[QUOTE="albertaangler, post: 1615939, member: 195298"] I have an old pc laptop with XP. Copied download file to drop box from iMac. Retrieved on pc. Double click and get message 'Upgrade assistant can only be started from W7............' I get a link to a site for help and lo and behold am told by MS to take a flying leap (paraphrasing :) ) 'This device is running an operating system that we don't support ' So because I am running a system they don't support they won't me help load a system I have paid for that they do?? Now, there's terrific customer service. phhhhhhhhht to you MS I have a pirate copy of MS 7. So, will apple Superdrive recognize a pc dvd? If so can I then use that operating system to set up new VM then upgrade to 8. I'm very much between a rock and a , another rock? No idea what to do next. All this just to run Quicken which I have been using long before moving to mac world. I have not been able to find a mac equivalent that I am comfortable moving to. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Have I gotten myself into. btw the virtual machine I had been running is stuck in boot mode with none of the boot option presented doing anything other that returning to the same screen. If there so some obscure way yo solve this then ........ But sure seems like a bit of code has been corrupted. Is going back a few days in time machine even an option???? This is probably really grasping at straws....... [/QUOTE]
