  • How to downgrade my computer from windows 7 ultimate to home premium

    I currently have a final non-genuine Windows 7 installed, but I have a product key genuine home premium. I tried to enter the product key, but I get an error, what should I do?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello jorenhuysegoms,

    If your PC comes with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed the manufacturer or another is provided with a DVD (which, in your case, they have not) or even your PC has an image of the operating system on a partition of your hard drive.

    If you check your partition structure (Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management) you should see a partition marked "System reserved." This is the partition that contains the Windows image.

    When you first got the PC, if you have followed the manufacturer's instructions, you must have created a recovery disk. This will help you to re - install your copy of Windows 7 Home premium. Search the site for PC manufacturers to 'restore PC back to factory conditions. This will tell you how to begin the restore process and restore your PC to the State wherever it was when you first purchased your PC.

    # Anytime Upgrade is specific edition.  If Home Premium was the original OS on the computer and then restore it and then use the HP upgrade last month to THE or buy a professional for the last update.

    Except if you have language packs that come with Ultimate I'd stay professional.  Professional is expected to support up to 2020, while Ultimate is limited to supported until 2015.

    Most likely the best option and the most popular will be the Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, which includes Windows XP Mode. The extra $50.00 for Windows 7 Ultimate will only give you two additional features, bitlocker (for security) and the ability to switch between any of 35 languages.

    Original title: Bit Locker

    I have windows 7 ultimate, but then I went home premium.

    The problem is that I had a bit of locker WE on ultimate but then before moving to Home Premium I didn't remove it. Now, I want to delete bit locker, but I can't do it.
    What to do now?

    Ujala91

    BitLocker is available in versions of Vista Ultimate or enterprise. It is therefore not a way to remove bitlocker of Home Premium.

    How do DOWNGRADE you from Ultimate to Home Premium? I assume that you have installed Home Premium without formatting the drive.

  • Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating systems disks

    I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

    So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

    Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

    Thank you!

    You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  • DVD won't play in Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium Media Center.

    I tried many DVDs in my Windows 7, 64-bit Home Premium system, and none of them will play in the Media Center, with the exception of a 1955 film that plays without problem. I guess it was a good year. In the lower right corner of the Media Center, a window says: "Play DVD - Windows Media Center cannot detect a video DVD in the DVD - Rom drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Apparently, the DVD is not detected. What is a missing codec problem? I read about downloading the Codec of the user, only to cause more problems, and I did a lot of searching for an answer to this and found a countless number of users having problems with DVD in Media Center and no collective solution. How can it be this difficult? What is the problem with Windows 7? Why can I play a DVD of a film of 1955 (Mr. Roberts) and not of today's movies? The only solution that I come up with to this day, even after checking with the maufacturer of my optical drive, should consider buying the codec itself, if that is what is lacking, or a DVD player to possibly of Roxio. But after the piece of hugh of money I paid for my software Windows 7, I would not have bought anything others of another company. I wouldn't think to go back to XP, but I've had far fewer problems. Any help would be appreciated. Don

    Hi Mary - thank you very much for your answer. My PC is a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop computer. I just got the phone is turned off after a few hours of troubleshooting with Dell hardware and software services. Dell is sending a technician to replace my optical drive. They hope that clears the problem, but if not, they say that I might have to reinstall Windows 7. This is happening due to your pointing me in the right direction with your post, and troubleshooting I could do before, I called Dell. I had different problems for a while, and maybe they'll finally get fixed. Thanks again, Don Don
