• How ti upgrade from 32-bit Home Premium 64-bit

  Built a new quad core PC, I advance and now I want to run the 64 bit version of Windows.  Where can I get the 64 bit version? Can I order it from Microsoft, if yes, where? Are there fees?

  If your 32-bit version of Vista is retail, you can order 64-bit to above link for the cost of shipping.

  If it is OEM, you can buy a 64 bit full license.

  32-bit to 64-bit must be a clean install.

• I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7. Can I install Vista on a second computer and still be legal?

  I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7, which I have installed on Computer1.  Can I install Vista on a second computer computer2 and still be legal?

  Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?

  No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.

  For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.

• New HD - How can I reload the Vista Home premium OS

  My HD crashed, so I bought a new one.  How can I reload the Vista Home premium OS that was on the old HD?

  Hello TomNeumeyer,

  Your computer initially comes preinstalled with Windows Vista HP on this subject, the manufacturer?  If so, you will need to contact them to get an installation disc.  If you have a Setup for Windows Vista HP disk and a product key, simply insert the DVD and start the installation.

  Thank you

• How to make a Win Vista Home Premium PC to operate in "XP Mode"?

  Hello

  My Win Vista Home Premium PC cannot 'see' my Canon Lide 30 Scanner or work with my Canon printer i865. Install the software and drivers on the provided disks not even because of "compatibility issues".

  For this reason the "updates available" on the Canon site (for applications and drivers on the disks) only will be not installed because 'old' versions are not on my pc.

  My pc can 'see' - if that is the right word - my printer in settings, but no further acknowledges that this, and even when the printer is turned on it will not even try to print anything.

  If I can still understand how to get the Vista pc to "run in xp mode" - assuming there is an 'xp mode' for Windows vista to use - this will allow my computer to use the printer and scanner.

  There is nothing really wrong with the printer or scanner while they worked fine with the XP pc.

  Software compatibility problems are more precisely to do with two pilots and the ocr software for the scanner and ALL the drivers and the software of the printer.

  I hope someone can help because I don't want to have to get a different printer/scanner (or upgrade to Win 7 - will this regognise OS my printer and scanner?)

  These options are all too expensive.

  Thanks for any help

  Bob

  Hello Bob,

  Compatibility mode is supposed to help eleviate problems not to cause even more problems :-)

  You can actually get some decent printer/scanner price FRO reasonable combinations of our days. You could try (if in the United Kingdom) is Wilkinson (Wilko) stores; W.H.Smith; and Ryman.

  Another alternative is to dual-boot your server (assuming you have aretail copy of XP). This invloves XP install on another partition on your hard drive. The only drawback is that you would have to boot XP to use your printer (assuming that you keep your current).

  I currently have a brother printer copy Scanner that I bought the Ryman stationery, a few years ago. I only paid about £50 for it at the time. My only problem with the brother machine is that there is no way (on my model in any case) to turn the printer off cleaning option. As the PC and the printer are in my room the printer starts always clean at about 04:00. It is not fun to be surprised into a deep sleep by strange noises coming from the printer :-)

• Why can I switch from Win Vista Home Premium (64) to Win 7 Home Premium (64)?

  I went through all directions and I still stop during the verification of compatibility of the system. Sometimes never really part of the installation. I checked just like other posts in case of a problem, and I can't understand what is wrong.

  Thanks for all the help and suggestions Hula Baloo...  I'll try one at a time. Worst case scenario would be that I have back up all my files and programs and try for a complete install rather than an upgrade... it'll be more work on my part but I have heard it will be a better and cleaner installation... ah... nothing is easy right?

  Thanks again!

• the Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate upgrade error

  I need to upgrade a laptop Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate to connect to a network of MS Server 2008. Home Premium runs on SP2 and I bought an upgrade ultimate retail package which has Ultimate SP1. When I go to install an update (I don't want to erase the old files and OS), I get the following error "upgrade cannot be started, cancel the installation and choose to upgrade to a version of Windows that is newer than the version you are currently using." Roll back the version Home Premium SP1 will allow me to upgrade to Ultimate, or is there something else that needs to be done? Thank you.

  That should do it.

  Here's the General information about your problem:

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.

  Hello and welcome to the Community Forums of Palm.

  Your question is often asked and answered here on the forums.  There is no way to use a USB Hotsync connection with Vista 64-bit desktops.  Your solution is with Bluetooth, as described in this thread stickied near the top of this map.  You can also try a Wi - Fi connection.
