• Qosmio G50-115: how to upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate

  Dear friends,

  I am a teacher in a local college. We decided to buy the Qosmio (device name: G50-115, device number: PQG55E-01J00GEN, product group: QOSMIO) for our Department. We bought two so far for the trial. But my job is now on the sword.

  These laptops are pre-intstalled with Vista Home Premium SP1 and we need to upgrade these to Vista Ultimate. We have a DVD of Windows Vista Ultimate, but it's without SP1 on it. When I run and update, it rejects the upgrade because the installed version is newer than the version I have. Microsoft is no help, they said that you bought...

  Microsoft advised me to uninstall SP1, but I can't do that because there is no option in Control Panel to do this.

  If I install clean I won't lose nice software from Toshiba. I did a recovery disk, but do not think that I will be able to install this software. If I can download all necessary drivers, but I am interested in utilities/software installed at the factory.

  Would you please advise me what to do. Y did he we can get all the software of Qosmio on a DVD for instalation.

  Kind regards

  Dr. Sophie

  You should try to wake SP1 to the drive ultimate because I think that the problem is due the SP1 is already installed, but not on the final drive.

  You can do this with vLite: http://www.vlite.net/.
  With this tool, you can create your own with integrated service packs, patches, driver installation disc and more.

  Try this, it only takes a few minutes.

• Upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate

  Can anyone help?  I currently have Windows 7 Home Premium with 8 GB memory supplied with the laptop.  I'm going to upgrade the memory of 24GO to develop the use of SharePoint in a VM environment.  If I do an upgrade on the spot without doing a new installation of Windows Ultimate, which will be adequate for Windows to recognize the additional memory?  I know that Home Premium does not recognize 16 GB and that is why I'll go to ultimate.

  Yes.

  Alternatively, you could move on to professional. The two Ultimate and

• Problems with upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate edition

  I recently received a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition of my college and have had problems with the installation process. I listened to what most people tend to do and got the Windows Anytime Upgrade. I entered my key in this program, and he asked me to make what is called the Windows Upgrade Advisor. Currently, I forgot my key for the upgrade because I received the ultimate edition of a download of my college so when I tried to return the process again I hit a roadblock. When I run the Upgrade Windows Advisor he tells me that my computer can run windows 7, but when I go to install the I get an error when I try to do the Upgrade Version (I have not tried the customized version because I don't want to lose all my files that are not saved) tells me that I have to use Windows Anytime Upgrade.

  What do I do?

  Yes, you must install SP1... even just because SP1 is a sine qua non for the installation of SP2.

  It's okay which shows SP1 installed on 29 Apr-09: you haven't had not upgraded to Vista Ultimate then. ~ Robear Dyer (PA bear); MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002. DISCLAIMER: I do not represent nor don't work for Microsoft

• Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Windows complete PC Backup and Restore

  Dear Madam, dear Sir

  Upgraded my laptop HP DV7 Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, mainly to use Windows complete PC Backup and Restore.

  The restore time and unfortunately no option in the boot menu at startup to restore system from images. No menu advanced etc. I guess starting always remains at the level of the premium and does not provide "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" restore options.

  Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.

  Mmmm nice ideas...

  Thanks in advance

  Good day

• HP pavilion dv6-3141ee from home premium to ultimate

  Hello

  I have a computer hp dv6-3141ee laptop with windows 7 Home premium 64-bit installed on it.  my laptop has crashed and had a hard drive failure, so I took it to be fixed and my laptop to go with windows 7 ultimate 64 bit installed on this...

  I had a few problems with ultimate 64 bit about usb ports and a microsd port, whenever I insert a USB port it does not recognize, and then I have to unplug and plug back like 5 times or more for power read...

  My question is: is this really the ultimate 64 bit that causes these problems? should I go back to the original home premium 64-bit system?  Or y at - it suggestions for managing these issues?

  Concerning

  Hey ghalimajzoub,
  
  At the base, Win7 Home Premium and Ultimate Win7 are the same - there are a few feature differences when it comes to networking, backup and languages, but as far as material interaction goes, they are the same. See this table for details:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/compare
  
  The problem you are experiencing is certainly not due to a change in the Windows edition. Given that the ports were working before you took it repair, I recommend strongly to take out there, and to let them know - maybe something happened during the repair.

• BSOD after windows upgrade from Home Premium to Vista Ultimate

  Hello

  I have a brand new A200 - TH1 comes with Vista Home Premium installed Edition. I had to install Vista Ultimate to get the job in Sql Server 2005 Reporting SERVICES. Upgrade Windows at all times managed without problems or errors. The problem is that my system gets now BSOD about 20 times a day. Its extremely unstable. I have restored to Home Premium using recovery disks, everything is stable until I apply vista ultimate improvement. I tried the upgrade without having to install any other software, shortly after my system crashes with BSOD 0 x 00008086. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Vista Business Edition would be the surface, but there is no upgrade for this. I am very confused as to why a skeleton of the system from vista home premium to vista ultimate would cause my sysytem so unstable...

  Hello Jack

  I imagine that you have these problems, because a few months ago, I read an interesting article on this update and it was written on possible problems after the upgrade procedure. I installed a few times Ultimate on my A200 but as new installation.

  What you can try is to install the OS by using recovery media, delete all the stuff designed by Toshiba, including all other software like Norton. After doing this upgrade brand.

  When the upgrade is complete, install all the stuff of Toshiba order following facilities described in the instructions for Installations. I A200 with Vista Home Premium but I don't have a media Anytime upgrade and cannot test with my Satellite.

• Cannot upgrade Vista Home Premium Vista Ultimate 64-bit

  I have a computer with an OEM Vista Home Premium 64-bit version installed. I bought Vista Ultimate Upgrade 64-bit and when I try to upgrade instead of clean install I not give me the option to upgrade. Instead, I can install a clean install and lose all programs, settings, I have on my system that has taken a lot of time.  Why the copy I bought directly from the microsoft.com site does not my upgrade, even if it is the version upgrade of Vista? I want to be able to do things such as distance to this computer and the Premium version does not allow me.

• Satellite A200 - Vista Home Premium to ultimate upgrade

  Hi back from the guy with a new query.

  "" I'm looking to upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate... checked the requirements of what is known on the "Windows anytime upgrade" site and I can you there is a lot of conflicting ideas on how its all done up to the fact that I would need a disc to upgrade mailed to me.

  After reading a few other forums recently, the answer lies in what you guys can or perhaps are not able to advise me... and the question is:

  Only the so-called "rescue disk" provided with the purchase, IE the Windows operating system disk... ALL CONTAIN THE ' VISTA "SYSTEMS AVAILABLE..." Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate? and very unlikely, but she coded upgrade or anything like that, as its meant to be to perform upgrades?

  Thanks a lot again in anticipation of your kind comments

  Andrew.

  Firs of all I think you should know that it is a forum for users and to my knowledge, there is no guy from Toshiba which could provide instructions.
  I know, it's, your Toshiba Recovery DVD contains the same Win Vista that was preinstalled on your laptop.
  It seems that you bought this laptop with Vista Home Premium and this operating system should be placed on the recovery media.

  Please DON t mix the Toshiba Recovery DVD with a DVD of new, original and clean Microsoft Vista.
  Toshiba Recovery contains an image include the OS, drivers, tools and additional software.
  It s already active.

  The MS Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista but to use a version of Vista that a right serial key must be inserted.

  Hope I could make a clarification.
