Acer Windows 7 upgrade kit does NOT work!

Hi I have an Acer Aspire 5538 (4 GB of RAM and 220 GB of memory) I'm trying to upgrade to Windows (vista and both are family premium). I read elsewhere on the site that someone had the same problem as me and earasing everything on computer seemed to have worked according to your suggestions (so I did and put everything on my USB). Later, I used the "dics ghost" factory, which deletes the database from the computer to the factory settings. So I'm trying to upgrade and the first CD has worked well "Acer upgrade disc. Now, when I put in the second one it says that my pc is not compatible, and that my pc must be x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). I went into the "system information", and it clearly states "x 86 based PC" until I do?. The second disk named: "Windows 7 upgrade media" does not work!

Even I am confused. Tell you what, download Windows 7 Home Premium. ISO image, burn it to a blank DVD and use your product key to install and activate it.
