Installation of W7 Ultimate on W7 Home (w / disc)

Hello

  • I have a copy of W7 Ultimate on a drive, and my computer came preinstalled with W7 Home Premium. I was wondering how do I upgrade my existing copy of W7 Home Premium to Ultimate without losing all the files (as I had for a year now).
  • I was also wondering if I enter an activation code or product key.
Thank you
Ben

Use the product key and the Express Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

If the license for Windows 7 Ultimate, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Ultimate edition at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate files the stored settings and programs.

  • I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit (Home Premium update) and I want to re - install Windows but in 64-bit. Will I still have Ultimate

    I have a Toshiba with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit (Home Premium update) and I want to re - install Windows but in 64-bit. Will I still have Ultimate?

    I'm going to re - install from 32 to 64-bit via the loader of windows recovery.
    This computer has asked ma to install 32 or 64 bit when I first turned on, I chose 32, but now I want to 64.

    It depends on. Is the license of Windows 7 Ultimate, a full version license or upgrade, or upgrade Express?

    If its an Express upgrade license, you will need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, then make the Express Windows 7 upgrade Ultimate edition using the Express upgrade key, you have.

    If you have a Windows 7 Ultimate full retail or upgrade version license, you can simply by using the 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate disc and do a custom Setup on the current installation of 32-bit.

    You 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.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
    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.

  • My computer installs the automatic updates for Vista Home Premium, but fails to set them up.

    original title: Microsoft updates

    My computer installs the automatic updates for Vista Home Premium, but fails to set them up. I'll through in circles, trying to figure out what the problem is. Everything was fine until a week ago. Help please

    Thanks for trying to help. It was too complicated for me to fix, so to get help in. happy to say now, all right.

  • During the installation of the ultimate upgrade, get "one or several components of the system could not be configured", then it restarts and pours me to premium.___How can I say what is the cause of the problem and fix it?

    I have the same problem as Laweaver.
    I have a HP pavillion Model # m9040n running the 32-bit version with service pack 1.
    My Vista Ultimate Upgrade drive is 32 bit and also has Service Pack 1 on it.
    I ran my system through the Microsoft Update and it is common.
    I ran Vista Advisor and he tells me that everything is good to go.
    I also ran my system through the center of update of HP and he is current.
    I tried the Ultimate Upgrade three times and got the same message twice.
    Of course, it waits until it reaches "end of the upgrade" before it fails.
    I turned all the extra wide including the firewall when I tried the upgrades
    My computer came with the home edition Premium already installed on it and I have the disks of backup for him if I have to do a repair on it.
    I have the same question though - how to tell what the cause of the problem and fix?
    Thank you

  • 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.

  • Installation of Vista Ultimate on Satellite L650 - 1 MM

    Hello

    I bought my Toshiba laptop some time ago and it came with Win7 Home Premium.

    Now I want to downgrade to Vista ultimate... I m not very good on the drivers because there is not under support drivers here... no info if it would work?

    I checked Toshiba's support page and you are right. There is no support for the Vista operating system.
    To be honest I m wondering really want to make this downgrade. It is well known that Win7 works better than older Vista, especially on Vista machines. I've updated several old laptops Satellite models originally come with Vista.

    Maybe you can use some drivers Win7, tools and utilities. Test it.

    By the way: what is the reason of such decommissioning? I mean, I can't imagine that you are not satisfied with Win7. Try to get Win7 ultimate version and install it. in my opinion this is the best solution for you.

    Hello

    I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

    This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.

  • Download speed drops to 15000 + kbs to 7000-12000kbs after the installation of Vista Ultimate

    I've recently upgraded to XP Home to Vista Ultimate. I have Time Warner Cable as my ISP. After upgrading my download speed went from 15000 + kbs to maximum 12000kbs. My download speed has not changed.

    I have removed the excess programs and am initialization with minimal configuration. I use IE8. Using Firefox is not better. Everything seems to work fine. Average download is now 9000-10000kbs. Time Warner Cable has checked evertyhing, street speed is 24000 kbs.

    Somewhere, something must be running somwhere and eat my bandwidth. I can't find. Also, using Norton 360 v4. Can anyone offer ideas about what happened when I installed Vista?

    So it comes to a computer you built yourself or built a generic, not a machine OEM brand? If it is an OEM brand machine you get the drivers from the website of the OEM, not directly from Intel. If it is a generic office, try to throw in a PCI network card and see if that helps. One you use is perhaps not all that compatible with Vista. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
