  Yes, as long as Vista is still installed on the hard drive you can use a copy of Windows 7 upgrade to upgrade your computer but you will need to boot the computer with the Windows 7 dvd and perform a custom installation.  Which will remove all your programs and data so there will be very practical backups.

  The best option is to repair Vista first.

  Before dismiss you the idea of buying a copy of the full license of Windows 7, remember that it would be transferable to a new computer much more easily that an upgrade copy is.

• I have an oem ultimate windows 7 and stepped disc course he his still used as for my children, I have built several pcs

  So I wonder how can I know if this OEM windows 7 disc is used by another computer can I ask Microsoft to see its assets before I install it in a PC version?

  The fact is, its used, as you said, it has been used on several PCs in the past.

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

• I have reason to believe that my PE13 program is corrupted.  If I buy the new version 14.0, does include the full program and the new so it could heal any damaged I have?

  I have reason to believe that my program EP 13 is corrupt in some critical ways.  If I buy the upgrade version 14.0, does include the full program or just the news.  If it includes the full program, I expect to "heal" my corruptions when I download it.  I know you will ask me how my PE 13 program is corrupted.  I'm ready to respond.

  First 14 elements (whenever its output is complete at the global level) is a stand-alone product. It should contain the editor first items 14 and 14 elements Organizer and all the features Adobe wanted in it (new and old to 14). It should have nothing to do with the performance of the elements first 13/13.1. There is no guarantee that your favorite features of 13 will not have been deleted in 14.

  What are the first item 13/13.1 signs and symptoms pointing you to believe that the program is corrupted? What are some critical ways you are talking about? What operating system are you currently using?

  In the circumstances, consider the 14 tryout before purchase. Think of it as a troubleshooting tool

  a. If the 14 works and 13 does not work, then 13 has the problem

  b. If 14 and 13 do not work, then the computer is your target for troubleshooting.

  Looking forward for more details

• How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  How can I reinstall Windows XP?  I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records.  I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM.  It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hello

  If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

  It is part of the upgrade process

  and also read this on licensing rules;

  If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

  The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

• I have just updated to Windows 7 and when I try to run a backup they fail.

  I have just updated to Windows 7 and when I try to run a backup they fail.  It seems that whenever a program tries to update the external HARD disk where backups reside it requires administrator permissions.

  Looking at the options Microsoft suggest that their user account control system is not supported by my version of SyncToy. What can I do? I'm looged administrator

  As you have installed SyncToy until you have created the required permissions, uninstall SyncToy, reboot, then reinstall SyncToy.

  Hello

  Clean, install your Windows 7 Media 7 or restore the Windows 7 System Image that you did before upgrading Windows 8.

  If you don't have that:

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

  If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.
