• 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.

  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.

  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

• can I downgrade from vista to windows 98xp

  can you switch from Windows vista to windows xp

  Yes.

  Install Windows XP to the usual. To activate it, you will need to use the phone-in method and explain that you use your right of demotion. The person will guide you through the activation process. You may not use the Vista operating system whose key you use for the XP install on any computer.

  I suspect it's a typo, but just for clarity: Windows 98 and Windows XP are different operating systems.

• 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.

• Re: Can I switch from Vista to XP?

  I now have Vista, but I would change it on XP.

  Is this possible?
  If so, how?

  Why would it not possible to change from Vista to XP?
  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.

  To install XP only, you must boot from the CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

  I'm currently under Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and as you know support has ended. I want windows 8 (because you can update to windows 8.1 free), but is it possible?

• How can I switch from Windows Vista 32-bit for Windows Vista 64 - bit?

  Hello my PC is a 32-bit and I checked and it is expandable to a 64-bit so my? Now this is what to do from here which means I know it is evolutionary, but what do I do now...

  
  
  Please help me understand what I need to do Thks in advance.
  original title: Desktop PC Vista Home Basic...? ..

  On the same hardware, there will be no difference of speed of moving to 64-bit. There are some marginal benefits of security with Windows 64-bit.

  Since at least the five years, almost all of the processors are able to run in 32-bit and 64-bit mode.  See for more information on current processors that work with Windows;

  http://www.Intel.com/en_UK/products/processor/Corei7/index.htm

  http://www.AMD.com/us/products/pages/processors.aspx

  It's really a matter of how much you want to spend for the performance you need. See this for more information on what you will need for a high performance system:

  http://www.TomsHardware.com/reviews/core-I7-3930k-3820-test-benchmark, 3090.html

  You can not simply exchange one processor to another. It must be put in correspondence with the motherboard.

  You are referring to a Vista Home Basic Office. Home Basic is usually installed on low-specification PCs which are not powerful enough to run all of Vista's features.

  If you want to run something like Adobe CS5, you would be probably better off buying a new computer Windows 7 to try to upgrade your existing computer.
