• Is it possible to upgrade Enterpsie from Windows Vista to Windows 7 using the upgrade HP program?

  Hi all

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Windows Vista Enterprise. I read on the ability to upgrade to Windows 7 at low administrative cost by HP upgrade program. However, the site mentions that I can only upgrade from Vista Home Premium, business or ultimate edition. My laptop HP (the EliteBook 8530w) had Windows Vista Enterprise is installed. So I want to know if it is possible for me to upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade HP program.

  I bought this laptop from my University. They had a program, so we could buy our laptop with many applications that we need for our study pre-installed. It could be that they have replaced the Vista HP installed with Windows Vista Business version. If this is the case, is it possible for me to somehow re - install the previous version of Vista, so I can still take part in the upgrade program?

  I bought my laptop at my University. They have installed all the software and it is possible that they also installed Windows Vista business. When I looked at the description of the Elitebook 8530w, he mentioned Windiows Vista Ultimate as the operating system. So I am clueless why my University is using Windows Vista Enterprise.I have decided that I will contact HP support on this issue, to see if I can install Vista Ultimate and then upgrade to Windows 7.

  UPDATE: I contacted just HP support by phone. The Elitebook 8530w comes with Vista Bussiness installed and they send me an installation disc within 14 days. They have also described here it might be possible to do a clean install with upgrade cd, although they did not know for some. I think I'll try the clean install first, and if that doesn't work, I'll install Windows Vista Bussiness and then perform the upgrade.

  In any case, I want to thank everyone for the help they provided.

• Using the media update for windows 7 (from vista), can I now re - install 7 via the clean install option, even if it is the path I have chosen when first installing 7 first?

  With a 7 upgrade version (not the full version) I could not use the upgrade option to install 7 on Vista, because it asked me to uninstall 2 programs that would not work in 7 with installation before you begin.  I couldn't do it because my Windows Installer is missing on my computer. (In fact, I couldn't even run the Windows Upgrade Advisor before proceeding with the installation because this program must be installed on your computer before you can run) So, I chose to use the custom installation and it worked fine, except that my computer is now worse than with vista. Thinking that it was because he kept all the vista files (windows.old) I deleted this file, but he did that give back me my hard drive space. I would like to make a re-install using this same version upgrade disc, but I've heard that I can not do a clean install, if the original operating system is not currently on the computer (using the version upgrade 7, not the full version), and I guess that's is more on my computer with the exception of fragments which I affect 7 performance. If this is true, what should I do? If I have to go to the full version, is there a way I can just pay the difference between what I already bought and version complete, or will lose money that I spent on the upgrade version, and buy the full version outright? Bottom line is this:  I want to just Vista on my computer for GOOD!  I don't want something that looks even left of Vista on my computer. I'm sacrificing all my programs to do it with a clean install, but it's better than all the headaches, I got Vista! Thanks in advance for all you can give me advice.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Can I upgrade my computer Windows Vista 32 bit to 64 bit with the specs of my computer?

  Here's a question. I want to upgrade my pc to a 32-bit - 64-bit, 120-750 hdd hard drive and the RAM to 4gbs. is it possible for a 32-bit processor, 512 MB RAM oringally vista home 120hdd?

  original title: everything just curious...

  Hello

  Check with your system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for custom systems) to see if your computer
  can run Windows 7. If so check to see if it can run 64-bit which has higher minimum
  requirements than 32-bit. Finally check to see if the hardware upgrades that you make will be
  work in this computer. Don't forget if you spend a lot of money on upgrades, you may have
  but could a new computer for the same price. And then you'd have two systems.

  64-bit support
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/features/64-bit-support.aspx

  Run the Upgrade Advisor, and check with the center of compatibility for your key features. Also
  some system manufacturers have the online help and information for the upgrade to Windows 7.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - run this http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

  Also check the Compatibility Center
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  To see if you can run XP, Vista, or Windows 7 64-BIT, you will need to check with the system
  manufacturer if it is 64-bit capable. Are there drivers 64-bit for all devices? To run 64-bit you
  need 64-bit drivers (and the system must be able to run this version of Windows 64-bit).

  I hope this helps and happy holidays!

• I have a Genunine Windows XP (Home edition) installed PC imy. My RAM is 3 GB. Can I upgrade my system Windows Vista withuot spend the extra money?

  The product key for my Windows XP Home Edition is: XXXX-deleted-XXXX. While working in the PC, I get a MESSAGE"blingin on-screen ' OSB LOCKED: I want to know how to stop the message often displayed blinging."

  My second question is can I upgrade my system Windows Vista freely.

  My Hotmail ID of single widows is: [redacted]

  Rigaut

  First of all - do not post in a public forum product keys.

  Second - "OSB LOCKED"... Of course you did not mean "OSD LOCKED?  (a 'd' and not a 'B'...)

  OSD is the "On Screen Display" and has nothing to do with what version of Windows you have - but with yor monitor.  Look here:
  http://www.thefakegeek.com/2009/04/how-to-unlock-an-OSD-lockout-problem/
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-desktop-PC-questions/OSD-locked/TD-p/40291

  Last - is impossible to freely pass your system to Windows Vista.  Windows Vista is a product different from Windows XP and you will need to obtain a license.

• Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

  I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

  Thank you.

  You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

  What is the difference between 'Windows 7 Home Premium' (which has, it starts at $119 on the site Web - but then Bills to $199) and "Windows Anytime Upgrade: Windows 7 Home Premium" (which lists for $79.95)?

  Windows Anytime Upgrade is for upgrading from one version of Windows 7 to a more expensive version. For example, Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium.

  The version of $119 is for a Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade. The full version of Windows 7 Home Premium costs $199.
