kcscott85 asked:
I have desktop computer that has a printer plugged into it. The desktop runs Windows XP. I also have a laptop that runs Windows Vista. I have a wireless router connected to the desktop so I can connect my laptop to the internet, but can I wirelessly print things off my laptop? My husband uses the desktop for school and I use the laptop for work and I’d rather not have to keep switching the plugs around.

I need to use a hard drive with windows XP on from an old laptop in a newer laptop. The newer laptop does not recognize the hard drive from the old laptop. How can I get the laptop to recognize the old laptops hard drive?

The hard drive from the newer laptop does not work properly so I want to use the hard drive from an old laptop that already has windows XP installed on it (drivers will not be a problem).
The hard drive does work and should work in the old laptop.

bigro90 asked:
I have recently bought a used laptop that is old. The person I had bought it from had installed windows xp on it, even though it originally came with windows Me. I want to remove the windows xp because it runs slows on the laptop because it takes up more memory than the windows Me would. Also I want to remove windows xp because it is an illegal copy. So when I tried to run updates on it, windows would not install updates because the windows xp is not genuine.

chrissie76 asked:
I have a desktop that is Windows XP connected to a Kodak All in One printer, ESP 5. I have a HP laptop that runs Windows Vista. I have a wireless router from my phone company that I allows me to connect to the internet on both computers. So how can I get my laptop to print to my printer? Or do I need to break down and buy another wireless router?

JOHN L asked:
The laptop is wireless. I have installed the printer on the laptop which clearly shows it. I leave the main computer on then press print on the laptop. It comes up with an error message. The laptop uses Vista, the main computer uses XP. I don’t want to use wires and the printer can’t be connected to the router via an ethernet cable. Is there a way to do what I am trying to do or do Vista and XP clash?

Price limit is not an option. I mainly concern with WiFI, battery life, if it has Microsoft Word, and Windows XP. I wil be creating lesson plans on it and I am not that great with computers. So I want the laptop to be reliable and not complicating to set up. I want a laptop that I can get a lot of good years out of!
