy it , and load it.
THIS IS SHOPPING QUESTION.
SO WHY NOT GOOGLE IT FIRST AND CLICK SHOPPING ICON
We can not shop for you, no country told.

MS has the ISO w10 for free
and you can in fact run w10 for free, if not having personal settings allowed.
MS even states that clearly there. run for free.
example , no themes allowed but who cares?
the answer is here, at , amazing microsoft.com
w8 was bust, a flash in the pan and grand dad said.
here it is at MS
the w10 media builder , you boot it and answer silly questions.

SOURCE: Ubuntu Change Root Password

Nelson,

This is the way i do it, maye there's an other way.

Ubuntu has no set password for the root user. The defult root password is your own user password, the password you set for the first user while installing Ubuntu.

These are the steps to change the password -

1.Applicatons > Accessories > Terminal.
2.In the new window that opens write "sudo passwd".
3.the system will ask for the new root password.

SOURCE: Ubuntu AMD 64 Question

Ubuntu for AMD 64 is the same as Ubuntu, only that it is optimized for use with a 64-bit processor, be it AMD or Intel. The upside in using Ubuntu 64 is that you will have increased performance when your ram is 4GB or greater because of the optimized architecture of 64bit. Any lower, you will not notice a difference between the two. The downside if it is that most softwares are made for 32bit, so your favorite app might not run on 64. If you are a newbie, I suggest you get the 32bit Ubuntu instead.

SOURCE: Installing Windows XP

To do a clean xp install, follow these steps: 1. Retrieve a Windows XP install disk (Make sure it is a full install, not simply an upgrade) 2. Place the XP disk into the cd-rom drive and reboot. 3. When prompted to boot to cd, press enter. 4. The XP installation process will begin. 5. When it asks which partition XP should be installed on, select the current partitions and delete them. Then create a new partition as large as your hard disk. 6. Select this partition as the install partition by highlighting it and pressing enter. Do a NTFS format (not a quick format)
Remember, this will wipe your entire hard disk, so backup your essential files to a flash drive, cd, etc.
Alt. way to save files while install XP: 1. Download the SystemRescueCD and burn the iso to a cd. site:http://www.sysresccd.org/ 2. Boot up the computer to the SystemRescue CD. 3. Open GParted. 4. Shrink the Linux partition to the smallest size (Remove the free space) 5. Create a new FAT32 partition the size of the remainder of your harddisk. 6. Save the partition table to disk and restart your computer. 7. Copy all vital files from your current linux partition to the new FAT32 partition. 8. If not all of the files will fit, copy all of the files you can to the FAT32 partition, then delete them off of the linux partition. Boot back to the SysRescueCD and shrink the Linux partition. Then grow the FAT32 partion. Boot back to the Linux partition and repeat. 9. After all of the files are copied, follow the steps above until you reach the delete all partions. Delete all of the partitions except the new FAT32 partition you created. Then follow the rest of the steps.
I hope this helps!

SOURCE: Wireless router not working.

Power cycle the modem/router, which ever it is, or both.

Unplug the power, let it sit for about 30 seconds, plug it back in and wait til all the light stop flashing. Internet light may flicker with activity.

Hi is there any way i can upgrade my windows xp to windows 7 for free

I am sorry. There is no legal way to do it for free.
  • The W7 is end-of-sale product. It is hard to buy.
  • It is security risk if you will install some cracked W7. Modified (cracked) unofficial installation sources include trojans or other malware very often.
  • A Windows 8 is good successor. My experience: The W8 is better than W7. Only some details (Start icon) are missing. I have modified the W8 setting, desktop etc. to be similar to W7 and I have become accustomed to W8. You need not use many strange W8 features if you do not like it. I ignore them all too: Loging-in by MS account, Microsoft Store, Bing search engine, Internet Explorer etc.
What do you prefer? A system for free or a Windows?
  • If you insist on Windows, you must pay.
  • If you need good system for free, use a Linux. The Ubuntu is very good option. It is working on all my PC's for years. I install it every time either as a sole system or as a second one. This my answer is written by Firefox running on Ubuntu Linux e.g.
You can follow the links, read about Ubuntu and try it without installation for first time. Requested contributing is not mandatory. Fill $0 or go directly to link: Not now, take me to the download

MSI G31M3-LV2, Bios XD settings

Hello the homepage is here:

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G31M3-L-V2---G31M3-LS-V2.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064

Here is no support for windows 8, and the cpu must support the 64bit
architecture, in order to install the windows operating system.

You must also have, at least 2 gb of ram.

Download the upgrade assistant here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8

To find out.

Good luck

I put ubuntu the computer over heet and now only work the trial of ubuntu. how vista can run again?

If you erased the Windows partition when you installed Ubuntu you will need to re-insert your Windows Vista disc and reinstall Windows over Ubuntu using that, This will only work if you have enough keys remaining on your Windows Vista License, however. Hope this helps.

I NEED TO FIND A WEBSITE THAT WILL LET ME BURN THE DRIVERS FOR AN OLD WINDOWS 95 LAPTOP SO THAT I CAN USE THE NEXXTECH USB MEMORY STICK ANY IDEAS WHERE I CAN FIND THE DRIVERS REMEMBER ONLY WINDOW 95...

Please, for the sake of the internet. Upgrade you operating system. There is no reason for running such an out dated and insecure operating system. If your hardware is extremely old, you can try one of many distributions of Linux free of charge.Many of these distributions have been designed specifically for use on old hardware.
You can try Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
Or Xubuntu if Ubuntu if Ubuntu runs too slow: http://www.xubuntu.org/get#maverick

My 900 HD have the license Window XP home edition but d running UBUNTU when it's booted up . How do I get windows to run and not UBUNTU.

Hello scot70, it seems you now have a "Duo Booting System," Ubuntu, and Windows XP.
What happened is that since the "Ubuntu is the "Last" Operating System installed on the Computer," it will be the OS that will "Load" [1st]!
All you have to do is 'change the "Boot Sequence," I could explain how to 'change it permanently, but I will give you the {short version}.
Once you "Restart the Computer," and it Boot-up; there should be a "Prompt Message;"
this 'message' should appear in the "Window of the Boot Options" everytime you restart the Computer from now on!
So, next time "Choose the OS that you want to "Boot-up [1st]. That would be the "Window XP."
I hope this information is helpful? Thanks for using FixYa, paul7of9"

I have been given a acer veriton 5100 it has a program called ubuntu it does not have windows program and will not auto run disks that i insert can you give advise

"Ubuntu" is a Linux operating system, not a Windows operating system. It will not run any windows programs or autoplay any windows CD's unless you have an "emulator" or hypervisor installed, which is not by default. Here is a link to the Ubuntu website that you can browse to find out more information on that Operating System - http://www.ubuntu.org  There you can research the running of a Windows emulator called "WINE" (much to detailed to get into here). Or you can purchase a 3rd party hypervisor, such as VMware Workstation, that will run a virtualized copy of a Windows operating system (such as XP) inside Ubuntu.
Long story short - you cannot use your Windows disks in this laptop with Ubuntu operating system installed without a add-on emulator or program.
Good luck!
