  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.

  Hello

  If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

  It is part of the upgrade process

  and also read this on licensing rules;

  If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

  The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  I have a Toshiba Windows Vista laptop and I want to upgrade to Windows 7. I have two user accounts and I was just wondering that during the upgrade can I still keep the files that I have on the accounts or they will be deleted? Thank you.

  How to upgrade to Windows 7:

  If you have Vista:

  Update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7

  If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

  Windows Vista Home Basic	Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium	Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Business	Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Ultimate Edition	Windows 7 Ultimate

  For more information, see upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 . (http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-vista )
  You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, a clean install is required. If you have any questions about the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, please see this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

  Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
  Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

  Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
  A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

  • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

  • Install Windows 7

  • Reinstall all your files

  • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

  These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

• I want to uninstall the upgrade of windows 7 and go back to Vista.

  This device comes preinstalled with Vista so that I only have the recovery disks that I made when I first set up the computer.  How can I uninstall the upgrade of windows 7 and reinstall Vista?

  BogeyB,

  If you have made a real upgrade (overlay on Vista), you might be surprised.  Click on the computer and open the D Recovery drive.  Open the folder named Recovery. Look at the bottom left corner.

  What is the date of creation?  Mine is from 2007.  I do not superimpose WIN 7 until 2011, but the recovery is still 2007.

  It's actually your full version of Vista recovery... it didn't get deleted or altered, except if you did.

• I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building?

  Hello

  OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

  An OEM license is not transferable.

  And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

  There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

  You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.

  See you soon.

• Can I upgrade to Windows 7 on Satellite Pro L510

  Hello. I recently bought a Satellite Pro L510.

  It came with a program to upgrade Windows 7 with PSLFFL-002002 part number, which shows that they are eligible for the upgrade of windows to windows 7.

  However, when my windows 7 cd came and when I tried to install it, there was a notice saying that my model is not eligible to upgrade to windows 7. When I referred to the given site 'http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/mlist_sp.htm' I noticed the L510 Satellite Pro series is not found in the list.

  Later, I called the center of Contact from Toshiba for re - confirm whether or not L510 pro series can be upgraded to win 7, and the person told me to reformat my laptop to factory settings. He said that I should refer to 'http://pc.toshiba-asia.com/portal/public/win7/specs.jsp?model=proL510' instead in regards to laptops for the upgrade of windows.

  However before I reformat my laptop I clarify / re - confirm L510 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to win 7. I don't want to reformat my laptop for nothing.

  Hope someone could help me.

  Thank you.

  I don't know how it works in Asia or with Asian laptops but the fact is that all new laptops are designed for Win7 and I see no single reason for your laptop are not upgradeable to Win7.

  Asian laptop models are not known to me, but I did not understand in your ad which OS came preinstalled as factory condition. Your laptop came with Vista pre-installed and you have upgrade you DVD Win7 or what?

  AFAIK preinstalled Vista can be improved using Win7 upgrade DVD and after upgrade you must not activate it. It will be automatically activated.

  So please be so kind and explain to us exactly what you want to do and how you want to do.

• Upgraded to windows 7 and also a new hard drive

  I have a 2005 HP m7060n Media Center http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00306958 & lang = to & cc = us & taskI... running on XP
  I was looking to upgrade to Windows 7 and also install a new drive.  New readers are shipped with windows 7 already preinstalled and when I change the disks, it will start windows 7.
  How could I then exchange the old files to the new drive?
  What is your solution the best and less expensive?  How do you do this?  Help, please.
  Thank you
  Marco

  I suggest that perform you a clone of the hard drive. Seagate drives and WD offer a free version of the wizard disk.

  Clone the original 200 GB drive to the new drive.  To avoid problems, has chosen a 1.5 or 1 t T drive. Once you have the clone, just install the upgrade on the new drive. All your data will remain intact, and the intact original of 200 GB drive is secure.

  PS > you need a spare sata power and data leads to the clone. Look inside and see what led power is hanging loose. Then I can suggest an adapter or cable. As the DVD is IDE, (not Sata) from what I've read, you will need a Sata data cable also.

• Dv6t-7200 notebook want: how will I know if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10?

  I searched HP website to see if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10.  I also tried the plug assistant in charge of hp and he has just directed me to a page of sale on windows 10.  I don't want to mess up this computer and reload all the software, if it's not compatible.  Is there a list of compatible computers HP or an app that I can run to check?  I lost a lot of time looking for the HP support for this information.  Microsoft told to go to the manufacturer for this information.  Help, please.
