• Upgrade from Vista Ultimate 32 bit to Windows 7 Home Premium

  I'm running a GM 5424 Gateway System I bought with Vista 32 Ultimate on it.    A year ago I bought the dvd of Windows 7 Home Premium at Wal-Mart.    Can I do a upgrade in place without having to reinstall all my programs application?   I understand the Win 7 Upgrade advisor a few programs may not be compatible and is not a problem.

  I was wondering if the upgrade in place is available for this combination or to I need to do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)     Whether it is a new installation or an upgrade in place, I also know that I have several days of Windows updates for Windows 7 until the current patch level, since the OEM Win/7 disc includes only through SP 1.    I have other computers (laptops) running Windows 7 and 8 to win.

  My PC has a 500 GB drive and I've upgraded to 8 GB of memory in a couple of years (I realize the 32 bit OS does not use everything), but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 since my CPU and hardware will support it.   I've already replaced my NIC with a compatible card Win/7.

  I already intend to have at least 2 backups made to two different USB 1 terabyte disk drives and also will have all of my data backed up online via BackBlaze.

  Please notify.  Thanks in advance!

  Yes, no problem, as long as you stick with 32-bit Windows. And almost
  all the programs will be compatible.

  or that I must do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)

  but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 because my processor and hardware will support it.

  However, it is not possible to change the number of 'bits' of Windows, of
  32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa. The only way to get there is what you
  Dread - a new installation.

  Another point: Windows 7 is now two generations old. As far as I am
  concerned, she brings more much sense to upgrade to a young person of these
  Version. I recommend going to 10 Windows instead.

• Office Ultimate 2007 guard Assembly and re - configure any time, I try to use Outlook 2007 after upgrading from Vista Ultimate 32 bit to Win 7 Ultimate. Something is definitely wrong with Outlook 2007 and Windows 7

  There must be a fundamental incompatibility between Win 7 and Outlook 2007. It would be nice if Microsoft looked into this right away and immediately corrects before we start trashing Win 7.

  Hello oguchi,.

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Office 2007, including Outlook 2007 are compatible with Windows 7.

• Try to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the upgrade feature.

  Trying to upgrade from Vista Ultimate 64-bit of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The installation of the programs continues to telling me to uninstall Trend Micro 2008. I never had 2008 on this computer. I didn't 2009 and upgraded to 2010, which is compatible with Windows 7. I uninstalled 2010, but the Windows 7 install program keeps telling me to uninstall Trend Micro Internet Security 2008. I used the uninstall of Trend Micro tool and also the Windows Installer Clean up. Still no luck. I've even went into the registry and remove any mention of Trend Micro. Still no luck. So, now what. I don't want to do a clean install. If I have to do, I'll stick with Vista. Looks at MAC ad is correct!

  Problem solved by a tech Trend Micro, which ran to remove several tools then had me into Safe Mode to delete a folder in Documents and Settings above. I'm now running Windows 7. Thank you!

  Hello

  already made an update of the BIOS? It would be useful, maybe it s just because the BIOS does not correctly handle the Ultimate. What drivers did you download?

  It s a bit tricky, but I think that if you reinstall, and then put the drivers on it, it should work. Don't forget: Vista Ultimate needs a lot of resources and a bunch of useless stuff that can cause the machine does not properly.

• Satellite P205-S6257: Chicony USB Webcam does not work after upgrade to Vista Ultimate

  I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate Home and now my Webcam does not work. When I tried to update the driver, I get a message that says that Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...

  The installation file forthis training device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

  I succumbed to find the drivers on the Chicony website. My laptop is a Satellite P205-S6257 and the Toshiba is not yet display on their support site. I don't have a disk for webcam.

  Any suggestions?

  I wish more users would use the advanced search for the Toshiba forum because many topics have already been discussed here and the solution was already planned.

• Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 32-bit upgrade. Installation file will not work. The error is described below.

  The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:
  The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running.
  
  I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
  Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?

  Hi Hal K,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.

  If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.

• What can I reinstall/upgrade Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the upgrade CD that I bought?

  Please help me with the steps I must follow to upgrade/reinstall my Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I bought the upgrade CD, but I keep reading that I can't upgrade, I have to re - install.  How do, or have I just wasted my money?

  Thank you

  David

  The two DVD come in the box of Vista Ultimate.  The same upgrade key works for both.  The procedure is to let the 32-bit version on the hard drive for the verification of license and a custom installation will work.  The hardware hash will be the same and the product key is the same for the activation servers to happen anyway as a repair installation.
