• Move from vista to windows 7 on the same computer. Is it necessary to make a "transfer"?

  I'm doing an upgrade on my computer from vista to windows 7.

  Am a little confused about the need to "transfer" of data to an external source.

  What is a precautionary measure, used to retrieve the data if something terrible happens?

  Or is it that, after the upgrade to windows 7, the data is then "transferred", back on the computer newly improved?

  Windows Update has nothing to with the upgrade of Windows.

• Move from vista to windows from one computer to another

  My brother has installed Windows 7 Enterprise on my way of thinking a laptop girls that product key could go on another computer.  It did not work.  Now I have Windows 7 (not authentic) here.  I have another computer that has Windows Vista on it, but the computer is slow and not used often.  How do I uninstall Vista slow computer and then install on the laptop with the same product key?  I don't have the Vista disc more either.  I called Microsoft assistance, they wanted to charge me $60.00 to guide me through it.  I already bought the software, just lost the disc.  All I want to do is transfer from one computer to the other.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  His computer did not have Vista on it.  I have no problem to uninstall the other computer to put it on his own.  However, I don't have the Vista disc more either.  That will be a problem or I can install it online?

• Move from Vista to Windows 7 AND transfer on a different hard disk operating system

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit and in the same movement of time the OS Vista Home Premium 32-bit & a Seagate 80 GB HARD drive to two 250 GB hard drives in a RAID configuration. I intend to replace the 80 GB HARD disk with a faster drive Windows XP, so I find myself with a dual-boot system.  Apart from the exchange of small hard drives, the system will be unchanged compared to when I activated Vista.  Since it seems I have to reinstall all the programs on W7 in any case (damn and the breath), I wonder if it will be necessary (for reasons of product activation) or useful (for operational reasons) to first clone Vista to the larger players. I am aware that Seagate provides cloning software, also free that 250 GB seems a little bit today - but he will do well while this PC is still working. In case it is relevant, the Vista is OEM (I built the PC and I bought Vista with the motherboard), but I will get the retail version of Windows 7.  Most experts with thanks...

  Hello
   
  We cannot move the operating system from one hard disk to another. However, we can install the operating system on another hard drive or take the whole operating system if necessary system image backup.
  NOTE: You'll have to do a custom Setup to upgrade to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
  Windows Backup gives you the opportunity to create a system image, which is an exact image of a disk. A system image includes Windows and your control panel, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working. When you restore your computer from a system image, it's a complete restoration; You cannot choose to restore individual items and all of your current programs, Control Panel, and the files are overwritten.

  Hello

  It's always a good idea to have a paper copy of a disc (for resettlement and repairs).

  And Yes, backup all your data as 'can' happen during an upgrade that is supposed to be easy.

  This is a very good guide for what you want to do:

  Make sure you go from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit to be able to do an upgrade.

  «How To Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium»

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/6892/how-to-perform-an-upgrade-from-Vista-to-Windows-7/

  And follow these steps first:

  Go to the HP website and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

• The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

  A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

  That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

  I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

  How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

  Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

  Thank you!

  You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

  Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

  If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

  A clean installation will wipe everything.

  You cannot transfer programs.

  It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.

• I've upgraded from vista to windows 7 and it's embarrassing. To reinstall internet help?

  I do not have a CD of windows 7 - having trouble getting all the updates that are installed.  Luther

  Hello, Luther,.

  If you do not have the DVD, how move you from Vista to Windows 7? And what is Windows 7 or Windows 7 with Service Pack 1?

  Doing a clean install is always going to be better. One way to do it is to download the ISO of Windows 7, SP1 and burn the DVD from that. That being said, you will still need to download all updates / upgrades that have been issued since SP1 was released. Internet Explorer 10 is an example of such upgrade. Although tedious, I recommend that you take this approach - which will also give you the DVD to reinstall Windows if you need.

  All this assumes that you have a valid COA and the product key for Windows 7. Finally, one last question for you: what version of Windows 7 you want, and you need the version 32 or 64 Bit?

  If you could answer these questions, I can help you further. Please post your answers here.

  Kind regards

• After the OS from Vista to Windows 7 upgrade, lost bookmarks. Could they be somewhere in "windows.old"?

  Hello

  I upgraded my OS from Vista to Windows 7 and lost bookmarks, I had in Firefox. Back up my documents files and they are OK. Unfortunately, I don't think to back up my Firefox bookmarks.html file.

  However, I did the upgrade of the operating system from the disk and a "windows.old" folder has been created which seems to have a lot of my old files, applications, and others, but I can't find "bookmarks.html" in the firefox folder or in my user folder.

  Is there another place in windows.old where bookmarks could be, or a different file name, it may be under?

  Please help, there are a few important bookmarks that I lost and which were accumulated over several years.

  Thank you!

  Firefox has not used the file bookmarks.html for storage of bookmark since the release of Firefox 2. You need a JSON bookmark backup file or the file places.sqlite. See this:
  
  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

  Your old profile is located here in Windows Vista and Win7:
  
  drive: \Users\Windows login user name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profile_name

  You may need to display 'files and hidden folders' in Win7 to be able to access the Firefox profile in windows.old files and the new installation of the OS.

• Change operating system from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200

  I want to change my OS from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200... once I downloaded the complete drivers compatible with XP I updated my version of BIOS to be compatible, then when I started the formatting procedure I've countered a problem when I want to choose the format of the hard drive... which is "no hard drive drivers were found.

  If anyone can help please :) Thank you.

  Hello

  The problem is that you must install the SATA driver (among others) in the XP operating system!
  You will use the FDD USB external (floppy) drive or you will create a new Win XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite (google for nLite get details).

  In addition, after the installation of the SATA driver you shouldn't t format the HARD drive because it would wipe out the SATA driver and the HARD drive will not be recognized!
