Guys this is a netbook. Does not have a CD drive...

What you need to do is create a bootable USB thumb drive and install Windows 7 thru that USB.

Here is the detailed info and video on how to do it:

Hi,

First, I suggest that you download and install the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor in your Computer and run the Advisor. Following is the link to download the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1b544e90-7659-4bd9-9e51-2497c146af15&displaylang=en

Once you download and install the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, run the application to determine the compatible version of Windows 7 that your Computer supports.

As per the compatibility report, you can proceed further and use the version of Windows 7 and install the same in your Computer.

Use the compatible version of Windows 7 Bootable Disc and insert it in the CD/DVD Drive and restart the Computer. Once the Computer boots from the CD/DVD Drive, you will prompted about the installation process.

There are two options to choose from during the Windows 7 installation process:



Upgrade. This option replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7, and keeps your files, settings, and programs in place on your computer.



Custom. This option replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7, but doesn't preserve your files, settings, and programs. It's sometimes referred to as a clean installation for that reason.

Following is the link with details to install Windows 7:

Is adobe photoshop elements 3 compatible with windows 7

Hi,

I want to mention that Photoshop Elements 3 is not tested with the Windows 7.

If you have a windows 7 64 bit operating System then it may not even install in it. If you have a 32 bit Operating System then you can try to install it. However it may still not work even on a Windows 7 32 bit Operation System as it was not made and tested for this Operating System.


There is a probability that if you install the Windows XP mode on you Windows 7 operating system then it may work.
Check more about installing Windows XP mode here:

The Windows 7 product installation code is supplied when you purchase the Windows 7 OS software.
If Windows 7 is already installed on your computer, the product installation code is on the Windows label that is attached to your computer.
If you cannot activate the Windows 7 operating system and you get a message that this is NOT a Genuine Windows installation and you have the Windows 7 label then you need to contact Microsoft to as for help to activate your Windows 7 license.

I have want to setup Windows xp and windows 7 together .Meaning when start up computer have : Windows xp Windows 7 I try to setup two windows ,but i setup windows xp lost windows 7 and setup windows 7...

Not sure what you have done so far. You need to divide your hard drive into two sections. Install XP first on to one section. Then use a program to manage your computer start up, the one I use is called Easy BCD this is a free program and works great. Once you cut your hard drive and install XP make a copy of your start up partition. Install the Easy BCD program and make a back up again. Then Install Win 7. Then on the Win7 side install the Easy BDC program and set up the menu choices. I run a 3 way boot with XP and Ubuntu. Hope this helps Fix Ya up.

Can i install windows-xp on my laptop which is currently working on windows-7 and use both of them.

Hi,
Yes you can install windows xp in windows 7.
Windows XP Mode is a virtual PC image of Windows XP Service Pack 3 that could be run on Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate versions. Applications installed into Windows XP Mode could be run in Desktop Mode or Seamless Mode. In Seamless Mode, applications appear to run natively within Windows 7, but they are actually running inside the Windows XP virtual machine. Windows XP Mode might also provide additional integration that traditional Virtual PC images might not be giving. Applications installed on the Windows XP image could be exposed to the Windows 7 Start menu. Applications run in seamless mode is having automatic access to the Windows 7 known folders like Documents, Pictures, Desktop, Music, etc. Also the Cut-and-paste is enabled between native Windows 7 applications and those running in Windows XP Mode. Applications running in Windows XP Mode might also access your Windows 7 network connection and USB devices.

I will recommend that you download and run the free Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It helps find issues with your computer’s hardware, devices that might affect installing Windows 7. Go to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center find direct links to drivers, updates, and downloads.

Cant install windows 7? i put the cd in and go to auto boot but it gives me a code 5 error.

To resolve Windows 7 Error Code 5, all you need to do is start the installer through a different installer. Either find an old Windows XP boot disk and then direct it over to the Windows 7 installation DVD and run Setup.exe. This should kick off the installer normally and allow you to install the operating system.

Hello,

ecommended Windows 7 Installation Method SelectionToshiba provides support for installing Windows 7 on laptops built since 2007. Depending on your model, Toshiba recommends using one of the following software tools as part of the Windows 7 installation process, to support ongoing use of Toshiba provided features and functionality:
  • Toshiba Upgrade Assistant for Windows 7, for upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 on laptops made in 2009
