Windows Xp Home Hp Oem Iso Download

Over the years however, some of our oringinal discs have gotten scratched. Is there anywhere I could download OEM.iso's? Tuesday, September 11, 2012 2:08 PM. In order to use these images with an OEM Windows XP product key, you would need to install the Windows XP SP3 version without initially typing in the Windows XP OEM product. Windows XP Home Boot Disk Download These are the Windows XP Home Edition boot disk images available from AllBootDisks. Download the diskette image you need, and if you need assistance creating a bootable diskette from this image, visit the how-to page.

Spreadsheet software is important for homes, students and businesses, so we’ve put together a lineup with something for all these arenas. We chose good-quality spreadsheet software, with a solid mix of paid-for and free products. To avoid oversimplifying things, we opted not to include very basic models that don’t provide anything other than a basic grid, and we haven’t included programs that aren’t secure, as spreadsheets often deal with sensitive or important data.

We looked at compatibility, versatility, features and available support to determine which spreadsheets deserved a spot on our lineup. If you need a complete office suite, take a look at our office software guide, where you’ll find a nice mix of free and priced options. On this site you will find articles related to spreadsheets as well as reviews of spreadsheet software.

Best Spreadsheet Software for Businesses

Microsoft Excel is our choice for the best spreadsheet software for businesses because of its versatility and functionality. Businesses need software they can rely on, and Excel fits the bill, helping you stay on track with simple or complex spreadsheets. There is an extensive range of formulas that you can use to make calculations or perform specific functions, and you can filter data according to your business needs.

Windows

This professional-grade software isn’t free, but it is available with a reasonable monthly subscription, and even after several decades, it’s still the most respected office spreadsheet solution. This software works across PC, Mac and mobile devices. With OneDrive, you can share and access your spreadsheets in the cloud from anywhere and work on them collaboratively. The majority of other file formats are compatible with Excel files, so should someone send you a file in another file format, Excel should be able to open it and render the contents correctly.

Microsoft Excel

Excel is part of the Microsoft Office suite and works well in conjunction with the other programs in the bundle. You can purchase Excel as a stand-alone product, as part of a desktop suite or as part of Office 365. It’s most functional and most cost-effective as part of the Microsoft Office desktop suite or as part of Office 365.

Best Spreadsheet Software for Students

Many of these spreadsheet programs would serve schools and students well. However, LibreOffice Calc stands out because it’s free and open source, so there are no licensing restrictions. This means that schools can provide students with copies of the software and install the software across multiple PCs and laptops without significant expense, and without breaching any licensing terms that may be associated with similar software. Choosing a well-rounded free program also means that any student with a computer can access the software, so it puts every student on a level playing field. Additionally, because it’s open source, LibreOffice, including its Calc software, is a great educational tool for students working on digital and programming skills.

This spreadsheet software has plenty of features and is versatile enough to equal its biggest premium-cost rivals. It has an impressive selection of templates and allows students to create their own or import them from third-party sources. Students and teachers can also use extensions or add-ons designed to increase Calc’s versatility as an educational tool.

LibreOffice Calc

Calc is the spreadsheet software included with LibreOffice. It’s a popular choice for academic, home and business users looking for an inexpensive spreadsheet program because it’s open source. The whole office suite it comes in is free and doesn’t have any licensing restrictions.

Best Spreadsheet Software for Home Users

For home users, Google Sheets is our first choice. Part of the Google Apps suite and connected to Google Drive, this spreadsheet software is versatile, free to use and user-friendly. You can easily create to-do lists, schedules and holiday shopping lists, then access them from any computer or mobile device with the Google Drive app. Because it has an array of formulas ready for use, along with a huge number of commonly used templates, this spreadsheet application makes it easy to keep track of home or business finances and to create budgets, calendars, planners, invoices and time sheets.

This is a web-based spreadsheet application, making it easy to access, and you get a generous amount of free cloud storage when you sign up. With its free, easy accessibility and simple usage, Google Sheets is attractive to all kinds of users. It’s easy to share your spreadsheets via email invitation or a link, as well as to set read-only, comment or edit permissions for each person you share with.

Google Sheets

Google Sheets is part of the Google Apps suite. Like the rest of the suite's productivity applications, it has a focus on easy collaboration and a simple, user-friendly interface. While it’s not available as a stand-alone application, you’ll likely find yourself using at least some of the other apps on a regular basis.

Compatibility

Compatibility with Microsoft Excel files is key for any spreadsheet software, simply because so many people use that program to create spreadsheets. Therefore, the spreadsheet software you choose should be able to read and write XLS and XLSX files and render them correctly. Choose software that allows you to easily convert your files into PDF format if you want to ensure your spreadsheets cannot be easily altered without leaving an electronic footprint. Creating PDF files also reduces file sizes and lets you easily add password protection. If you create spreadsheets that you want to publish online, choose a program that lets you easily convert spreadsheets into HTML.

Versatility

How versatile your spreadsheet software should be depends entirely on what you want to use it for. If you’re a student or a professional wanting to impress with your presentation or data collation, you need to be able to integrate graphics and alter the fonts, colors and other aesthetic qualities. If you want simple visual representations of your collected data, you need to be able to easily create charts from your entries.

Consider whether you need remote or mobile access to your spreadsheets. If so, you need an easily shareable or cloud-compatible application. For those who work collaboratively, it’s important to have spreadsheet software that allows simultaneous editing and multi-user functionality. If all you want to do is save, email and print spreadsheets, a desktop-only program will suffice.

Features

The best spreadsheet software programs have extensive formula selections that are easily accessible. Your software should also have a variety of templates on hand for common spreadsheets so you don’t have to lay out budget sheets, calendars and planners from scratch every time. If you’re sharing or collaborating with other people, make sure you can lock or freeze specific columns so others can’t accidentally edit or overwrite them.

Also note how many rows and columns a spreadsheet can accommodate. Some are unlimited, while others restrict you to just 250. If you deal with complex or large quantities of data, choosing a spreadsheet application that features pivot tables makes sense, as they provide an easy way of summarizing data.

Support

Whether you’re an advanced user or a novice, it's invaluable for your software to have a solid support system, including plenty of tutorials, step-by-step instructions and FAQs pages. Having email, phone and forum support at your disposal helps to ensure you don’t get stuck without a solution.

Way OT, but.......
Now and then I need a windows install disc. Maybe for XP pro, maybe for XP home. I just want the standard windows disc, not the stupid one that HP gives (that has been lost anyway). I have the install code, I'm 100% legit, etc.
Is there a place to download an ISO?

I don't.
Maybe if someone does, and they're willing to share... =)
(I would like XP pro and XP home - maybe even SP3 of each)
I'm leary of stuff I might find on rapidshare, for instance.

Definitely way OT, and getting into gray areas.
I am under the impression that, even if someone were to give you an installation CD for the OS you mention, odds are that:
1. Your key code may not work, because each build (more often than a SP release) of the OS is keyed to a range of key codes, and odds of you getting an OS installation CD that match your key code (since you are def using OEM, not retail) is small.
2. Some versions of Windows like to phone home to the mothership for activation (like the one I purchased for the system I built.)
Call HP tech support and ask for a restore CD. In the end, I believe that is what your OEM license permits you to have.
Cheers!

Have you contacted Microsoft? One time, 'My dog ate my disc', they sent me one; that was when they actually had 'live' customer service line. Send them an email, they maybe send you a download link, you never know.

Years ago, suspect of how bulk licenses work, I've downloaded and used 'Jellybean' to find the key of my HP laptop.
Ah ha! the jellybean reported a key that was different than the key printed on the label at the bottom of the laptop. The older I get the less likely I ever bother pissing away time to conclusively figure out how some computer nuance works, so I can't say I know how the brand bulk licensing works.
I suspect it's something like: the key on the bottom is based on the serial number of the computer, and the key Jellybean reports is a derivative of the unique cpu indentifier number. Don't assume this is true (I doubt it is actually), but its got to be something like that because i'm confident no technition is keying in the key for each laptop.
I seriously doubt you can just use either the jellybean reported key or the key on the bottom with the retail version of windows (then again someone might have a trick for you, if you want to drain your eyes googling and reading, who knows).
I'm guessing the best way to solve this is to download an HP(or whatever brand you had) version (cleanest possible), then just take off all the junkware, then get your partitions how you want and backup the whole thing pretty fresh using a program like acronis(sp).
my two cents

we have 4 almost identical HP laptops at work. Each had their respective recovery discs made (have to make them yourself, grrr). Anyway, I found the same thing. _ALL_ of them had the same SN and each had their own (unique) sticker on them. I gotta believe the used SN has a 'bulk authenticate' or something, cause its used all over.
Its just frustrating. One person I'm helping out paid about $30 for a set of discs. She owns the XP, the sticker is on the box, etc. But since some computer tech wiped it for her and reinstalled--they destroyed the 'recovery partition' so that was it.
Grrr.

If you have a mass manufactured computer with a COA (Certificate of Authority) label on it- you can use that key to reinstall that same version (if the COA says XP-Home you can reinstall XP-Home not XP Pro or MCE) of Windows from a Windows OEM CD, not a retail or VLK CD because the retail/VLK CD won't have the required OEM Bios files needed for the OEM preactivation and it will have the PID to accept retail or VLK keys not OEM keys. You can make your own OEM disk even without the OEM Bios files- simply change the PID to accept OEM keys then type the keys in from the COA during the install- I've done that many times for computer repairs wher the customer has never made a rescue/re-install CD or lost their original disc set.
You can easily build your own Windows OEM disk with the proper OEM Bios files so you won't even need to type in the keys (if you have a SLIC in BIOS) during the install:

Dell, HP, ASUS, Lenovo, etc... use their own unique corporate OEM key for each particular version of Windows. In most instances there's only one key for all the computers that manufactures makes.
That OEM key is installed when using the original OEM install disc that came with that computer. In most cases- the BIOS also has a SLIC which verifies the particular manufacturer so a HP OEM key won't work on a Lenovo BIOS.
Here's a typical XP OEM Bios archive: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/thr...EMBIOS-Archive
And here's the XP keys Microsoft now allows you to legitimately use on a OEM re-install: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb457078.aspx

Most of that went over my head. However, thanks for the link. I'll look into it more.
I have used nlite for slipstreaming. I had a computer with XPpro and no discs. I had a disk from a similar system (both Dells of almost the same vintage) and I slipstreamed that with both SP3 as well as changed the installation key. Actually, I think I took the key out to make it a more generic install version.
My hope was to take an OEM XP pro (that I don't have, so I want to download) and slipstream one for a given system with the correct code and SP3 and maybe other service packs.
It sounds like the keys aren't as restrictive as some previous posts seem to indicate?
EDIT: your second post explains why my dell-to-dell disc switcheroo worked.

right.
HP calls it 'tattooing' where the system will only accept an image from one of their recovery discs.

Mmmmmmmmmmm, extortion. =)
I found the discs for one system.
the person bought discs for another system.
i made a disc from a similar computer for the third system.
I'm all set for now, but I'll be looking into all of the above so maybe I'm more prepared next time. An OEM disc should work on any system, as far as I'm concerned. If I don't want their crapware installed, I shouldn't have to install it.
Again, grrrrr.
