Hi guys my laptop runs on vista home premium... Can I install windows7 inside? Thank you

my computer laptop sistem is the processor intel core duo 2 GHz

If she has a Core 2 Duo processor, it can probably run Windows 7.

System requirements:

* 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

* 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

* 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

* Peripheral figure DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

---------------------------

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.

    There is no vista download for free and legally on the net

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact HP and ask them to send you in recovery vista disc to reinstall the operating system back as it was when new

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    Solve a common problem of recovery with HP machines.
    If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.

  • I have a laptop Lenovo bought in the spring of 2008 running on Vista Home Premium. After years of basically no problem, I got warnings my memory was almost full.

    I have a laptop Lenovo bought in the spring of 2008 running on Vista Home Premium.  After years of basically no problem, I got warnings my memory was almost full.  I'm no computer guy, I'm a retired OTR trucker who now lives for people with disabilities.  I checked my system and found Lenovo had two partitions on the hard drive.  The main logic were my programs were only 30gig on a disk hard 150 gigabytes.

    After talking to some friends who know more then me and research, I copied all my personal files on a stick to 4gig and erased the hard drive.  Spent New Years day adaptation of files, wipe the HD, install Vista again and then 6 and hours of updates.

    Monday, I installed my old files, installed new software and reinstall some of my previous, as well as several updates of Windows.

    Tuesday a finer adjustment and more windows updates.

    Today, Wednesday, right off the bat I installed another Windows update.  Update has been installed, computer shut down, restarted, then the computer stopped at step 1 of 3 @ 97%.  I went for half an hour to come back to an error screen telling me I had a corrupted file and to reinstall Vista and using my factor disc repair system.  I wasn't allowed this option.

    I subsequently through trying different restarts that File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe has been corrupted or damaged or missing Windows update attempt.  Given that I had my Windows disk that I was never worried before making a boot disk.  I/we (family of 6) do not have the financial means to purchase recovery discs, go to a tech help.  We are ourselves.  Can someone help me out here?  Are all my personal details on my laptop, a lot of money and time tied up in programs, I can't access.

    I don't know how this forum works.  My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    P. S.

    With all this, if I have to reinstall windows I better upgrade to a 32-bit on a 64-bit?  This will cause problems with existing programs? I see a noticeable improvement in speed?  I checked and I can't change to 64-bit.

    Hello

    Since you have a Lenovo, you can try to get to WinRE among advanced startup options (f8) and performa than a system restore or if you must organize a drive to install Windows Vista full version and try to perform a system restore in Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.
    For more information, you can consult the following articles:

    No, it will not work.

    Windows 7 anytime upgrade: you have Vista or XP currently installed?

    If the product you have Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' does not allow to move from XP/Vista to Windows 7. You can buy the product at retail of Windows 7 Upgrade not the ' Anytime Upgrade '.

    Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' is for moving from one version of Windows 7 to a higher version, such as Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.

    Hello:

    My parents have a notebook HP G60 - 533 CL running Windows 7 Home Premium OS.

    Are you aware of the issues/incompatibilities with Windows 7 upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10 known?

    Are there elements of Windows 7 which does not support the Windows 10 (e.g., audio, video) on this laptop?

    They installed Office 2007 Home and student version.  It will work with Windows 10 yet?

    I've heard talk about Lenovo ThinkPads crashing 10 Windows when the user tries to access its built-in webcam.

    The webcam on the HP G60 - 533 CL did not work properly when the laptop is released, but about a year later, after an update of the driver had been released.

    Are there drivers... for example, printer, screen, touchpad, etc..  ... which should be upgraded so that this laptop work with Windows 10 ?

    Thank you

    You properly the process.

    Macrium Reflect has instructions on their website showing how to make backups and images.  You have to walk through those before trying anything.

    It is pretty simple as you can, with the examples in front of you, walk someone through it over the phone.

  • Why 2 partitions of OS on HP dv9628 laptop computer under Vista Home Premium?

    I was just checking my wife of the older HP Pavilion dv9628nr under Vista Home Premium with 2 HARD drives.  I didn't even know he had 2 HARD drives.  I opened the case to make sure.

    Here is a screenshot of disk for system management.  I have a few questions:

    1. Why is there a system operating on each HARD drive partition?

    2 are 2 necessary and deleted maybe?

    Generally however, the C: drive is not always your primary. This may change if based on the installation program. The installer in this book, could be Raid. This is where the 2 drives are used to create a combined drive. Based on the laptop being adverstised as a drive of 240 GB, but with 2 120 GB drives in it. This is most likely how it was setup. To know for sure you'd have to check to see if this feature is enabled in the BIOS.  Before you change any settings that you would like to make sure that you have recovery discs and backed up all the content. As having the OS on a single disk, you will need to disable Raid in bios and probably to format both drives. Then reinstall the operating system on you get (the one listed as C:, to avoid complications).

    This article (from ehow.com) can help with your Bios check, so that you can see if Raid is enabled and if you choose to disable. How to disable Raid BIOS

  • Windows Mail Server errors 0x800ccc67, 0x800ccc90 & 0x800ccc19 running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, Windows Mail v.6.0.6000.16386 and Avast v 7.0.1466 the two sending & receiving

    Hello and thank you for taking the time to review my problems and for any help you can offer.

    I am running Vista Home Premium, Windows Mail 6.0.6000.16386 and free AVAST version 7.0.1466 program v.  When searching for error codes that I receive, I can see this is perhaps a problem with the anti-virus software, but no one says how to solve problems.

    First error: your (or SMTP/POP3) server has not responded in 90 seconds.  You want to wait 90 seconds for the server to respond?   It doesn't matter if I have a bit of waiting time or even increase the time-out threshold.

    Error number: 0x800ccc19, 0x800ccc67 & 0x800ccc90

    Limit of simultaneous connections in outdated Avast.  (Col: 0, process;) WinMail.exe [50]); port 25, Server (SSL): no, Server error 421

    I posted this same message on the Forums of Avast at: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=104561.0, but have not received the answers.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to provide.

    Thank you
    M8TriX

    Glad to hear it's fixed. This is probably the feature analysis of Avast and most of the other AV e-mail programs. Keep the following in mind that if this happens again.

    It is safe to turn off the analysis of e-mail messages. See:

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email:
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Disable the email option in your antivirus scanning software:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And it is from Symantec, but applies to all anti-virus programs.

    From:
    http://snipurl.com/bmf6

    My computer is always protected against viruses if I disable e-mail analysis?

    Disable e-mail analysis won't let you without protection against viruses that are distributed as attachments to email. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans incoming files as they are saved on your hard drive, email and attachments to emails. Scan to email is just another layer on top of that. To make sure that Auto-Protect provides maximum protection, keep active Auto-Protect and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus definitions.
