Question point upgrade from Vista to Win7

I had a laptop which has Vista Home basic on it.  I also had another laptop that had bought a win7 for her update.  By mistake, I thought I could upgrade this second pc - apparently upgrade licenses are 1 to 1 - or you buy a home packing set.  The problem is that this laptop 2nd now ask the product ID windows - which does not recognize my ID to upgrade.  He now wants to buy Windows 7.  Since I bought this first PC with Vista on it - will be a newly purchased for Windows 7 upgrade work?

  • Re-create disc set of system recovery after OS upgrade from Vista to Win7

    Hello, my HARD drive crashed, and as part of the replacement procedure, I also bought an upgrade of the OS Win7. I used my original restore disks game for the PC to Windows Vista and then upgraded to upgrade to Win7. I want to re - create the defined under Win7 recovery disc, in the case where I never restore the OS again, to avoid restoring Vista and upgrade to Win7 process. Unfortunately, Recovery Manager reports that a recovery set have been achieved and can be done again.

    Is it possible to redo the restore with the new OS Win7 disc?

  • Problems upgrading from vista to win7

    I have a Toshiba satellite p205 and I have the disc of windows 7, but when I go through the process, it does not work, so I downloaded win7 Upgrade Advisor and he says: I have all kinds of compatibility problems with drivers toshiba n such, he also says that I don't have the vista service pack (in which I don't have) so I kept installing updates from windows but the option to install SP1 never showed up. So I downloaded manually 440 mb SP1 on MS website, but it will fail to install due to an error. Can anyone help?

    NightFury,
    Try the following and let us know the result.

    Run the disk error checking
    Then run the System File Checker
    Will download and run the System Update tool
    Make sure to note one of these tools can display error messages.

    Will they all work fine and correct problems, and then run Windows Update.  After installing other updates, then try the manual installation for SP1.  It would also be useful to know what error you get when SP1 installs.

    Finally, with the upgrade, are currently available for download drivers (HP Pavilion dv7 - 1273cl)?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi for dog,

    Windows 7 has been available for download on the Microsoft Store until the latter part of 2012 - however, now, you will need to buy an installation disc from a store.

    Windows 7 drivers are available for your laptop - see the link below.

  • Upgrade from Vista to Win7 (64 bit Home Premium) (64-bit Home Premium) hung up to 96%

    I bought a subscription Office 365 this weekend, he returned and discovered that it won't work on my machine which is / was running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I had a disc OEM Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) I bought a few months ago, when I had to completely rebuild my machine, but has not used, because by some miracle, he started on my Vista drive.  I ran the Upgrade Advisor, dealt with the non-compliant issues, updated everything, disabled my antivirus software and did a upgrade install.  It stuck at 18% for hours during the 3rd stage of the installation, and then as I was on system crash, he started to answer and he got 96%, where it is been blocked for more than 16 hours.  If I try to cancel the installation, it is said that it will / could make my system unusable.  I saw there is a problem with these being stuck at 62%, but if I can't stop installation without turning my brick system, how to fix this?

    Turn off the computer

    Disconnect non-essential connections and start the machine again and see if it finishes the installation program.

    If this does not work, try the following:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • upgrade from Vista to Win7: no color for speaker Icon or WIFI icon on the system tray

    After the upgrade to Win7, both the WIFI icon and the "speaker" icon are white without color.  Just annoying for the speaker, but I cannot see the strength of the signal for the wifi icon.

    Hello
    This does not solve the problem.  The advice given doesn't turn, and turn off the system icons.  The issue is not that the icons are invisible.  The problem is that the icons are there, but they have no color, as I expect.

    Hello

    It is design in Windows 7. There is no way to change this in the user interface.

    Hello cdrudd, welcome.

    We start back up your data first, if you have a Windows Vista recovery or install CD/DVD, try this:

    1. connect an external drive or flash drive
    2. place the CD of Windows Vista in the status bar, and close
    3 boot the disk and choose "repair my computer".
    4 choose "Command Prompt"
    5. type the following command:

    CD c:

    | Come in

    users of CD

    | Come in

    dir

    | Come in

    From here, take note of what your user name folder name. Then type...

    copy c:\users\yourusername e:\users

    | Come in

    * ' e' will be the letter of your external device. It could be F, G, H or so now (according to which drive letter was already used)

    Once the copy is complete, you can pretty much use the following commands to keep the rest of the data:

    copy c:\program files e:\program files -copy everything in the folder program files

    You can use the dir command to view the contents of a directory. Then, you can use the cd command to navigate to a directory.

    Let us know if you have a copy of your user data backup job. Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • 2 questions about "redevelopment" from Vista to XP

    Someone I was talking about how much better my laptop worked when I "upgraded" from Vista home to XP Pro, and they wanted to do the same to theirs.
    They had licensed XP Home on a thumbnail for a computer with power poor diet (or the motherboard, I'm not sure) that they elected to replace rather than repair it some time ago.

    The person in question is not very computer, they asked me to proceed with the installation. When I reviewed the system, I found that the computer had a partition unused, called 'data '. The person think that the D drive was reserved for the CD, similar to the way that the reader appears sometimes on facilities without disks in older versions of Windows.

    I'm not 100% sure you have the correct drivers for the NETWORK adapter (is it still called CARD of Network Interface when based and integrated?), so I'm going to install it as a dual boot in order to obtain all the necessary drivers. I found the instructions to do this, but as Vista is installed on the first partition, I have trouble if I choose to delete the VIsta partition after that XP, I get up and running because of the MBR and the boot loader? I remember that you can install on one partition other than the one with Windows NT-based, so what would be the correct way to remove the first partition Vista, once I have XP properly put in place?

    Also, I think remember me something about the version of XP OEM (whatever it is) is illegal to install on another computer without count than the one for which it was purchased. Is this true? Have activation and WGA problems if I use this key?

    Do you want to say that for these particular brands, and you mean by 'not turn on' the Windows Activation that disables Windows after 30 days, correct?

    Well Yes. . Because if its a HP / Dell / Toshiba, Acer, the key will be in the restore cd / DVD (when install you it). And he'll know the diff, since the key is based on the model of the brand / and material. And if install you it on another system of your habit of material corresponding to the material to these portable computers or desktop computers

    If you mean the license and the legality about it, so I'll tell him it's not legal, and he needs a copy that is not an OEM version.

    Even if she was not preinstalled (on a laptop / desktop), it applies also to the OEM versions you buy.

    It MUST only be installed on a system. You may be able to install it on other computers, BUT if you can activate it is another matter. If you can't, you will have 30 days to activate
