• Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation.  Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '.  All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before.  Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem.  All previous Windows upgrades went flawless.  Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.

  I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time?  I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup.  Is this correct?

  Hi pwcushman,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Windows Live OneCare Backup works in stages. You start by setting up how you want Backup to run and save the configuration. The backup will then run according to schedule and backup your files according to the saved configuration. You can make changes to this list or add other files and folders.

  You can restore all files and folders, but you will have to reinstall all the programs.

• 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.  "Your computer will now reboot and that your previous version of Windows will be restored.  The good news is that the restoration has worked flawlessly.

  I saw the setupact.log file and note these messages (in bold & underlined characters):

• Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional and I have a few questions?

  I'm about to upgrade to Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit, but I'm very nervous (stupid - I know).  Currently I have Vista on a SATA internal hard drive, but is planning to install Windows 7 on my much bigger and 2nd inside SATA hard drive, which currently has no importance to this subject?

  1. Is it possible to install Windows 7 on an internal hard drive with Vista on another?  I have no intention to use Vista more so once Windows 7 installed will not need to keep if it is possible to do.
  2. Assuming that I can install Windows 7 on disk more while Vista is a smaller, I cause operational problems by removing Vista once Windows 7 has been wing not unhooked?
  3. Assuming the above is possible I will be able to "faithfully" copy/move/import (not sure of the method - help please) users existing file structure and data from the old files of user profiles of Vista on the smaller disk to the new files in user profiles Windows 7 on disk more nothing lose or create compatibility problems?
  4. If not, should I just stick with the installation of Windows 7 over Vista and use the larger 2nd disk to store users.  I chose this option will data being stored on the disc more to maintain its security between users.  That is, if Winodws 7 is intalled on the smaller C drive and I connect like me, can I keep my data of user on the 2nd drive internal more all ensuring that other users cannot access the data just by accessing the 2nd disc via "my computer"? I hope that makes sense!
  5. It is even possible to store data of the user safely on another drive to the operating system, but still maintain user security principals / separate secure?
  6. It is possible to install Windows 7 on the 2nd largest drive I can (before deleting Vista) user folders simply drag - move in new files of the user, I create in Windows 7 or is it more complicated than that.  (I'll try to find the simplest method to keep user files structures and existing Vista and import/copy/move data in new user profiles in the new operating system).

  Sorry for all the questions but the family counts on me to get it right.

  Show stopper, is that you can do a upgrade in place of a 32 bit OS (Vista in your case) to a 64-bit (Windows 7 64 bit) OS, you must perform an installation "Custom"and clean. "

  This means that you should backup your media files data external 9to) before starting and reinstall all of your applications after installing Windows 7 64 bit.

  Question: Did you buy an "Upgrade" version or the "full version" of Windows 7?

  Regarding the drive to use, either will work, but the procedure is different.

• Upgrade of Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

  Can I switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit?

  Upgrade paths:
  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.

• My CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

  My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
  Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
  I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
  PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
  During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly.  In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
  Can someone help me please?
  Best regards
  John

  Besides what abdelhak says:

  The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

• Vista Home premium to windows 7 Professional

  I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium on it. I want to upgrade to Win7 Pro. Is this possible? When you try to pass through the upgrade online, it says I can only switch to Win7 Home Premium or Ultimate, not Pro. I do not understand why this would be the case, I bought the version Pro and technicians at Best Buy retail say there is no problem, but I don't want to open the box for fear that I won't be able to return if the upgrade will not take. Help, please!

  Thank you

  Windows Vista Home Premium is a qualifying product to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, but you cannot do directly in place upgrade from Vista Home Premium to professional. You must back up your personal files and settings and be prepared to reinstall all your applications. If you don't like this option, its best return you it for a refund, buy Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade, then do a Home Premium Express upgrade to professional. This is the best option to keep your personal and your settings and applications files installed.

• I have a comp with windows Vista Home Basic 2007 Office. Can I upgrade to vista home premium? too many things are not compatible with windows 7.

  This upgrade to vista family premium is still available? is this useful? How much would it cost?

  where do I go to windows 7 and just deal with incompatible programs?

  or just forget it and leave it as it is until I can afford a new?

  * I just did a full factory restore, which helped.

  but when I reinstalled the operating system, it wouldn't let me put in the same primary place on drive C?

  I had to put it in a secondary partition and it saved a lot of old stuff and labeled "old windows"?

  I do not understand why it does this. is there something in the old system files I need?

  cause the entire purpose of the restoration was to get rid of all that. now, I have essentially 2 copies taking up room.

  because he saved much of the old system files, there's no enough space in the main square.

  Do you think I can manually remove the "old windows" copy C drive without doing any harm to the computer?

  I did enter and delete all of the photos and docs & downloads which he recorded, that I didn't, with no negative consequences.

  but it still has a lot of program/file system I fear not remove.i shouldn't need them... right?

  everything I need should be there since the operating system reinstalled, I just did?

  Help?

  Marc Zanyk

  By all means delete the windows.old folder.  Use disk cleanup.  You will find a box to check the detached, although it will not be called "windows.old" specifically.

  It seems that your computer has a recovery partition.  You would not be able to install.

  As for Home Premium, Yes, you can switch to HP.  If you can still find a copy.  Vista Express upgrade is no longer available since Vista is no longer available at a retailer.  However, you can find a copy on eBay.  Make sure you buy a retail copy and not an OEM copy.  You will not be able to update an OEM copy.  No matter if the copy of detail you find is a copy of full or upgrade license.  You'd still be able to do an upgrade in place with one or the other.

  Hello

  It's always a good idea to have a paper copy of a disc (for resettlement and repairs).

  And Yes, backup all your data as 'can' happen during an upgrade that is supposed to be easy.

  This is a very good guide for what you want to do:

  Make sure you go from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit to be able to do an upgrade.
