• Upgrade from Vista Ultimate 32 bit to Windows 7 Home Premium

  I'm running a GM 5424 Gateway System I bought with Vista 32 Ultimate on it.    A year ago I bought the dvd of Windows 7 Home Premium at Wal-Mart.    Can I do a upgrade in place without having to reinstall all my programs application?   I understand the Win 7 Upgrade advisor a few programs may not be compatible and is not a problem.

  I was wondering if the upgrade in place is available for this combination or to I need to do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)     Whether it is a new installation or an upgrade in place, I also know that I have several days of Windows updates for Windows 7 until the current patch level, since the OEM Win/7 disc includes only through SP 1.    I have other computers (laptops) running Windows 7 and 8 to win.

  My PC has a 500 GB drive and I've upgraded to 8 GB of memory in a couple of years (I realize the 32 bit OS does not use everything), but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 since my CPU and hardware will support it.   I've already replaced my NIC with a compatible card Win/7.

  I already intend to have at least 2 backups made to two different USB 1 terabyte disk drives and also will have all of my data backed up online via BackBlaze.

  Please notify.  Thanks in advance!

  Yes, no problem, as long as you stick with 32-bit Windows. And almost
  all the programs will be compatible.

  or that I must do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)

  but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 because my processor and hardware will support it.

  However, it is not possible to change the number of 'bits' of Windows, of
  32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa. The only way to get there is what you
  Dread - a new installation.

  Another point: Windows 7 is now two generations old. As far as I am
  concerned, she brings more much sense to upgrade to a young person of these
  Version. I recommend going to 10 Windows instead.

• XP Mode/VPC does not start on Windows 7 Ultimate upgraded from Vista Ultimate box

  1 Dell Studio 1735

  2 initially loaded with 32 bit Vista Ultimate. Including one instance of VPC 2007 carrying a XP Pro Virtual Machine

  3 before moving on to 32-bit Windows 7 compatibility check was done and recommended applications, including VPC 2007, have been uninstalled.

  4 Windows 7 upgrade was performed without incident or error and to end all applications and data were good.

  5 installed, strictly in accordance with the files of the web videos etc., XPMode, VPC and WindowsXPMode.  Once again without incident or error.

  6 in the execution either XPMode or VPC ago approximately 45 seconds of the busy HARD disk activity and then nothing.

  7 I have a backup image of the original disc loaded with Vista as it was before step 1, above, I have tried several variations on a theme whose hardware virtualization on and off the power, order of the file install etc. but nothing helps

  8 to prove the process and installation files, I did a clean load of Windows 7 then XPMode etc. on some old iron P4 and it worked a treat.  I'm actually surprised by not only it installed at all, but by the way it currently works on an area that was originally intended to spend the rest of his eternal life as a dump.

  My conclusion is that VPC 2007 uninstall is not clean; He leaves legacy shrapnel (register?) in the system which is farce VPC.  Note that the result is consistent on several uninstalls, step 7, above.

  Question; as the XPMode function is essential and will determine if a quantity of boxes are to move from Vista to Windows 7 where only once from here?

  Have you downloaded the latest version of Windows Virtual PC? Microsoft has recently updated it removes the requirement of hardware-assisted virtualization: both Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC is available for download on http://www.windows.com/business/downloads. For more information on system requirements, go to http://www.microsoft.com/virtual-pc, I upgraded my installation of Windows Vista Ultimate x 64 with Virtual PC 2007 SP1 3 year old last year and I was able to uninstall it and install XP Mode successfully.

  There must be a fundamental incompatibility between Win 7 and Outlook 2007. It would be nice if Microsoft looked into this right away and immediately corrects before we start trashing Win 7.

  Hello oguchi,.

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Office 2007, including Outlook 2007 are compatible with Windows 7.

• Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade from OEM Home Premium to professional

  Yes I'm agree it is OK - a pure and simple update specified in the EULA is not allowed and I even said that in my first post on this topic. That * IS * explained in the EULA.

  Steppenwolff asked what would happen if a component on the computer has failed or otherwise had deformities requiring a replacement and I think who has responded. He asked what if in 3 years I want to go inside my PC because it's quite slow.

  In case you have not noticed, what you've posted above is the 'education Operating System Licensing questions' and we don't discuss licenses for schools. In addition, that the document was last updated 17/10/2005 - well before the Windows 7 EULA was relased to the public and it probably was even not prepared or reviewed by the legal teams at Microsoft. How you can use a document to respond to questions about a contract that has been released to the public almost 3 years later is beyond me. Even in this case, this document clearly States at the top: ' Please Note: this Q & A is only for information purposes.»  Your use of Microsoft software products is governed by the terms and conditions of your license agreement. " and dating back to the EULA I really want to know if I missed something - where he mentions motherboards or even anything on the computer's components, upgrades, or component failures?

  Yes I'm agree it is OK - a pure and simple update specified in the EULA is not allowed and I even said that in my first post on this topic. That * IS * explained in the EULA.

  Stop finding an excuse to prove me wrong, that your information is disinformation, accept it and go, please.

• Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Ultimate

  My 32 bit HP came with Vista Home Premium which is updated with SP2.   I'm trying to upgrade to Vista Ultimate, but get this message: could not start the upgrade.  To update, cancel the installation and choose to upgrade to a version of Windows that is newer than the version you are currently using. "The choice of installation custom is available, but I n
  ' t want to lose my Office 2007 files and other programs that I have.  I bought Ultimate on the Microsoft Store and downloaded online.  I tried to use the Windows Anytime Upgrade, but would still pay for the software.  Thanks in advance.

  Uninstall vista SP2 on your computer.

  The Service Pack level on your computer does not have to be communicated more top/more later then the Service Pack to upgrade.

  If the SP1 upgrade, uninstall SP2 from the computer, etc..

  If it is higher on the computer, you must do a clean install, as the upgrade is an earlier version of Vista.

• Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade will allow an upgrade from Vista Home Premium x 64 to Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

  I bought a HP laptop with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 64 in April 08.  If I buy a Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade, SKU: GLC-00184, I'll be able to upgrade to windows 7 Home Premium x 64 or Windows 7 Ultimate x 64?

  The http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7?T1=tab02 table seems to indicate that would be the case.  On the other hand, it does not seem logical that we could move from Vista Ultimate or vVsta HP to Win7 Ultimate for the same price.

  Thanks for the clarification.

  Yes, you can make a place in Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate.

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

  If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

  Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

  Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

  Update of prices:

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Windows_Upgrade_Matrix

  Code GFC symbolizes the product depending on the location in most cases and in some cases, this has to do with the versions.

  The GFC-00019 is a commercial container 32 and 64-bit disk operating system version. TheGFC-00564 is a 32 bit OEM version. A commercial version can be installed on any computer. But always alone at the same time. But if you install on a computer (and then he got damaged without repair possible) and then I bought another you can install it on the new computer.

  An OEM copy can only be installed on computers. If this computer got far beyond repair that you can not use it again as with the retail version. You can install the OEM as many times as you like on the original computer.

• How can I do an update instead of a new installation if you are using Windows Anytime Upgrade from Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate?

  I have a server at home, but one of my main computers cannot remotely access because it is running Vista Home Premium.  As a result, I bought a Pack anytime upgrade to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.
  When I ran the installer, it downloaded updates to update and then opens a screen where the options are updated or install fresh.  However, the update option is grayed out and there is a message at the bottom of the screen saying that if I want I must must upgrade to a newer version of Windows.
  A new facility is out of the question for me.  I'm almost 2 years of work on the machine and it is set as I want.  I have a few training licenses, I don't think I'd be able to reinstall it.  Besides, I don't want to spend days and days software and reconfigure my system.
  I have a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, but I want to leave this machine as a Vista machine.  At I throw my money on the upgrade pack or is there someway around this problem?

  Looking for a difference in numbers/Service Pack levels.

  If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
  You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.

• Free upgrade from Vista Home Premium 7

  My laptop is still under warranty. I bought it New from Best Buy. Given that it was a floor model, they tell me that my computer is NOT available for free upgrade to Windows 7. Why? Is it possible that I can get a free upgrade to Windows 7? It has Vista Home Premium built in and the reason that I don't like is that it is not useful at all as much as to teach me how to use the computer. I am a senior and I learn right on the computer. If I can't get the free update, Do You traore the price of Windows 7 never boils? Any help is appreciated! Thank you very much!-Chris, in Dearborn, Michigan.

  Suppose you have qualified for an Upgrade to Win7 for free if you had not bought a floor model is reduced, Chris. In any case, only Best Buy can really explain why the computer does not qualify.

  You can buy an Express Upgrade to Win7 Home Premium (~ $120 USD retail or less) or Win7 Ultimate (~ 220 USD $ retail or less). See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/shop?T1=win7 or http://www.google.com/products?q=%22windows+7+home+premium%22+%2B+upgrade&hl=en&aq=f

  Please note that the upgrade to Win7 peut invalidates your warranty and Service contracts.

  In any case Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Please post future questions about the upgrade in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads
