    I have a Vista Ultimate 32 bit legtitimate, I've never used and I want to upgrade to a legitimate Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  Is it possible to do it and how?

    John

    During the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit, you must do a clean install.  You can transfer most of your settings via the windows Easy Transfer Wizard, but you will need to re - install all the applications.

  • How can I move from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 hp? Is it better to buy the software disk or download the software?

    My Hp Pavilion Elite M9340F desktop PC was the best computer I've ever owned five computers desktop and portable three. Not only use the personal media drive Bay and two bays of lightscribe disc, I upgraded the video card and the power supply because I run also three external hard drives more (which actually a total of six hard drives run continuously).  I want to spend all or just possibly the main hard drive and Windows 7 Home Premium personal multimedia hard disk.  Is it better to buy the disc or download the software?  In addition, how is it difficult to make the switch?  Even with good backups, I have heard horror stories of losing part or all of the files or have things so scrambled that it is almost impossible to find what you are looking for.  ANY help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Mr. w. Dillon * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Hello

    It's always a good idea to have a paper copy of a disc (for resettlement and repairs).

    And Yes, backup all your data as 'can' happen during an upgrade that is supposed to be easy.

    This is a very good guide for what you want to do:

    Make sure you go from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit to be able to do an upgrade.

  • Can I switch from Vista Home Premium 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

    I wanted to basically triple - check the compatibility of my laptop current in what concerns the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.

    As a student, I can get windows 7 professional 64 bit for £30. Their moment I'm running a 32-bit version of vista Home premium, and I wanted to confirm my laptop is up to running a 64-bit operating system, and that the upgrade from a 32-bit version of Vista to a 64-bit Windows 7 version is also possible.

    I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, and it is said that everything should be correct regarding my hardware specifications.

    The results of the 64-bit Upgrade Advisor version:

    -"Your graphics card supports Aero de Windows interface.
    -Processor: 2.1 GHz
    -3.0 GB of RAM (I know it's 4 GB but 32-bit vista can not handle the truth)
    -80.7 GB free on C:

    The consultant warn me that I'll have to do a clean install, rather than an upgrade. I'm not worried about it, I can back up my files to an external hard drive.

    What I want to know is, I will certainly be able to upgrade Vista Home Premium 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, with the upgrade kit here http://store.digitalriver.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayHomePage&Locale=en_GB&SiteID=msshgb at the bottom of the page?

    Thanks for your help.

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Upgrade paths:
    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. Also, you can make the 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. Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com

  • How can I switch from Windows Vista to Windows 7

    Original title: Windows 7

    My HP laptop came pre-installed with Microsoft Vista OS. How can I change to Windows 7?

    Hello NareshDadlani,

    You must verify that your hardware of PCs will supports Windows 7, therefore, you must visit the HP site and check that the Windows 7 drivers are available for your PC.

    Windows 7, is of course, is no longer provided by Microsoft, so you can use scouring eBay or Amazon to see if a copy is legitimate is available. Like most of the software there are many out there pirated copies so be wary.

    You can also check if you can run Windows 8.1 instead. This will bring you bang up-to-date with the latest operating system. You can download the Wizard Windows 8 upgrade from this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8 the link to the upgrade wizard is in the second paragraph.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Installed OS was that Home Premium x 64 is now x 86 ultimate. HOW can I go BACK to Home Premium x 64?

    I have a SONY VAIO VGN-FW270J/W;  the installed OS IS Vista Home Premium x 64.  Coincidentally, this is the only Vista OS that is supported by SONY.

    A recent series of unfortunate events with a visit to my friends 'self proclaimed expert PC' home left me with Vista Ultimate x 86 installed on this machine.  I lost a large part of the functionality of the PC as a result.

    If you own a SONY and had all kinds of problems with it, you know very well that the generic Windows drivers are useless.  Graphics Accelerator GONE.  GONE HDMI video.  HDMI audio GONE.  Built to monitor the use of the GONE.  Super mode VGA GONE.  DVD player - Blue Ray combo GONE.  SONY does not support the OS that my friend has installed on my machine after he reformatted it.

    I have wasa able to locate the hidden restore partition which seems to be the x 64 based original Home Premium version, on the dates of the files.

    QUESTION: Using the system recovery utility built into Vista, FULL it is possible for me to return somehow to the x 64 Home Premium version?  I own the license for the operating system that is needed, it came with the system.  I DON'T want to have to buy a new license, nor do I want to move to 7 again.

    IS THAT WHAT I DO FOR MY JOB TO THE MACHINE AGAIN?  ANY ADVICE WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED!

    I look forward to any information that the community can provide for me...

    The recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the manufacturing process to do what you want.

    He was photographed for put your computer back to factory settings (the way that you bought).

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

    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...

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

    Once reinstalled:

    What do you think?

    I put t know what phone you use, but if you can find all the drivers for it on the Toshiba site there s no problem. In the case you're searching on external Web sites for drivers, such as Intel, Realtek, and far.

  • How can I reinstall Windows 7 Home premium on my MSI FX600 OA if the recovery partition does not work?

    So, I bought this laptop MSI FX600. It had Windows 7 Home premium OA (OEM I guess). It also contains a recovery partition.

    After awhile, I had to reinstall windows, so I downloaded an iso of windows, put it on a USB key and reinstalled. but the product key doesn't work though I should be able to use it because it is not used by any other computer. How can I reinstall windows and activate with the product key OEM on the bottom of the laptop? somehow the recovery partition no longer works, so that will not help either. Also, where can I download the iso right for reassembly?

    too bad that I already fixed it. I installed the version English, but anyway my laptop only supports the Dutch version. Thank you for your abundant answers.
