  If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?. Please answer

  Yes.

  You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk

  Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...

  Try to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade online: newegg, amazon, etc.

  Alternatively, try your local computer store.

  I suggest that you use the built in recovery tools manufacturers to create a recovery disc or create a system image. I noticed that the upgrade to a later version of Windows can make your inoperable recovery partition.

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.

  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.

• XP home sp3 can use printer/sp2 vista home premium & files on a network private wireless, but not vice versa. Vista can see xp connected on the entire map, but can not do anything with the icon

  someone on this planet knows!

  XP home sp3 can use printer/sp2 vista home premium & files on a network private wireless, but not vice versa. Vista can see xp connected on the entire map, but can not do anything with the icon (it shows the IP etc. When hovered over with the mouse). tried fix & checked all the rest including the settings found on the masses of internet sites. don't think that this problem is so widespread and not final fix?. someone must know the answer. both computers have norton 360 v6. !. two computers use internet very well through the same network switch. two computers worked flawlessly again, no repairs, no reinstall, not zero other problems ever (always ran 360 and first market backup battery).

• Updated motherboard, switching to home premium oem in professional detail.

  I have a copy retail Windows 7 Professional which has been activated on another computer I'm disassembly and no longer go to the for use.  Can I use this copy of windows in my new computer that is running windows 7 Home premium oem (just installed new motherboard and it continues to ask for activation) without any problems?  If possible I'll have to do a clean install or can I use any time upgrade?

  I'll give my younger brother my old computer should be able to have rights on the oem license, this hypothesis is correct?  What I read in the other questions and answers the oem cd key is locked to the computer, and since I'm going to give him the greater part of the original computer (less memory and hard drive) it should work right?

  The computer with the version of Windows OEM must keep the OEM version.

  You can install Windows 7 Pro on the new computer as a clean install (the key does not work as an anytime upgrade). Must be a 'Full' product or you need an earlier version of Windows to use an "Upgrade" version

  Unfortunately, there is no option to do an upgrade, because what you have is an OEM license.

  Please note that the Express upgrade does not support OEM, MSDN-Academic, Volume (the student faculty licenses) license. If you are in possession of all these brackets, you will need to save and do a custom clean install. If you want to do it, please backup your Windows 7 Home Premium or according to edition currently installed.

  If you want to keep your programs and files, you will need to use a full version or upgrade Windows 7 professional retail license and use the key with the Express upgrade.

  OR

  Purchase an upgrade with anytime

  First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation).

• Update of Windows Vista Home Premium - code 80070490 error:

  Computer - Satellite 200
  Operating system - Vista Home Premium (service pack 1)
  Problem - when I try to update Windows Update (manual and automatic) I get the error code 80070490
  I tried - system restore, download and pay for 'RegCure' and following the instructions on the Microsoft forum without success.
  The computer was shipped with a recovery disc that has no installation to 'fix '.
  If you have a solution that does not involve a complete re - load I would be very grateful
  Please make understandable instructions for a non-techie!

  Thank you

  There is an article on this issue in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3ben-us%3B958044&x=10&y=4

  So I think that you need to reinstall the computer with the recovery disc.
  Boot from the diskette or press F8 at startup, choose "repair your computer".
  and follow the instructions in the menu.
  Then the HARD drive will be formatted so back up your data.
