  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.

  How to reinstall your Express upgrade

  Until you do, what I recommend is, after you did the Express of Home Premium Professional upgrade and activate. You should back up your installation as a system. So when you decide you want to start over, everything you do is restore the system image. This will exempt things as the relocation of the base license, reactivation, redo the Express upgrade, then turn it back on again.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

  The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
   
  An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
   
  What happens if I lose my product key?
   
  If you lose your product key, you can return to

  www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

  The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.
   
  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
   
  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
   
   
   
  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
   
  -HP use F9 on most of its systems
   
  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
   
  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12
   
   
   
  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
   
   
   
  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

• Upgrade Windows Vista Home Premium (not the valid product key problem) to Windows 7 Home premium

  My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.  I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer.  Now, I have a problem with a product key.  When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement.  I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key.  My question is this.  If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key.  If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key?  Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop?  Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price?  Thank you

  You cannot transfer a license from another computer to another computer, especially if the license came with this machine. You will need to purchase a new license.

  Yes, you can purchase a license of Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home Premium and use it.

• After you have reinstalled Vista Home Premium 32-Bit with Service Pack 2. Windows recognizes only 958 MB 2G of Ram. The processor is AMD Turion 64 X 2 1.80 GHz 32 bit

  Hello
  I have a hp Pavilion notebook PC with a new motherboard.  After you have installed Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I noticed that Windows only recognizes 958 MB 2 GB of RAM installed.  No one knows why this is happening and how can I fix or troubleshout the problem?
  Thank you, PD777

  Hello

  How is your memory configured? that is, what is 2 x 1 GB modules or module 1 x 2 GB. If the former I would check the physical installation of the modules on the MB memory.

  Vista 32 bit should see up to 3 GB, I doubt that it is Vista the cause.

  Another thought, are your shared graphics? in some BIOS, it is possible to ask the system to use a fixed amount of RAM the GUI system, this memory will not be included in the complete system.

  I got a deal to get the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade for $ 100, thought that I get it.  Only now I realize that I had Vista Home Premium on my laptop, and so impossible to move to Windows 7 Pro.  I went out and bought the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade today for another $ 100 to upgrade.

  Basically, can I use this software to upgrade Windows 7 Professional upgrade the copy of Windows 7 family upgrade that I just bought. If I can do:

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium< windows="" 7="" home="" premium="" upgrade="">< windows="" 7="" professional="">

  I hope I explained this correctly.  I don't want to really not get stuck with a copy of Windows 7 Pro upgrade software that I can't do anything with.  Any help would be incredibly useful.

• remote access OF can I have 7 home premium to surface RT

  Hi all

  I have following a workflow access remotely in my windows 7 Home premium and then got the address of the computer and then went to my RT surface and opened the Office connection remotely, typed in the windows 7 premium address personal and clicked on connect, but it did not work.  Can we with a windows 7 Home premium and a surface RT help me.  It's different with windows 8 and surface PRO so you have these two different computers.  Help, please!  Thank you.

  zutalors

  I think you get the to & mixed here, which is an easy mistake to make.

  In your open message, you are on your Surface RT, trying to access your system Win 7 Home, correct?

  It is a connection to your Win 7 system, not him. It's the Surface. The connection system, you're on (referred to as the customer) to the one you are trying to access (called the host).

  Unfortunately, Home Premium does not include the ability to be a host for remote desktop, so you can not connect.

  You can probably switch to professional using the Express Upgrade feature, but you will have to pay for it. If it is better to buy, it is to you.

  There are other options. You can try Teamviewer, which is free for personal use, and will allow you to access your Windows 7 system anywhere you have an internet connection. Install the program of Teamviewer on your Windows 7 system and follow the instructions to configure unattended access. To make things easier, I would put up a free Teamviewer account.

  Then install the Soft Touch Teamviewer on your Surface and connect to your Teamviewer account. Your computer will display available to connect to. click on it and you will be connected.

  TeamViewer is reliable and safe, but there is a bit of overhead to connect - this is not quite as sensitive as being actually at the computer, and the image quality is slightly reduced. It is still very usable but.

  If you use Teamviewer they decide "too much" you're really a pro after all user and pay you, so it is preferable to the use of the lamp. I use it mainly to support remotely, rather than to access my own computers.

  Another option is Splashtop, which also offers a free service, as long as you connect to your own network. They charge if you want to access your computer anywhere, but it's not expensive. I use it to access my system Win 8 Home of my Surface. Its reliability and on a local connection, it's like being at the computer. Its designed for games and multimedia and it shows in the quality of the image and responsiveness.

  Yet once you install host of Splashtop on your Windows 7 computer and create a free account. Make sure Splashtop loads at startup - it is an installation option. Then install the app Splashtop on your Surface and you sign in to your account. The application will display your Windows 7 system as available to connect.

  TeamViewer both Splashtop are very easy to implement. IMO you can't really go wrong with either - it depends on your needs.

  Try them both and see if it does the trick. If this isn't the case, you can always make the Express Pro upgrade.

• Where can I find Win7 Home Premium x 64 OEM?

  Hi all

  I have HP Pavilion dv6 that comes with OEM product key, as usual. but where to download the ISO of Windows 7 Home Premium OEM x 64?

  Hi, thanks for the response.

  First of all, I saw not a manufacturer that distributes the OEM installation with their products. I had to delete the recovery partition because I installed linux somehow wrong, so did not have the boot on the primary and recovery, removing all of the hard disk was the only option. In any case a lot understand your concern.

  I would like to ask another thing, I have a key for Windows Enterprise x 64 retail, can you give me a link to the ISO file?

  Windows 7 Enterprise is a product of volume which means its supplied under volume licensing companies that deploy Windows in large quantities. Which means, one that you provided it should also provide that he should also have you the installation media.

  Or if you have access to the Volume License Service Center, you should be able to download it from there.
