___Help send for free Windows 7 upgrade version Windows Vista Home

I have problems to send for the free upgrade to windows 7 from vista, I bought a new compaq computer last yr. Someone gave me a free version of windows 7 to be sent to me as long as I apply before February 2010.

But when I go to enter the codes that they need on the site (windows update), in that I can't find the right codes on my receipt or the box that my computer has been delivered.

I tried with the codes they use on the site, but they do not seem to work.

Does anyone have the correct codes, I need or can you tell me where to find them on the box / receipt?

For new PC purchases, look for a Windows 7 Upgrade bid form in the package provided with your PC for redemption details. If you find any information on how to get the upgrade, contact the PC manufacturer if you purchased an eligible PC. It is very important that you keep the form that comes with your PC purchase. A good place to start the search for PC manufacturer contact information is on our Windows 7 upgrade Option page.

  • Need for basic Windows Vista Home Edition recovery media

    I lost my windows vista home basic DVD. I have my key windows vista with me. can I get a duplicate dvd or can I use another dvd with my cd key?

    Read the info below re borrow a Vista DVD.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How to add the DVD RW drive in the Menu "send to" in Windows Vista Home Premium

    "I can't copy a document or an image on a DVD or CD because the ' send to ' ' menu does not have any CD or DVD drive.

    No guarantee... but the following article may be worth a visit:

    The CD drive or the DVD drive is missing from the shortcut menu "send to".
    and in the tab property by car after you erase a disc on
    a computer that is running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/974913/en-us

    FWIW... it may be worth trying to add a shortcut to DVD - RW drive
    in your folder "send to."

    See the following link:

    Customize the Windows 7 or Vista send to Menu
    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/customize-the-Windows-Vista-send-to-menu/

    To create the shortcut... go to... Start / computer... right click
    the drive letter of your DVD - RW drive, and then in the menu
    Choose "create shortcut". The shortcut will probably
    sent to your desktop. By dragging the shortcut to your ' send

  • Bluetooth doesn't work does not correctly after the installation of Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 (SP2) on Dell laptop

    I searched this forum and almost all resources on the net for days now nothing works.  Give the message to a thread more appropriate that I couldn't find one that is truly representative and am a newb at this.

    Summary of the problem: Bluetooth connectivity does not work properly after the window Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and 2 installation (SP 1 and 2).

    My system:

    Laptop Dell Inspiron E1705, 32-bit Winows Vista Home Premium SP2, Dell Wireless Bluetooth 355 Module + EDR 2.0

    * My system was purchased in 2006 with Windows XP, but was not entitled to a free Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade I did. I installed Windows Service Pack 1 and 2 about a week ago.

    Problem: After downloading and installing the Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and 2 (SP 1 and 2), my system does not recognize my Bluetooth (a touch of Sprint also) device known as the HTC Vogue.  I stress that I have not had any problems with this device before downloads.  I can't revert to the pre - SP State 1 and 2 because my system restore does not have these points more.

    I have read several posts on various sites about people having similar problems with Bluetooth connectivity after the Vista SP 1 and 2 facilities.  The problem is obviously the need for an updated driver.  I went to the site to download driver Dell and the Blueooth only updates available are the following. (Note: these drivers all date from 2006 and 2007).

    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=RC956904&l=en&s=pub&SystemID=INS_PNT_P4_9400&os=WLH&osl=en&servicetag=&catid=-1&impid=-1&deviceid=12084&libid=5&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&releaseid=R159805&formatcnt=1&vercnt=1

    I had these installed before the SP 1 and 2 have been installed and they worked very well. After the upgrade, these drivers do not work.  They won't recognise BT devices.  I tried to upgrade the drivers by using update Broadcom suggested below it, but an error of following installation to contact Dell.

    http://www.Broadcom.com/support/Bluetooth/update.php

    I contacted Dell via e-mail and on the phone, but they want to charge me $60 for a one time service call just to talk about the problem because my warranty has expired. Provide updated drivers is not a problem of security in my opinion.  Even after explaining the situation, their continuous support to just send me the link to download Driver Dell above with out-of-date drivers.  I guess that's what they are charged to do, they do not have to admit a problem of compatibility.  This obviously the same link they would charge $60 to send.  I explained that I need just a Bluetooth Driver from Dell to at least version 6.3.   Needless to say, I will never buy another Dell product.

    On my end, I tried to uninstall my current drivers and then by installing a newer driver to support Gateway (Version 6.2.1.500 for and Acer).  This allows me to install some parts of this update and the update Broadcom. However, it is not a perfect installation and expires after about 90% saying "this update is not for this system" because it is the gateway not Dell to be provided.  Displays the version of the driver on my computer is Version 6.3.5.430 after doing this, but it is not a complete installation and some features are not available.

    Does anyone have experience with this issue? I would like to have a link with some bluetooth drivers generic Version 6.3 type which will allow me to use the Broadcom link to upgrade to the last version that works with Vista SP 1 and 2.

    Thank you for your help.

  • Is there a possibility of upgrade version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 for free?

    I learned from a few sources online that I can get a 'upgrade' for the version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 free. Is this true? Should I participate in forums feedback for Windows, etc. in order to acquire such a valuable product?

    If not, is there another 'economic' way to get a copy of windows 7?

    Really appreciate your time in answering my question.

    Despite what you may have "competent" wrong, there is no "free" upgrade to Windows 7.  You can buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store. Carey Frisch

  • I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7. Can I install Vista on a second computer and still be legal?

    I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7, which I have installed on Computer1.  Can I install Vista on a second computer computer2 and still be legal?

    Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?

    No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.

    For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.

    Hello

    There is no free upgrade to Windows 7.

    There was a special offer to do years back. but this offer has expired for a long time.

    And Microsoft sells more than Windows 7.

    Try Amazon.com.

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
