Impossible to use windows anytime upgrade to windows 7 Home Basic
Hello
I bought a retail version of Windows 7 Home Basic, but when I tried to upgrade using anytime upgrade I could not. This option was not available. When I tried to update using a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium, I got a message that I have to use Windows Anytime Upgrade.
Thank you
Temporarily disable any security software and that you try to upgrade, follow the steps mentioned below
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
Note: Allow all security software after you perform the troubleshooting steps.

Now in the rare event that your Windows Anytime Upgrade does not go through smoothly, here's what troubleshooting steps you can try:
I suggest you run chkdsk/r. It locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. / r includes the functionality of / f, with the additional analysis of physical disk errors.
Windows 7 includes a tool called CHKDSK disk that is similar to the "scandisk" in older versions of Windows to audit tool. This application scans your hard drives for errors such as the lost areas, bad sectors, and corruption.
You can run CHKDSK using two methods (the first being the easiest):
Graphic Interface method:
Open the computer option in the start menu, which allows to display all the available drives to scan on your PC:
Then, right click on the drive you want to check for errors, and then select Properties :
Now click on the menu Tools , then check now in the error checking section:
You have several options within the check disk tool. It is always recommended to you leave the box "automatically fix file system errors" ticked, as this repair and problems encountered. If you want a deeper analysis, check "search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". This second option takes more time, but you have to do if you suspect a disk problem. Once you are set up, click Start :
If you try to check a disk that is currently in use, you will receive a message asking if you want to schedule a scan. Accepting this detection is the next time you reboot your PC:
The command prompt method:
Alternatively, you can use the command prompt to perform analysis on a drive letter of your choice by running "chkdsk x:" where x is the letter of your drive. Manual scan options are:
- /F fixes errors on the disk.
- /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and name of every file on the disk. On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
- /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies / f).
- L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the log file for the number specified in kilobytes. If the size is not specified, displays the current size.
- /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary. All open handles to the volume would then be invalid (implies / f).
- /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
- /C NTFS only: skips checking of cycles within the folder structure.
- /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume (implies / r)
"CHKDSK x: /F /R" could perform a full scan (including bad sectors) and an attempt to remedy.
Warning of CHKDSK
Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost
All information about chkdsk, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730714%28WS.10%29.aspx

Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
-
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
-
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

I use genuine windows 7 home basic 32-bit.
I bought the copy under license in August 2012.How can I update my windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit?or can I put windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit windows 8?Wat is the procedure & fees for it?pls show me the right way.thanxYou will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.
Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.
Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...
If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.
If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.
Then buy a disc XP and license.

There's nothing wrong with using the Home Basic edition or Premium Home business. Note that, depending on your corporate network, you may not be able to access some network resources if your company uses a domain controller for authentication.
You can only do this with the editions of Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition.

Unfortunately, this won't work, your best option is to ask your computer manufacturer recovery media.
A key Windows 7 Home Premium cannot activate or convert a Windows 7 Home Basic Home Premium facility.
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501. I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results. First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel. Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools. For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update. Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer. Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears. The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem. My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero. Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft
worm post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
One thing you can try try the system restore, safe mode.
Start the computer in safe mode with networking capabilities (hold DOWN F8 while the computer starts).
To start your computer in safe mode, you can check the link below:http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx>

How to make a Windows 7 Home Basic PC to recognize a printer HP DeskJet 690C
Hello
A few years ago, I bought a Hewlett Packard DeskJet 690C printer and a Hewlett Packard ScanJet 3200C scanner. After awhile, I renewed my PC and its ports were all USB. If I could use is no longer my HP printer and scanner. Today finally I found a parallel cable on one end and the other USB. I also still have the original installation HP disc. But I could not do my PC find or install the program. The original HP program does not load. I'm using Windows 7 Home Basic, 32-bit. I went to the page help from HP and learned that HP always supports DeskJet 690C for Windows 7, but there is no link for the program. I wanted to use the HP recommended program to make my PC find the printer but the program could not find it. After trying for more than five hours, finally my PC shows the printer icon in printers and devices, but when I want to print a page, nothing
is happening. I would like to know whether a parallel/USB cable works for this kind of problem and if so, what kind of cable. I would also like to know what driver I have to use and where to find it.
DeskJet 690C S/N: CN86K1K0ST, 3200C S/N: CN98N1C28DPN ScanJet.
Thank you
Murat Oguz.Of all the research that I did, my experience and to work with clients - cable USB to parallel for printing isn't a very effective method for the use of your printer. It works in theory, but in practice you transfer data from one type to a machine that includes an any other type of information. When these data are transformed, most of the time printing won't work either, or it will show errors. What you can do, but I don't think it will work, is the attempt with the help of a rough rider - following these steps:
Honestly, I would recommend a more recent material that is better able to understand and communicate with your PC. These machines now come with a variety of features, reduce the costs of printing, as well as from a variety of connection options.
I would like to know if this information is useful or if there is anything I can do for you!
Have a great day!
