at any time to upgrade to Vista

Salvation all of what I'm trying to move from an OEM version of vista basic to home prem (detail), how can I do this without losing all the other oem computer products?

Camera (if you mean webcam or digital camera) is not a problem at all. The drivers will be available from the manufacturer's website.

Drivers for the hardware are no problem. The only OEM software, you may be hard to replace is what you would normally pay, but the manufacturer of the computer has authorized you, things like versions of some Adobe programs - often, these are not available as a direct download from the site of the manufacturer because of licensing issues.

Manufacturer specific software and drivers (i.e. * make the Manager of program/update of counter/Power Options settings computer * etc.) should all be easy enough to find.

Let's make it easier. Make a list of all programs on your computer that you use. Then subtract from this list everything you have installation discs for. Then subtract from this list, all that you know is freely available online (i.e. any multimedia player or decompression utilities or similar, you can use). So tell me what remains on the list, and we'll see if it's going to be hard to track down - I don't expect.

It will also be interesting to go to the support/downloads section of the website of the manufacturer of your computer, keying in your model or serial number and have a peek at what downloads are available - should be drivers for each piece of hardware in the machine, most likely a few other pieces, depending on what type of computer, he is and who he did. Download all the Vista drivers for your computer and put them on a CD or a USB key before (I assume here that is your only computer, which means you will need to plan ahead a little more).

Tecra M7: Upgrading to Vista SP1 of XP - what drivers/utilities to use?

I'm installing from a DVD of MS Vista with SP1 included. Then, direct upgrade to Vista SP1. Vista is in and everything seems to work fine, except the screen rotation and probably a few specific applications, I've not yet tried.

Toshiba offers a set of drivers and utilities for upgrades from Vista. Some of them are for 2006 and 2007.

I think that if everything works well, why rock the boat?

So I'm looking to install only the drivers and utilities that Vista does not already cover. Minimum play.

Hello

> I think if everything works well, why rock the boat?
I agree with you that I would install only the drivers that are really needed.

In my opinion, you need:
Display driver
Flash Media Driver
Audio driver
Touch Pad Driver
Value Added Package
LAN and WLan driver

In my opinion, these applications are recommended
Other software like driver Config Free, Bluetooth, Fingerprint Software, etc. are not neccessry for me because I don't use it every day or every time

Problem upgrading Windows vista

My computer has recently been in the process of upgrading to vista and I turned it off. When I turned on the computer the next day, he said "stage 3 of 3 0% complete do not turn off the computer" so I just let it go... However when I came back he said the same thing and I watched after 1 min on the screen to update the computer restarts and it's back to the same message and my computer keeps restarting and nothing is updated at all. I tried to exit from this page, but I have in vain. I also can only turn off the computer by pulling the battery / I don't know what can someone help me please?

If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

Impossible to upgrade Edition Vista Home premium to Windows 7 Home premium. I get an error type of 3211266.

Yes, I know, I'm a little late. Vista works fine on my PC and now some third-party vendors are abandoning support of this platform, so I'll try to upgrade to Windows 7 to get a mileage more than my PC until I have to replace it. I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and he said I could upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. It works fine for a few hours, then stops in a few words about the 75% mark in the part "Transfer files, settings and programs" of the upgrade and I get the message - "the installation cannot continue.

I'm puzzled. I looked in the forum for this error and did not find the same upgrade scenario that I am experiencing. All advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

According to the description, I understand that you can not upgrade to Windows 7.

I suggest you to refer to the suggestions by Andre Da Costa MVP responded on December 12, 2009 and check if that helps.

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-windows_install/upgrade-from-Vista-to-Win7-wont-complete/e2b6ecf6-C980-4006-81cb-ddd1b5ec108a

Warning: Antivirus software helps protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software and/or any relevant issue, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks by malicious software.

I tried a number of times to upgrade to windows 10. I get c1900101 - 4000D as a mistake. Once, my entire hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7.

I tried a number of times to upgrade to windows 10. I get c1900101 - 4000D as a mistake. Once, my entire hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7. I am also having a problem installing Adobe Flash player. It is said that API-MS-Win-Core-Registery-l1-1-0.dll is missing but I don't know what it is. Any suggestions?

"Configuration settings" is the final phase and fault codes look like c1900101 x400xx. The most common failure here is 40017, which means we could not start. Since this is the first time start us Windows 10 with all the drivers in place, once again, drivers are usually the cause of the accident. These issues tend to be less transient than the 30018 s, then a second test is less likely to solve the problem. Yet, it never hurts to try.

Try to upgrade manually:

Task of pre-required

When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1
then
- How to download official Windows 10 ISO files
- How to: upgrade previous versions of Windows using the file ISO for Windows 10
then
- Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
- Reboot several times, and then try again.
- Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
- If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
- Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
- If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
- If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
- If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
- If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
- If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
If the problem persists, try the upgrade manually, but choose the option to keep personal files only, you will have to reinstall applications.

Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (Retail DVD) will not install an upgrade on Vista Home Premium (OEM factory - installed)!

I bought a copy the retail of Windows 7 premium (updated version) upgrade on Vista Home Premium SP2on my 3 yr old HP Pavilion Desktop on 22/10/2009. Vista has been installed at the factory. The PC more than meets all hardware reqs. I tried 4 or 5 times to upgrade the operating system on this PC & it runs fine until the process to halfway in step 5 in the upgrade and stops. I forgot the exact message, but it's like 'cannot be upgraded pc, abandoned process, will now restore the Vista installation. After this x 4-5 in the last seven days, I'm sick of what's going on. I've been building & PC repair & installation, configuration, and upgrade Windows since Windows 3.1 and Dos operating system. The Win 7 installation routine is so demanding that if all the program requirements are not met (for the latter)-it just stops and is abandoned. I've never had this kind of trouble before. NEVER Yes, I use the on-line support docs & Software Advisor compatibility. I've never seen an OS that just works! Absolutely amazing! I also tried this on my computer Lenovo laptop lastnight - same thing!

Hi Jim,.

Thanks for the information. You said you ran Upgrade Advisor several times on both machines. This show no error every time? Also, I would recommend unisntalling any antivirus that you have currently and to help clean up the provided utilities if any, of the antivirus manufacturer. In addition, unplug all unnecessary devices such as printer, network cable or any other devices you have.

I hope this helps!
