ModusLink free upgrade Vista - order confirmed - we have hope
I hope that my free upgrade to Vista can be delivered. After having crossed the Moduslink procedure and received the "error unrecoverablt" and then "we cannot validate your COA number", I, like many others, been at a loss what to do then (in the absence of any real help to Moduslink).
However, out of curiosity, I went back at the very beginning of the procedure of Moduslink and clicked on the link "check the existing order.
GlobalLandingPage.aspx? oem = & Lang = https://upgradeweb.ModusLink.com/Vista/ConsumerWebsite/ (S (5ggosk45lxz42waxhpen4wfh))
I'll take my COA number and e-mail address, and to my surprise he says that my order has been confirmed. He also gave me an "order number". He gave not a good delivery date.
I eventually sent my order number with a copy of my proof of purchase to Moduslink (they need apparently). Now, waiting for a confirmation from them that the order will be shipped.
They have also responded to a couple of emails I sent, which is encouraging. They generally meet two days after I sent my e-mail. Therefore, I hope that tomorrow they will respond to my electronic purchase.
I hope this helps others. I should add that Moduslink advise may take 6-8 weeks before the Vista upgrade is shipped, but at least I have some hope now. That said, I him have not received yet, so who knows?
Mr C
Thanks for this useful info! :)

UPGRASDE FOR WIN VISTA WIN 7
Hi dilipatl,
Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
Well you certainly can upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 but Im afraid, you may have to pay a price for it.
Here is a link to check the prices of the different versions of packages of windows 7: http://www.microsoftstore.com/s/windows7?WT.mc_id=pointitsem_win7_buy&WT.srch=1Here is the way to upgrade Windows Vista to wINDOWS 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7

I thought some of you would like to know that I have received confirmation of Moduslink that my "free" upgrade Vista is delivered within 4 to 6 weeks.
The order was placed on 2 February 2007, so if I get the time limits, the order will take 12 weeks to fill!
Also, if I do not receive the upgrade by May 1, 2007, I have to communicate with them. (watch this space) and don't hold your bandwidth!
A shame IMHO - Microsoft agent for this upgrade leaves much to be desired!
Hi John
Please don't be crazy on me, but why put you it all on the Toshiba support forum?
For Vista any upgrade program is responsible for company Moduslink. If you're angry try to clarify all this with them. -
When Microsoft will acknowledge his former clients and not keep US in this Siberia they put in the update of Windows 10? With all the technicians working at Microsoft, you would think they would have found a way - one year later - to make it easier for XP and VISTA clients upgrade! Were there a change since last year?
Frustrated!

Have not corrected to Vista by chance Free Upgrade Windows 7, Windows 7 disc.
have not had a single problem for a set of 4 years on Windows 7.
Already in 2010, upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista because my Asus G51vx qualified for the free upgrade.
I don't remember how the upgrade process was done 4 years it's long.
Last night I decided to reformat and give my phone to my mother, (everything was going slowly and was cluttered with the data that I had already saved)
I moved Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC that I built.
I used Magical Jelly Bean to save my product key and information, but could not find the Vista Windows Asus recovery DVD, since I couldn't find an edition of Windows 7, I guess that's how you have to reformat; Back to Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7.
Now I'm stuck in Vista x 64
How can I get back Windows 7?
You are lucky, you still had the vista Asus recovery disc reinstall Vista, who operates a Vista.
It was the way to reinstall Vista as the COA sticker is worn
There is no more we can tell you.
The key that you say is for Windows 7 works, or it doesn't.
If that does not work, contact Asus.

Upgrade Vista to Windows 7
There is no free upgrade available currently. There was a promotion, but it ended two years ago.
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.

How to get a free upgrade to Vista?
I can't find the answer to a simple question of how to get my free upgrade to Vista and what I need to do and where I need to send the information. I bought my laptop in November and the right am to the free update.
Toshiba makes it deliberately hard to find while they can make money off of not providing the info, so people give up? I'm going nuts trying to find the info.
Thank you
Good luck! You have more chance get Vista drivers Toshiba as a free update. Basically, they announce the offer available only in the United States, in Europe, you will pay a company called Moduslink.

Free upgrade from Vista Home Premium 7
My laptop is still under warranty. I bought it New from Best Buy. Given that it was a floor model, they tell me that my computer is NOT available for free upgrade to Windows 7. Why? Is it possible that I can get a free upgrade to Windows 7? It has Vista Home Premium built in and the reason that I don't like is that it is not useful at all as much as to teach me how to use the computer. I am a senior and I learn right on the computer. If I can't get the free update, Do You traore the price of Windows 7 never boils? Any help is appreciated! Thank you very much!-Chris, in Dearborn, Michigan.
Suppose you have qualified for an Upgrade to Win7 for free if you had not bought a floor model is reduced, Chris. In any case, only Best Buy can really explain why the computer does not qualify.
You can buy an Express Upgrade to Win7 Home Premium (~ $120 USD retail or less) or Win7 Ultimate (~ 220 USD $ retail or less). See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/shop?T1=win7 or http://www.google.com/products?q=%22windows+7+home+premium%22+%2B+upgrade&hl=en&aq=f
Please note that the upgrade to Win7 peut invalidates your warranty and Service contracts.
In any case Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Please post future questions about the upgrade in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

This is the free upgrade kit supplied with some Vista PCs before the release of Windows 7?

If yes follow Clean reinstall Windows 7.
If she rejects the key during installation, leave the empty key, then after installing, do the workaround solution 3 Quick Option in Clean install with a Windows 7 Version upgrade.
