Can upgrade you Vista to 7 if the Windows repair failed?

I'm having a problem with my computer (Vista Ultimate 64) where there is a failure of the system, and it does not start, just restarts. Windows repair has not solved the problem.

Would it not be wise to purchase a Vista upgrade to Windows 7? This update level or likely to fail?

No, you can do a custom installation:

  • Can upgrade you XP to 7 with the upgrade of student in VMware?  I can't make it work...

    Hey guys,.

    I'm having a devil of a time with this... I have XP on the partition boot camp, as well as a computer virtual created from it.  I just purchased the upgrade to the Windows 7 home MS student, burned the ISO to a bootable disc, and now I'm stuck.  I have a MBP 13.3 (5.5) running Snow Leopard and VMware Fusion 3.  I tried to start my computer the DVD, only to have the installer of Windows 7 tell me that it doesn't have the correct drivers.  Well, then I start completely in Snow Leopard, open to the top of my bootcamp with merge partition and I can't seem to start from the DVD here, or in the virtual machine either.  So I'm stuck, what am I doing wrong / is there a way and it works?

    Thank you!

    Win 7 coming to be superimposed on a XP installation isn't a good idea.  You are better to destroy your Boot Camp partition and install a clean copy of 7, Ditto for a new virtual machine in Fusion.   Keep in mind Apple has not released the Boot Camp for Win 7 drivers yet, but the plan at the end of the year.

    For the installation of an upgrade disk, you can do this by entering is not your product key during the installation and the next article Paul Thurrot Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media, if you have only one disk to upgrade you will need to interrupt the use of your XP machine by the upgrade license.

  • can upgrade you vista Home premium to vista professional in order to install windows 7 Professional upgrade?

    Husband bought the windows 7 Professional upgrade.  Of course when it did not work and the message was to do a "clean install", we both had type light headed as we thought it that will take all day and probably does not work smoothly since is the most "literate" computer.  I did some internet research and according to microsoft, windows vista business upgrade to windows 7 Professional is an upgrade and not a clean install.  Is it useful to try and uprade my 64-bit edition windows Home premium windows vista professional in order to upgrade to windows 7 Professional?  I don't think we can get our money back because the packaging is open or I would say just that we trade it for ultimate.  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.  Also I don't know even where to download vista business or haow only as much as it would cost.  Thanks in advance.

    N ° there is no way to go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional OR Vista business without what you call a 'clean install', so there is no point in spending money to upgrade to Home Premium to business before the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.  Upgrade Vista Home Premium only allowed on-site is ultimate.

    Use Windows Easy Transfer to keep your files and settings.  Then, start the computer with the Windows 7 dvd installation and moving forward.  Do not remove Vista.  Windows 7 upgrade installation should detect a copy installed Windows so that you can use the upgrade product key.  Once you reach the installation type selection screen, you will see the upgrade option is grayed out.  Choose the custom option to continue.

    If you want to do a clean install, you can use the tools on the installation type selection screen (until you click on custom) to reformat, etc., but this is not necessary if you don't mind remove the old Windows folder later.  If you start with a blank hard drive your upgrade license will be a problem then don't attempt is not a clean install of the old way.

  • What is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1?

    I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.

    Original title: upgrade

    Hello WilliamPopat,

    If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.

    However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.

    According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it.  However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.

    Hello

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for later operating systems.

    There is no free upgrade from XP to 7, 8.1, or 10.

    Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    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.

    After reviewing the issue, put the computer into Normal mode.
    Uninstall or update the program that is causing the problem.

    If this does not work, let us try to restore your computer to a previous state of safe mode.
    Follow the instructions below to restore your computer to a previous state.

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

    3. in the System Restore dialog box, click Next.
    4. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created at least a week before the current date, and then click Next.

    Note: If you do not find a restore point that is aged for at least a week, select the first point of restoration that is available.
    5. click on finish.
    6. the computer restarts. The system files and settings are returned to the State they were when the restore point was created.

    Check whether the problem is resolved.

    I suggest that you create a restore point before you follow the instructions below.
    How to manually create a restore point?

    1 open the system by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click System.

    Hi S RAGAN,

    I suggest to perform the clean boot on your computer and check.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    To perform a clean boot on a computer, follow these steps.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.

    If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 . In addition, see the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.
