Updated Win XP to Windows 7 ultimate?

I want to upgrade XP and Windows 7 Ultimate.      I have a 32-bit computer, but the Upgrade Advisor says I need to upgrade my processor because it does not support virtualization.  Has anyone encountered this?

Virtualization is not important unless you plan to use the VM specialized utilities that take advantage of it for the accommodation of additional performance operating systems. Otherwise, you can do without, this is not a requirement to run Windows 7.

The upgrade to Windows XP?

Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

 

More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

* 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

* 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

* 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

* Peripheral figure DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

  • Satellite A660 - update: Win 7 Home Premium to Ultimate

    I just bought A660 preloaded with Windows Home Premium 64-bit.
    I would switch to Ultimate 64 bits because I need additional features.
    I would like to know how to upgrade to Ultimate with a pack of detail without deleting all Toshiba drivers and characteristics.

    Any suggestion will be welcome!

    Hello

    You can buy a Microsoft Upgrade.
    But to be honest, that I recommend to buy a full version of Win 7 Ultimate and do a clean install.

    The advantage is that you could install this without early installation of Win 7 Home premium.
    For example; If you purchase an upgrade you will need to first install Home Premium and you need to improve this OS to ultimate. This can be annoying if anything goes wrong with OS and you need to install it again
    If you buy a ultimate full version, then you can install this OS immediately and directly without having to install Home Premium first.

    PS: the drivers are the same for Home Premium and Ultimate.

    Hello

    Windows Photo Gallery is a program that displays all the images that are located in the folder images C:\Users\your utilisateur\Mes . This program does not store the photos.

    Search the hard disk to a folder named Windows.old. This folder will contain the personal data of the previous installation of Vista .

    Open the Windows.old folder, navigate to the pictures utilisateur\Mes Users\your folder. You should see all of the Vista installation in this folder.

    Copy or move pictures to the my pictures folder in the new folder of Windows 7 .

  • Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit does not start after updates

    Hello

    I recently installed Windows 7 ultimate on a PC under Vista Basic.  I have done this as a clean install, wipe the existing partitions and create a new one for the installation.

    Everything was going well for two days until this morning when I turned on the P.C. I get the screen of the bios of the system and can see my SATA drive in the Bios and the size is properly reported. However, after the bios when the computer tries to start Windows, I get a blank screen and the hard drive remains slight activity at all times.

    I took the drive into the pc and put it in another pc via an external hard drive box and I can see the data and files in the disk.

    I put the disc in the original and booted PC from my DVD of windows 7 I tried to run the bootrec tool but the tool said that he had no windows partition!

    Now I had to reinstall Windows 7 from scratch even once - I do not have a hardware or software yesterday and I shut down the system properly (the Office was left connected to a UPS because it is at work, so no power problem on shutdown).

    The only thing I can think of happens out of the ordinary yesterday was a load of Windows, updates requiring a reboot in the morning, but the machine was fine after that.  I have actually a lot on the machine yesterday like I did has been implemented of a laptop for a demo of systems almost all day.

    Everyone has met nothing like yesterday? Or have any idea of what past?  I don't want to have to rebuild my PC whenever there are updates!

    I had a similar problem yesterday with 12 October 2010 MS update on a laptop running Win 7 Professional. PC worked perfectly in the morning, I downloaded the update to 32 MB and the installation process seems to be okay, but I couldn't get past the Windows 7 login screen after booting. Kept, get a blank screen. Even tried to start safe mode, but got the same answer. Later, I used the F8 key at startup and selected the last restore point that was created a week ago. It helped me in my PC. I removed the automatic download more MS Updates. One of the 12 had about 10 patches in it and really messed up my PC. Good luck. /

  • Unable to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate Windows 10. Maintains the update failure. Error code: 80240020

    Hi team,

    I use a Lenovo Thinkpad T410 with Windows 7 Ultimate Version Service Pack 1.  The available size on the disk on drive C is 14.3 GB.

    I get a Windows Update notification that says thank you for the reservation of the update. I had booked this about 3 months ago and yet I did not update, where most of my friends have had updates in India. I am now in the United States.

    I have already downloaded all the recommended updates necessary, only options are updated optional is not installed (most module language service pack).

    When I checked my history of update, I found the Windows 1 Pro update has repeatedly failed with the error code: 80240020.

    I don't know what is happening, so kindly help me.

    If my version is not eligible for the update, then please send a notification, so that I can cancel my reservation for Windows 10.

    Forward to your response.

    N.B. - Please see the screenshot attached below.

    Sincerely,

    Yacoub Nandy

    The fastest way to get the upgrade is to download the ISO.  Year ISO is like a dvd in order to to use, you need to right click > go up.  Begin upgrading Windows.

    WARNING: do not USE NOT THESE TO DO A CLEAN the INSTALLATION (before after you have already updated).  If you do you will not be able to activate it without having previously upgraded to win 10 and active.  Then, you will be forced to reinstall your previous operating system before the upgrade to win 10
    Running the tool of creation of media warning can prevent you to roll back to a previous operating system

    The official download Final Windows 10 is now available

  • Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit freezes on startup after the last update.

    I think I have updated a major problem with the latest update from microsoft.

    I've been running windows 7 ultimate 64-bit for over a month now, as I received it for a launch party I was the host.

    That's all works fine but a few nights ago, he just stopped from upward, it just hangs at 'Starting Windows' screen, the windows logo does not yet appear.  He would not go into safe mode and startup repair couldn't do anything.

    This happened right after that I had installed a windows update, but I thought that nothing of all this at once, but one of my friends mentioned that their windows vista pc did the same thing after the last update, still, I don't think not that it was bound.

    I had no other way to get the things on my hard drive, so I tried to reinstall windows on top of the old, it does not work either.

    I gave up, I formatted the hard drive last night and just reinstalled.
    Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit,
    NVidia graphics driver
    Microsoft Security Essentials,
    Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate,
    Apple's iTunes and Quicktime.

    The computer worked so very well, so this morning I came back to it, it was working fine, there was a box saying that a windows update was waiting to be installed, I clicked it, it was of course a big one because it was the first for this new install to get.  When he asked me to restart, I did, he went through his usual routine and now, as I sit typing this, I am facing screen "starting windows" frozen again.

    My processor is an Intel Pentium D
    I have 4 GB of RAM.

    There is obviously something wrong dangerously with the last update of windows, were there any other reports of this?

    Too, I recently had problems with Win 7 freeze on me. After you have uninstalled all the updates I had installed on 24 December 2011, 1 update could not be uninstalled and it was the update to sp1 of windows 7. After you have uninstalled all updates (except SP1 cause could not be uninstalled) I tried to play again the media and my system hang or aka freeze for a few seconds, and this happened even when I was gaming.  I had a lot of problems after that update, including any media type of videos to play just thrown music windows media player. After restoring my computer to a previous state (before that the updates have been installed) now my computer works normal again. So, for those of you having problems with windows and your way of thinking too yourself Uggghhh, why he did this? Well this is the service pack 1, windows now, I don't know any alternative to restore your computer to an earlier date before the updates took place, and if you don't have a win 7 is pretty smart and im sure they have a restore to the factory settings. These are the only options that helped me get rid of my system hanging up. I hope this helps some people and I'm sorry I can't guide you threw it and the steps how to restore your comp because of parameters factory all the comps are different.

  • Firefox does not open after the update to 14.0.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate

    Firefox did its automatic update to 14.0.1 and would be more open. I tried to uninstall and reinstall. I tried to add a new profile (which ends not - it crashes when I cliquerai on end). Nothing seems to work. I use Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. It had worked perfectly until this last automatic update,

    I went back to 13.0.1 and disabled the automatic update. Before installing the 13, I blew some left behind registry entries. 13 installed and works very well. Maybe Mozilla can make some better tests in the future for new versions don't cause pain so much. A headache more like that and I'll just go back to IE.
