Upgrade to Windows XP Proceed with installing Windows XP on your system.
I'm preparing to convert an old Win XP machine, but I'm thinking about moving it to Windows Vista and then to Windows 7. Can I upgrade directly to Vista without needing a physical installation media? Also, since I don't have a disk available, how can I proceed in my area?
Yes, it's possible to run Windows 7 without a CD. You can use the built-in installation media or a USB drive with the ISO file. It won't cost anything and avoids the need for a physical disc.
it will reset itself every two hours, a small thing to note—like writing a document and it suddenly stops working, then everything disappears.
This situation has never occurred before, is there a reference you can provide?
It happened on your Windows 7 because you didn’t have the necessary key; it would alert you before it restarted, even when using Home Ed.
Perhaps it's the Home Edition version. I don't recall any comparable problems with 7 Ultimate. It's a good idea to check it within the first couple of hours if something occurs [:]
It seemed to occur only in the "RC" version, likely the one I was using at that time with extra sauce.
