I have created an unattended windows xp install for my computer which is about 4 gb big. I don't have a dvd writer or plan to invest in one.
Is it possible to install windos xp from an existing partition on my hard drive - i.e.: i have all the installation files sitting on a partition...can i install my pc directly from that?
This is rather urgent since i desperately need to reinstal my pc due to windows xp problems with the hal.dll.
The list of Mac devices rumored to get macOS 26 by Hamid Ganji
Apple will announce macOS 26 or macOS Tahoe at its Monday Worldwide Developers Conference. As has been reported multiple times over the past weeks, all Apple operating systems will receive a UI overhaul, a touch of AI, and new names at this year's WWDC.
The logic behind the "26" in the new macOS version is that Apple aims to align its naming schedule with its 2025-2026 release cycle. The same version number will also appear across iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. While skipping multiple software versions raises many questions, it might help maintain consistency in the Apple ecosystem.
With just two days away from the WWDC kick-off, many Mac owners might wonder if the upcoming macOS 26 is compatible with their devices. Here's the rumored list of compatible Mac devices with the macOS 26: MacBook Air (M1 and later)
MacBook Pro (2019 and later)
iMac (2020 and later)
Mac Mini (M1 and later)
Mac Studio (all models)
Mac Pro (2019 and later)
This report comes from MacRumors, which cites a private account on X as the source. However, the interesting thing about this list is that, according to the leaker, Apple might end software support for the MacBook Pro 13-inch (2020 model, two Thunderbolt 3 ports). For now, we should take this claim with a pinch of salt.
The 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch launched with both Intel and Apple Silicon M1 processors. It also comes with two port configurations. Apple is expected to end support for more Intel-based Mac devices this year, and this specific MacBook Pro variant might also be on Apple's kill list.
WWDC 2025 kicks off on June 9, and Apple will unveil the latest version of its operating systems with an overhauled UI and a slew of AI-related features. So far, we know what Apple Watch models might get watchOS 26. Apple will announce the compatibility list of various devices at Monday's event.
