Machines upgrading Vista to Windows 7
Hello
I bought 7 laptops in 4Q 2008 all with Vista on it. I would like to upgrade to Windows 7. Is there a special license, can I buy vs a store bought the upgrade for each machine?
If you happen to have Windows Vista Home Basic or Home Premium installed on your laptop, consider buying Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack. Be sure to download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor before upgrading.
Since you say that you have 7 portable computers, you would need to purchase two 2Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Packs and also 1 Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade.

I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives. A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition. (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.) If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system? Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure? The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?
Thank you.
You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

When Microsoft will acknowledge his former clients and not keep US in this Siberia they put in the update of Windows 10?

can I upgrade vista to windows 7 using the media of pre-release?
LuckyHelloI have Windows Vista SP2 on my machine. can I he move to Windows 7 using Windows 7 Ultimate draft?
A preliminary version is not a permanent solution and to this date can not activate or update properly. You have two choices:
(1) get you a Windows 7 upgrade version. (2) Windows 7 Trial (see the last part of my post).
With a choice, it is always a good idea to create a backup Image of your hard drive before moving from Vista to Windows 7.

Upgrade Vista to Windows 8 fails because it cannot tell if my PC is ready
I downloaded the upgrade for $40 from Windows Vista to Windows 8. I'm trying to upgrade from my office, but I get the message "something's happened, we can't tell if your PC is ready to continue the installation of Windows 8" Try restarting the whole upward. »
I tried to restart Setup several times with the same result. Any ideas on how I can prepare my PC for this upgrade?
On another another attempt to upgrade, I noticed a transitional message that windows 8 find all updates required but necessary to restart. It has not restarted automatically but rather moved to the next step. I manually restarted the computer and now, as of the beginning of the upgrade, the upgrade has started.
