  Hi dear,

  So, what should I do?

  is there a solution for this problem?

  can I upgrade to windows vista proffessional then worms & Prof. without extra cost.

  Please need advise and help

  You can not upgrade to Vista without charge - you would have to pay for the upgrade of Vista (and you can encounter the same problem depending on what version you get).  Here are the valid upgrade paths:http://windows-performance.com/2009/08/13/windows-7-upgrade-path/.  So if you take this path, make sure that you get the right version of Vista, so you don't end up with the same problem again.  It is has also upgraded Vista to Vista paths as well, so make sure you that you consider those as well you're actually able to upgrade Vista to another version of Vista that can be upgraded to the version of Windows7 you (and all keep because if you need to do a complete re-installation you will need all those discs and product keys.

  I would try to return the software to exchange it for a different version where you can upgrade (or a full version where you can do a custom installation without the option of upgrade).  It is about the only other possibility that buy a version appropriate - there is no other solution.  You can't do a custom using a version upgrade of the software - installation it may seem to work, but you will not be able to activate and then you will be unable to use the system.

  Sorry, we can not be more help, but these are the options.  I hope that the store will work with you.

  Good luck!

• installation of windows 7 pro 64-bit will not complete installation. clean install.

  I tried to install windows 7 pro 64-bit and I got all the way to the last part of the installation and the screen goes black for 5 minutes approximately and restarts. then he tries to run windows and the screen becomes black and black rest for at least 30 mins +... is when I gave up on it. What can be wrong? I have overcome all the req and even tried 2 games of motherboard and processor and came to the same problem. I think it's a bad dvd but the store won't Exchange it. They let me just go back. then before I have to send back tomorrow I figured I would give it a try more.

  at this moment I have amd athlon 64 3800 + and 4 GB of ram and I also tried a quad core from amd phenom 2 and 6 GB of ram with the same result.

  Joe can you be more specific, what stage the installation goes on black screen...?

  I had a same problem once and there is a possible resolution to do so,
  If it is in the final phase of installation is mainly due to the video card..,.
  Then restart the computer and keep tapping F8, select "enable Mode low resolution" because the option and now the installation program will continue...
  see if it progresses and ends with the installation by inviting you to enter the user name and password then your product key.
  Once you have finished with these steps and that reach you your office update your video card driver and restart the computer.
  Hope it will work for you :D
  Please let us know if it works :)

• Please specify: can I make Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64 bit) for $40 with a clean install?

  Hiya!

  Looking to upgrade, but I don't want to upgrade in the usual way. I want a clean install.

  I don't want to format the HARD drive and install from scratch. I might even want to buy a SSD and install Windows 8 on my new SSD.

  Basically, is there a way to only pay $40, but get to install it properly?

  Is this ok? He's trying to force me to buy the OEM version?

  How does it work?

  Oh, also, I'm in England so I'll use the UK (£25) version rather than the American version, but it's the same I think.

  I was wondering if it will not work properly or if I have to buy the OEM version, because it does not recognize that I have had Windows 7 originally.

  See you soon!

  Select keep anything during installation is to do a clean install:

  

  Besides being able to keep your Windows settings and personal files, you can keep your personal files too during the upgrade to Windows 7. If you choose No, Windows 8 place your files in a folder named Windows.old. You can delete the Windows.old folder

  How to reinstall Windows 8

  You have two options:

  If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

  Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

  Option 2:

  If you create an installation DVD or a USB bootable, you can use them to reinstall Windows. First, you will need to reinstall license qualification, then begin the upgrade to Windows 8. License of qualification means that you will need to reinstall Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

  Option 3:

  A workaround for this situation is to create a system image of Windows 8, just after you have upgraded. So if your drive plant, you can simply restore the image on a new hard drive or restore the image on the same drive, if you want to reinstall Windos 8.

  See the following for instructions on how to create an image of the installation process of Windows 8:

  (references Windows 7, but the same principles apply to Windows 8).

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft community!

  1. Yes, you can re - install Windows 8 on a different computer.  Before you re-install in another computer, please make sure that you remove Windows 8 to the computer that you have already installed software license terms Microsoft lets a copy must be installed on one computer only.
     To remove Windows 8 of the current computer, you must perform a clean installation of Windows 8. Install with previous operating system drive (Windows 7\ Vista\XP). This removes Windows 8 in the current computer and install the previous operating system.
     Note: You may lose all your data when you perform a new installation, so please back up all data before installing the previous operating system.
     Once you have removed Windows 8 from the current computer, download Windows 8 in the new computer and install. When installing, please provide the same license key that you used during your first installation of Windows 8. You can also find this key in the purchase confirmation email that you received.
  2. As your second question, Windows 8.1 will be a free update for users of Windows 8. Which means, you must have a version of Windows 8 in order to install Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 brings updates for the Windows 8 Pro(or any other Windows 8 version). See the following links to learn more about Windows 8.1:
