Poblem with Windows Anytime Upgade. Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium

Hello

I have problems with the installation of the Windows Anytime Upgrade on my Acer Netbook.   Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium.

I put in my product key, and it seems to have been accepted.

After about 10 minutes of downloading, the message reads that Windows Anytime Upgrade was not successful. Please retry the upgrade.

I tried several times, but the same thing happens.

Have made my anti virus and firewall, but it made no difference.

Please can someone help.

Thank you

Most likely the best option and the most popular will be the Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, which includes Windows XP Mode. The extra $50.00 for Windows 7 Ultimate will only give you two additional features, bitlocker (for security) and the ability to switch between any of 35 languages.

  • 650 HP laptop with Windows 7 32 bit Home premium RAM problem

    Hello.

    I recently purchase a new HP650 notebook that came with Windows 8.  I have this wiped and reinstalled windows 7 32 bit edition Home premium and downloaded all the drivers/software relevant on the HP site.

    However, the machine is supplied with 4 GB of RAM, including the BIOS see' good sas.  Windows 7 recognizes that 4 GB but it says that only 969 MB is usable.

    There is nothing of configurable in BIOS for the use of video memory or information about the reserved addresses.

    I am aware that 32 bits will use about 3.5 GB but wow can get this machine to use all 3.5 GB?

    Any advice would be apreciated.

    Thank you very much

    James

    Hello

    I suggest that you uninstall the Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) and switch on Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) version to treat memory problems.

    The Microsoft Windows 7 activation key on the certificate of authenticity you have for the 32-bit version will work with the 64-bit operating system. The caveats are that you can have only a single installation active with the license key at a time and you must have an installed processor that is capable of 64-bit OS.  You will find that the 64-bit version is far superior to the 32-bit version for stability. Of course, there is the increased ability to recognize more memory installed up to limits of the motherboard.

    You can download the 64-bit here. The drivers are available on the support portal web for your mobile in the section download.

  • Minor problems with Windows Defender in Vista Home Premium 64...

    Hi, I have a problem with the Defender, it seems that the program is updated, but when I open the 'color of program' Defender is orange instead of green.
    To search for "new definitions", he asks, I'm taking this step and then the color is orange, so there must be something wrong with the program.

    There is no error code.

    I use a HP Pavilion Elite with Vista Home Premium 64, and I use Microsoft Security Essentials such as AV and WF.

    Windows Update seems ok.

    Can someone fill me on this one please.
    best regards Carlo

    BTW; my native language is Dutch thanks for the effort...

    You do have a problem that you have to worry.

    Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and would normally disable Vista Defender.

    If you continue to have problems with the Vista Defender, turn it off:

  • Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating systems disks

    I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

    So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

    Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

    Thank you!

    You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  • Windows XP Installation problem with Windows 7 Starter home

    I was told that I would have no problem of family Windows XP Setup on a new computer comes pre loaded with Windows 7 Starter.

    When I insert the CD with Windows XP, I get the following:

    Run setup.exe

    I click on install Windows XP

    Program is blocked due to compatibility issues.

    Setup cannot continue because the version on the computer is newer than the version on CD.

    Anyone know how to solve this problem and install Windows XP?

    Thank you Don

    Hello

    I understand that you want to install Windows XP on Windows 7 Starter Edition.

    (1) is the retail Windows XP version or OEM version, you are trying to install?

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. As the operating system installed on your computer is newer than the operating system you are trying to install.

    To resolve this problem, you need to do a clean install to install Windows XP, and you try to run Windows 7 Setup, it will not work. So, I suggest you to boot from the XP CD (if necessary, first change the boot order in the BIOS) and follow the instructions for a clean install. It will initially format the drive for you, so make sure you back up everything you don't want to lose to external media first.

    I hope this helps. Try the above steps and get back to us for assistance. We will be happy to help you.
