Home installation of XP on Vista 64 Ultimate VPC, activation issues
I have the motherboard Intel & CPU (Intel Core 2 Quad CPU) running Vista Ultimate 64, I installed from the CD. Previously used some XP software (Lotus 123 and Word Pro and Word Perfect & Quatro Pro) not to operate smoothly in the installer with Vista, or Vista is best MS OS I have used to date. I studied MS Virtual PC 2007, installed on the desktop and it works well. I installed XP Home and the incriminated on virtual PC and all software works better than ever and I don't have to convert one hundred archived files I need little frequent access to because they have been created there with these programs from 10 to 15 years because the PC is "networked" to the Vista machine to transfer files but is not exposed to security issues by avoiding the internet connection.
There's a rub. XP Home comes from a CD that I provided by Dell with a PC, I have purchased from them in 2000 ~ It was shipped on a CD of the operating system with the computer and twice, 2003 & 2006, I had to erase completely the C drive and pure install the operating system. Both times I've been required to product key entry and when installing a semi automated of registration took place via internet. When I used this same CD to install XP on Virtual PC, never asked me the product key. At the end of installation, I was directed to activate the product, either via the Internet, phone or delay, but after 30 days, software (XP) would not work. Because I choose not to have V PC connected to the web, I chose the method of telephone connection and followed. At the end of the process a direct tech said that it was not a valid copy of XP.
I have not used XP provided by Dell, as I booted Vista box, then how the hell is the software I've bought from them no not a valid copy. What viable alternatives can I, if, before the purchase of another Internet licensed XP software?

I bought a HP laptop with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 64 in April 08. If I buy a Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade, SKU: GLC-00184, I'll be able to upgrade to windows 7 Home Premium x 64 or Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?
The http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7?T1=tab02 table seems to indicate that would be the case. On the other hand, it does not seem logical that we could move from Vista Ultimate or vVsta HP to Win7 Ultimate for the same price.
Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, you can make a place in Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate.
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.

Code GFC symbolizes the product depending on the location in most cases and in some cases, this has to do with the versions.
The GFC-00019 is a commercial container 32 and 64-bit disk operating system version. TheGFC-00564 is a 32 bit OEM version. A commercial version can be installed on any computer. But always alone at the same time. But if you install on a computer (and then he got damaged without repair possible) and then I bought another you can install it on the new computer.
An OEM copy can only be installed on computers. If this computer got far beyond repair that you can not use it again as with the retail version. You can install the OEM as many times as you like on the original computer.

To do as it says, the on-screen instructions are clear, and you should ALWAYS back up the data before making any major changes.

HP Pavilion. It came with 64 bit Home; I have W - 7 64-bit Ultimate. It is:
I have a Win 7 Home premium 64-bit on the new HP, I just bought.
If I insert the W - 7 Ultimate/64 bit disc and cold start, it will attempt a "clean installation?" I don't want this option.
If I warm the ultimate 64-bit disc start, then he will present me with an option to keep the old files. I am aware of that.
But the question is do I need a new license key for the last month or it will work with the old key for Home Premium HP supplied with installation?
I got the ultimate from Microsoft as part of the Windows 7 launch party I wanted to my home. It was once installed on a new gateway computer. I returned it to the store for problems non repairable mobo and the ATU. 7 Win was on their hard drive. Therefore, the installation key went with the gateway.
I still have the drive to Win 7 signature edition / 64-bit with me. The same disc will allow me to install it again on the new HP Pavilion with the same license key that I used on the front door? Of course, I bought HP to another bank. So the hard drives cannot be exchanged from the gateway to the HP. I think that even if I did, it won't work because of the chipsets change.
Any help on how to make the Home Prem upgrade (64-bit) ultimate (64-bit) will be appreciated.

You can start only an upgrade of Windows, then it restarts and you can choose to upgrade or perform a clean installation... And then you will need to use the Windows 7 Ultimate product key to activate/use it. You can install it again... The worst that will happen is you will have to take 5-10 minutes on the phone Microsoft if the key is not automatically activate via internet.

If your Windows XP license is OEM, it only could be installed on a PC and could not transfer to another PC. In the case of FPP, which is in the package, this is possible. If your license if full package your could try to activate by phone. Try contacting Microsoft support in your country.
