  can I upgrade Edition Vista Home premium to windows 7 using vista anytime upgrade for free?

  Lol you cannot use Anytime Upgrade upgrading Vista to Windows 7.   The Vista program to THE was the upgrade of a Vista edition to a higher edition of Vista only.  The Vista program to THE ended when Vista was removed from retail sales.  It has never been free.

  THE present program is to upgrade an edition of Windows 7 to a superior and is only available to current users of Windows 7.

  If you want to upgrade Vista to Windows 7, you must purchase a standard upgrade of Windows 7 at retail price.  Please see

• Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation.  Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '.  All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before.  Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem.  All previous Windows upgrades went flawless.  Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.

  I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time?  I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup.  Is this correct?

  Hi pwcushman,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Windows Live OneCare Backup works in stages. You start by setting up how you want Backup to run and save the configuration. The backup will then run according to schedule and backup your files according to the saved configuration. You can make changes to this list or add other files and folders.

  You can restore all files and folders, but you will have to reinstall all the programs.

• My CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

  My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
  Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
  I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
  PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
  During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly.  In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
  Can someone help me please?
  Best regards
  John

  Besides what abdelhak says:

  The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  Hope this helps,

• Upgrade of Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

  Can I switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit?

  Upgrade paths:
  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

  If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

  Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate
  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition
  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise
  Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

  Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

• Vista Home premium OEM Windows 7 upgrade

  Members of the community of dear MS,

  I have two laptop PCs, they are all two Dell Inspiron 6400 and 1525 running Windows Vista Home premium.

  I intend to have these two computers, but both work very well while they are slow.

  I think Windows 10 upgrade because I am convinced that the operating system can give the best operation of resources even with older components.

  Before moving to Windows 10, I need to upgrade to Windows 7 so that I can get a free upgrade for Windows 10.

  Given that my two laptops are the OEM of Vista Home premium version and the Dell product key does not work to activate Windows 7.

  Can I ask for help to advise what I can do now?

  If I need to pay for an update to obtain Windows 7 Home Edition Basic, can advise please how I can pay for it.

  Thanks for your help and advice.

  Best regards

  Brian

  It is not sensible to buy a license and upgrade to Windows 7 just to get the free update of Windows 10.

  Just buy Windows 10 GB of the full version of the GET (you will need two licenses), and then perform a custom installation:

  I have a drive under Windows 7 Professional (upgrade from Vista) license for my PC that works very well. I want to improve my laptop using the same disc. Currently, the laptop has Windows Vista Home Premium. Can I bring my laptop to Windows 7 using the same disk? Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry, but the answer is no.

  You can't install your license of Windows 7 on both computers.

  One license is for a single installation.

  You will need to purchase another license of Windows 7 If you want to install Windows 7 on both machines.

• The upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

  Hello

  I HAV downloaded the ISO file following from the MSDN (en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso) site for the upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

  How should I now improve my OS from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.  Double-click the ISO file says that Windows cannot open the file.  How can I open the file?  Should it be converted into a .exe file.  If so, how?

  Thank you.

  A .iso file is an image of a dvd.  It is not a program or data file.  You need to burn this image on a dvd with your burning program.  Copy disc, burn to disc.  We'll then work the disc in your optical drive.
