I have a 11 year old pc and I would like to up grade my Vista Edition wonows Home premium to windows 7? is this possible?
If its equipped with Windows Vista, it will be probably upgrade to Windows 7, as long as you meet the minimum requirements of the system.
* 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor
* 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
* 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
* Peripheral figure DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driverAlso run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/Upgrade-Advisor.aspxBecause Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.
Full version (retail):
-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
-Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
-ExpensiveUpgrade version (detail):
-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
-require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
-Expensive, but less expensive full versionOEM System Builder version:
The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating systemThere is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.
You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package designed especially for a refurbished PC cost only $50 to get a copy of 64-bit.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. -

My computer is five years old.

Two things:
Have you, after you restore the system to the factory settings, install all the latest drivers from device hardware and software for all your components (internal and external)? Drivers and software for the devices. In particular, any software for the Canon.
Try VLC )<-->-->

Hi stuart-vm,.
I looked at the Dell website for the resolution of the problems of touchpad.
Look at the troubleshooting here.

Press the NumLock key on your Dell laptop
In order to have the features of a 101 keyboard keys on a laptop key 85, the NumLock key active keyboard 10 key functions that would be normally resident on the right side of a standard keyboard. Simply pressagain to return to normal operation I don't know if it will help your problem.

Hello.
Have an old dell desktop with XP.
Have a new computer dell laptop with Vista.Both came pre-installed.
Both came with a CD to reinstall Windows.Am I allowed to install Vista from that original CD on the desktop?
I did, then you have the problem (not genuine copy of Vista). I have since reinstalled Vista, but before I completely setting up the office, once again, I want to make sure that I am able to do this (do not want the new not genuine error).Specific questions:
1. am I allowed to use portable CD to install Vista on another computer?
2. If so, that must be done to ensure the "not genuine" error can't?Thanks for any help.
ShawnN °
Reference Dell binds their records to their motherboards.
If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopAnd a Vista license = a Vista Installation.
