Upgrade from Vista to Win7 (64 bit Home Premium) (64-bit Home Premium) hung up to 96%

I bought a subscription Office 365 this weekend, he returned and discovered that it won't work on my machine which is / was running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I had a disc OEM Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) I bought a few months ago, when I had to completely rebuild my machine, but has not used, because by some miracle, he started on my Vista drive.  I ran the Upgrade Advisor, dealt with the non-compliant issues, updated everything, disabled my antivirus software and did a upgrade install.  It stuck at 18% for hours during the 3rd stage of the installation, and then as I was on system crash, he started to answer and he got 96%, where it is been blocked for more than 16 hours.  If I try to cancel the installation, it is said that it will / could make my system unusable.  I saw there is a problem with these being stuck at 62%, but if I can't stop installation without turning my brick system, how to fix this?

Turn off the computer

Disconnect non-essential connections and start the machine again and see if it finishes the installation program.

If this does not work, try the following:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Re-create disc set of system recovery after OS upgrade from Vista to Win7

    Hello, my HARD drive crashed, and as part of the replacement procedure, I also bought an upgrade of the OS Win7. I used my original restore disks game for the PC to Windows Vista and then upgraded to upgrade to Win7. I want to re - create the defined under Win7 recovery disc, in the case where I never restore the OS again, to avoid restoring Vista and upgrade to Win7 process. Unfortunately, Recovery Manager reports that a recovery set have been achieved and can be done again.

    Is it possible to redo the restore with the new OS Win7 disc?

    Hi for dog,

    Windows 7 has been available for download on the Microsoft Store until the latter part of 2012 - however, now, you will need to buy an installation disc from a store.

    Windows 7 drivers are available for your laptop - see the link below.

  • Problems upgrading from vista to win7

    I have a Toshiba satellite p205 and I have the disc of windows 7, but when I go through the process, it does not work, so I downloaded win7 Upgrade Advisor and he says: I have all kinds of compatibility problems with drivers toshiba n such, he also says that I don't have the vista service pack (in which I don't have) so I kept installing updates from windows but the option to install SP1 never showed up. So I downloaded manually 440 mb SP1 on MS website, but it will fail to install due to an error. Can anyone help?

    NightFury,
    Try the following and let us know the result.

    Run the disk error checking
    Then run the System File Checker
    Will download and run the System Update tool
    Make sure to note one of these tools can display error messages.

    Will they all work fine and correct problems, and then run Windows Update.  After installing other updates, then try the manual installation for SP1.  It would also be useful to know what error you get when SP1 installs.

  • Struggling micro does not work. Installed Chipset for Dell Xps 420. Has been upgraded from vista to 7 64-bit

    Whenever I plug a microphone, the microphone taken none appears on the recording tab devices in the sound settings.

    The audio jack works well and worked even without the chipset drivers.

    I tried to download realtek but I get an error that says no drivers supported.

    Hello

    I couldn't find an update for Windows 7 for your computer, which means that Dell has not all drivers for this OS on your computer XPS 420. However, there is a driver that is specific to Vista 64-bit, download here: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/xps-420?driverId=4JDG5&osCode=WV64&fileId=2731098634&languageCode=EN&categoryId=AU .

    Another option to consider is to update your video driver to the latest version, download here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-320.18-whql-driver.html (it was released on 23 May). I suggest as an alternative as video drivers often include audio drivers as well.

    Those are the two pilots who appear to be more likely to adapt to your system, and if one or the other does not work you can restore the driver using the dialog of properties as follows:

    1. Go to control panel and click Device Manager.
    2. When that opens, click sound, video and game controllers.
    3. Select the audio driver / video, you have downloaded and installed.
    4. Right-click on the device and select Properties.
    5. When this window opens, go to the tab (on the top row) driver.
    6. Click the Driver Rollback button and left-click on it.
    7. Let Windows reinstall the older driver.
    8. Restart your computer.

    If all goes well, one of these fixes will take care of the problem. Keep me posted.

    Kind regards

  • upgrade from Vista to Win7: no color for speaker Icon or WIFI icon on the system tray

    After the upgrade to Win7, both the WIFI icon and the "speaker" icon are white without color.  Just annoying for the speaker, but I cannot see the strength of the signal for the wifi icon.

    Hello
    This does not solve the problem.  The advice given doesn't turn, and turn off the system icons.  The issue is not that the icons are invisible.  The problem is that the icons are there, but they have no color, as I expect.

    Hello

    It is design in Windows 7. There is no way to change this in the user interface.

  • Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium Enterprise?

    I think my laptop at home has Windows Vista Business edition (I'll have to double check when I get home). I was wondering if I could buy the upgrade from Vista business to Windows 7 Home Premium edition. I don't need all the stuff that comes with Windows 7 Professional, but I don't know if I am limited to just Windows 7 professional since I'm upgrading to Vista professional. Windows 7 Home Edition Premium is a notch down from Windows 7 Professional, so I was wondering if it is possible to do. Or I'm stuck after you buy the full version of Windows 7 Home Premium for the SB $ 199.99 upgrade $ 119.99.

    Then I can buy just the Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium, Version upgrade and just do a custom installation? The instructions are fairly easy to follow? The only upgrade I've ever done is when I got my laptop from XP to Vista, (it came with XP installed and they gave me a CD to upgrade to Vista if I wanted to).

    Yes, its simple, simply start your desktop of Windows Vista professional, insert the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade DVD, click install now. When the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.
