  Yes, you can perform an upgrade "On the spot" and all your personal data and software applications will be available in Vista (provided that they are compatible Vista).

  As always, you should create a backup Image in XP before you begin the upgrade, just in case. Also check that you still have your XP product key. If this isn't the case, then use one of the below product key finders.

  How to do a clean install:

  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.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• IM using Windows XP Profesional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 and what would be the cost?

  upgrade windows xp to windows 7

  IM using windows xp profesional can I upgrade to windows 7 and what would be the cost? what I have to put all my files on an external drive then uninstall windows xp then put in windows 7 then put back my files? is that how its done? Thank you.

  First the cost, you must know if your hardware can support Windows 7

  In General win 7 should a minimum og 1 gig of ram (for 32 bit) or 2 for 64-bit, and it needs a video card 256 MB or greater.

  If your less and can not be updated it may be best to start thinking about a new computer.

  If the above is ok there are various offers for win 8, but make sure you buy form a reliable site of Ms.  There are a lot of current scams.

  Good luck

• Can I upgrade Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows Vista 64 - Bit and preserve everything?

  I have a computer with Windows Vista 32 - Bit OS.  I have also 4 GB of RAM, but as the OS is 32-bit, he acknowledges that 3 out of 4 GB.  So, my question is, can I upgrade to a version 64 bit Vista and preserve files and programs, or what I have to buy a copy of Windows Vista 64-bit?

  Thank you

  Hello.

  No.; You cannot switch from 32-bit to 64-bit.

  It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

  There has never been a way to upgrade.

  You should backup your data, copy it into the 64 bit OS and reinstall all your programs

  Microsoft sells more than Vista.

  And before you buy Windows 7:

  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.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Windows apparently can't stand Vista more means can't be upgraded to Vista Business from Home Premium?

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 using a Vista Home Premium x 64 OS and I want to upgrade the operating system Vista Business but what I understand that MS can't stand Vista does that mean I can't do this? Is there another place I can buy a 3rd type company. third-party software for my portable computer? I read an answer in the system here that said I can improve, but the question and the answer was written in ' 09 and I don't think that's relevant today. Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  you have never been able to do this upgrade

  You can't put Vista Home Premium to Vista Business; This is NOT an upgrade path

  Home Premium to Business must be done with a clean installation using a patented FULL vista

  You can upgrade Home Premium to Ultimate

  Ultimate includes the enterprise features

  to buy it test a computer repair shop and ask them to left over copies

  purchase online can be fraught with dangers of piracy

• Upgrade to Vista Business downgraded to XP 7

  I recently bought a laptop HP Compaq 8710w comes with Vista Business downgraded to XP Professional. I ordered my upgrade kit, as I understand it will take to do me a clean install. My question is, I will receive a copy at retail of Windows 7, which also includes good 32-bit and 64-bit, or will I receive only the 32-bit version? If I get only the 32-bit version, it will be specific to my serial number or I'll be able to get on ebay and trade it for a 64-bit version?

  It seems almost right that I have to do a clean install anything, I should be locked in the 32-bit version. As long as I do a clean install, it seems that I should be able to upgrade to 64-bit.

  Thank you

  Tyler

  I think that you will have 32 bits by default, you can usually contact Microsoft directly and they will send 64-bit as long as you have a valid product key.

• 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.
