Pavilion dv 6700: upgrade software from Vista to 7

The HD on this laptop has a partition recovery for Windows Vista (about 12 GB) disc. If I upgrade the operating system Vista to Win 7 OS should I delete this partition or create another cover in the same partition as now for Win 7? I'm not sure that everything is contained in this partition recorvery but have heard of how create the new Win 7 OS recovery disk.

Please lelp me if you can.

Thank you for your comments on this issue. Looks like I need to rethink the upgrade option.

I bought a (new) full version 7 from a seller on ebay (it's along the way) and asked the same question as the seller. His answer is "I might need the version upgrade, rather than the full version." I understand I can install the 32-bit version on Vista and keep all my files using Anytime Upgrade installation. Vista is installed on my laptop in version 32 bits for most of the problems should be avoided if I do this and not the Option to install Clean? However, this leaves the useless recovery partition.

After Win 7 Upgrade Advisor running on my laptop Vista bad nothing shown in what concerns the system, programs & devices. But I don't think he's checking the drivers. Is this correct? That's why I considered the upgrade in the first place.

Can I return the Win 7 software for a full refund if recommend it really me does not install it. Smart no doubt buy a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed. HP offers portable computers with Win 7 OS but I don't know if they are really computers with Win 10 installed and you must demote. If this is the case, same problems exist with haircuts too?

I really appreciate your advice. I know just enough to get into trouble!

Thank you Dickerdi1

FYI, no matter what operating system you buy on eBay, be suspicious, because they have used the product key already. You must only buy on eBay legitimate online seller is not a recommend where you buy a Windows o/s of. And as for this upgrade that may problematic should not only this as your way of thinking.  Computer laptop Win7 are renovated and difficult to find. There is no downgrade with Windows 10.

  • Pavilion DV6 - 1247CL upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 8. 1

    I want to improve my Pavilion DV6 - 1247 CL Windows Vista at Windows 8. 1. I read on the site of Microsoft support that the only way to upgrade Vista to Windows 8.1 must do a clean install of DVD. Will I have problems with the HP drivers, etc... ? If so, what should I do to avoid these problems?

    Yes there is no direct upgrade path from Vista to Windows 8. 1. I provide a counterpoint here. Your laptop is powerful enough to run Windows 8/8.1 and I bet all the drivers work just very rare possible exceptions that will be easy to fix. I would say what you can do to give up Vista is a good thing. You might want to consider Windows 7 as an alternative, but all that will take place in 7 runs generally 8/8.1.

  • Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

    After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

    If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

    I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

    Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

    With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

    Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

    I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

    -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

    I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

    Good luck!

    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.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will lose all personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • Upgrade from Vista to Windows7.

    Can I upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista even if the Vista is corrupted and does not start?  Vista was preinstalled and I never created a rescue disk.  I have the product key and through BACK I can see that the windows files are still on the hard drive.  I heard that you can not pass actually no, I just want to know if the version of Windows 7 upgrade will recognize that I don't have a genuine version of Windows Vista.

    Hello

    Difficulty your 1 Vista as well, not sure if your computer is running Windows 7.

    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.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • 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.
