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 you're asked to install .NET 2.0
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor requires .NET Framework 2.0. If your computer
doesn't have it installed, follow these steps. If you're 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 isn't already
running, double-click the Windows 7 Upgrade
Advisor shortcut on your PC's desktop.
2. In the security warning dialog box, click
Yes.
3. Click Start check. The Windows 7 Upgrade
Advisor will scan your PC's 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 PC's hardware, devices, or installed software before upgrading
to Windows 7. Be sure to save your updated report.
Step 2: Moving files
and settings,
and gathering
your 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 don't use Windows Easy Transfer, you'll 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 you're running a 32-bit version of Windows XP, under For Windows
XP, click Download 32-bit. If you're 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 don't 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.
You can see Step 1, 2, 3 with instruction video below:
Step 4: Moving your files and settings back to your computer using windows easy transfer.
Click
the Start button and type to search windows easy transfer and click transfer.
You can see video below:
Step 5: Reinstall your programs and update drivers
After you’ve run Windows
Easy Transfer and your files and settings are back on your computer, you can
reinstall your programs and check for new or updated drivers.
Windows Easy Transfer
provides a report detailing the programs you used in Windows XP that you might
want to reinstall. To reinstall your programs, you'll need to use the
installation discs or setup files that you gathered earlier.
Secondly, Upgrade to Windows 8:
Before upgrading to
Windows 8, we recommend that you run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant. It scans
your current PC to see if it is ready for Windows 8 and then provides a
compatibility report and optional steps for you to buy, download, and install Windows
8.
If your PC is currently running Windows 7, your files, apps,
and settings will easily transfer toWindows 8. If your PC is running Windows XP
or Windows Vista, you'll need to reinstall your apps after you upgrade.
What does Upgrade Assistant do?
There are four main things that Upgrade Assistant does:
1. It scans your
hardware, apps, and connected devices to see if they'll work with Windows 8.
Make sure all the peripheral devices that you need to work with your PC, like
printers and monitors, are connected to your PC and turned on before you run
Upgrade Assistant.
Upgrade Assistant checks your PC hardware to see if it meets
the Windows 8 system requirements to install on your PC, including features of
the processor such as CPU speed, PAE, NX, and SSE2, as well as RAM size and
hard drive capacity. It also checks for compatibility of your currently
installed apps and devices.
2. It provides a
compatibility report. Windows 8 generally works with the same apps and devices
that work with Windows 7, but in some cases, a product might need an update, or
you might need to uninstall and reinstall it after you upgrade. The
compatibility report lists your apps and devices that will work in Windows 8,
those that might not work, and what you can do to get them working again after
you upgrade. If some of your apps and devices aren’t listed, it might be
because we don't have compatibility info for that product yet. For more info on
specific products, check the Windows Compatibility Center, or contact the
product manufacturer.
3. You can save or
print the compatibility report to use later. Unless you choose the option to
"keep nothing" during the upgrade, you'll be able to find the report
on your desktop after the upgrade. For more info, see Get your apps and devices
working in Windows 8.
4. It checks your PC
for support of certain features. Specifically: the Windows Store, snap, secure
boot, and multitouch. If your PC doesn't support one or more of these features
you'll see a warning. You'll still be able to install Windows 8, but specific
features won't be available to you.
It provides the
option to buy, download, and install Windows 8. If your PC is ready to go,
Upgrade Assistant provides a recommendation on which edition to buy, and walks
you through the steps to upgrade.
I recommend you two options:
Buy an upgrade version of Windows 8
Buy a full version of Windows 8
