• Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Windows complete PC Backup and Restore

  Dear Madam, dear Sir

  Upgraded my laptop HP DV7 Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, mainly to use Windows complete PC Backup and Restore.

  The restore time and unfortunately no option in the boot menu at startup to restore system from images. No menu advanced etc. I guess starting always remains at the level of the premium and does not provide "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" restore options.

  Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.

  Mmmm nice ideas...

  Thanks in advance

  Good day

  Hello

  Complete PC Backup is designed for the reinstallation of the operating system that you have backed up.

  You access it to start from a Vista DVD.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-complete-PC-Restore/

  To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer.

  See you soon.

• Satellite A200 - Vista Home Premium to ultimate upgrade

  Hi back from the guy with a new query.

  "" I'm looking to upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate... checked the requirements of what is known on the "Windows anytime upgrade" site and I can you there is a lot of conflicting ideas on how its all done up to the fact that I would need a disc to upgrade mailed to me.

  After reading a few other forums recently, the answer lies in what you guys can or perhaps are not able to advise me... and the question is:

  Only the so-called "rescue disk" provided with the purchase, IE the Windows operating system disk... ALL CONTAIN THE ' VISTA "SYSTEMS AVAILABLE..." Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate? and very unlikely, but she coded upgrade or anything like that, as its meant to be to perform upgrades?

  Thanks a lot again in anticipation of your kind comments

  Andrew.

  Firs of all I think you should know that it is a forum for users and to my knowledge, there is no guy from Toshiba which could provide instructions.
  I know, it's, your Toshiba Recovery DVD contains the same Win Vista that was preinstalled on your laptop.
  It seems that you bought this laptop with Vista Home Premium and this operating system should be placed on the recovery media.

  Please DON t mix the Toshiba Recovery DVD with a DVD of new, original and clean Microsoft Vista.
  Toshiba Recovery contains an image include the OS, drivers, tools and additional software.
  It s already active.

  The MS Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista but to use a version of Vista that a right serial key must be inserted.

  Hope I could make a clarification.

  Yes, you must install SP1... even just because SP1 is a sine qua non for the installation of SP2.

  It's okay which shows SP1 installed on 29 Apr-09: you haven't had not upgraded to Vista Ultimate then. ~ Robear Dyer (PA bear); MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002. DISCLAIMER: I do not represent nor don't work for Microsoft

• HP pavilion dv6-3141ee from home premium to ultimate

  Hello

  I have a computer hp dv6-3141ee laptop with windows 7 Home premium 64-bit installed on it.  my laptop has crashed and had a hard drive failure, so I took it to be fixed and my laptop to go with windows 7 ultimate 64 bit installed on this...

  I had a few problems with ultimate 64 bit about usb ports and a microsd port, whenever I insert a USB port it does not recognize, and then I have to unplug and plug back like 5 times or more for power read...

  My question is: is this really the ultimate 64 bit that causes these problems? should I go back to the original home premium 64-bit system?  Or y at - it suggestions for managing these issues?

  Concerning

  Hey ghalimajzoub,
  
  At the base, Win7 Home Premium and Ultimate Win7 are the same - there are a few feature differences when it comes to networking, backup and languages, but as far as material interaction goes, they are the same. See this table for details:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/compare
  
  The problem you are experiencing is certainly not due to a change in the Windows edition. Given that the ports were working before you took it repair, I recommend strongly to take out there, and to let them know - maybe something happened during the repair.

• Can I use "Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade [Home Premium to Ultimate]" upgrade to Professional to ultimate?

  "Can I buy" Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade [Home Premium to Ultimate] "and use it to upgrade Windows 7 Professional to ultimate?

  # Anytime Upgrade is specific edition.  If Home Premium was the original OS on the computer and then restore it and then use the HP upgrade last month to THE or buy a professional for the last update.

  Except if you have language packs that come with Ultimate I'd stay professional.  Professional is expected to support up to 2020, while Ultimate is limited to supported until 2015.

• Satellite A660 - update: Win 7 Home Premium to Ultimate

  I just bought A660 preloaded with Windows Home Premium 64-bit.
  I would switch to Ultimate 64 bits because I need additional features.
  I would like to know how to upgrade to Ultimate with a pack of detail without deleting all Toshiba drivers and characteristics.

  Any suggestion will be welcome!

  Hello

  You can buy a Microsoft Upgrade.
  But to be honest, that I recommend to buy a full version of Win 7 Ultimate and do a clean install.

  The advantage is that you could install this without early installation of Win 7 Home premium.
  For example; If you purchase an upgrade you will need to first install Home Premium and you need to improve this OS to ultimate. This can be annoying if anything goes wrong with OS and you need to install it again
  If you buy a ultimate full version, then you can install this OS immediately and directly without having to install Home Premium first.

  PS: the drivers are the same for Home Premium and Ultimate.

• Cannot restore backup successful - 0x8007007A Vista Home Premium error code

  I use Vista Home Premium that came with my laptop. I had a nightmare with my Dell Inspiron for the last two months. I finally gave up and decided to do a clean install, after completing a successful using the Vista Backup Backup Assistant. Now, here's the problem. I reinstalled Vista, and made sure I had all the Windows updates available. Now I want to restore my data from my removable hard drive files.

  I click on the Control Panel, system and maintenance, restore the backup files, Advanced Restore and select my removable hard drive (which is cool). Then, I get the following error message:

  "There was an unexpected error. The data area passed to a system call is too small. (0x8007007A).

  I tried to copy the backup file on my computer and going through the same process, but I get the same result.

  I'm at my wits end with this, I can see all the files on my portable hard drive so I know something is there, it's just Vista backup restore will not do its job.

  Help, please!

  First, disable any security software you have running on your system.

  Then connect the external drive and go to start / Control Panel / Adminiistrative tools / computer Managmernet / Disk Managment and change the drive the drive letter of bacckup (I don't know why, but I saw an answer where this atually worked so it's worth a try).

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.  More than finding the cause, I want to eliminate anything that might interfere with the process.  Try the restore in clean mode to see if the tht works.  Don't forget to return the system to normal when done regardless of the result.

  There is not much on this error code and absolutely nothing of a value - only valid suggestion posted above.

  Here is some general information that can help (although unrelated to this particular error)) but it may be useful to solve the problem as a whole.

  Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

  This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

  I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

  1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

  2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

  3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

  4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

  5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

  6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

  7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

  8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

  9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup ("Yes... even if he said that the backup location is not available ' )

  10. and you press "next".

  11 guess what... no error!

  12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

  13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

  14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

  I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

  I hope this helps.

• Vista Home Premium to ultimate problem, after reloading the system. Error message: the upgrade cannot be started. To upgrade, cancel Setup, and then choose to upgrade to a version of Windows...

  I recently had my computer HP reloaded due to hardware failure by Fry technicians.  They have reloaded it back to Home Premium, due to the fact that the initial charge.  I had already updated using a copy legal DVD Ultimate.  Now when I try to update it gives me the message above.  ALSO, when I check the GUI HP, it says my warranty expired 5/02 - OMG, I bought the computer 2/2007.  At they recharge an OLD picture or something?  HOW to solve this upgrade to Ultimate.  I don't want to throw away $150.
