Windows 7 has a utility program that pops up when you stick a CD or DVD into your drives. It asks you what to do. Mine was Roxio that came with it and I stayed with that. Allows me to edit both my own movies and music too.
It is very simple to follow the instructions click by click.
Ask a techie type friend to help find the program on your computer. Should be in the ALL PROGRAMS when you click the left corner Windows icon. Some are just for CDS.
Understand, there is the finishing point to any program so that you can either open it back up in a computer OR to DVD/CD player. You can copy with WINDOWS version that stays computer ability only. Learned the hard way!
If you want, you can go to the place you bought your computer at, if you have Window 7, you are not more than a few years old. Their tech people can 'advise' you without bringing the computer in, which can be a charge at that point. I find I can ask 'GEEK SQUAD' anything when I shop Best Buy. Don't have to buy it there. But it might bring you back into their shop if they help you...and customer service is important in selling a name brand store.
No. You have to have a windows install disk (you can buy a copy for $100-$200 on amazon) or a recovery disk if it came with your pc (if OEM)
The short answer is - no. Windows 7 software is protected by copyright. If you make a copy (even of the disk that came with your own computer) you're breaking the law. Each copy of Windows 7 software is licenced for ONE machine only. The first time you use Windows 7 - it registers with their server, activating the licence key for that copy. If you subsequently install it on a second machine - the Windows server instantly knows the licence key for that copy has ALREADY been activated.
yes
You need to install a new clean copy of Widows 7 to your computer. Clean copies of Windows 7 should have activation keys as well as product keys included in the box. While installing a new copy of Windows 7, please keep in mind that this can format your disk completely and delete all data on your disk. After installing the genuine copy of Windows 7, connect your device to the internet and activate the product with the product key. It will connect to the internet and check if the license is valid. If it is valid, it will show a "Microsoft Genuine Software" on system properties.
No.
Downgrade it, you can use a Windows XP install disk to undo the Windows 7 one.
Are you copying a music cd, a game, documents, boot disk, a windows disk? You have to be more specific!
If you have a legal copy of Windows 7, then it's free for you.
No. You must copy the data somewhere else if you want to keep it.
It must be a Dynamic disk, not Basic.
You validate it over the internet - by connecting to the Microsoft web-site, and entering the licence key provided with your software. If you have a genuine copy, it will register and be validated. If, however, you have a copy of someone else's installation disk, the registration will be rejected, and your copy will be useless !
Windows 7 and Windows XP are operating systems. You cannot format operating systems. But you can format your hard disk or hard drive. You can use Windows XP bootable CD to format HDD, but you will have to use Windows 7 Bootable Installation disk to install OS on your formatted drive.
