How do I join a Windows XP computer to a Win7 homegroup?
location:
7forums.com - date:
January 22, 2012
Or how do I just make the XP box know about the Windows 7 box? They're both fed from the same router so should have IP addresses in the same group - but although the Windows 7 PC can see the XP PC, it doesn't work the other way around.
AFAICT the only place (in XP) where I can view other computers is in my XP workgroup. But Windows 7 uses homegroups which don't seem to be quite the same thing. A workgroup seems to have a name but no password whereas a homegroup seems to have a password but no name.
What am I missing here...?

How do I upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8?

Original title : Help upgrading from XP to Win8
I have been told four times now by different Microsoft Support agents (2 online, 2 by phone) that an upgrade path exists between Windows XP and Windows 8 using the downloadable software upgrade. I am beginning to suspect I was misinformed.
I have a new hard drive, a product key/license for Windows 8 (with no installation media, ONLY the downloadable upgrade), and product key/license/installation media for both Win XP and XP x64.
I have installed XP x64 on the hdd. BOTH the WIndows 8 Upgrade, and the Upgrade Assistant fail to run, returning the error "Platform not supported."
Support has told me I need to run Windows Update to make sure I have the latest Servic

I upgraded from my Windows Vista computer to Windows 7 Beta just to see if I liked it but the Windows 7 Beta will expire on August 1. Now I’d like to go back to Windows Vista or even install Windows 7 RC. I’d like to be able to keep all my current

Hello. I just bought an ASUS A53z-NB61. Nothing in the user manual or in control panel gives the answer. Even the specifications page on the ASUS support site is unavailable. The device listed as the hdd (I think) is designated as "ST932032 5a sata disk device." I haven't had any luck finding any specs on that even. Thanks in advance.
