• Impossible to upgrade to windows vista ultimate from vista home Basic using the upgrade disc

  I bought a disc "to upgrade use only" Windows Vista Ultimate at my University and tried to upgrade my current version of Windows (Vista Home Basic).

  At the stage where I had to select the 'Upgrade' or 'Custom' installation option, I noticed that the interface was telling me, 'Upgrade Disabled"with a message that has been along the line"this version of windows is already installed and cannot be upgraded."
  I know that the upgrade disc was probably intended for the upgrade from an earlier version of Windows like XP, but I assumed that because Microsoft also sells discs "Anytime Upgrade" to do exactly what I'm trying to accomplish this I would have had no problem.
  For any help or suggestion that contact would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you in advance.

  It's all about Service Pack.
  We don't know what you have.

  If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
  You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

  In this case, your upgrade disk has NO Service Pack installed with it.

  Take it back to the University, if you cannot uninstall SP1 operating system.

• Re-install Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate

  Hello

  I bought this computer 4 years ago, it came with Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) preinstalled. About a year and a half later, I bought the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. Well well, long story short, I messed around with some settings (without a saved image), and I am looking to re - install.

  Now, here's my question. The key of Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade will still be usable once I re - install Windows 7? And if not, will the OEM keys still work?

  The two keys are still usable.

  If you have the DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate, you could install using this tutorial.

• Problems upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate - needs disk drivers

  We have two HP TouchSmart PC.  One is a TouchSmart IQ505a originally shipped with Vista installed and running Windows 7 Ultimate for years.  The other is a 320-1135 was originally shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium TouchSmart.  We have a DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, burned an ISO image downloaded as part of a Microsoft Partner subscription.  (We are software publishers).

  When I tried to install the 320-1135a TouchSmart, installation got as far as saying that «the installation program starts...» ».  He then asked me to insert a driver disk.  I downloaded all the Softpacs driver for the 320-1135a TouchSmart, copied all the files .exe on a CD and inserted into the 320-1135a TouchSmart.  Then I navigated to the folder that contains the drivers, but the Installer did not see them.

  Over the years I've installed older TouchSmart IQ505a several times during the same installation disc, but I could neither recall never asked for drivers to the installation of Windows 7 was complete.  Then I reinstalled the TouchSmart IQ505a, just to double check my memory.  NONE of the pilots did NOT the same Windows Installer.  He completed the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit install.  I then installed the drivers of IQ505a TouchSmart as usual.

  I guess what is happening here is that the 320-1135a TouchSmart requires latest drivers, or something that is not on our Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit DVD.  So I called HP Support, only to be told that they were not familiar with the Windows 7 installation procedures and since we got the DVD from Microsoft, we have to communicate with them.  I protested "but it's YOUR drivers that's not reading.  I expect Microsoft will just to send back me to you. "- only to be told"contact Microsoft ".  Which is where we are currently at.

  Can someone help me with my dilemma.  What I have to do something with Softpac .exe files before they can be seen as drivers my Windows install, if so what?  And if that's the case why couldn't HP tell me?

  If the TouchSmart is running Windows 7 Home Premium, why don't you just try the upgrade by using Windows Anytime Upgrade and the ultimate product key?

• Upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate

  Hello.

  I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1240TX laptop computer running Windows Vista (32-bit) basic family. And want to upgrade to windows 7 ultimate.

  Corresponds to the system requirements. I also have the HP Recovery Manager recovery disks.

  The questions are, how do I do the laptop bootable so that I can start the installation? And I'll lose the Drive (drive D) Recovery?

  I downloaded the driver for Win 7 package for my laptop

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4062 & LC = on & CC = US & DLC = in & sw_lang = & Product = 3877...

  Thanks for the help!

  EDIT: I just found out the correction software in the general guide, other questions remain

  Hello:

  I start the computer, install the disk in the DVD drive, and restart. To the HP splash screen hit key F9 several times, and you should be presented with a boot menu. Select your DVD drive and you'll be off and running.

  Sure just that when it asks you where to install windows, select your existing C drive and not delete all partitions. I cannot reformat or anything like that. So, if you do not remove your recovery partition, install W7 x 64 has no effect on it.

  What I did all my facilities W7 32 or 64-bit was just install W7 x 64 right above the existing Vista/XP OS and it will create a folder named Windows.old.

  Once installation is complete, you can delete the Windows.old folder and retrieve usable disk space. You can also still get all files, music and photos, that you perhaps forgot to back up this Windows.old folder if you need.

• Random Blue Screen Of Death after upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

  I was running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit for many years without any serious problem. After the upgrade to Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit I was prey to a BSOD random. Sometimes I can get several BSOD in one day. Sometimes I could get any same-day heavy after multitasking.  The BSOD may occur during any task or when I try to quit. I have the latest drivers and BIOS. I disconnected all my equipment and refurbished it. I used the diagnostic tools to test my memory 4G and my Seagate 1 t SSHD hybrid and they passed. I changed the sata connection cable my HD to the MB. I did a Windows repair (scannow) and also done a repair install and it did not help. Although these questions is past the BSOD after upgrade to Win 7 64 bit, that I suspect may not be associated with Win 64 bit but could be hardware related. Any help to solve this issue will be appreciated.
