  Hello
  
  What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
  Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
  Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:

  Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

  Hi tomgold,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  This can also occur if an incorrect device driver has been installed for the DVD-ROM device.

  I suggest that you visit the DVD drive manufacturer site download the latest drivers for the drive and install on the computer and if it works. Make sure you download the Windows vista 64-bit driver.

• UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME during the upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista

  I'm getting an unmountable_boot_volume during the upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista.  It occurs after Windows 7 software loads and restarts.  If I restart the computer, I have the option to start the upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows Vista.  If I select Windows Vista, the computer restarts without problem.  If I choose Windows 7 Upgrade, I get the blue screen of death with the unmountable_boot_volume error.  Of course, nothing wrong with the boot volume because Windows Vista starts without error.  The boot drive is 1.5 TB.  Any suggestions on how to accomplish the upgrade to Windows 7?

  Original title: Windows 10 upgrade options

  It will be possible to choose the 32-bit or 64-bit during the upgrade to Windows 10 no matter what version you currently have? I know there are problems with the upgrade a 32-bit version on 64-bit directly, but it is possible to install 64-bit and have a backup installation files in the Windows.old folder.

  If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows 7 and you want to migrate to 64-bit Windows 10, you will need to download the 64-bit Windows 10. ISO and make a custom installation:

  Hello

  I HAV downloaded the ISO file following from the MSDN (en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso) site for the upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

  How should I now improve my OS from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.  Double-click the ISO file says that Windows cannot open the file.  How can I open the file?  Should it be converted into a .exe file.  If so, how?

  Thank you.

  A .iso file is an image of a dvd.  It is not a program or data file.  You need to burn this image on a dvd with your burning program.  Copy disc, burn to disc.  We'll then work the disc in your optical drive.

• Process held during the upgrade to Windows 7 windows.old files

  In the months I have updated Windows Vista to Windows 7.  Unpon update I found the C: drive was almost filled to capacity and had established that about 155 GB of files are now in a folder called windows.old when I saw the C: drive with explore.  I was able to recover some of the files in subfolders: Documents and Favorites and hoped to return to garner extra of the content I rmembered I could use if migrated on space available.  Subsequently, the files: Windows and Windows.old were more visible.  It would be nice to collect a little more elements of the 'old' files, but of equal importance would be the prospect of eliminating the overhead of the files ~ 155GB now unusable.  (1) how I see these files?  (2) how can I erase what I don't want when I see it?  (3) is there a risk to just delete the program files that are stored in the Windows.old folder?
