Hello
Vista is in the Microsoft extended support until April 2017.

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.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.
If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.

I am trying to load lightroom 6 (I needed updating because I bought a Nikon D750 and shoot in raw that apparently my old LR4 cannot read) and he gets to a point and then tells me that is not compatible with Windows Vista but I am running Windows 7 with service pack 1 on my computer (which (according to the box, it was compatible). I'm not great with computer and I'm so frustrated right now because I don't know what to do. Help, please. Thank you
Please refer to install OS bad detection
Hope this will help you.

Recently, I received 646 error code when you try to install the important/automatic updates to Windows Vista. What patches are there for this issue? What risks are there to do not overcome this problem?
rivercitylady,
Usually with the code 646 error, if you download the update and install it manually that will fix the problem.
Go to the Microsoft Download Center and search for the number of the update has failed. Download on your PC, then run it from there. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

so, I'm running vista 64 bit basic, I want to do a fresh install,
but my drive is very early (noservice packs ect) can I download of ms a basic family of complete up-to-date vista 64-bit with sp2 with my cd key? or should I shut up and make from my cd and cope? If I do a reinstall should I reinstall all my programs as well?
Hello yaleblor,
You can download the full SP2 for Vista from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468
Save the file to a CD/DVD or USB key.
Once you have the service pack downloaded file, you can use your current Vista CD to install a fresh copy of Windows Vista on your C: drive. Once you have installed Vista you can install service pack 2 directly from the CD/DVD or USB you originally stored it on. All you then need to do is to run the Windows updates to update your system completely.
You can find out how to do a clean install by looking at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install_windows_vista.htm
After you install Windows Vista, you will need to re - install all your programs, so make sure that you have all the programs by hand before starting to consider reinstalling Windows.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
