Currently running XP, are there upgrades Windows Vista still available
I was wondering if Microsoft has Windows Vista updates always available? You want to upgrade to Windows XP.
Yes, but if your computer will support it, you should really consider Windows 7. Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
Microsoft itself does not sell Vista as a retail sales point, but he said: «visit your local retailer or online to buy a PC with Windows Vista.» We are still selling Windows Vista and will continue to provide support for it. »
For example (but be careful, some of the cheaper offers can be either non-authentic or most likely the OEM versions that are only legal for the first computer on which they are installed).

upgrading Vista to Windows 7 Professional
I followed the instructions given on the MS site to upgrade my vista to windows 7. I answered the questions and MS said that I had to purchase the Professional upgrade from windows 7. After purchasing, I tried to install it and the upgrade program says that I can't upgrade vista with this version. Is there a work around for this problem, because I don't want to do a full install.64 bit HP machinesDual processor quadcurrently Vista SP2Hi JimNorman,
1. What is the version/edition of windows vista installed on the computer?
2. How do you try to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 (via anytime put at level or by using a disk)?
Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

Hello
Reinstall the operating system?
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
This method will probably not available because you have installed Windows 7
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

Do you have a recommendation about knowing it would be preferable to upgrade Windows Vista (32) to Win 7 (32), or make a new installation for Win 7 (64). Laptop has currently 4 GB of RAM installed. Should I wait for an improvement of the notable performance with the additional hassle to install Win 7 (64)? I guess I have to pay money to Ms. be it (?)

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

Upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 8.0

I have 'get it' that it will be a clean install and all my programs will need to be re-installed.

Thank you in advance for your great help!
Any notice are appreciaed before taking the plunge and try this installation :)
