• Do I have to upgrade my Vista to 7 to qualify for free Win 10.

  Hello:

  We are currently under Vista Home Premium w / svc pack 2 on an HP Compaq.  The computer easily exceeds the Win 10 system requirements!

  We also HP released discs to upgrade to Win 7 operating system (which we did not).  We'll have to switch to Win 7 in order to get the 10 free win?

  HP upgrade instructions say Win 7 OS is an upgrade and Microsoft product key on our computer will still remain for the Vista operating system.

  Disks have proof by Microsoft tag license (product key) on them.  Will be us always qualify for free Win 10?

  Thank you - Ray and Carol Angelo

  Yes CarolAngelo,

  the upgrade to windows 10 would be provided for computers running only Windows 7,8.1.

• vulnerability in cursors animated after upgrade to vista

  Hello

  recently I have been upgraded from vista to windows 7 and I read about a "cursor animated remote vulnerability of windows runtime code" that affect users of vista.

  (vista users already enjoy a http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=D8B0E65C-5B41-46EB-92DF-0B062CFCDEEC&displaylang=en patch) - but in case where someone updated level vista to windows 7 without previous install this hotfix security, is the system vulnerable to this kid of attack?

  If so, is there a patch for windows 7? (rename these sliders will solve the problem?)

  Please advice

  When you upgrade Vista to Windows 7, all the Vista files are replaced with files from Windows 7.  So no, you're not still vulnerable to attacks of Vista Basic.

  Can I use the Vista license that I have just upgraded to windows 7 Upgrade a computer is currently using XP?

  Lol when you upgrade you send upwards with a license, not two. The license of Vista is subsumed in Windows 7 one and can no longer be used. This is the reason for which an upgrade is cheaper than licensed full.

• I have two old desktop computers running Windows XP and want to upgrade to Vista

  I tried the windows 7 Advisor and he said I'm going to need a professional installation.  Just trying to see if I can optimize these to give to a women's shelter.  I want to upgrade, but don't have to.  Is there any where that I can at least a scanner to check if vista is compatible?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Vista Upgrade Advisor is no longer available.

  That's the only advice we can give you to see if you can upgrade to Vista:

  «Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Vista drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.»

  If not available, Vista will not properly work for you. »

  "System requirements for Windows Vista"

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/919183

  But the minimum requirements of Microsoft are just that, minimum.

  To begin, I would double the recommended amount of RAM for a machine that works efficiently and at a reasonable speed.

• I have a comp with windows Vista Home Basic 2007 Office. Can I upgrade to vista home premium? too many things are not compatible with windows 7.

  This upgrade to vista family premium is still available? is this useful? How much would it cost?

  where do I go to windows 7 and just deal with incompatible programs?

  or just forget it and leave it as it is until I can afford a new?

  * I just did a full factory restore, which helped.

  but when I reinstalled the operating system, it wouldn't let me put in the same primary place on drive C?

  I had to put it in a secondary partition and it saved a lot of old stuff and labeled "old windows"?

  I do not understand why it does this. is there something in the old system files I need?

  cause the entire purpose of the restoration was to get rid of all that. now, I have essentially 2 copies taking up room.

  because he saved much of the old system files, there's no enough space in the main square.

  Do you think I can manually remove the "old windows" copy C drive without doing any harm to the computer?

  I did enter and delete all of the photos and docs & downloads which he recorded, that I didn't, with no negative consequences.

  but it still has a lot of program/file system I fear not remove.i shouldn't need them... right?

  everything I need should be there since the operating system reinstalled, I just did?

  Help?

  By all means delete the windows.old folder.  Use disk cleanup.  You will find a box to check the detached, although it will not be called "windows.old" specifically.

  It seems that your computer has a recovery partition.  You would not be able to install.

  As for Home Premium, Yes, you can switch to HP.  If you can still find a copy.  Vista Express upgrade is no longer available since Vista is no longer available at a retailer.  However, you can find a copy on eBay.  Make sure you buy a retail copy and not an OEM copy.  You will not be able to update an OEM copy.  No matter if the copy of detail you find is a copy of full or upgrade license.  You'd still be able to do an upgrade in place with one or the other.

  I have windows vista Home premium. How upgrade to Vista Ultimate in India?

  Are you talking about changing the language of Hindi?  If the language you want does not appear in the optional updates in Windows Updates, then you can buy a copy of Windows in the language you want and reinstall Windows.  You can not upgrade.  You will need to do a clean install.

• Windows crashed, no disc to Setup xp disk need help to upgrade to vista or windows 7 (have keys)

  Crashed my windows and I do not have the vista installation disc so I used my brothers windows xp disk to install it and am hoping to upgrade to vista. Also, I bought windows 7 a week ago but could not install before my computer crash, so ideally, I'd like to get this performance as well. I have two keys for vista and 7, but I don't have the installation diskettes. Thanks for the help.

  Hello

  You can simply use your brother XP and then upgrade to Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• HP pavilion dv6-1030us with windows vista 64 bit have now upgraded to windows7 32 bit.

  HP pavilion dv6-1030us originally with windows vista 64 bit have now upgraded to windows7 32 bit. MIC is unable to send sound in Skype after upgradation.

  Hello

  Try the following.

  First, uninstall Skype and when it is finished, restart the laptop.

  When windows has reloaded, download and reinstall the Chipset driver here.

  Once the installation is complete, restart the laptop.

  Let windows load completely, then download the installer of IDT Audio on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp45001-45500/sp45044.exe

  One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

  When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery, connect the power adapter and start Notepad.

  Let Windows load fully, then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

  Reinstall Skype and see if the MIC now works Ok.

  Kind regards

• Accidentally purchased Windows 7 Upgrade from Vista but they have XP

  I have Windows XP.

  I made a custom from the disc of Windows 7 Setup, but it is designed for Vista upgrade only. Bought by mistake off Newegg, my mistake.

  Product key is not accepted because Vista 7 has not been installed.

  Is there a way to get around this?

  I'm out of luck and will have to buy the full version?

  Thank you!

  As far as I know, there is no product that you are inferring that you have (a media/product Windows 7 upgrade key for Windows Vista upgrade system based only).  You need to simply (by design) perform a clean installation of Windows XP to Windows 7.

• I've upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista on a Tablet PC and have since upgraded to Windows 8. Can I re-use the upgrade of Windows 7 on an another Vista PC?

  I have a Tablet PC originally shipped with Vista installed. I've upgraded to Windows 7 disk 3 license and have since upgraded to Windows 8 with promo code I got when purchasing a new office.

  Can I reuse the license to move an other PC from Vista to Windows 7, since the upgrade to Windows 8 would have been valid for a Vista upgrade?

  Yes, you can transfer the license of Windows 7 on another computer. Why, because the basic license is Windows Vista.

• If you have upgraded from vista to windows 7, you can then upgrade to windows 8

  If you have upgraded from vista to windows 7, you can then upgrade to windows 8

  Yes, Windows Vista and Windows 7 can be used as a qualification of licensing. The upgrade to Windows 7 you will preserve both your personal files, settings and installed applications.
