• Vista upgrade discs

  Hello.

  My wife and I bought a

  HP Pavilion computer dv6113, which was supposed to happen with a free upgrade to windows vista.  We sent all the documents, including registration, rebates, etc.  We received our rebate, but we never have our Vista Upgrade discs.  Is not not big computer tech that we thought that the XP operating system was just fine and have used it since then.  But now that XP is no longer supported, we are afraid to use our computer for banking, etc., until we have upgraded to Vista.  Is it possible to download the free HP Vista Upgrade we were promised when you purchase the computer?

  Thank you.

  This is NOT official HP customer service and I, like most other people on this forum do not work for HP. It is a forum for users of peer-to-peer supported for class for the HP consumer products. HP maintains no official presence on this forum and it is unlikely that HP will respond in an official capacity. Response of an employee of HP represents his own opinion and not that of HP.

  Sorry, but the Vista upgrade program ended a few months after Windows Vista came out. The upgrade program was not valid since April 2007 and there is no way to acquire Vista, short purchase. However, I recommend to buy Windows 7 Edition Home Premium instead. Windows 7 is more stable than Vista and will have a longer life of the support.

• Windows Vista upgrade of Windows paid 10

  I've seen enough posts on the way to upgrade to Vista being excluded the 'free' Windows 10 path.

  What I'm asking is good; -assuming that Windows 10 is actually purchased, Vista can be improved "in place" without replace it completely?

• Can a "uninstalled" Vista Upgrade be installed on another machine?

  For various reasons of Dingo, I want to update a computer XP MCE to Vista.  Best price on the upgrade of Vista in my area is a copy that has been installed and then uninstalled.  My question is, the software still allows to update * my * machine?  It is I think I understand that the upgrade process essentially disabled the XP he license upgrades, but is it become "attached" to this license?  Thanks in advance for any info!

  Doug

  If it's a copy retail Vista Upgrade or full installation disc (and you need is product key to go with it to activate the system - yours won't work) then it is perfectly valid, but you will probably need to activate Vista manually after the installation.  It is not reallly invalidate your XP license - it could be used again if you want to re - install XP on the same computer (if it's a sense of OEM license it installed on the computer, it cannot be used on any other computer but that it came installed on).  If it was a copy to the detail of XP that you purchased separately then it can be moved to another computer.  The licenses for the two products are separated and do not cling.  If the Vista disc is a disc of some other computer OEM you should not buy it because this product key can be used on any machine that it was orriginallly installed on and if you try you will be impossible to activate.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Vista upgrade license - lost a tale of woe

  I have such a history of sobbing, but all this is TRUE...

  In January 2008, I bought an upgrade Windows Vista Edition full for my Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) PC. I did it through Windows Marketplace and the so-called "Digital Locker". I had already run Vista upgrade Adviser and found that my computer was quite ready for the new OS. I downloaded the whole package on my HDD immediately that night. In addition, I bought an extension so that the software would be 'safe' to download even more time.

  I soon realized, however, that he was going to take a lot of work to perform the upgrade, including among other things, the old backup data, backup email and custom directories forms hidden from Outlook, etc. So I turned off for awhile...

  Then my wife and I made the decision that I needed to leave the family, move out of the country for several months and try to take off a business project. This meant that I had a LOT to do before I leave and made me to further delay my upgrade. You get the picture...

  All this leads to what is obvious - never, I installed upgrading, even if I paid a lot of money for this. And the installation files sitting on my computer (not used) at home for the duration, about 13 months.

  Then, Microsoft had some kind of unusual idea. They decided to close Windows Marketplace and build a new store from Microsoft. But where it's really me and my purchase?

  They said they sent a few emails warning that would close the Digital Locker service, but due to my absence, the birth of a little boy and other circumstances, I was NOT checking the old e-mail address they had on file for me. At the time when I wanted (and time) to install the OS for now, I discovered that the site had been completely closed. I've taken around to see what I could do about it, but still had so many things I did not as the highest priority, feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the work it would take to try to get new (time IS money).

  Now, I have a new network of SBS 2008, and I find that my XP MCE machine I brought from home (and acted for the last months as the peer-to-peer server) cannot join the domain. In fact, I discovered that it CAN, it just made during installation, OR you can use a so-called Hero Hack to get the registry suggests that it is possible.

  But I really don't want to join the SBS my old MCE machine; I want expensive want what I paid for my Vista Ultimate (who wouldn't?)!

  I've now spent hours and hours (8 and counting) Microsoft - on the phone, by e-mail. different departments - and have developed exactly zero. A manager at the Microsoft Store said hotline, after researching the issue, they have determined that there is no record kept of the old Windows Marketplace 'experience' and therefore no way to look to the top of my purchase. Myself, I can hardly believe that some recipes and information they generated through this site Web was everything simply "lost" or discarded.

  Here's what I would like to everyone on this forum interested in helping some poor soul:

  1. I'll post my e-mail address below. Please no spamming, but if you have a product key Vista Ultimate old that you no longer use and would like to donate, feel free to send it to me. I would be sincerely grateful humbly.
  2. If any of you have contact with Microsoft Corporation, please do not hesitate to tell them about my fate and run to the top of the stem. I am confident that someone was able to know what happened to me, they might like to see a happy customer and help me resolve this issue. Note that I am a MCSE (but only on NT4) and spent my life buy legal copiesunder license from everything I have ever installed (including all products of Microsoft, of course). I used to work for WordPerfect Corp., hold myself, my family and my business at a high level. Of course, that contain versions of test, but still...

  I am so disappointed with Windows Marketplace and Digital Locker service. I have paid for the extension of additional downloads. And the thing is, their approach was to never send anything with the details of the purchase,including the product key!

  The following is an exact quote from the email they sent me (I still have the original I found in my Outlook files):

  "You have successfully created an account for the service digital locker at Windows Marketplace." Now you can use the digital locker to download and install the software, recover the licenses,... .and look after your purchase information. »

  "The assistant service digital locker keeps all the license information on your PC to facilitate access. You have more to search your computer or e-mail messages to retrieve this information in one convenient place. [translation] Digital locker service also records billing information for quick and easy extraction on your next purchase. »

  I received this email on 14 January 2008, at 23:13. A minute later at 23:14, I received the following email:

  "Thank you for using the service digital locker at Windows Marketplace."

  "This email confirms that you have purchased successfully:

  "Microsoft® Windows Vista Ultimate UPGRADE".
  Quantity: 1
  Dealer: Microsoft

  "You can now access your license or licenses that have been delivered to your service digital locker."

  And that's all. No price is mentioned; No product key leaked; It was all through the Digital Locker service.

  So there you have it. If you want or can help me, I would be ever so much obliged. Hereby, I PROMISE you that I won't ever crazy enough to wait two years before trying to install something that I bought online, even if it was a task as big as the installation of an operating system! I will gladly accept any form of punishment imposed, with the only exception being to lose the Vista Ultimate license and the hard-earned served to pay for this product (we are a bit poor, butstill I never pirate software). Don't forget, the installation files have been sitting on my hard drive since that night of January.

  Sincerely,

• Can I do a clean install with a Windows Vista upgrade disc?

  De : Fred S

  I bought a new PC and I would now like to give my old PC to my nephew. He had been upgraded from XP to Windows Vista. I did a clean install with Windows Vista and remove the Windows.old folder that was taking place, but the computer is not as fast it would be if I had formatted the disk prior to installation. What to do with a Windows Vista Upgrade disk or do I have to purchase the full program?

  I got my Vista upgrade to windows 7 a few weeks ago.

• Re: Vista upgrade on Equium A100-147

  My wife and I are two retirees on a limited budget and can't afford to change the above machine and we would like to move from XP to Vista. Is it better to be upgraded or reformat and install full programs? Also should I get updates for other programs that are there?

  Thanks in advance

  Ken

  Hi Ken

  To be clear: Vista upgrade shouldn't be problematic. You must obtain Microsoft Vista DVD facilities and make the clean OS install. All necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  To be honest I have to say that Alan is right about the upgrade and I agree with everything he writes. In the end I have to say: the decision is yours only.

  If you need more assistance please post again.
  Good luck!

• Vista upgrade order doesn't look right

  Hello!

  The instructions in the PDF file on the site of Toshiba Vista Upgrade (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=UK&ID=2006-10-Vista-Express-Upgrade-UK) do not seem to be correct. I bought a Portege M400 on November 2, so after the beginning of the upgrade program. I also have a Vista capable logo on the laptop and the model number is listed in the eligibility list Vista and therefore suitable for an upgrade.

  But the problem starts when I go on the site, which is listed in the upgrade instruction (it just said go to http://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vista/ and follow the instructions).

  OK, so let's go:
  (A) I'm going to http://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vista/
  (B) to make sure that everything is set up for English and the United Kingdom.
  (C) It asks me if I have a form of redemption Upgrade - which I did not - so I chose the 'no' (as far as I know, these forms are primarily for commercial versions eligible for an upgrade).
  (D) I click on Vista
  (E) an information page arrive, I click Next
  (F) now it asks me to choose the dealer - what is weird because there are only a few manufacturers of Lenovo (Toshiba is not). So I click the button 'my computer dealer is not listed.
  (G) a message appears: "If your computer dealer is not listed, your OEM can have a direct offer for products upgrade of Windows Vista. Contact your OEM directly for more details. »

  That's all. What should I do now? OEM is Toshiba, Toshiba is not listed as the dealer (and in fact, he asks the dealer not the manufacturer) and according to the instructions on the Toshiba Vista Upgrade page, I just have to follow the instructions on moduslink.com - which ends with the result that I must ask my OEM (Toshiba) for an upgrade. So it's kind of a circle - Toshiba sends me to moduslink and moduslink back to Toshiba.

  And by the way, Toshiba lists only in the instructions to upgrade the need to have a reception which is located in the upgrade period, the document does not ask for something else - and I doubt I'm missing something.

  So what I do and how can I order my upgrade to Vista?

  Thank you!

  Alex

  Hi guys

  Have you checked if your laptops are available for an upgrade?
  According to the Toshiba page not all laptops are ready for the release of Vista.
  I visited the page recommended by lumix2day and found the link in the box:

  Windows Vista.

• Need info on the Vista upgrade

  Fact Toshiba suppy an upgrade from Vista or can I just use one of the stores?
  I need no special drivers or the new installation will resume the drivers already on the system?

  Hello

  As much as I know Toshiba has nothing to with Vista upgrade option.
  When you open the options of the system (Control Panel), you will find basic information about your computer and there are placed link Windows Vista upgrade.

  Either you can use this option or get Microsoft DVD facilities and install the Vista-specific option. All available drivers, tools and utilities Vista can be used on every version of Vista.

• Satellite U300 unable to operate after the Vista upgrade installation

  A couple of days, I did a Windows Vista upgrade on my laptop Satellite U300 and since that time, my computer does not work. He tried to self-diagnose this himself, he told me to shut down the computer and restart. I do that and then the! 0xc0190036! 4099/69249 (Security-Licensing-SLC-Component-SKU-Home...) appears with a black background. I tried to launch the product recovery disc but computer wouldn't it.

  Can someone offer me some tips?

  Kind regards

  Barry

  Hello

  It's very strange
  How have you tried to install the operating system recovery disc?

  Boot you from the CD and have you followed the instructions on the screen?
  Or what is exactly happening?

  Usually, the recovery disk must format the whole HARD drive and the laptop to the factory settings.
  In addition, the Vista is already activated and it s not necessary to put keys series.

  I see in the error message something about safety licenses. I m not very well what this may be, but perhaps could be a problem with activation, who knows?  :|
  But as I said above, the Vista on the recovery disk is already enabled.
