Can I upgrade to vista without deleting my xp programs and files? I don't want to lose my programs/files downloaded, but I don't want to argue with remove them and reinstall later
Yes, you can perform an upgrade "On the spot" and all your personal data and software applications will be available in Vista (provided that they are compatible Vista).
As always, you should create a backup Image in XP before you begin the upgrade, just in case. Also check that you still have your XP product key. If this isn't the case, then use one of the below product key finders.

HOW CAN I UPGRADE WINDOWS 8 FOR WINDOWS 8.1 PRO.
HOW CAN I UPGRADE WINDOWS 8 FOR WINDOWS 8.1 PRO. WHEN I CLICK ON ADD FEATURES TO MY SA COMPUTER ASKING FOR THE PRODUCT KEY. I DO NOT KNOW THE PRODUCT KEY DELL MANUFACTURING DIRECTLY INSTALLED IN MY SYSTEM. SO HOW CAN I SPEND?
How can I know the product key to install the features?Note: Tests of Windows 8.1 Preview (warning)
It was clear that test the preview Windows 8.1 will not as simple and involve certain prerequisites.
Do not install it on a machine or production start-up disk.
Microsoft Senior Product Marketing Manager Michael Niehaus reiterated this message in the RT in the session of the company Tuesday. When the preview 8.1 is available, Windows 8 and Windows RT users will receive a notification from Windows Update. This update will trigger the new bits will appear in the Windows store, where potential testers will be able to read the description and choose to install or not.
Once the final versions of Windows 8.1 are available, after their release to manufacturing, those who have downloaded the preview will get the same Windows Update and the Windows Store notification. While their data and their accounts will be kept if and when they choose to install version 8.1 free, final, all their applications must be reinstalled, said Niehaus.
Even if the testers are opting instead to restore their Windows 8 devices after you install the bits of the preview, they will still have to reinstall their applications once they move to the RTM of Windows 8.1 version.
Windows 8 users who do not install the preview build and opt instead to go directly from Windows 8/Windows RT for Windows 8.1 will not reinstall their applications. All parameters, data and applications will be postponed, a spokesman said when I asked. Users will be able to decide when and if they want to switch from Windows 8 and Windows RT to the 8.1 versions, officials stressed.

See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of an installation of Windows XP here using Acronis True Image here
Alternatively, you can use for backup of Windows XP is Easeus backup, JW Stuart also has an article about it here
These same principles should work for the people who are running Windows Vista.
If you run editions such as Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition, you can use the built in backup of the computer of your Vista installation. This can be very handy in case of failure of your installation of Windows 8. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.
Create a partition:

Dual boot:
See instructions for dual boot based on the installation of the Windows 8 previews, the same principles will work for Windows 8.1 Preview:

Use the Virtual Machine software:
This method is recommended if you have a powerful enough processor and plenty of memory.
You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

VMware Player;

Can I upgrade Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows Vista 64 - Bit and preserve everything?
I have a computer with Windows Vista 32 - Bit OS. I have also 4 GB of RAM, but as the OS is 32-bit, he acknowledges that 3 out of 4 GB. So, my question is, can I upgrade to a version 64 bit Vista and preserve files and programs, or what I have to buy a copy of Windows Vista 64-bit?
Thank youHello.
No.; You cannot switch from 32-bit to 64-bit.
It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.
There has never been a way to upgrade.
You should backup your data, copy it into the 64 bit OS and reinstall all your programs
Microsoft sells more than Vista.
And before you buy Windows 7:
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

This upgrade to vista family premium is still available? is this useful? How much would it cost?
where do I go to windows 7 and just deal with incompatible programs?
or just forget it and leave it as it is until I can afford a new?
* I just did a full factory restore, which helped.
but when I reinstalled the operating system, it wouldn't let me put in the same primary place on drive C?
I had to put it in a secondary partition and it saved a lot of old stuff and labeled "old windows"?
I do not understand why it does this. is there something in the old system files I need?
cause the entire purpose of the restoration was to get rid of all that. now, I have essentially 2 copies taking up room.
because he saved much of the old system files, there's no enough space in the main square.
Do you think I can manually remove the "old windows" copy C drive without doing any harm to the computer?
I did enter and delete all of the photos and docs & downloads which he recorded, that I didn't, with no negative consequences.
but it still has a lot of program/file system I fear not remove.i shouldn't need them... right?
everything I need should be there since the operating system reinstalled, I just did?
Help?
Marc Zanyk
By all means delete the windows.old folder. Use disk cleanup. You will find a box to check the detached, although it will not be called "windows.old" specifically.
It seems that your computer has a recovery partition. You would not be able to install.
As for Home Premium, Yes, you can switch to HP. If you can still find a copy. Vista Express upgrade is no longer available since Vista is no longer available at a retailer. However, you can find a copy on eBay. Make sure you buy a retail copy and not an OEM copy. You will not be able to update an OEM copy. No matter if the copy of detail you find is a copy of full or upgrade license. You'd still be able to do an upgrade in place with one or the other.
