I can install the full version of Windows 7 Professional on my computer Vista Home Premium? If so, how?
I bought a full version of Windows 7 Professional to install on my Vista Home Premium computer. I tried to reformat my Vista drive in a right click on the C drive and select "format", but I get a message that I can not format this drive. Help!
Thank you
Darlene
Here is the Vista Forums.
You have to boot from the Windows 7 disc to do a clean install.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

The full version of Windows 7 Professional.
I had W7 Home Premium on my PC which gave me the choice to use the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version.
Now, I bought the full version of W7 professional which comes with 2 discs. 64 bit & 32 bit. I loaded the 64-bit program that is good, but how do I get the 32 bit version to load as well, as I had on Home Premium?
I found a 32-bit file that contains very many files, but I don't know how or what to do to access this 32-bit folder.
Do I have to use the 32-bit disk?
I have Virgin Media security but it does not work on 64 bit, but on the Home Premium, which took the 64 & 32 I had no problem.
Help please.
Thank you
Ali
No, the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is exclusively for use with the disc 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely. If you want to install Windows 7 32 or 64 bit on another partition or another computer, you must purchase an additional license.

Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 that I would use the edition update for Windows XP?
Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 to upgrade Windows XP with a custom installation, as I would with Windows 7 Upgrade Edition if I want? (If I decided that I would rather clean the entire hard drive so I can use the full Version of Windows 7 without the need of Windows XP or Vista)

Reinstall the full version of windows 7
Hello
Can I install the full version of windows 7 Home premium if im already running service pack? I had to get my hard drive replaced with a
engineer, when he went to reinstall my vista I couldn't find the disk to place in windows 7 that he had, which I was very satisfied!
Until I got a screen message saying "windows 7 build 7601 this copy of windows is not genuine" I didn't have the product key! so I know that I have to buy
a full version which doesn't bother me I did, but it can I buy and download from Microsoft and just install without problem?
Any help would be appreciated with gratitude
Thank you
This is the product key that determines whether you have a full or upgrade version. If what you bought was a version upgrade then press have you cannot install the upgrade license which means you must start the installation from a previous version of qualification of Windows Vista or XP.

Hello
The product key you use to install could be a volume license key, you can contact your network administrator to download the iso from this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and install the W8. The W8 will be key during the installation or is installed with the default key that will work for 30 days. If it is installed with a default key, you can change the product key with the suite of measures
-Run as administrator command line
-Enter the following commandslmgr.vbs-ipk TYPE-YOUR-KEY-RIGHT-HERE
-Now go to the properties of your computer and click on activate Windows.She's... You are finished with the activation of new volume Windows8 license.
For more information you can refer to the answer for the next post

I installed the full version LavVIEW 8.6. I tried to upgrade to the professional version 8.6 by simply installing the new disks, and it didn't perform the upgrade. First, I have to uninstall and reinstall, or is there a trick?
Look in the License Manager in the National Instruments of your Start menu folder. This is probably just a matter of activating LabVIEW 8.6 and maybe some other features with your new code license rather than your previous full version license code.

I tried to install the OEM version of windows 7, but after "successful installation" restart the computer and it posts, I see the Windows logo, preparing for the first time use... Nothing that he stops, then reeboots.
My characteristics are the following: I have a motherboard ASUS P5KPL-CM, processor E5200 Intel Duo Core, 4 GB RAM, 1.5 TB hard and a Radeon HD 4870 graphics card. I built myself this PC. It was Windows XP, but I formatted the hard drive to do a clean install, so now I we a Creek so to speak. Help please?
So I fixed it!
I do not know what was causing the boot loop, but the solution was simple. I removed my second hard drive, my video card and 2 GB of ram. I've heard say that windows 7 like no more than 2 GB of ram to install. I reinstalled from the disk, and all is well. If anyone else has this problem, it's worth a try. -
