I have Windows Vista Business Edition. What I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or can it be any version of Windows 7?
I currently have vista 32 professional and I want to upgrade to windows 7, I understand that I must use windows 7 Professional
is this correct and just use the regular windows 7 pro upgrade disc?
original title: Vista Business 32 - windows 7
If you want to make a room upgrade, you can use Windows 7 Pro 32-bit - you can buy and use the upgrade version. You can also buy Home Premium, but will need to perform a custom installation.
How to upgrade to Windows 7:
If you have Vista:
Update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7
Custom installation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7-custom
Then my computer run Windows 7?
Basic system requirements are listed below. Features have additional requirements.
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
Graphical device DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Run Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you need to install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .
Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:
Back up any files and settings you want to keep
Install Windows 7
Reinstall all your files
Reinstall all the programs you want to use.
These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

On a 32-bit vista business system, what is the right way to recover from a damaged NTLDR file that prevents the system from booting?
Also, is there a powerful device filled, utility like Winternals Windows PE boot, I can download for the resolution of problems like this and others?
Thank you in advance!
Have you had a glance at this startup repair disk?
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
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.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

Memory minimum allocation for Vista Business Edition with Visual Studio 2008 VM?
Long time listener, first time caller...
Please excuse me if this question is answered somewhere else, I tried from Google and it came only with a response that was sort of what I was looking for, but was specific to a Macbook with Fusion...
I want to create a Vista Business Edition (SP1) virtual machine with Visual Studio 2008 (which I think also is delivered with SQL 2005 Dev Edition) and I was wondering what the minimum memory allocation should be for this in order to make it work properly?
Thank you
Jim
Hello and welcome to the forums.
Amount of minimum support from Microsoft for Vista Business is 512 MB and 768 MB or more recommended for Visual Studio. 1280MB is the minimum. Personally, I do not want anything less than 2 GB to a virtual machine with Vista and Visual Studio - 1 GB each.
One of the great benefits of virtualization is that you can start this virtual machine with 1.5 GB and try it. If the memory is not sufficient, then it is simple to give another 0.5 GB to the virtual machine and try again.
Good luck!

If I'm just remember, you need to enter your serial number of photoshop 5.5 when you install the upgrade photoshop version 6.
The number that is on the upgrade to photoshop registration card 6 does not work for the installation of an update to photoshop version 6.

Tecra A10 - Win7 upgrade Vista Business edition
Dear Forum
I'm curious, if you please, on a Tecra A10, which, at the time of purchase, had installed Windows Vista business.
At the latest date the owner upgraded to Windows 7 (for free I think but I'm not sure).Windows 7 installation has become corrupted and need a new facility, but a backup has not been made.
Please someone knows if the owner has a way of re - download Windows 7 free of charge, taking into account the existing Windows 7 installation is legal.
Yours with thanks in advance
IanI put t know what previous owner did somehow but if possible install clean version of Win7 and not Vista Win7 upgrade. I did it on several machines Vista and now all the machines work perfectly with the clean version of Win7 32 bit.

Welcome to the community,
It seems to be a matter of 'language' with the help of the 'Easy Install' feature in VMware Workstation. When you create a virtual computer, select "I will install the operating system later", then start the installation manually. This will solve this problem.

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!
