Question for the Vista Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7?

After you run the Upgrade Advisor, I like Windows mail is compatible with Windows 7. How can I save my emails filed so I don't lose them when I do the upgrade? Thamks

Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. That being said...

Your Windows Mail data will be preserved when you switch to Win7.

Unlike Vista and Windows XP, Win7 does NOT have any default mail client. However, you can install Windows Live Mail (free) or another e-mail Client (e.g. MS Outlook, which is not free) and then import data from Windows Mail stored in your new email Client.

You can find more help in this specific Win7 forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads

  • Re use Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc

    Hello

    I bought and Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc and upgraded to Windows XP.  Unfortunately my PC has not enough graphics to run Aero and DVD Maker (915 chipset), and I had tried unsuccessfully to introduce a new videocard (power problem).  So I gave up with this PC and will probably go back to XP or get a copy of Vista Home Basic which will be OK on this PC.

    I did the clean installation thing with the upgrade disk if my old XP system is not affected and can be restored without problem.

    My question is:

    If I buy a latest PC who has the necessary graphics to run the Home Premium edition, can I re reuse the upgrade disc, or the activation process will fail because of "improved" after having already.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Evereti,

    You can try installing upgrade of Windows Vista on another PC as if you removed completely from Windows Vista to Windows XP PC. You will not be able to use the same copy on two different computers at the same time. It will affect the Product Activation.

    Your computer initially comes preinstalled with Windows Vista HP on this subject, the manufacturer?  If so, you will need to contact them to get an installation disc.  If you have a Setup for Windows Vista HP disk and a product key, simply insert the DVD and start the installation.

  • If I install Windows Vista Home Premium to my Windows XP is it go faster?

    Hi, I want to know if I install Windows Vista Home Premium on my Windows XP Home Edition it will go faster? Now, Windows XP is very slow and my son wants to play online games and he can't because the computer will have to slow down. So I was wondering if I install the Windows Vista disc I had, this will make faster? and the computer I have an adapter to receive Web, couldn't that make it slow to? Please answer.

    It depends on the specifications of the system... XP might be infected with something, if its slow. You have it scanned with an AV program or something? Vista needs a bit more ram than XP. So, if there is not enough ram in the system, Vista can be just as slow (or slower) than XP. If the conversation of youre cable is an ethenet cable, you need it. Or you will not get on the internet

    Hi S RAGAN,

    I suggest to perform the clean boot on your computer and check.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    To perform a clean boot on a computer, follow these steps.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.

    If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 . In addition, see the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.

  • Complete PC Backup and restore | Vista home Premium | upgrade

    I want to create a full backup/restore of my system because 1 of my RAID volume has failed. (My computer is less than 6 months old). I was ignorant when I bought my new system Vista Home Premium won't let me create this type of backup.

    In order to get this feature that I have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate for $220? This seems a little high for a function. Also if I update can I erase on my current hard drive when you install the upgraded operating system (i.e. I have to reinstall everything anyway since the full backup/restore will not work until the new operating system is installed)?
