If I update Vista 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit, how can I carry / recover the Agency and other serialized software on?

Well my daughter has an Acer (POS) and it came with Vista 32 bit.

I'd like to get this dog-slow Vista 32 bit machine upgrade to Win 7 64 bit.

The problem: I KNOW that it's A CLEAN INSTALL...  How to import all of its programs, products and existing serialized, such as Office 2007, etc.

Is there a method to retrieve all the entries in registry etc?  Call the MS Helpline for the new series/key numbers?

In other words is that this will be one of those, "I want TO NEVER, I STARTED THIS PROCESS' events?

Thanks in advance...

Hello dave-tek-nerd

You can try to use Windows Easy Transfer utility. It backs up your data, and your settings. However, for the applications you have to reinstall. Assuming that the Acer system came pre-installed with Microsoft Office and other specialized software, you will need to ask Acer media. To use the Windows easy transfer tool click on the link below. It includes a video tutorial as well as the download link to the tool. Thank you.

  • Update Vista 64 Bit SP 2 remove icons from the taskbar for the power and sound.

    When I installed the update to Vista SP2, my power and Volume icons disappeared from the taskbar. When I went to set the display for the Menu Taskbar properties, the option to do so is grayed out.  Go to the control panel to change the power options, it's annoying, but I can live with that because I do not often change. But having to go through the control panel to adjust the volume is a container of the slow cooker. How to view again?

    Hi old giza,.

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    I suggest you to re - install the driver for your sound card, this should restore function.

    You can also consult the Web site of the manufacturer for an updated Vista driver.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    are you referring to the windows experience index?

    If so this number is determined by the material that uses your computer

    Make sure you have the latest vista drivers for your computer which you can get your computer manufacturers Web site

    go to their website and look for a driver and software download section

    Enter your model number for the last look drivers vista then download and install

    If that improves not there you need to upgrade the hardware: map graphic or RAM

    the total number is determined by the lowest number of material

  • On Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64 bit stops after that it says the settings and files of collection

    I am tring to install Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64-bit.  I'm to the point where it says collect files and settings, and it stops running, and then in the details it shows 3 files located in the c: users\my name\appdata\local\temp\WER followed by numbers.tmp, then version, appcompat or mdmp. (example: wer5090.tmp.version.txt)  He said that these files are the reason. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    1 disable any security software before attempting to upgrade

    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)

    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.

    4. check your hard disk for errors:

    Click Start

    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

    Click on "Run as Administrator"

    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    User account control permission

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/Upgrade-Advisor.aspx

    If the upgrade continues to fail, you might want to consider doing a custom installation:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    When I updated my iPhone 6 more iOS 9.3 my camera will not be to the point and seems blurred by far. I already reset my iPhone and my mother worked... Anything other ideas, might be a bug in the iOS update?

    I would say "try and do a restore as new iPhone" like everyone else but I'm having a similar problem and nothing works! I've restored all the possible ways and nothing. I got my screen replaced and I still have the same home button but my phone updated with error 53 (makes the phone unusable) but the camera did work before the update. and Apple has released iOS 9.1.2 (13D 20) to correct the error 53 (mainly for other reasons) but when I go to use the camera, it is only black! If someone could help 'discovered' and I would be great!

  • I would like to know the "best practices" for unplugging my computer permanently to the internet and other updates.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would like to know the "best practices" for unplugging my computer permanently to the internet and other updates. I thought I would do a clean install of Windows XP, install my Microsoft Works again and nothing else. I would like to effectively transforming my computer into a word processor. He continues more and more slow. I get blue screen errors, once again. I received excellent Microsoft Support when it happened before, but since my computer is around 13 years, I think it is not worth the headache to try to remedy. I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, and my computer would not be able to upgrade. Please, can someone tell me how to make it only a word processor without updates or internet connection? (I already have a new computer with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, it's the computer that I use. The old computer is just sitting there and once a week or so I updates.) I appreciate your time, thank you!
