    I tried to spend 3 times.  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor, and he said that I can directly switch to the 32-bit version of W7.  I currently have 2 SP installed in Vista Home Premium.

    When I run the upgrade, it goes through all the steps successfully. While in the part near the end of the process data conversion (about 5 hours) the system restarts in W7 and then I got an error message stating that the version is not compatible and it cancels automatically to Vista Home Premium.

  • Try to configure Windows XP Pro and Vista Home Premium to connect wireless to a field internal.

    Hello. I recently graduated from a COMPUTER course that was very intense, but I don't think that it covered all the basics for me quite challenge the MCSA exams. In order for me to do, I bought a bunch of MS Press books covering ISA Server, Server 2003, Exchange, etc. My journey made us buy copies of Server 2003 and XP Professional, so that we can continue to practice at home.

    One of the things I wanted to do has been implemented a network in my home, using the software I have (not about to try 2008, although I think that one of the books I ordered comes with a version of a test - but it is in a game for the MSITP exams).

    This is how I currently have my network configuration. Currently, everything is wireless. I have 1 spare computer that I use as DC with active driectory.

    Currently I have a router D-Link DIR 655 (located in the basement) which acts as a gateway to the internet server and dhcp on my network and WPA2-PSK encryption use.

    I have a laptop with Windows XP Pro top (that I gave to my wife - old laptop I have baught strictly for the course, I took), and it is completely wireless. It is located on the ground floor.

    I have an office (located on the 2nd floor) using Vista Home Premium 64-bit. It's wireless.

    There is also a network of printers laser color next to the router in the basement, connected via an ethernet cable.

    On the main floor is also my Wii, which connects wireless.

    So, as you can see, it's a mixture of differnet devices connected through my router.  I have the Wii or the printer to connect to the domain specifically. The printer must be accessible to computers on the domain, but the wii should just be able to connect to the internet via the router.

    The spare box I have kicking around, I put 2003 on server and install active directory. I will also implement via this network storage server. I would like to put up to control the accounts of users of my wife and myself and that it uses roaming profiles.

    This works very well when it connects directly through, but how to configure something like this works wirelessly? I read something on another forum in which is setting up a wireless bootstrap, to authenticate against a Radius Server, and then log in to the domain. However I don't have the money to spend to get ISA Server.  The server will be basically be there just to provide roaming profiles and to store things out of our systems, incase we have problems with one of our computers. We could set up something for our own internal e-mail in the future, but since we live in the same House, it seems rather useless at the moment lol maybe set something in the future to let the other note or purchase or to do list. But for now, just want to configure what initially appears to be a single domain with roaming profiles.

    Everyone has tried to do that? Connection of the wireless networks in a field, with a router provides the address and gateway?

  • Downgraded from Windows 7 RC1 for Vista Home Premium - now cant access partition Bitlocked

    Hello

    I've been running Win 7 RC1 7100 32 bit on my laptop since its release and found absolutely great and have not been issued with it either. Unfortunately I had to return to my previous operating system, Vista Home Premium because of the RC1 of the trial is about to expire. (I have not yet bought my new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium).
    I had a configuration partition C and D under WIn 7 RC1, with D used to store personal data.  I used Bitlocker the lock on this partition.  I prepare to remove RC1 this weekend I moved all my other documents and downloads of the libraries under the D partition C for later access and moving them back to C when Vista was facing up and running.
    But when I tried to access the drive D Vista he invites me to format this drive.  When I looked under administrative tools - disk management it says that the D partition is secure by Bitlocker.
    How can I access my data on the D partition?  I have a good amount of photos on the D drive and I still need!
    I thought to download Win 7 RC1 again to install it so I can have access to the Bitlocker tool, but I can't find it on the Net.
    Please any help would be appreciated.

    The download is finished for a long time.

    It's something that you have made while using Windows 7.

    It comes with Vista, upgrade install and activate Forum.

    To access what has been done with 7 can I, I would suggest asking in the Forums of Windows 7 or Vista Security Forum here:

  • Can I up grade to Windows 7 Professional for Vista Home Premium?

    My daughter gave me Windows 7 Professional for Christmas.  My HP laptop is a little older than a year.  Read the info seems to be saying that I can't move from Vista Home Premium?  I have not opened the package.  I allow to share and save money?  Or is there a way for me to install installing first as a base and then upgrade to the professional?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never 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

    Can not perform a direct upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Windows Vista Home Premium - a "clean" installation is necessary.  Please see: upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 (custom installation).  The only version that can perform a direct upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium is Windows 7 Ultimate edition.  Please download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and follow the recommendations contained in the report it generates.

  • How can I do an update instead of a new installation if you are using Windows Anytime Upgrade from Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate?

    I have a server at home, but one of my main computers cannot remotely access because it is running Vista Home Premium.  As a result, I bought a Pack anytime upgrade to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.
    When I ran the installer, it downloaded updates to update and then opens a screen where the options are updated or install fresh.  However, the update option is grayed out and there is a message at the bottom of the screen saying that if I want I must must upgrade to a newer version of Windows.
    A new facility is out of the question for me.  I'm almost 2 years of work on the machine and it is set as I want.  I have a few training licenses, I don't think I'd be able to reinstall it.  Besides, I don't want to spend days and days software and reconfigure my system.
    I have a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, but I want to leave this machine as a Vista machine.  At I throw my money on the upgrade pack or is there someway around this problem?

    Looking for a difference in numbers/Service Pack levels.

    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.

    On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.
