• Vista Home premium OEM Windows 7 upgrade

  Members of the community of dear MS,

  I have two laptop PCs, they are all two Dell Inspiron 6400 and 1525 running Windows Vista Home premium.

  I intend to have these two computers, but both work very well while they are slow.

  I think Windows 10 upgrade because I am convinced that the operating system can give the best operation of resources even with older components.

  Before moving to Windows 10, I need to upgrade to Windows 7 so that I can get a free upgrade for Windows 10.

  Given that my two laptops are the OEM of Vista Home premium version and the Dell product key does not work to activate Windows 7.

  Can I ask for help to advise what I can do now?

  If I need to pay for an update to obtain Windows 7 Home Edition Basic, can advise please how I can pay for it.

  Thanks for your help and advice.

  Best regards

  Brian

  It is not sensible to buy a license and upgrade to Windows 7 just to get the free update of Windows 10.

  Just buy Windows 10 GB of the full version of the GET (you will need two licenses), and then perform a custom installation:

  Buy Windows 10:

• Have ACER Aspire desktop on which a card mother and preloaded Windows Vista Home Premium (oem) has become corrupted somehow.

  Motherboard has been replaced, now need the Windows Vista Home premium media to complete the restoration of the system.  Machine did not come with any recovery disk. These materials are available for download on the Microsoft site? Thank you

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, Acer can be Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or 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.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (Retail DVD) will not install an upgrade on Vista Home Premium (OEM factory - installed)!

  I bought a copy the retail of Windows 7 premium (updated version) upgrade on Vista Home Premium SP2on my 3 yr old HP Pavilion Desktop on 22/10/2009. Vista has been installed at the factory. The PC more than meets all hardware reqs. I tried 4 or 5 times to upgrade the operating system on this PC & it runs fine until the process to halfway in step 5 in the upgrade and stops. I forgot the exact message, but it's like 'cannot be upgraded pc, abandoned process, will now restore the Vista installation. After this x 4-5 in the last seven days, I'm sick of what's going on. I've been building & PC repair & installation, configuration, and upgrade Windows since Windows 3.1 and Dos operating system. The Win 7 installation routine is so demanding that if all the program requirements are not met (for the latter)-it just stops and is abandoned. I've never had this kind of trouble before. NEVER Yes, I use the on-line support docs & Software Advisor compatibility. I've never seen an OS that just works! Absolutely amazing!  I also tried this on my computer Lenovo laptop lastnight - same thing!

  Hi Jim,.

  Thanks for the information. You said you ran Upgrade Advisor several times on both machines. This show no error every time? Also, I would recommend unisntalling any antivirus that you have currently and to help clean up the provided utilities if any, of the antivirus manufacturer. In addition, unplug all unnecessary devices such as printer, network cable or any other devices you have.

  I hope this helps!

• Installed Windows Vista Home premium sp2 by using the recovery disk, need to activate product key

  Hi-

  I recently partion on my computer hp laptop and installed windows vista family premium with the recovery disk I got with the laptop I have this laptop for about 4 years, I have the product ID-89578-oem-7332157-00204. If possible can I get the product key to my email * address email is removed from the privacy * because that's what I was told by hp when I asked them why they said that my warranty is over, but my windows cd must be functional and ask microsoft. If you could really help me, I really need because I am a user of autocad as a computer architect, it's the only thing that I have money on working hard.

  Hello

  the HP recovery discs do not normally require an input key product on your part

  It's a good idea to always write it down in a safe place and away from the computer

  Unfortunately, these stickers wear away very easily

  and good luck with it

• Can I use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3 users) to install Windows 7 Edition home premium 64 on a desktop computer running the OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium 32?

  My desktop system is an Acer E700 Intel Quad Core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 1 Gig video running Vista Home Premium OEM 32 version. I plan to upgrade the hard disk of 1 tetrabyte before upgrading the OS.  If so, how should I do this?  I have to restore the backup to disk to the new disk before update for Window 7 64?

  My second office is already running Vista Home Premium 64 so this upgrade using the family must be right before correct?  Or do I need to backup to the subject programs before moving to Win7 64?

  Thanks in advance.

  You will need to do a reformat to perform installation and you reinstall the applications.  There has never been a way to upgrade from x 86 to x 64.  You will need to do is use your x 64 media to install Windows 7 on new hard drive, use your product key on the certificate of authenticity located on the side of the Acer desktop computer.  You will always be the OEM license terms, as you install the same Windows SKU.  Product keys are interchangeable between x 86 and x 64, but you will probably need to call to activate Windows after installation - usually the Internet activation does not work on current versions of Windows using the seller great modes of action.

• The Windows Home Premium OEM for Windows Professional upgrade

  Normally, I go with the professional version of Windows.  After checking the differences between Windows 7 Edition Home Premium and professional, it appeared the only features I'd lose with Home Premium vs professional would be Bitlocker XP compatibility and the ability to join a domain.  I installed Home Premium 64 bit and it works fine.

  I recently updated my Acronis True Image backup software for the 2011 version.  This software is not particularly concerned for Windows 7 and it really don't like NAS devices.  A backup of maybe 10 gig of the NAS can take a day, if it is completed, and restores files are not reliable.  I decided sync critical files to the NAS to a local drive, where they could be saved easily.

  After much pulling hair I have determined that the file sync feature is missing in the Home Premium, as confirmed in several forums, including this one.  The lack of this feature is not mentioned in most graphic comparison of Microsoft, including a detailed version comparison matrix I found on this forum.

  Sync Center option is present in the Home Premium version, however, it does not allow the implementation of a "sync partnership.  It won't let me map a network drive, my local machine, but I already did.  lt is a version update is in order.

  It seems not be a cost-effective way for the owner of OEM upgrade to professional or ultimate edition.  Anyone with a computer bought in a retail store or a system integrator, likely an OEM license.  Him 'anytime upgrade' professional costs $90 while the ultimate load of $140.

  It's quite a chunk of change, especially for a story that should have been there all along and the absence of which is never mentioned by Microsoft.  I paid $110 for Home Premium OEM.  The Professional OEM version would cost $149.  If I had to do the upgrade anytime I would have to pay almost what I paid for the operating system and I will be stuck with an OEM version that cannot be moved to another system.

  Microsoft has a method to upgrade from OEM versions at a reasonable cost?  If I buy the $90 total time to upgrade that will the license be moved to another system if it loses their motherboard?

  Just to clarify, Bitlocker is available only in the enterprise and Ultimate editions.

  Not available in home edition Premium Windows 7 Professional features:

  -Domain join

  -Remote Desktop

  -Network backup

  -Encryption of system folders

  -Group Policy

  -Support up to 192 GB of RAM (64-bit version only)

  -Peer to peer support for up to 10 machines

  Microsoft has a method to upgrade from OEM versions at a reasonable cost?

  You have almost used up all available channels. The most effective being Anytime Upgrade.

  If I buy the $90 total time to upgrade that will the license be moved to another system if it loses their motherboard?

  You can transfer the license to another computer running Home Premium, but you can't move your OEM Home Premium license.

• You can use a Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit OEM license to reinstall a retail copy?

  Hello.

  I currently have a HP machine with licensed Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I intend to back up, format and perform a new Installation.
  I do have a HP OEM DvD and I wonder if I can use Vista Home Premium 64 - bit RETAIL COPY my sister to reinstall my machine.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  You can also use this method.

  You do not have a Vista disc that came with the computer to reinstall with, you should have a recovery Partition to do.

  Here is the HP Compaq information on how to use the recovery partition to put your computer in a new State.

  You press F11 at startup or through their Recovery Manager.

  It is all explained in this link.

• Is there a possibility of upgrade version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 for free?

  I learned from a few sources online that I can get a 'upgrade' for the version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 free. Is this true? Should I participate in forums feedback for Windows, etc. in order to acquire such a valuable product?

  If not, is there another 'economic' way to get a copy of windows 7?

  Really appreciate your time in answering my question.

  Despite what you may have "competent" wrong, there is no "free" upgrade to Windows 7.  You can buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store. Carey Frisch
