When you select the Display Properties Appearance tab-which the Figure shows-you'll see two Windows XP style options listed.

Copy the energybliss.jpg file into the \royale\wallpaper subfolder.Copy the shellstyle.dll file into each of the \shell subfolders (royale\shell\homestead, royale\shell\metallic, royale\shell\normalcolor, royale\shell\royale).Copy the royale.msstyles file into the \royale subfolder.Copy the royale.theme file that you extracted into the main C:\windows\resource\themes folder.Create the following folders under the C:\windows\resources\themes folder:.Open the downloaded windowsxp-tabletpc-energybluetheme-x86-enu.exe file in WinZip (or another program that can extract files from a packaged executable) and extract its content to a local folder-for example, C:\temp\bliss.You can install the theme on a regular XP system by performing this workaround: The theme, which is known as Energy Blue or Royale, is included in XP MCE 2005 and can be installed on an XP Tablet PC 2005 system. Microsoft has created a new theme for the latest XP MCE and XP Tablet PC versions, which you can download at. If you want an older operating system such as W7, you will need to get it on the secondary market on sites such as Amazon or eBay.īe very cautious if you go that route to get a genuine sealed version with a product key.A. But remember what I have already written.I highly doubt W10 will work right on that old PC. You should be able to get W10 from any office supply store, Best Buy etc. Microsoft only sells W10 to the public nowadays. You would be better off buying a refurbished PC for that kind of money, that comes with W7 or newer, that would be newer and better than what you are using now.

There will be no driver support for either operating system from HP, so you would have to hope the drivers from the individual hardware component websites work.ĭo you really want to pay over $100 for an operating system for a PC that old with no guarantee it will work? If you want to update the operating system, I doubt it would work very well on W10. If there's anything else you need or wish to be a "CPU" you can come back Hope this enlightens behooves as well as works for you unfortunately your printer will either lose all its "bells & whisles" or not at all due it's affinity toward XP you'll have to shell out some of your shekels for a new printerI learned that all too painfully when I had a Desk Jet 6540 which was the 2nd fastest printer I owned at the time once I got my present Pavilion 410y with Windows 7 I gave it to my besty for her daughter because they were still using Windows XP the main reason why I'm endorsing Windows 10 is because unless you can get an update of Windows 8 & 8.1 it'll not be supported by Microsoft after today leaving your computer as naked as Adam & Eve in The Garden of Eden woe unto thee if you're in that positionĤ. follow the prompts your eyeballs pickup on your monitor then pick "custom" among the installation options continue to observe what you see until its finally installedģ. because I only had USB 1.1 that you might haveĢb. once you acquire a Win 10 stick & have a USB port(preferably a USB 2.0) otherwise you may as well be "Rip Van Winkle' because you'll think it took that long to install(I remember a backup of my 2001 era Pavilion 7965 12.75 hrs.

consult either your specificaton document to your PC or the motherboard to find out the maxiumum amount of memory that it can be installed because while Windows 10 can install with a mere 1GB of RAM it'll go slower than "Slow Poke Rodríguez in winter trying to flee from "Sylvester The Cat" or either a slug or sloth if you add more memory it'll do betterĢ. Hi RSallee Welcome to your forum!: Your desktop will be the the ultimate challenge due to the age of the componentry as well as a OS that's 5.5 generations old but according my Wiindows 10 in depth book it can be doneġ.
