I want to upgrade to a newer Windows operating system Windows Vista Home Pro 64-bit. What is the recommended procedure? I see that Windows 7 or 8, a free update to Windows 10 is offered. Should I buy 7 or 8 then you spend 10 or just buy 10?
Thank you

Hello
Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.
There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.
Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.
Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

Hello. I have HP DV6-1256tx, I want drivers for my laptop compatible with the next Windows 8 operating system. How to download, can somebody help me please...
Give me the link or something where I can download the drivers...
Thank youEdriss Dave
HP does not currently have drivers for Windows 8. You probably won't need them. Windows 8 is not coming. It's here!
Just do the installation on a spare hard drive and bring the original HARD drive to a safe place.
. Windows 8 has drivers built in for most laptops and desktop computers. I did have to look for a driver in two facilities. One was an HP mini and the other was a Toshiba laptop.

Im trying to install drivers for a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 on my windows vista 64 bit computer. Every time I have try and start the download, it is said that my driver is not a 64-bit driver, which is false, and that my system is 64 bit, which is true. SO... after I click 'OK', it begins to download only to have another pop-up saying "Setup has detected that the system in use is not windows vista 64 bit" which it is. Basically its contradiction with himself. im confused.
Im running windows vista 64-bit.
I just upgraded to a Nvidia 9800GT, to a Nvidia GTX 260.
In frustration, I deleted all the old drivers, but the new will not download.
The first error says that the drivers are not 64-bit.
The second error indicates the operating system is not 64-bit.

Dell technicians had me buy a new disk, Windows 7 OS, which I installed it yesterday. A few minutes before, a phone call came in saying they were calling from Microsoft and I wanted to scan for free because I bought a product at Microsoft. They had me download software teamviewer.com, ccleaner, malware, spyware superantii. They ran scans and said I was infected and I should buy these software packages for $79. Is this a real service of Microsoft? I still have these software on my computer, I have to delete them? What other threats may be present, if it is not a true service of Microsoft?

I have Fujitsu Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile (laptop) with pre installed Windows Vista Home basic. It is in the English language.
When I want to re-installed Vista using (supplied with Labtop) restore DVD, after the installation, it is in Arabic. I tried to change this language but I can't. Could you please help to solve this problem.
Thank you
Hello
You will need to contact Fujitsu about this.
You cannot change languages with Vista Ultimate and Enterprise.
You can have a different result if you try reinstalling using this method.
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

I have my old Windows XP, Media Center Edition and has been upgraded from the hard drive because my old one was a lot of noise and I feared an imminent failure. I thought that I would use Windows Easy Transfer to copy and restore all my files on the new drive. I transferred all user data on an external USB hard disk, and managed. However, when I go to restore using Windows Easy Transfer, it doesn't gives me not a choice to restore to my new computer. He sees it only as the old computer and I never have the option. Is there a work around for this?
Hello
1. what applications did you use to transfer the parameters is - this Windows Easy Transfer or if she files and the transfer settings Wizard?
2. have you installed Windows XP on the new hard drive?
