I have a hp6730b with vista to xp. How can I upgrade to windows 7 on this computer

I need computer upgrade laptop hp 6730 b to Windows 7 or Windows7 Pro.

It came with Vista to xp custom installation

Is this possible and how do I do it.   Thank you

Hello:

It can be easily done by purchasing a version upgrade of Windows 7 retail box.

Home Premium

http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16832116713

Pro

http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16832116714

These packages contain a 32 and 64 bit version of the operating system.

The license may also be transferred to another PC who is eligible for an upgrade, unlike an OEM license.

The problem is having XP or Vista installed on the PC to use the disk.

    When you buy a new computer with a Microsoft Windows OS installed at the factory, it is an OEM version.  Unlike retail versions that you can buy in the store, the OEM versions are no longer valid on the first computer it's installed and activated on.  In addition, the Windows Vista license must stay on the computer, as will be the basis to install an 'upgrade' of Windows 7 version.  Without this license Windows Vista installed, you must rather a license of Windows 7 more expensive "full version". Carey Frisch

    Hello Richard,.

    Thanks for your comments as my friend.

    OK Carey, this brings me to the next question... "Without this license of Windows Vista installed, you'll have rather a license of Windows 7"full version"more expensive."

    After I upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate without the license of Windows 7 more expensive "full version". It is permitted only on this machine too? or is this considered a retail version I own?

    It comes with both 32 bit and 64 bit installs?

    Once again thanks to you both for your time and knowledge, I am truly grateful.

    Peace,

    Tungerz

    If you purchase a Windows 7 Upgrade license it is transferable to another computer as it is a retail license and retail licenses are transferable to different computers.  You can only use one of the levels of two bits (32 or 64) of Windows 7 at the same time.  In other words, you cannot use the license for two computers at the same time, a 32-bit and 64-bit.  It works just like that.
  • Smart touch IQ526: I have a PC model smart touch IQ526. Can I upgrade to Windows 10?

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    Personally, I don't want to do the upgrade.  Why?

    Because HP does not provide drivers for your PC Win10, and if you force the upgrade, you will then be relegated to generic drivers that Microsoft provides. While those who can BE manipulated, if all are not, then you're stuck with hardware that does not completely, as the HP drivers so that the material simply do not exist.

    However, if you are determined to go ahead, you can protect yourself problems upgrade and recovery if, before doing the upgrade, you plan to use a third-party application Imaging/restoration as Macrium Reflect to image your machine off so that you can easily restore it if something does not work.

    Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    My experience is that SIR, when you use the option of Compression high, typically allows to compress the image file recorded at about 50% of the space USED in the OS partition. This means that if you have a 40GB and 80GB OS partition is used, MR must only about 20 GB to store the image file.

    I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.

    In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry. This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    Have fun experimenting with Win10!

    Good luck

  • I have Acrobat 9 Standard at work.  How can I edit a PDF file using this?

    Part of my job is to create a PDF from web pages and then by removing non-essential materials.  But, I have Acrobat 9 Standard.  How can I do this with what I have?

    You can use the text editing tool to remove things. Alternatively, you can redact elements. Do not reflow to work, Acrobat isn't a real editor, but it's simple editing tools to fix simple rises. I would say download HTML source and installation which - appears as a much simpler process. If someone (like a boss) insists that use Acrobat and get a PDF file, then I recommend that you download the HTML editing and then create a PDF file from this edited version. Probably much faster, it can be to learn HTML. Many tools such as in SeaMonkey HTML editor and other tools of the Editor (DreamWeaver is usually recommended) can be used.

  • How can I transfer my Windows XP from one computer brand new without the CD it came with?

    I'll buy a new hard drive for my computer and I want to put Windows XP, Microsoft Office 2007 and Adobe Acrobat on the new hard drive.  I have the product id for XP but not the product key or CD.  Can someone tell me how to proceed?

    The product key for Windows is on the computer. However, don't do you much good if you don't have a way to install Windows. You must have the product key and installation for Office 2007, which is separated from Windows Media. You install Adobe Acrobat your media and product key, they sent you when you bought it.

  • I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?

    The upgrade to Windows XP Professional edition

    I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?  I want to run the iCloud but need a more recent version to do.  Thank you.

    The first thing to do is to download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor--> http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20

    If your hardware and your applications are compatible with Windows 7 (and there are drivers available for your hardware devices) then you can buy a copy of Windows 7 and install it.  You will have to do what Microsoft calls a "custom installation" which is a facility clean Windows 7 in force and which is to format your hard drive.

    Thus, you must first save all your data (files, documents, music, photos, etc.) on another medium (the best is an external hard drive), and then import this into the computer after the installation of Windows 7.  Microsoft is a tool for this called Windows Easy Transfer, but you can use any method you like.

    Also, you must reinstall all of your applications from their original installation media.  If any of these applications has been downloaded, you'll need a copy of the downloaded installation package or a way to re - download.  You must also make sure that you have all your license keys.

    If you go ahead with this, one thing you need to do before your existing XP installation is more usable is to download and run Belarc Advisor (free).  Belarc is mainly intended to let you know if your security patches are up-to-date, it also gives you a list of license keys for a large part of your installed software.

    PS: Don't waste your time with Vista.  If you can not go to Windows 7, stick with XP.

  • 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.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

    Bruce,

    Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?

    If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.

    You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.

    Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad new possible.
