Given upgrade Vista Home Basic to Home Premium 7

Hello world! had a doubt: I plan to upgrade my Vista Home Basic to Home Premium 7, but I don't know if my computer will work as smooth as Vista. My system has achieved:

  • 2 GB OF RAM
  • NVidia GeForce 9500 GT (it will work very well. I think)
  • 250 GB HARD drive (well, it's like 230 GB)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.8 GHz per CPU
  • Everything except Office 2010 (Beta) and games very sophisticated (not Internet because I don't want to get viruses)

My big problem is the games. I like to play great games like Assassin's Creed and Crysis, which move more great on Vista. I don't know if they will work as good as sound in Windows 7. Also, I would like to know the reqs. recommended for this system. Please answer!

Depends entirely on what games they are. It is likely that some will be
work, but others can not.

  • Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Windows complete PC Backup and Restore

    Dear Madam, dear Sir

    Upgraded my laptop HP DV7 Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, mainly to use Windows complete PC Backup and Restore.

    The restore time and unfortunately no option in the boot menu at startup to restore system from images. No menu advanced etc. I guess starting always remains at the level of the premium and does not provide "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" restore options.

    Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.

    Mmmm nice ideas...

    Thanks in advance

    Good day

  • Upgrade Vista, home premium to Ultimate 64

    I'm currently running Vista Home Premium 64, service Pack2.  I received an upgrade DVD from Microsoft, but it is for Ultimate 64, service pack 1.  When I try to install the upgrade, it indicates that the choice of upgrade is disabled.  Do I need to uninstall service pack 2 before the upgrade?  If so, where can I get instructions on how to do it?

    Yes, you must uninstall it.

    Here are the General Info for your problem, I wrote up some time for this:

    I have a computer with an OEM Vista Home Premium 64-bit version installed. I bought Vista Ultimate Upgrade 64-bit and when I try to upgrade instead of clean install I not give me the option to upgrade. Instead, I can install a clean install and lose all programs, settings, I have on my system that has taken a lot of time.  Why the copy I bought directly from the microsoft.com site does not my upgrade, even if it is the version upgrade of Vista? I want to be able to do things such as distance to this computer and the Premium version does not allow me.

    Thank you

    If this is a good DVD of Vista from Microsoft, will give you the Option to upgrade.

    You start him, you do an upgrade of a race and a Vista version active.

    Just watch out for the Service Pack levels, which have fixed before upgrade Option appears:

  • Windows 7 Home upgrade Vista Home Premium installation

    After you run the compatibility test, I bought a new Windows 7 Home Premium, disabled all viruses or other programs of security and attempted to start the installation.  The initial 'investigation' indicates the presence of "PerfectDisk" which he said I had to uninstall before upgrade installation can begin.  However, I don't have this program on my computer, or anything related to defrag some defrag program that accompanies the computer HP G60 - I can't identify or remove if I wanted to.  I don't know yet how to disable (only can adjust daily/weekly/monthly sync settings, etc.) and do not know what is the name of the program.  All other programs seem to agree for installation to occur.  Is there a way around this problem, as the software will not attempt to load/upgrade as long as this "Perfect Disk" program is visible during the early investigation.

    Ideas or suggestions?

    Look under C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x 86) If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista for all records related to the Raxco PerfectDisk, then delete.

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/976552

    Andre Da Costa.

    Thanks for your very useful suggestions and stick with me on this issue.  I think it has now been resolved.  I saw another post about problems after installing Windows 7 as an upgrade to Vista and read setting up installation PerfectDisk maybe stay in Program files, after that the program is uninstalled.  So, I went to Program files and seen everyone without finding any PerfectDisk anywhere.  However, several years ago, I used PCMover and when I clicked on this program, three files Raxco were still present.  I have now deleted them and will continue the installation of Windows 7 now - that is why, one of these files must have included remnants of PerfectDisk or an earlier version of a defragmentation program.

    So, let's see how the upgrade installation is progressing, but at least it is moved in front of the roadblock. »

    Thanks for your help - invaluable for someone without experience.

  • New computer without OS. Have Win98 OEM, upgrade XP Home Edition, and upgrade Vista Home Premium software.

    I entered the confusion there is trying to install the software above in the obviously logical order of about 18 months.

    I was puzzled by the comment of the information for the purpose (I don't remember exactly) that Vista could not be installed because its ranking system is different from XP.

    I "solved" the problem by buying the full version of Windows 7.

    Is there a way I could have installed upgrading Vista - IE an upgrade of an upgrade?

    I ask because I do the same thing again.

    I don't know which comment you are referring to-XP and Vista can use the same file systems (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS).

    Windows 98 won't probably install or run on a new computer.  Here's how you might have used the upgrade of Vista:

    1. Start from the family XP Edition upgrade disk.
    2. When the installation process asks you a qualifying version of Windows, insert the Windows 98 CD.
    3. Once the installation is complete, start Windows XP.
    4. Insert the Windows Vista upgrade disk and do the upgrade.

  • iPod (Nano) not listed is not in Explorer or iTunes after upgrade (Vista Home Premium 32 bit to 7 Home Premium 32 bit)

    I took the advice of Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and uninstalled iTunes before the upgrade and then re-installed after.  Now my iPod no longer appears in the Explorer or iTunes, but iTunes has shown once after having been unplugged , offers that it has been corrupted and that it needed a software reset.

    The fact iPod appears in disk management and if I manually assign a drive letter the file structure seems intact and I can manually play the mp3 files.

    Device Manager (under portable devices) poster 'WPD filesystem Volume driver ' with an exclamation icon and the status of the device "this device cannot start. (Code 10) ».

    In devices and printers, I have "Apple iPod USB Device " (with the exclamation mark icon) under devices and "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver " under Unspecified.

    Apple iPod USB Device - functions of the device:

    • WPD file system Volume driver
      on UMBus enumerator
      This device cannot start. (Code 10).
    • Apple iPod USB Device
      on the USB mass storage device
      This device does not work correctly.
    • USB mass storage device
      This device does not work correctly.

    My computer about a month and more than the specifications for the performance of iTunes.  I tried to uninstall all the Apple software and reinstall from scratch.  I tried this after deleting the WPD entry and experienced in obtaining iPod detected prior to installation and after.  Any of these solve the problem.

    I just installed the latest (9.0.2.25) update to iTunes, but that did not help either.

    Another thing I noticed that may apply, is that if you upgrade iTunes once a connection failed to the iPod, the installation stops at where he is "stopping services...." ».  Audit Services shows that the iPod Service stops, but he never does and a reboot is required to reach a State where it cannot be stopped.

    Well, it was logical that since it was Windows that had changed and not the iPod or iTunes and the error was on a Microsoft driver, I should ask about it here.

    I had already followed all the instructions I could find Apple on the uninstalling and reinstalling, but lucky I did it all again.

    I tried to plug the iPod with No Apple software present and got the same error WPD.  Hmm... weird, Windows should not see it as a USB key?

    I tried to plug in my old iRiver T10 and saw the same mistake WPD, but Windows it mapped to a drive letter and showed its content.

    Reinstalled iTunes, but it has not always worked.

    Then I asked myself what would happen if I assigned manually a drive letter in disk management... all of a sudden, everything works!

    So what's happening?  My guess is that Windows is trying to use a drive letter that has already been used by another reader.  Or maybe just do not assign one at all.  I see no reason why he would do this.  I checked carefully assigned drive letters and they are all the same as they were in Vista.

  • Satellite A200 - Vista Home Premium to ultimate upgrade

    Hi back from the guy with a new query.

    "" I'm looking to upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate... checked the requirements of what is known on the "Windows anytime upgrade" site and I can you there is a lot of conflicting ideas on how its all done up to the fact that I would need a disc to upgrade mailed to me.

    Only the so-called "rescue disk" provided with the purchase, IE the Windows operating system disk... ALL CONTAIN THE ' VISTA "SYSTEMS AVAILABLE..." Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate? and very unlikely, but she coded upgrade or anything like that, as its meant to be to perform upgrades?

    Thanks a lot again in anticipation of your kind comments

    Andrew.

    Firs of all I think you should know that it is a forum for users and to my knowledge, there is no guy from Toshiba which could provide instructions.
    I know, it's, your Toshiba Recovery DVD contains the same Win Vista that was preinstalled on your laptop.
    It seems that you bought this laptop with Vista Home Premium and this operating system should be placed on the recovery media.

    Please DON t mix the Toshiba Recovery DVD with a DVD of new, original and clean Microsoft Vista.
    Toshiba Recovery contains an image include the OS, drivers, tools and additional software.
    It s already active.

    The MS Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista but to use a version of Vista that a right serial key must be inserted.

    Hope I could make a clarification.
