• Upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade (64-bit) - option student... is this doable?

  Hello - I have a computer with Win7 Home Premium 64-bit installed OEM directly from the manufacturer.

  My University Bookstore offers Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade 32/64 - bit (English) (Student Option) - download

  at a reduced price, but the description says:

  Use this table to determine if you should make a bet to level or custom (clean) installation.

  Upgrade:	Upgrade to: Windows 7 Professional	Upgrade to: Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows XP, all editions	Custom installation required	Custom installation required
  Windows Vista Starter	Custom installation required	Custom installation required
  Windows Vista Home Basic	Custom installation required	Update available
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium	Custom installation required	Update available
  Windows Vista Business	Update available	Update available
  Windows Vista Ultimate Edition	Custom installation required	Update available
  Windows 7 family (* this is mine *)	Custom installation required	Custom installation required

  Question is - why do I need a "custom installation" and not an upgrade? I am a bit confused by this description and hope someone can help me to clarify. I'd like to be able to do an upgrade so that I don't have to fuss with all the files I have and avoid the relocation of all my backup software. Thanks for any idea that anyone can provide.

  If I do the custom Setup, please indicate on the measures to be taken. Thanks again.

  To do as it says, the on-screen instructions are clear, and you should ALWAYS back up the data before making any major changes.

  Note that an upgrade installation or custom are considered a MAJOR change... :-)

• If I run windows ultimate upgrade on my Home Premium 64-bit will this affect my ability "tactile"?

  Although technically it should not change anything about it either (upgrade that is) it * may *.

  Ideal if you have a system image to restore in the case where it does.  Also - Check your drivers are all up to date for all (by actually visiting the manufacturer of the site's web - ignore all Windows utility that you say that you have the latest drivers.)  If you do these two things - you should be in all cases.

  If you make backups - better start.

  I have to ask, however, why you upgrade?  Need domain join capabilities (generally useless to be a member to use the computer resources)?  Must be able to use remote desktop to find this specific computer (remote) (other utilities do not work for you)?  Want to use file/disk encryption (and third-party tools do not work for you)?  You can use dynamic disks?  Maybe you're eager to Windows XP Mode for something?  Need to be able to switch languages?

  I ask only because for most people, the upgrade to professional or ultimate edition is not necessary and is a cost that they could save money for something else on...

  Could resemble this comparison table to see what you could win - and then see if there is a free third-party software that would give you the same offers for free (and probably a better way - like Remote Desktop vs TeamViewer free.)

• Upgrade from Vista Ultimate 32 bit to Windows 7 Home Premium

  I'm running a GM 5424 Gateway System I bought with Vista 32 Ultimate on it.    A year ago I bought the dvd of Windows 7 Home Premium at Wal-Mart.    Can I do a upgrade in place without having to reinstall all my programs application?   I understand the Win 7 Upgrade advisor a few programs may not be compatible and is not a problem.

  I was wondering if the upgrade in place is available for this combination or to I need to do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)     Whether it is a new installation or an upgrade in place, I also know that I have several days of Windows updates for Windows 7 until the current patch level, since the OEM Win/7 disc includes only through SP 1.    I have other computers (laptops) running Windows 7 and 8 to win.

  My PC has a 500 GB drive and I've upgraded to 8 GB of memory in a couple of years (I realize the 32 bit OS does not use everything), but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 since my CPU and hardware will support it.   I've already replaced my NIC with a compatible card Win/7.

  I already intend to have at least 2 backups made to two different USB 1 terabyte disk drives and also will have all of my data backed up online via BackBlaze.

  Please notify.  Thanks in advance!

  Yes, no problem, as long as you stick with 32-bit Windows. And almost
  all the programs will be compatible.

  or that I must do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)

  but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 because my processor and hardware will support it.

  However, it is not possible to change the number of 'bits' of Windows, of
  32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa. The only way to get there is what you
  Dread - a new installation.

  Another point: Windows 7 is now two generations old. As far as I am
  concerned, she brings more much sense to upgrade to a young person of these
  Version. I recommend going to 10 Windows instead.

• XP Mode/VPC does not start on Windows 7 Ultimate upgraded from Vista Ultimate box

  1 Dell Studio 1735

  2 initially loaded with 32 bit Vista Ultimate. Including one instance of VPC 2007 carrying a XP Pro Virtual Machine

  3 before moving on to 32-bit Windows 7 compatibility check was done and recommended applications, including VPC 2007, have been uninstalled.

  4 Windows 7 upgrade was performed without incident or error and to end all applications and data were good.

  5 installed, strictly in accordance with the files of the web videos etc., XPMode, VPC and WindowsXPMode.  Once again without incident or error.

  6 in the execution either XPMode or VPC ago approximately 45 seconds of the busy HARD disk activity and then nothing.

  7 I have a backup image of the original disc loaded with Vista as it was before step 1, above, I have tried several variations on a theme whose hardware virtualization on and off the power, order of the file install etc. but nothing helps

  8 to prove the process and installation files, I did a clean load of Windows 7 then XPMode etc. on some old iron P4 and it worked a treat.  I'm actually surprised by not only it installed at all, but by the way it currently works on an area that was originally intended to spend the rest of his eternal life as a dump.

  My conclusion is that VPC 2007 uninstall is not clean; He leaves legacy shrapnel (register?) in the system which is farce VPC.  Note that the result is consistent on several uninstalls, step 7, above.

  Question; as the XPMode function is essential and will determine if a quantity of boxes are to move from Vista to Windows 7 where only once from here?

  See you soon

  Have you downloaded the latest version of Windows Virtual PC? Microsoft has recently updated it removes the requirement of hardware-assisted virtualization: both Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC is available for download on http://www.windows.com/business/downloads. For more information on system requirements, go to http://www.microsoft.com/virtual-pc, I upgraded my installation of Windows Vista Ultimate x 64 with Virtual PC 2007 SP1 3 year old last year and I was able to uninstall it and install XP Mode successfully.

• Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade from OEM Home Premium to professional

  Yes I'm agree it is OK - a pure and simple update specified in the EULA is not allowed and I even said that in my first post on this topic. That * IS * explained in the EULA.

  Steppenwolff asked what would happen if a component on the computer has failed or otherwise had deformities requiring a replacement and I think who has responded. He asked what if in 3 years I want to go inside my PC because it's quite slow.

  In case you have not noticed, what you've posted above is the 'education Operating System Licensing questions' and we don't discuss licenses for schools. In addition, that the document was last updated 17/10/2005 - well before the Windows 7 EULA was relased to the public and it probably was even not prepared or reviewed by the legal teams at Microsoft. How you can use a document to respond to questions about a contract that has been released to the public almost 3 years later is beyond me. Even in this case, this document clearly States at the top: ' Please Note: this Q & A is only for information purposes.»  Your use of Microsoft software products is governed by the terms and conditions of your license agreement. " and dating back to the EULA I really want to know if I missed something - where he mentions motherboards or even anything on the computer's components, upgrades, or component failures?

  Yes I'm agree it is OK - a pure and simple update specified in the EULA is not allowed and I even said that in my first post on this topic. That * IS * explained in the EULA.

  Stop finding an excuse to prove me wrong, that your information is disinformation, accept it and go, please.

• HP DV7T-2000: Windows 7 Upgrade from Vista for an HP laptop

  The installation will not proceed because the software and the computer "reads" the computer is running the battery power and it is not connected to a power source. My computer is "connected" and the battery remains entirely motorized. Indicator power where the power source is connected to the computer is not "informed", but the battery remains @ 100% charge while the computer was turned on for seven hours. Is there a way to get around this? I use Windows 7 and not Vista?

  IF that's true then remove the battery and just run with the AC adapter and see if this is the case?

• Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade will allow an upgrade from Vista Home Premium x 64 to Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

  I bought a HP laptop with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 64 in April 08.  If I buy a Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade, SKU: GLC-00184, I'll be able to upgrade to windows 7 Home Premium x 64 or Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

  The http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7?T1=tab02 table seems to indicate that would be the case.  On the other hand, it does not seem logical that we could move from Vista Ultimate or vVsta HP to Win7 Ultimate for the same price.

  Thanks for the clarification.

  Yes, you can make a place in Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate.

  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.

  Code GFC symbolizes the product depending on the location in most cases and in some cases, this has to do with the versions.

  The GFC-00019 is a commercial container 32 and 64-bit disk operating system version. TheGFC-00564 is a 32 bit OEM version. A commercial version can be installed on any computer. But always alone at the same time. But if you install on a computer (and then he got damaged without repair possible) and then I bought another you can install it on the new computer.

  An OEM copy can only be installed on computers. If this computer got far beyond repair that you can not use it again as with the retail version. You can install the OEM as many times as you like on the original computer.

• Home Premium 64 bit Ultimum 64-bit upgrade fails during execution. Error message: Windows cannot configure some components

  Upgrade problems. Home Premium 64-bit to 64-bit Ultimum.

  
  
  I tried several times to upgrade Vista Home Premium 64-bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit. It ends at until the end, but when it restarts, it says windows cannot configure some components and starts a restoration to Home Premium. So frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

  Both Home Premium and Ultimate out of support in two months.  One company will receive technical support from Microsoft (security patches, etc.) after April.  Here is the political Support of Vista page.  'Not applicable' entries in the column of Extended Support mean that this edition is not eligible for updates, including critical security updates, after the end of standard support on April 10, 2012.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/?sort=PN&Alpha=Windows+Vista

  If you can, return your ultimate and buy business.  I realize that copies of business are becoming difficult to find.  Another option is to upgrade to Windows 7.  I suggest professional since Ultimate offer very little more than Pro (just the Bitlocker and multilingual support) and is also not intended for extended support after Windows 7 standard support ends after 2014.  Professional will extend support through 2019.

  Having said all this, I also had problems using the update with Vista installation option.  In many cases I resorted to the use of the custom installation option.  That does not work, but of course this means using Windows Easy Transfer to save your files and settings and reinstall your programs.  What I eventually learned with Vista upgrade can take all day even when all goes well, then there is not much time saved during a custom installation followed in any case of reinstalling the software.

  One thing you can try is to completely remove your anti-malware software.  Just turning it off is not enough because some antivirus programs install a watchdog on the part of the registry.  If something prevents the writing of registry entries at the end of the upgrade you so you would get a rollback.
