• Can upgrade you to Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade (again) to Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8?

  I have a laptop originally supplied with an edition of Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  Because of a software problem, I had to upgrade the operating system.

  I bought a DVD of Windows 8 upgrade and did the upgrade.  The switch went a lot, only now, I have been informed that the specifications of the software is compatible on a 8 professional edition window.

  Since I did the install of Windows 8, I can't return/refund this upgrade disc.  But I still need to go to a Windows 8 PRO.

  Can I buy an ANOTHER (only now going to an ordinary Windows 8) upgrade and upgrade to Windows 8 PRO?  Microsoft will allow me to do?  My laptop is now considered a Windows 8 operating system or not?

  Or I have to "reset" my laptop to Windows 7 Home Premium and proceed with the purchase of any upgrade to Windows 8 PRO?

  Does anyone have a solution for me?

  Why the specifications of the software is only compatible with Windows 8 Pro?

  Windows 8 is similar to Windows 7 Home Premium. Both are editions of consumer.

  To the top of Windows 8 for Windows 8 Pro:

• How do I upgrade/switch to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OF Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit?

  I noticed that my laptop has 64-bit capabilities. My processor is AMD Athlon Dual-Core QL-60 1.90 GHZ. Can someone give me detailed instructions on how to move to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit? Also, I have 2 GB of RAM, and I don't know if I should get another 2 GB for the transition to work. Thank you. ~ Mystery.

  @LVTravel my laptop came with Windows Vista installed, but last Christmas, I installed Windows 7 Home Premium. It actually came with 64-bit disk, and the activation key.

  I understood the part when you say that I have to reinstall all my programs basically. I'm not sure what you mean by data files, they are available when I insert the backup? Where can I insert the disc to backup at all? My question is, how to restore these "data files"? Also, sorry for all the questions. :)

  ~ Mystery.

  Data files are the files that you create with your programs such as movies of documents, spreadsheets Excel, Word, photographs, etc.  If the files have been copied on the device to backup using Windows Explorer you can just copy them to the refurbished computer.  If you used a backup of some program you type then need to use this program to put the files back on the computer.  Some backup programs will create an image of the drive hard and if you do not select the data files only you could possibly replace your 64-bit operating system installation.  I would recommend that you get your cousin to ensure that data is backed up and the restore is performed correctly.
   
   

• Pavilion m7570n form upgrade XP to Windows 7 Home Premium 64

  After improvement in Windows 7 Home Premium 64 (clean install with all the updates, SP1, etc), I get crashes BSOD when installing / or after installing new software (Norton Antivirus, Works Suite 2006, etc.). In all cases, computer comes back to life after a reboot without problem. Random crashes do not appear to cause data loss and, as I said, the machine retrieves, the software works as before without apparent problem, except for accidents in time. I did extensive tests on the memory, processor, hard drive and cleaning of malware and viruses (own installation should have taken care of the latter.

  I was wondering if the drivers for the hardware (hard disk, DVD players, mouse, KB, video card, etc.) can must be updated to be compatible with Windows 7.

  Any clarification on this matter would be highly appreciated, Derek

  Derek, welcome to the forum.

  A component that most people do not suspect when getting BSOD is the power supply unit (PSU).  It can cause many symptoms attributed to other components.  Here's a guide that will help you solve the problems there.

• Program compatibility tells that my system was OK to upgrade Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium. During installation, I received the prompt "uninstall PC-Cillin" in order to move forward.

  It's a Vista Home premium OS.

  There is no trace of PC_Cillin in the computer that I can find.

  A good bet to find a 'install hung' is this app.

• Upgrade Windows Vista Home Premium (not the valid product key problem) to Windows 7 Home premium

  My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.  I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer.  Now, I have a problem with a product key.  When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement.  I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key.  My question is this.  If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key.  If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key?  Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop?  Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price?  Thank you

• How will I know if my Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 or x 86?

  I have a 64-bit computer, but there are files on the C drive for Program Files and Program Files (x 86). I have questions on this topic, but do not actually need to know, so far. I'm trying to restore my backup files in when I upgraded Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium. I discovered an additional file/application had to be downloaded to achieve this, but unfortunately I do not know that you choose. x 64 or x 86.

  I have a few questions:

  I chose Custom installation because I wanted to wipe my hard drive and reinstall just some things. I just discovered that a file was created on my computer as "old computer." If she was going to do this, why did I have to lose a day and 17 discs, backup files?

  When I am able to restore the backup, I can choose what get-restored or am I stuck with everything? I think I deleted everything I didn't until I did the back-up, but just in case I would like to be able to choose what is restored to my computer.

  I have a ton of papers of college in the end so I have to get my MS Office Suite restored to this computer, so if someone could help me quickly, I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you!!
