activation of Vista to win 7 pro

I got a laptop for my daughter and she didn't want XP. She loved the vista because it's what they were at the school. So, I took the vista ultimate that I already had and installed on the laptop. now three months later he told me that it is bad and the key code is already used. so I went and bought windows 7 pro to install but I can't get around how it is locked in the activation of windows vista. Download Windows 7 pro told me to get out and start with vista but I can get there and if I start it in safe mode it says that it does not support. is the only thing that I can do a custom installation?

, I'm guessing an OEM license. Windows Vista Ultimate OEM software. Windows 7 is pro for OEM software. When I reset the bios to boot from the disk, it did but when I got to the part of saving files and do the upgrade instead of the complete (where I lose all my files) it tells me to resart my computer and go through the operating system on the computer already.

I have to take this windows 7 back and get something else?

I'm trying to go through internet and MS web site and down load a new key, but it takes forever and constantly lose connection or patients because it is so slow. What to do on another computer?

I'm guessing an OEM license. Windows Vista Ultimate OEM software

If it is OEM you can not transfer it to another machine.

These are the information about this:

If the laptop/computer came with preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

_______________________________________

You can't do an upgrade with the OEM software; It must do a clean install.

And even if it is a retail license, there is no way to upgrade from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Pro.

It must be done with a clean boot from the Windows 7 DVD installation.

Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

You will get a new product key for Microsoft as Microsoft sells more than Vista or Windows 7.

    No, you cannot transfer because they are OEM licenses.

    Windows 7/Vista OEM versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  • Win 7 Pro cannot install the upgrade of Vista 64

    I bought Windows 7 Pro on the Microsoft.com site my Dell Studio 540 had Vista 64 when buying back about 4 years ago. I also bought the dics of Microsoft backup at the same time. The Win 7 Pro disc has the number 6/11 X 15-60651-03. I bought the UPGRADE, so I wouldn't have to start over with a new facility. What should I do to perform the UPGRADE?

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • can I switch from win xp pro sp3 Windows XP Professional x 64

    I have an old computer Pentium (32 bit system) (2001) with max memory 2 GB and I wish to Exchange my c: drive to a new 64-bit computer that has the capacity of up to 16 GB of memory.  I am currently using win xp pro sp3 and I don't want to move to Vista or 7 because I'm very comfortable with win xp pro screens.  I'm assuming that win xp Pro x 64 edition is similar for win xp pro in that regard.  Current box has four scsi drives, 2 CD/DVD, 4 pci for creating music cards readers, card Radeon video (2 screens), 2.2 GHz Intel Pentium CPU, 2 GB memory Rambus.  I'm go to Gigabyte GA45T-ES3G-ATX, CPU 3.0 Ghz 775, 16 GB memory Kingston Hyper X, videocard PNY 450NVS Quadro (4 screens), 2 SSD drives (100(c drive)/500 GB).  I opted for the Gigabyte motherboard because it has a pcie x 16 video card and 5 pci slots.  I use software Cakewalk mainly which has a capacity of 64-bit and some of my cards have drivers 64-bit available.  Other software will be able to run in 32-bit mode (x 86).

    My plan is to clone the c: drive current, load it on the new ssd drive and upgrade to Win xp Pro x 64 load if possible.

    Andrea

    First and most importantly, there is no way to upgrade from XP 32 bit to 64 bit, you must perform a "clean installation" of the 64-bit version and then reinstall your applications. Don't forget to back up your data files.

    Secondly because the card mother old and new are very different (device drivers and chipset), it is unlikely that, after cloning your hard drive to an SSD, the computer would even start.

    I'd rather you 32-bit version of Windows XP is a 'Reticular Full' version (OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard it is installed on and can not be activated on another motherboard) is to reinstall XP 32 Bit to one of your SSD drives (you did not mention RAID), then install the drivers from Gigabyte.

    If you must go the 64-bit road know that 64-bit XP was not very well supported by software vendors and is not widely used.

    Also note that this socket 775 motherboard uses memory DDR3 and no common DDR2 for cards 775 mothers socket.

  • Just impossible to go from Vista to Windows 7 Pro home

    After reading a lot of posts, tried for hours, the call from Microsoft, I just can not upgrade Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro with my legal key.

    My hard drive in my HP Pavilion laptop is dead.  I've restored my Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD.  At some point in the past, I've upgraded to Windows 7 pro.

    I can't get there.

    I called Microsoft, my Win 7 Pro key is legal and acceptable.

    If I try to upgrade to Win 7 Home Premium, it does not accept my key and install my only option is to clean up the States.

    If I install win 7 at this point, my key will not activate, even with telephone calls to MS.

    I don't remember when I install only clean or when I have to install regular kicks windows, but I can't upgrade when it is started on the Win 7 Home DVD.

    If I make a new install of Win 7 pro, the error message indicating that my key is upgraded only.

    I tried some scripts on SevenForums to reset the flag of registry, did not work.

    MS technical support told me to switch to Win 7 home, then win pro, it does not work.

    I'm out of options, I hate MS with a passion.  Why is it so difficult and complicated.

    I have my copy of Windows.

    When I try to download an ISO from Windows recovery software, none of my legal keys work.  I have just errors of the webiste of recovery Ms.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Windows 7 Professional ever taken in charge in modernization of the place of Windows Vista Home Premium in any case. You should have done a custom installation:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
