I bought a disc to upgrade to windows 7, but when I went to get ready to run it, I realized that it says Vista business to Windows 7 pro on it. Im going to erase my hard drive in any case again so can I use this drive for windows 7 operational?
Hello

Re-installing Dell inspiron 19 has windows 7
People,
I have a Dell Inspiron 19. The Dell of Dell diagnostics disk utilities & drivers say all right. It is a Seagate 320 GB drive. I installed the drive on another computer and used sea tools to erase the disc. Then I created a partition and marked as "bootable".
When I try to use the Dell reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home premium SP1 64-bit, it crashes when is about to display the windows logo. A few pixels logo show and then it's there. Any ideas? I worked on it for several days. Really a "stumper" for me and I did something like that for years!
Original problem seems to be a massive viral infection (owner had no active antivirus software installation!) which led to the non-bootable computer. After working on this for a while, I decided to just do again it.

Hello TomNeumeyer,
Your computer initially comes preinstalled with Windows Vista HP on this subject, the manufacturer? If so, you will need to contact them to get an installation disc. If you have a Setup for Windows Vista HP disk and a product key, simply insert the DVD and start the installation.

Can I switch from Vista Home Premium 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?
I wanted to basically triple - check the compatibility of my laptop current in what concerns the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.
As a student, I can get windows 7 professional 64 bit for £30. Their moment I'm running a 32-bit version of vista Home premium, and I wanted to confirm my laptop is up to running a 64-bit operating system, and that the upgrade from a 32-bit version of Vista to a 64-bit Windows 7 version is also possible.
I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, and it is said that everything should be correct regarding my hardware specifications.
The results of the 64-bit Upgrade Advisor version:
-"Your graphics card supports Aero de Windows interface.
-Processor: 2.1 GHz
-3.0 GB of RAM (I know it's 4 GB but 32-bit vista can not handle the truth)
-80.7 GB free on C:The consultant warn me that I'll have to do a clean install, rather than an upgrade. I'm not worried about it, I can back up my files to an external hard drive.
What I want to know is, I will certainly be able to upgrade Vista Home Premium 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, with the upgrade kit here http://store.digitalriver.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayHomePage&Locale=en_GB&SiteID=msshgb at the bottom of the page?
Thanks for your help.
You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.
Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.
Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

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. Also, you can make the 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. Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com -
My Hp Pavilion Elite M9340F desktop PC was the best computer I've ever owned five computers desktop and portable three. Not only use the personal media drive Bay and two bays of lightscribe disc, I upgraded the video card and the power supply because I run also three external hard drives more (which actually a total of six hard drives run continuously). I want to spend all or just possibly the main hard drive and Windows 7 Home Premium personal multimedia hard disk. Is it better to buy the disc or download the software? In addition, how is it difficult to make the switch? Even with good backups, I have heard horror stories of losing part or all of the files or have things so scrambled that it is almost impossible to find what you are looking for.

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.
«How To Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium»
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/6892/how-to-perform-an-upgrade-from-Vista-to-Windows-7/
And follow these steps first:
Go to the HP website and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

Windows cannot find any networks, but Ubuntu can! (X 32 Vista Home Premium)
I recently replaced a faulty laptop computer mother board with an identical model (only difference is a newer version of the BIOS). After restarting Windows (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) I can't find the networks wireless where I can see usually eight networks at least an unsecured connection, but now I get nothing.
I replaced the wireless card Atheros with an Intel Pro 3945ABG driver and installed the latest version and that I still get the same error "Windows cannot find any networks", I can get access to the internet via an Ethernet cable but I am unable to connect wirelessly. If I try to manually configure the wireless connection, I get "unexpected error occurred".
I started the system from a CD of Ubuntu to check that it was not a hardware problem. Wireless card perfectly, sees all the networks, connects and works very well.
It seems that something inside Vista has failed since even change the wireless adapter for a different manufacturer and the results of the modeling in the same error, pointers?
Kind regards
Jason.
SOLVED
It turns out that Kaspersky Internet Security is at fault and he was very happy to work via ethernet it had mutilated all WLAN connections.
Removal of Kaspersky and all of a sudden all the wireless networks have re-emerged.
Kind regards

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.
