Is the free update for Windows7 from Vista still available?

My computer has been down for 2 years. I finally had the time to work again. I remember it being a free update for users of Vista to Windows7. And I heard that they were doing so again because they'll update XP. Where can I get this download?

Sorry - no, the free upgrade offer is over.

You can purchase Windows 7 here (or at a local store):

I heard that if you buy Vista you get a copy of Windows 7 free
The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010.

  • After you have installed the free updates for Vista Home Premium 64 bit, Windows will not start

    After that I installed the free updates to service pack 1, the system goes through 2 of the 3 steps, while it recharges, then the system does not boot?  To get the computer to work again, I need to run the repairer of Windows, which allows you to restore the system to an earlier point?  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

    Do your system restore, then:

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  • Free update for Windows7 problem.

    I bought the ASUS laptop that was eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade. I downloaded, installed and activated Win7. Later, I sent my laptop ASUS support for repair, because of the broken hinge. They reset OS and got sent back factory installed Windows Vista. Now the upgrade promotion has expired, how do I get back my Win 7 license? I already paid for it and can not use it. ASUS refuses to reimburse me for my losses. I don't have the Win 7 license number.

    It is a community forum, no support technique microsoft.  You should have gotten the key somewhere else for purposes of resettlement.  Maybe you can call the hotline of activation and explain your situation, but they could not give you a new key.

    Hi elizabethg,.

    Photoshop CC 2015 would require minimum Mac OS 10.9, therefor you can maximum download the trial version of Photoshop CC 2014 which is compatible with the version of Mac OS you have.

    Download link: direct download links of Adobe CC 2014: Creative Cloud 2014 Release. ProDesignTools

    We will also recommend you use Photoshop CS6 trial, because if in case you want to buy the trial then its available through the third party dealer as a standalone application.

    Download Creative Suite 6 applications

    Configuration of Photoshop

  • paid extra for the free update of 12 months in June, where is the upgrade?

    G ' Day of Oz sunny

    In June I paid extra for Fusion 2 with free updates for 12 months. I think that should cover me for the 3 fusion upgrade, but there is no mention of how to go about doing this on the Web site.

    I think as a registered user, I should have been sent an e-mail announcing the (alleged) free update.

    Pretty poor planning on the part of the teams.

    Mine by going here:

    http://www.VMware.com/support/licensing.html

    and selecting one of the mergers on the desktop in the menu dropdown.

    Login and you should see the license commitments.

    Got a new Imac and new that an upgrade was coming so I spent for the subscription.

    He found accidentally in trying to solve the question upgrade thing

    with another machine.

    PS. don't forget to press the license key.  The default is to return in series

    the numbers which I do not think that apply to the Fusion products.

  • Windows XP svchost.exe problems. Cannot find the latest updates for windows xp.

    Hello, this is my first time on the Microsoft Community page.

    I have a very strange problem with automatic updates svchost.exe and windows. I know that automatic update of windows, has been known to cause problems on XP and there is thus CPU utilization of memory leaks. Last night, I tried to install the latest windows XP updates, with automatic tool. The tool hanged during the process. Not sure why exactly. I never had a problem with it. I've been running Xp SP 3 for more than five years. In any case, I rebooted my system and checked to see if the updates actually treatment. They do not have. Then I went to the windowsupdate.microsoft site. I was trying to these updates. The scan never completed, he just constantly checked, for about 45 minutes. I decided to do some research. I found the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder "fix" online. He kicked, I renamed the file. And then disabled auto updates and restarted my computer. After windows starts, I re-activated automatic updates and waited. Nothing happened, so I did some research more. I noticed that svchost.exe uses about 25% the use of the processor. Normally my treated systemidle is 99%. I used Process explore and isolated the wuauclt.exe under the svchost.exe file. When I disable automatic updates executable, it is up to a full 99%.

    I'm not sure why it uses 25%, when I look at the actual use of the memory for the wuauclt.exe, it is only using about 17 k of memory. Which is quite low. I have not turned on microsoft update, starting in the configurations of parameters at windowsupdate. I know that in the past, that has been a problem and swallowed up system resources.

    Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    There are a lot of threads on this forum - and many others - this problem - just try to do a Google search for UPDATES of XP SVCHOST - hits now more than 8 million.

    But to save you the trouble of tracking down the fix OK here is the short version

    1. disable automatic updates using Control Panel icon

    2. restart the computer - SVCHOST is now not going crazy

    3. check which version of Internet Explorer you have installed IE8, IE7 or IE6

    4. download and install - the links below - the good update for Internet Explorer.

    Assuming you have Windows XP 32 bits here are the direct download links:

    IE8: IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41404

    IE7: IE7-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41442

    IE6: WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41458

    5. Once installed, you can reactivate the automatic updates and using Windows Update.

    Note: The bug also affects access via Windows/Microsoft Update Web site.

    KB2898785 is the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" (December 10, 2013)

    There is a bug in the function of automatic update under XP running the SVCHOST process at full CPU load (100% or 50% or 25% depending on the number of CPU cores you have). If you have a Quad core CPU the bug works the CPU at 25% (a carrot out of four) and eventually battles through a conclusion - but if your computer is a single old Celeron or Pentium bug works the CPU chip at 100% load for many, many h/solid.

    Faster your processor and RAM than you seem to make a radical difference to the actual times are waiting for you maybe search for updates complete. Most of the old core systems were never designed to deal with this kind of situation and can easily overheat. This is especially true of laptops and desktop systems older where the radiator can be partially blocked with fluff and hairs of animals - which could cause blockages or stops!

    Microsoft said last month that the updates of Internet Explorer are treated differently from all the other updates - which is originally the XP update engine run so slowly as to appear frozen. If the update service finds that you don't have the latest version of IE that is currently available, it starts to search the entire tree of updates of IE to see what it takes - rather than offering just the cumulative current update for your system.

    But if you manually install the update yourself update Internet Explorer service is fully updated and is not search for updates of IE. But until Ms. fix it will still occur whenever a new update is published.

    MS said that intend to prune the IE updates database so that only the main cumulative updates have been offered when a search has been launched - it did not in time for the update as it should of November and obviously has not arrived or worked either in time for the December Update!

    MS say they hope to have a fix before the January updates are released (Patch Tuesday) - that the problem will be activated once the next update Cumulative of IE is released.
