• 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.

• Can I use "Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade [Home Premium to Ultimate]" upgrade to Professional to ultimate?

  "Can I buy" Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade [Home Premium to Ultimate] "and use it to upgrade Windows 7 Professional to ultimate?

  # Anytime Upgrade is specific edition.  If Home Premium was the original OS on the computer and then restore it and then use the HP upgrade last month to THE or buy a professional for the last update.

  Except if you have language packs that come with Ultimate I'd stay professional.  Professional is expected to support up to 2020, while Ultimate is limited to supported until 2015.

• Vista Ultimate upgrade error - cannot find the driver

  I need to upgrade a laptop Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate to connect to a network of MS Server 2008. Home Premium runs on SP1, and I bought an upgrade ultimate retail package which has Ultimate SP1. When I go to install an update (I don't want to erase the old files and OS), installation involves copying the files, collecting info and half an hour in the installation, several times during "Expanding files", I get an error - upgrade can not find a driver file and install is abandoned, no error or anything else code mentions , and I couldn't find anything like this in the forums. There is no external device attached to the laptop. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Run the above.

  And try to disable/uninstall your anti-virus.

• Reinstall the Vista Ultimate upgrade after replacing hard drive - remove Windows PowerShell

  My HDD recently crashed and the manufacturer (Dell) gave me a new one with the software and systems II had orginially purchased pre-installed on the drive.  In this case, I had Vista Home Premium installed.  I got about a year ago, bought and upgraded to Vista Ultimate and I'm now trying to reinstall (I have it on DVD).  When I do, I get a message that I must remove Windows PowerShell before upgrade.  I can't find PowerShell in the application removal utility, even if I can find it when I search in the start menu.

  Any thoughts on how to deal with this?

  In addition, since the beginning of this thread, I found the following instructions in another thread:

  How to uninstall Windows PowerShell

  To uninstall Windows PowerShell 1.0 in Windows Vista, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, in the Search box, type appwiz.cpl and press ENTER.
  2. In the tasks list, click View Installed Updates.
  3. In the list to uninstall an update , right-click right of Windows PowerShell (TM) 1.0 (KB928439), click on uninstall and follow the instructions to remove Windows PowerShell 1.0.

  But, I do not see Windows PowerShell (TM) 1.0 (KB928439) in the generated list (although there are many, many others).  I found three programs of powershell appears when I put in the search box of start powershell.  Can I just delete them?

  Thank you.

  Try download Revo http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html to uninstall all the programs of PowerShell.  I hope that you will find the main program so it can be uninstalled.

  If that doesn't work, uninstall each update of PowerShell that you find.  Also, check the master list of program to see if you can find.  A when done, reboot and start the installation again and see if you come up against the same error.  If so, we may have to try another way to get rid of it - but we will cross that bridge if we come to it.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows 7 Home premium to ultimate upgrade

  Hello

  recently, I bought Y560 with 64-bit Windows 7 home premium (with i7 & 8 GB of RAM).

  I was told that in order to better use the resource that the laptop has been it is better to go for Windows 7 Ultimate.

  Is this true? It is worth the upgrade to Ultimate?

  Thanks for the tips.

  Vinciane

  Hi Joel,.

  It's hard to say. It depends on whether or not you need/want the extra features included in Ultimate. You can find a comparison between Ultimate and Home Premium using the link below. Also remember there are alternatives to these features if you miss one of them it could be cheaper and better to find another application to perform this task alone. It might even be available freeware that can do the same thing.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/compare/default.aspx

  If you do not miss the extra features, I would say that it is not worth to spend money on an upgrade to Ultimate.

• Win7 Home Premium to Ultimate upgrade

  I have win 7 home premium on my computer and works well.  I want to go to the ultimate with a new disc install ultimate (version integral 64-bit) when I try to install it, and use the 'upgrade' prompt, Setup stops and sent it to me to Microsoft "anytime upgrade page" is anyway I can get around this?  or is the "anytime upgrade" the only way to upgrade to Ultimate? The disc I have nine and possess the product unused key.

  
  

  Ok. Simply enter the product key when asked to do so. There are a small chance that the upgrade may not work (see the bottom of my first post) If you have two choices: 1) just to check their website for any questions related to the Express upgrade or the Anytime Upgrade 2) call of the factory supported team.

  Provide your license key is valid for your upgrade DVD you install twice, once as a clean install and then again an upgrade. What you do is 'redeveloped' Vista Vista"which is a route valid.

• The benefits of the Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional Upgrade will be lost to the new Windows 8 Upgrade?

  I ordered the 7 Home Premium to Professional Upgrade when I ordered my new HP computer, I picked up today. (for which I paid $65,00)
  It also suggested me the upgrade of Windows 8 when it comes out @ 15.00.
  If I lose all the benefits of the first upgrade to install Windows 8, I want to go back to the first upgrade unopened.
  They allow only a few days to do this.
  Thanks for your help

  The base provided with your computer (Windows 7 Home Premium) license will already be a license of qualification. An Express (Windows 7 Home Premium to professional) upgrade may not be an eligible license because its an upgrade. To use the Windows Pro 8 upgrade, the base provided with the computer license will be it.

  So, Yes, you could return the Anytime Upgrade If you wish.

• 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.

• 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

  Hello

  Complete PC Backup is designed for the reinstallation of the operating system that you have backed up.

  You access it to start from a Vista DVD.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-complete-PC-Restore/

  To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer.

  See you soon.

  Are you talking about changing the language of Hindi?  If the language you want does not appear in the optional updates in Windows Updates, then you can buy a copy of Windows in the language you want and reinstall Windows.  You can not upgrade.  You will need to do a clean install.
