• I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium installed. My plan is to install Win 7 and then move on to Win 10.

  Original title: Vista to Win 7 to win 10

  I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium installed.  My plan is to install Win 7 and then move on to Win 10.  I have a new full version of Windows 7 Pro SP1 with an activation key.  I have experience update to Win 10 of Win 7, but worry about the installation of Win 7 over Vista.  I guess I have to do a clean install.  There is no problem to meet the minimum requirements of 10.  Can someone give me some advice on the start-up of the conversion of Win 7?  Just insert the disk?  Everything has been backed up and it's ready to go!  Thank you.

  Since the family migration to Windows Vista Premium to Windows 7 Professional it will install a clean place, why not simply use your Windows 7 Professional product key to perform a custom Windows 10 Pro install from the go?

  I don't see the need to bother installing Windows 7 Professional.

  I looked everywhere for "Windows Fax and Scan" on my computer, but I can't find it anywhere.  Help!

  You won't find it. Not available for the Home Premium edition. For the Ultimate and Business versions only.

  You will need a 3rd party fax program that is compatible with vista.
  I can't recommend one, as I don't know. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

• Moving files from office with W98SE laptop with Vista Home Premium

  Hello
  I am struggling to move files from my PC of antique desk whose memory tracks 512meg W98SE via a generic (freebie) stick to my laptop XPS from Dell. The memory stick works.
  I installed a generic USB driver on the old PC, but not deleted my existing usb drivers. Still, the old pc isn't recognizing the memory stick.
  I received a suggestion that i've got FAT16 on old pc so not recognize FAT32 usb key. If I run the utility to change the hard disk from fat16 to fat32 how to avoid the risk of losing valuable pictures of family etc?
  The old PC has only a single read CD rom for backup on cd is not an option.
  Assuming that this forum can provide a solution to save files to the drive c on the memory stick, my Vista laptop will be able to pick up the FAT32 files?
  Here's hoping. Thank you.

  Best solution - pull the hard drive out of the old machine and put it in a USB external hard drive enclosure/adapter. Who join the new Vista machine and simply copy your files on. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• My 4 year, Dell inspiron 1525 laptop with Vista Home premium preinstalled windows keeps freezing almost as soon as it starts

  about the only way I can do anything, it is to run in SafeMode w / Networking command. When this first happened I thought maybe he had a virus an update of windows at first, so I updated & ran security essentials about 6 times when, which did not find anything, I then tried to install the defenders but could not install said I needed Silverlight installed so I tried to install it but who did not want to install so finally after more than a month of try me several times a day to give me a try. My fiancee and another roommate both said that it had to be a virus. And that one of them fix it since I couldn't.  Then they both tried for a week each so he can not constantly freeze as soon as it would boot up to the windows system screen system restore when I haven't tried had no restore points when I tried this return back.

  And now, it freezes not as quick, but when they did a system restore it says now that I need to reactivate my copy of windows but now here's my new problem when the laptop was sent to a new hard drive that they also gave me a new external case but am not currently able to read my key product code at the top of the bottom of my laptop , And it came with a copy preinstalled and stupid, I didn't find the product key code when I bought the laptop from Best Buys. And they gave me a bundle of discs pack but their was not a code product key on anything.

• Windows update on dell 1521 laptop with vista home premium SP1

  Cannot download any modification, with the exception of windows defender updates. download progress meter shows 0% all the time and it cannot install updates. last updates have been made is 12/08. I have auto update turned off and I do it manually updates. I get an Error 8007000 b, but nothing on your microsoft site helps me with this error message. I use this SUITE for anti-virus, spam, spyware protection and there a fire wall which I tried to turn it off, but it does not matter still can not download updates. Please help, I am running out of options to try. I also checked on installed updates and nothing in this list on computer is required/recommended updates on windows update, when I do the search.

  Hi tdigiannurio,

  Thanks for posting your questions to answers.microsoft.com

  Here is some information that should help you with this error.

  If you receive the 8007000 b error when you try to install Windows Vista updates, the Windows file system transaction log is damaged. The transaction log is used by the Windows file system to recover when a file error occurs. To correct this error of update, you clear the log. Here's how:

  To clear the file system transaction log

  1. Click the Start button. In the Search box, type command prompt, and then, in the list of results, right-click command promptand then click run as administrator. 2. In the command prompt window, type fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\. (This assumes that C: is the drive on which Windows Vista is installed. If Windows is installed on another drive, change the drive accordingly letter.) 3. Restart your computer. 4. Download and install the update again.

  If the problem persists after you follow the steps above, go to the Center of Support Windows Update website to try to find more information about the error code or to request support by e mail.

  Let us know if it helps to address the known issue or if additional assistance is needed.

• After reforemating my dv2715nr HP laptop with Vista Home premium how to reinstall my data backed up?

• Cannot print the Vista Home Premium laptop on printer Epson Workforce 610 wireless

  Tried to implement printing wireless since our Toshiba laptop under Vista Home Premium to an Epson Workforce 610 printer.

  I have already implemented printing wireless this printer to my desktop under XP Home SP3 without problem and continue to be able to print from there.

  I went round and round with Epson.  They helped me get the printer configured on the laptop, but because the printer is working from the office, they say that it is no longer their problem.

  Here's what I know:
  -Wireless running on a Belkin Wireless G router, model #F5D7230-4, v.6xxx, with the firmware update.
  -L' laptop and printer are both connected to the same secure wireless network.  IP addresses all look OK, and I can see all devices when I look at the settings of the router.
  -I am running Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, but I turned it off.
  -Windows Firewall is also disabled.
  -I can print via the wireless router if the laptop is connected directly to the router.
  -No, I can't print from the laptop to the printer if the laptop is connected to the wireless network.

  I think there are some settings or configuration of Vista which is at the origin of the problem.  I looked the likely candidates in the properties of the printer and in the center of network & share, but I don't know enough about Windows or Vista to really know what to do.  Anyone has any ideas on this?

  Hello

  My suggestion would be to update the firmware on the router and wireless adapter first.

• change language in vista Home premium

  HI I have recentley I have a toshiba equium laptop with vista home premium on it, however, it is in Chinese, the bios is English and there is something funny like "enter" in English, but nothing else, I know where the list of languages is in Control Panel etc, but all languages in the drop down menus are in Chinese (kanji I think) and I can't read it... What is English United Kingdom in kanji? someone told any suggestions short of a complete re - load, oh, and I don't have a vista disc as I have always used xp.

  If it's a version of Chinese language of Vista, change the display language to English will change SOME of the Chinese-to-English User Interface, but it is not an English version of Vista. (It is available only in Vista Ultimate.)

  See also the section "when you change the display language...". "at the bottom of this page-online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-the-display-language

  The foregoing anyway, this really has nothing to do with the Windows Update feature. You can find assistance appropriate in this forum instead: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaappearance/threads

• 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
