    Hello

    My personal opinion is that you buy a more recent machine as Vista Basic came on machines that have the material basis for it requirements.

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

    Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • I have the license of windows 8, can I upgrade my Windows 7 Home basic to Windows 7 Pro?

    I bought a laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic installed on it.

    and then I bought the upgrade for windows 8 and installed it.

    However, I didn't like windows 8 so I used the recovery partition on my laptop to return to windows 7 Home basic.

    But I read that I can downgrade windows 8 for windows 7 Pro.

    I'm sorry, you have no great experiences with Windows 8 on your laptop, I promise you it will go better if give you it more time! There are many new features in windows 8, it is faster and more organized!

    However, if you have not the capacity as mentioned downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7. It's scheduled for compatibility reasons, to business and so windows 8 base will be not covered.

    There is no Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 7 Ultimate Anytime Upgrade package.

    You have either buy an upgrade level or full version Windows 7 Ultimate retail package and use the product key as well as the Express in Windows 7 Home Edition Upgrade Wizard basic upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • 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.

    Hi voodoo2010,

    Temporarily disable any security software and that you try to upgrade, follow the steps mentioned below
     
     
    If you have a copy of Windows 7 Home Edition premium simply use the product as an anytime upgrade key. No disc required if you do it this way. You can use the button once for this upgrade as well.
     
    A similar issue has been discussed here. Disabling security software before performing whenever he helps me to upgrade.
    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7install/thread/c2870704-558d-41c9-9069-db6115c14788

    Now in the rare event that your Windows Anytime Upgrade does not go through smoothly, here's what troubleshooting steps you can try:

    1 restart the computer for all pending operations, as appropriate.
    2 see the following log files. journal entries can give you an idea why the WAU failed.
    -%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows at any time Upgrade\upgrade.log
    -%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows at any time Upgrade\upgrade_dism.log
    -%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log file
    -%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CBS.persist.log file

    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
