  Hi snowglobe22,

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum. We appreciate your interest in Windows 7.

  Upgrading Vista to Windows 7 will affect any of your programs. But it is recommended to backup your data before you begin the installation.

  How to backup a PC

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/get/PC-Backup.aspx

  However, because Microsoft is not a technical support for the RC version, it is strongly recommended to leave only known computer users sign up. I recommend you to wait for the RTM and install it instead.

  Here's how to upgrade Vista to Windows 7.

  
  Before you begin the upgrade:

  • Back to the top of your files on an external hard drive, DVD or CD, USB flash, or network drive.
  • Check the Windows package to make sure that your computer meets the system requirements, you will need Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed and also 8.5 GB of free space on your hard drive.
  • Find your 25-character Windows product key. You can find your product key on your computer or inside the Windows package installer disk-based.

  Steps to upgrade vista to windows 7.

  1. insert the DVD into the drive and start the upgrade Setup program.
  2 click on install now option in the Windows 7 set in place and implementation will begin to copy the files required for installation.
  3 on get the updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get these updates.

  4 in the license page, accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the licenseand then click Next.

  5. click on upgrade to aid the which type of installation you want? page if you want to upgrade an existing installation.

  6 installation check upgrade compatibility and gives an error report where all installed applications are not compatible with Windows 7. You will need to uninstall the programs before you start the upgrade.

  7 once compatibility is checked, it starts the upgrade process and follow the instructions on the screen to configure final Windows 7. The keys to Windows 7 will ask you set up during installation, so keep it ready.

  Note: If you upgrade Windows Vista, changes the default task Windows, services and other settings in Windows Vista system can be replaced by the default configuration for Windows 7.

  Hope this information answers your query.

  Kind regards

• Try to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the upgrade feature.

  Trying to upgrade from Vista Ultimate 64-bit of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The installation of the programs continues to telling me to uninstall Trend Micro 2008. I never had 2008 on this computer. I didn't 2009 and upgraded to 2010, which is compatible with Windows 7. I uninstalled 2010, but the Windows 7 install program keeps telling me to uninstall Trend Micro Internet Security 2008. I used the uninstall of Trend Micro tool and also the Windows Installer Clean up. Still no luck. I've even went into the registry and remove any mention of Trend Micro. Still no luck. So, now what. I don't want to do a clean install. If I have to do, I'll stick with Vista. Looks at MAC ad is correct!

  Problem solved by a tech Trend Micro, which ran to remove several tools then had me into Safe Mode to delete a folder in Documents and Settings above. I'm now running Windows 7. Thank you!

• can I install windows 98 on my pc from vista operating system?

  have new pc with any word program, use win 98 cd from old pc to add the word to the new pc.  Will it work?  New basic family a of Windows Vista with service pack 2

  I doubt it. Windows 98 had no support for sata drives and I doubt that you could buy a sata controller that would support Windows 98. Pouvez get Windows 98 set in place with a pata drive but your material is probably not a pata controller, and even if that were the case you would probably go to other obstacles.

  In any case Windows 98 provides no word as part of its installation. Word is an Office, not a component part of Windows.

  Not to mention the possible legal consequences if it is an oem Windows 98.

• Just installed Windows 7 and no processor...

  I just installed Windows 7 on my computer after Vista, only to find out that there more Microsoft Works on it.  Is there a way to retrieve my disks Vista CPU?  Or it would be a legal second option: my son also had a similar computer that it has installed Linux on (he is recently rid of this computer) but we have a Microsoft Works 8.5 disc bracket provided with this computer. Sorry if this is a stupid question... I'm a little computer not disputed - no surprise, huh!

  Jan

  Windows Vista didn't work either, it was delivered without doubt as a bonus to all that the company you bought the computer (either as a special offer, or you paid for it in the comprehensive agreement).  But whatever it is, works is never automatically part of Windows, it is always sold separately.

  The works disk that came with another computer is technically only authorized for a computer (in most cases, check to see if there is a sticker that says cases so on the CD).  It's not say specifically, you can install it on your new computer.  Technically, you could probably anyway, but that it would not be "allowed" by the rules... and I can't recommend that you break all the rules :)

  But besides that, you may want to consider Office 365.  It has 3 options:

  1. Free web version (go to office.com to use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, all for free, anytime).
  2. Family version (allows you to install the complete programs on up to 5 computers/phones/tablets)
  3. Personal version (allows you to install the complete programs on a single computer)

• HP OEM Vista restore disks work after installing Windows 7 RC?

  The title of the post pretty much everything says. I would like to try the Windows 7 RC, but I also wish I could go back to Vista, at some point. It seemed that the restore disks did not have a complete reinstall the last time (it resets windows pretty quickly). If I load Windows 7 RC, I'll be able to use my restore disks from HP to postpone Vista on my system?

  Thank you

  Pete

  If your specific working set of restore disks really depends on if they were created successfully; However, a set of disks of restoration work should certainly work. At least with my CL Pavillion DV-4-1287, Recovery Manager also continued to work after an upgrade to Windows 7, then a reinstallation via clean install without shaped.  Initially, he works with none of the additional steps, in the second, I just need to copy the application on of c:windows.old\program files (x 86) \sminst.  Unless you have reason to do so, while a clean install is the best route, I wouldn't do a format with a clean install, since all your drivers are stored in the Windows.old folder and (dependent on model) the swsetup folder.  Windows 7 can not find the drivers for all devices (five in my case) but on my machine all drivers Vista has of worked - just needed to point the manual driver update function to the appropriate folded equal windows.old or swsetup. BTW, while drivers Vista came with my laptop running Windows 7, the same is not true for some recent updates on the website.

  Oh, one last thing would be to update the BIOS before installing Windows 7 from the Flash of the bios Setup program is not yet certified for Windows 7 (no surprise since it's always a BONE development)...

  Hello John

  It is not easy to understand the whole situation, especially the part with the virus.
  In my opinion, Windows XP Home edition installation should not be problematic.

  What you need is Windows XP Home SP2 or SP3 and driver SATA edition disc. Without SATA driver disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

• Desktop HP Pavilion p6310y: need standalone Serial ATA Drivers to install Windows Vista on Pavilion p6310y

  I bought your desktop Pavilion p6310y on eBay, and I really like it. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on it without problem. For the purposes of running the software (in particular, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007), I also want to install Windows Vista Ultimate on it, on another partition.

  I was under the impression that Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - Bit was originally installed the operating system when this system was released, however, when I start the installation support Windows Vista (which I created from a downloaded ISO), it requires additional drivers (no doubt, Serial ATA drivers) before instalatio, also no hard drives appear in the drive list. Anyone know where I can get these independent Serial ATA driver files? The controller is a NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA controller. I do not have the recovery of original installation disks and don't think that it would be possible to get to this point, this system is no longer supported by HP.

  Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

  Mark W. Stroberg

  Hi, Mark:

  I compressed upwards and tied the driver for the sata raid controller, you require to the nvidia chipset, that your PC has below.

  The best way to install the driver is as follows...

  Extract (copy) the files on a USB FlashDrive without any folder.

  With the flash player and the support of Vista installation in the machine, boot from the Vista installation media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and I hope that Vista will install.

• Can I install Windows Vista on my A110-178

  People,

  I am in possession of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A110-178. I would like to know if I can install Windows Vista on this laptop? And what version, Home Basic, home premium, ultimate or business.

  Kind regards

  Tim Snijckers

  Hello Tim

  I checked the Toshiba download page, and it seems that the drivers for Vista are available. Your laptop should have mode number PSAB0. Please visit http://support.toshiba-tro.de > support & download and choose your model of laptop.

  Before you start the installation of Vista, it is recommended to update BIOS first. I did the same thing for friends Satellite A100. After the BIOS update, I was able to install Vista and all the stuff from Toshiba with no problems.
