The upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi, I buy the Quad Edition dv6z laptop. I checked the page several times for info on this, and I see that it comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. Now, I was wondering, if I improve this OS from Windows 7 Home Edition Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate, will I lose HP exclusive features, like the start feature to the web? I really think that these features cool sound, and I don't want to lose them. Is there a special Setup, that I need or something so I don't lose these features? Sorry if I post this thread on the Board wrong or something. I'm new to the site. I am new to HP! Sorry if I did not provide enough information. Thank you!

Initially, list all programs it is a shortcut for "Windows Anytime Upgrade". If you have purchased a version of Windows 7 with license key, you can put in the key it automatically upgrade without losing anything. If you have not purchased another version there is also the choice to go online at MS and buy the version you want. Once you have the license key you enter.

The upgrade is done automatically without having to run a disc. All versions are actually on the machine, you just need a license key to unlock.

  • The upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hello

    I HAV downloaded the ISO file following from the MSDN (en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso) site for the upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

    How should I now improve my OS from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.  Double-click the ISO file says that Windows cannot open the file.  How can I open the file?  Should it be converted into a .exe file.  If so, how?

    Thank you.

    A .iso file is an image of a dvd.  It is not a program or data file.  You need to burn this image on a dvd with your burning program.  Copy disc, burn to disc.  We'll then work the disc in your optical drive.

  • Disable the upgrade of Windows Vista Home Premium Retail

    Currently, I have installed a retail version of Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium on a desktop computer that is no longer I intend to use. I would like to turn off on this area, before you reformat the hard disk and give the computer to charity, without installing anything on the hard drive. Is this possible and if so, how? Thank you.

    Just reformat the hard drive.

    You do not contact Microsoft.
    Then, as it's a level of detail, you can use it somewhere else.
    It may require a reactivation of phone once you install it elsewhere.

  • The upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

    Hi Gang!

    I have a laptop HP625 I want to upgrade.  There on the motherboard processor Dual-Core AMD Athlon II 9340 (2200 Mhz, 2 carrots, 2 logical processors), and I installed 8 GB of Ram.  I used the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he indicated that he was a good fit.  Something weird or issues that I could keep in mind this clean installation of Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit?  I also use Carbonite for my backup.  Reason why I'm doing this is to allow the laptop to be able to work with higher end audio/video editing software.

    Respectfully,.

    Tim

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    You must also create a system image before migrating:

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

    Boot from the Windows 764 bit 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.

  • You want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional?

    I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

    You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

    If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

  • Can I upgrade to windows vista home Premium 32 bit on 64-bit operating system

    Im running windows 7 Home premium on opus 64-bit system.  Can I upgrade to windows vista Home premium 32-bit...

    Hello

    This is not an upgrade from Windows 7 to Vista.

    It is a downgrade that Vista is the previous operating system before Windows 7 came out and you would have to BUY a COMPLETE of Vista version and do a fresh install of Vista; but before you buy Vista, check first that your computer manufacturer provides the Vista drivers for your model computer.

    Microsoft sells more Vista; Try Amazon.com.

  • Trusted sites to buy the product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?

    Trusted sites to buy the product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?

    Windows 7 product keys are not sold separately, any site claiming to sell Windows 7 product keys are sold separately no doubt hoarded non-genuine product keys from TechNet and MSDN subscriptions.

    Because 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.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM 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
