If you do this for security reasons trying to prevent the data from the previous installation of Vista recovery then a program as recommended in this thread is fine.

If you want just a new installation of Windows 7 and no visible traces of the previous installation of Vista has such tools is not necessary and will take more time. In this case just disable the predesktop protection are in the bios and questioned during the installation of Windows where you want Windows installed just select custom and delete all partitions during the installation. Then recreate one or more going to install Windows 7. This option will do the same thing and you will have a new Windows clean install with no visible trace of Vista, but using the right tools, you might be able to recover parts of the previous areas of your disk Vista installation hard crashed yet. Using the program as it is recommended in this thread and then retrieve data from the previous installation should be impossible some tool you use.

So unless you already figured out that the program is intended for reasons of security and most commen to use in the case where you're going to hand this disc hard someone else or throw it out because you have a new computer hard drive and want to make sure that nobody can recover previous data. If you want just a new installation of Windows, it is not very common to use such a program, unless you have some secret stuff on the previous installation, you are not going to add it to your new installation and want to make sure that it is impossible to recover.

  • Shyould I use anytime upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, or buy a separate Windows 7 Ultimate product key?

    Hi, I am in the same situation.

    I just bought a preinstalled HP Win 7 Pro system and have now discovered that I need Win 7 Ultimate to create a disc hard virtual bootable from it.

    I am trying to decide if I should do the Express upgrade to Ultimate or if I have to buy a separate license for ultimate Win 7. I don't want to waste money on the upgrade first then I should still buy the license full. I guess it's the case that j. Miner is.

    J.Miner, you said that you already updated your Windows 7 Pro to ultimate before to a virtual hard disk from him. I don't suppose you aready active Win 7 Ultimate host after that upgrade, or upgrade process should do.

    This means that when you perform the VHD, activation is removed.

    Also how did the virtual hard disk. Have you used sysprep, imagex or disk2vhd. Things I've read, it seems that both sysprep and imagex will remove some information to generalize the boot image is not the case of disk2vhd.

    Please let me know how you have progressed with this exploration, so I can do the same thing if you got him.

    Windows 7 is no longer available via Windows Anytime Upgrade, you will need to either buy a full version or upgrade version Windows 7 Ultimate license and use the product key with the Express upgrade.

    Full version-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

    Version upgrade-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade

    If the license for Windows 7 Ultimate, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Ultimate. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Ultimate edition at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate files the stored settings and programs.

    Hello

    I've never had to buy a Windows DVD facility before so my questions may seem a bit Basic.

    I intend to buy a copy of 'Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate', full Version (PC DVD) from Amazon. (I think I should be clear of a counterfeit product, if I buy direct from Amazon).

    Am I right in thinking that if I buy this product so I can install it on several PC as long as I have installed it on more than one PC at a time?

    Really I intend to install first to my current PC, familiarize yourself with Windows 7 and then, finally, just abandon my old PC, buy a new and then install Windows 7 on this new PC. Is it possible for me to do it without breaking the terms of licenses for this product?

    Finally, (assuming I have reason to think that it is normal to do so) is there something I should do that I could not be aware of the transfer Windows 7 from my old PC to a new? I think I mean it's OK to me to erase the hard drive from the old PC before binning - and which supports Windows 7, having already been installed on this PC?

  • stepupgrade windows vista business Japanese version for windows vista Ultimate edition

    Recently, I bought a laptop in the Japan. The operating system is Windows Vista Business Japanese Version. I'm not familiar with the Japanese language and because of that I wanted to change it to English. I had discovered to find the way to put in place, but I found there was no way else to solve except buy a new Windows Vista with English Version or mine upgrade to Windows Vista ultimate. And I want to ask a question:
    1. is there anything else beside what I mentioned above?
    2. If I decided to buy a Step-Upgrade Vista Ultimate DVD Business, should I buy with the same language version with my Vista business, Japanese Version? Or is it fine with Step-setting level Vista Business to ultimate DVD English version anyway?
    3. Please show me how to change the display language after upgrade my Vista to Vista Ultimate!
    3. in the future, if there is a problem that I have to reinstall the OS, this DVD of Step - update allows again?

    Thank you for your attention.
    I'm sorry, my English is not good enough, I hope that you will understand my questions.

    Best account.
    Louise

    Change language:

    1. to change your Vista professional Japanese language to English, you can buy a Japanese Vista Ultimate Upgrade disk/license.

    Then download the English language through Windows Update as an option Pack.

    Vista Ultimate upgrade must be done in the original language Vista came.

    2. your other Option is to buy a FULL Vista Business English version and do a clean install.

    3. If you want to reinstall, you need the original installation of business > Ultimate upgrade > re-download the optional updates in Windows English Language Pack...

    You can 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
