new product purchase full ultimate vista

After Purchasing the full version of windows vista, I also have the opportunity to upgrade before the prodcut ships?

Hi undertherose,

Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

Where are the product? It's an online store?
Whenever upgrade is the only way to do the upgrade online instantly.  If you ordered a box full version of online store, you will have to wait until he comes home and install it.

Here is some information on the Express Upgrade:

    Hi, Monica.

    How to request a new product key

    If you don't have the product key to your Windows operating system but still have the original disc, you can request a replacement of Microsoft product key for $10USD.

    You need to have a valid product key to install Windows. Your only alternative is to buy a new copy of Windows it will hurt at least try to get an inexpensive replacement of Microsoft.

    Follow the instructions below to request a new product key for Windows 7, Vista or XP Windows:

    Difficulty: Easy
    Time: Request a replacement of Microsoft product key will probably take you about 20 minutes.

    Here's how:

    1. Determine whether your copy of Windows is a copy retail or preinstalled copy:

      Retail: Your copy of Windows is a copy retail if you or someone else has bought Windows as a stand-alone software and then installed on your computer. Your copy of Windows can also be a copy retail if it came on your new computer and that your computer was delivered to a small manufacturer. Proceed to step #3.

      Pre-installed: Your copy of Windows is a pre-installed copy if it was already installed when you purchased your new computer. This is probably the case if you have a big brand PC and you have never installed yourself a new copy of Windows. Refer to the step #2.

      Other: If you have purchased or received a copy of Windows to your organization, company or other group, see step 2 but contact the issuing group instead.

    2. Contact your original computer manufacturer directly to request a new product key if Windows was preinstalled on your computer.

      If the manufacturer of your computer is not able to help you delivering a replacement for Windows product key, go to step 3. Microsoft may still be able to help.

    3. Contact Microsoft at (800) 936-5700.

      Note: It is the telephone number of Microsoft Support paid . Microsoft site advises that calls to technical support at this number will incur a charge of $40 to $60USD. You does not charge this amount to a call regarding a new product key.

    4. Follow the prompts to auto attendant correctly then you can speak to a customer service representative your missing product key.

      I could join a man after only three issues - not too bad, in my opinion.

    5. The Microsoft representative will take your contact information - name, phone number and address - email and then to ask for details about your problem.

      Tell the representative that you have your original CD/DVD Windows installation but need a replacement product key.

    6. Answer all questions asked of you. The representative of Microsoft can seek clarification on your installation disc of Windows, as the numbers around the inner circle of the CD/DVD and know what words or images that may or may not be on the disk.

      Microsoft asks these questions in order to verify that you have the installation disc is not hacked.

    7. Microsoft will take your credit card information after verifying that your installation media is genuine.

      This new Windows product key should cost you $10USD. Some readers even sent telling me that Microsoft doesn't have them pay nothing at all so they either change their policy or some people are just lucky!

  • Microsoft representative then you will read your new product key and ask that you enter in the activation window to be sure, it creates a new installation code.

  • He or she will then transfer you to the Center to activate by phone to complete the process activation of Windows.

    Note: If for some reason you are not able to get a replacement of Microsoft product key or the manufacturer of your computer and your copy of Windows is not installed (exclude you the product keys finder method), then your last course of action is to buy a new copy of Windows - Tim Fisher

    Hello

    You will need to purchase a license/disk/upgrade Windows 7 product key.

    Microsoft sells more Windows 7 and you would have to buy from Amazon, etc.

    There was a free upgrade offer, but it expired a long time ago:

    "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. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option. »

    There is no Vista SP3; SP2 has the latest Service Pack for Vista and will be the last.

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  • Purchase new product key for Windows 7

    I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 on a computer by using the copy of the standard ISO I downloaded from Microsoft. Unfortunately, seems to have misplaced my product key and you will need to buy a new one. However, it seems that, with the release of Windows 8, Microsoft has removed the possibility to buy new keys for Windows 7. I'm not ready to update this particular machine for Windows 8 at this time. Is it possible that I can buy a new product key without buying a DVD of Windows 7? Thank you.

    Unfortunately, digital downloads are no longer available through Microsoft for some editions of Windows 7. You can always buy Windows 7 Professional from Microsoft Store.

    If you want another other than Windows 7 Professional edition, you must buy from a third party such as amazon.com

  • Impossible to reinstall Vista 'Red' full ultimate upgrade after having to perform a restore.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P505D with Vista Home Premium pre-installed and previously implemented to upgrade to Vista 'Red' Ultimate bought authorized MS media and key. I also have the valid Windows 7 Home premium upgrade media and key, as was offered at the time of the purchase of the laptop, but not yet installed.

    I just had to perform a complete restoration of the original Toshiba media (Vista - Home Premium), but after the restoration by using the option 'online' to 'receive all updates of course MS', I tried to reinstall my Vista Ultimate ' Red' update, but I could not upgrade "in line to receive available updates" and was invited that "no other support is available for the Vista SP1 that I» do a clean install"which, once carried out, wiped out the mfg provided o/s and S/W and made my lap top"seeks", an operating system. I still had to re - install Vista Home Premium, but this time through recovery of the mfg media offline and then re-installed all the updates of windows. Where is the status of my OS right now.

    The upgrade of Windows 7 I had received, upgraded my Vista - Home premium 7 - Home Premium. I bought Vista Ultimate "Red" upgrade before treating the offer to upgrade to Windows 7 and now cannot use or get help for him apparently. I want to reinstall my Vista Ultimate upgrade, but if it is not supported, I'll continue to use my Windows 7 upgrade. Am I eligible somehow to uprade my Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate edition through my purchase of Vista Ultimate?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    1. your ultimate Vista package should improve your current OS without much in the way of a problem.  The patch SP2 should not prevent the update as far as I KNOW (I know).  I guess it's possible that it may be (* the DVD) versions prior to SP2 and therefore could doesn't recognize not the operating system installed as something it can be upgraded.  Is there anything that is engraved on the DVD itself that tells you if it includes SP1 or SP2?

    What happens when you put in the DVD and it Autostarts or you choose to run the installation, and then choose update?  What is the specific message or the reason for the failure?  (To be exact with the message.)

    2. you can proceed directly to Windows 7 Ultimate from where you are now.  This web page outlines the valid paths and as you can see, Windows Vista Home Premium, you can either go Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

    What are the differences between the versions?  This web page shows some of the basics.  This comparative table goes in the finer details.

    Basically, however, you need not go through another version of Windows Vista to Windows 7 (two versions mentioned in any case) nor would gain you something by doing this.

    As the manufacturer of the system with a Windows 7 upgrade path themselves - they need to support this system with Windows 7 installed on it - which is a good thing for you.  You may want to visit the support from the manufacturer of such and downloads section now to make sure they have drivers of hardware devices for all the hardware in your system to Windows 7 – just a precautionary measure.  Also - make sure that any software that you have installed on your own is Windows 7 compatible and all peripherals you have set (or sometimes attach) to the system.

  • Microsoft Store not to issue new product key for Windows 7 Ultimate, but it is has been fully paid for

    I bought a laptop Sony Viao on 19 October 2012.  This laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional.  I used the ease of upgrade to upgrade Windows at the ultimate addition.

    Since October 19 Microsoft doesn't have to issue a new serial number of the product.  My account status indicates that the order is underway.  It does not help to make a call of support for the call numbers eventually gets cut off, because it seems that the Microsoft call center staff is completely clueless about how to solve my problem.
    They have the audacity to tell me to buy a new update.  When I try to activate I just invited to enter a new product key that the existing key is not valid.
    I'm at the point where I'll try to find a pirated product key, because I WILL NOT BUY a new product key and pay for something that I'm supposed to have.  I put challenge Microsoft to report me to tell them I'll be using a pirated key until they solve this problem.
    For the moment is Microsoft who stole money from me, and I'll just steal it back.
    I tried to get help, but your support infrastructure is just completely and totally unnecessary.

    I bought a pc where it allows to be on Vista, the licens sticker is still on the pc, but I don't have a dvd, is anyway I can get Vista on back the pc without having to buy a new license?

    Hello

    You don't need a new license.

    Here are a few ways to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
