Cleaning Windows Update option is available only when you log on with administrator permissions.
Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, right-click on disk cleanup, click on Run as Administrator. Scroll the menu drop down and you should see the option of cleaning of Windows Update. Check the box before this option.
Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options , the System Restore tab and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

You will need to purchase a license/disk/upgrade Windows 7 product key.
Microsoft sells more Windows 7 and you would have to buy from Amazon, etc.
There was a free upgrade offer, but it expired a long time ago:
"The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option. »
__________________________________________________
There is no Vista SP3; SP2 has the latest Service Pack for Vista and will be the last.
__________________________________________________
Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:
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.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

Yes.
You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk
Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...
Try to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade online: newegg, amazon, etc.
Alternatively, try your local computer store.
This isn't for free.
