5 Things that can go wrong when you upgrade your operating system

Upgrading to new operating system-whether at home or office workstation a personal computer-can be a stressful experience. Are you doing this to take advantage of new features or new applications can run but you can close it scary, because you know, there are always some things that can go wrong. In this article, we will look for some of those potential problems and explains how you can prevent or solve these problems, if occur.

1: Lack of Hardware

Under normal circumstances, the new operating system requires more powerful than their predecessors hardware. System running an older operating system like, you can run a new one very slow or not at all, so be sure to check before you do the upgrade of the hardware requirements. You may need a faster processor, you almost always need more memory. Other components may need to be upgraded. For example, Windows Vista requires the correct video card supports Aero interface.

If you install a new operating system and found inadequate performance, you might be able to make the necessary hardware upgrades. However, if your computer is running the new operating system upgrade to the needs of several components which may be less expensive to buy a new computer. If the system is a laptop, it may be difficult to upgrade the hardware level, it will run the new operating system.

2: Installation errors and freezes

May be the worst case is when the installation process fails, the upgrade on the way.

One possible reason is lack of disk space. According to Microsoft's specifications, Vista Home Premium and will eventually need at least 15 GB of available space 40GB disk. You may be able to use less space to install but you may encounter problems.

This can also be caused by a hardware problem. For example, Vista seems to be a bad RAM module is more sensitive than XP.

3: Driver Issues

Driver issues an operating system upgrade with all kinds of trouble, one of the most common causes. Just because you through the installation process and the operating system is running, it does not mean that things have not gone wrong. You may find that your sound card no longer works, or that you can not print the new operating system. This is usually a driver issue.

The first thing to do is to check for updated drivers for the hardware component vendor's web site. Unfortunately, vendors sometimes do not update their drivers with the new operating system , especially on the old device . Sometimes this is a technical issue, but between us cynics will note that they have a vested interest in forcing you to buy a new card.

4: Activation Error

Nothing more than installing a new operating system may be even worse, and then when you go to activate it, you do not have a genuine tell Windows? Microsoft's most recent operating systems, including Windows XP and Vista, use the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) technology, which requires activation. If you have not activated within 30 days Vista, it will enter a limited functionality mode where you can no more use Aero interface, you'll lose the other advanced features.

5: The application is not compatible

Another common thing goes wrong when upgrading the OS is that you can no longer run some applications. This may be mildly annoying if your favorite games will not work if a mission-critical business application can not run, but it can be a small disaster.

In some cases, you can get an uncooperative application works in compatibility mode. In Windows Vista, navigate to program's executable file and right-click it and select "Properties", then click the "Compatibility" tab. Select Run this program in compatibility mode check box. Then, in the drop-down box, select the operating system that are running. 

If this does not work, another solution is to use virtual machine software such as Virtual PC or VMWare virtual machine running an operating system such as XP,. Installed on a virtual machine is not compatible with the application, you can use them on your Vista desktop a window. Please note that you need to have a license of the old operating system running in a virtual machine.

Of course, another option is to upgrade your application with Vista compatible version.

Worth considering three embedded Android devices

Android Updates

With cheap flash media, energy efficiency and rich ARM processor, and Android's cost is almost zero, a new product has appeared on the market: Embedded Android device availability. The Android phones and tablets is certainly familiar but these devices are versatile, can be adapted to a variety of potential applications, like public internet terminals, digital signage, video player etc.

Sanoxy MK808

MK808 is a very affordable choice, in fact, seems to be quite common: the apparent creator, Sanoxy, lists the device $ 99.99 (U.S. dollars), although it can be a third party in the lower half of the Amazon. As an embedded Android devices go, this seems to be the most common. In connection options to certain restrictions: it has one of the microSDHC slot, a USB 2.0 host, a USB-OTG port (mini), as one might expect, HDMI output. The specification is most reasonable with Rockchip RK3066 dual core ARM CPU clocked at 1.6 GHz, with one of the Mali-400 GPU, 1GB of RAM and 8GB NAND onboard .

MK808 is the current version of Android 4.2.

Pivos XIOS DS

More expensive but more flexible options is one of the XIOS the Pivos, the MSRP 109.99 U.S. Dollars (USD). XIOS Unlike other embedded solutions for Android offers a lot more connectivity. In addition to standard microSDHC slot, HDMI output, it has three USB 2.0 ports, 10 /100 Ethernet port (in addition to the 802.11 B / G / N Wi-Fi) and a pre- supplied remote control infrared port. It has a slightly larger space to accommodate these additional options. In the 3.93" of the 3.93" of the 0.66", which is a little larger than a glue stick form factors other embedded Android devices. Hood is a 800 MHz ARM- Cortex - A9 CPU, a Mali - 400 GPU, 512 MB of DDR2 RAM and 2 GB of NAND.

HardKernel ODROID Asahi

Between the level of industrial and lovers and for those who want to get the board to do fun things with the hardware more open. This is the first sign of promise ODROID case is a polypropylene shell lockdown: no screws, no mess - just pop open.

ODROID Xu Samsung Exynos 5 CPU, which is the first commercially available ARM "big.LITTLE" processors, which contains four core ARM Cortex-A15 is 1.6 GHz, quad-core Cortex-A7 1.2 GHz in a pack. This is an addition to the PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU, 2GB LPDDR3 RAM, 10/100 Ethernet, four USB 2.0 host ports, one USB 3.0 host ports, one USB OTG port Micro HDMI output, memory, microSDHC or the eMMC 4.5. It also has 30 I / O pins, used for various purposes. Notably, 802.11 B / G / N Wi-Fi is only available as a USB module but those apparently there is no real shortage.

ODROID Xu is currently running Android 4.2.2 and Ubuntu 13.04 server console output. ODROID old devices support Ubuntu but is somewhat less hardware optimization and according HardKernel, Linux support is now the main obstacle is the X.Org HDML / LCD driver. Further updates will appear in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Quick Comparison: Raspberry Pi 's

Raspberry Pi is a very neat device and great educational tool, but it is fair to say that it is not in great running Android. PI single-core 700MHz ARM processor and 512 MB of RAM. It is perfectly capable of running the smallest Linux distribution, RISC OS, and even open source BeOS offshoot haiku, but Android might be a little too resource-intensive. The absolute cost Raspberry Pi working in its favor - in the $ 25 or $ 35 (U.S. dollars), according to the model. So, if you're not tied to Android, which is definitely worth a look.

Conclusion
