    You have access to a Windows Vista installation disc? If so, follow the steps in this document to perform an InPlace upgrade.

Even if your data and programs must be safe, it is always advisable to make sure that you have a recent backup before major changes on the computer.

  • Do not install Windows Vista Service Pack 1

    Windows Vista Service Pack 1 keeps showing as needing to be installed. If I try to do it I tells me in a few moments that the installation was successful and that no new update is available, but when I check the updates, it reappears as needing to be done. I checked update history, approximately half of the SP facilities resulted and the other half has failed. I tried to install as many times to get the same problem. Only on one occasion the attempt seemed fine, but about 5 minutes in my computer has crashed - I restarted windows normally and updates reappear as needing to be done. I recently had my hard drive replaced if that illuminates the whole. Please help (!)

    Hello, I have recently reinstalled my Windows Vista Home Premium.  Now I am trying to re - install Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

    I had to download it because I couldn't get by a Windows Update.  When I tried to install the Service Pack, I received the following error message: Error Code: 0x8000FFFF.

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7, and then to 10 Windows but I don't think I'll be able to update without Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and 2.
