    Your best option is to ask a backup copy or to borrow the corresponding edition, you have a license from a friend. Ensure that it is a upgrade disk or any retail version is authentic.

  • Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 for free. Format a hard drive with Windows 10. Same upgrade again.

    I have laptop which has been also upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. But it works very well. But on PC I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 free without entering a product key. So at the beginning I had same problem as in this case:

    Which I was not able to solve. A kind of workaround was to create another user. But with that I lost all settings. So I restored Windows 10 in original condition and everything was fine. Until this happens:
    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/cant-access-change-user-account-control-settings/da8c63a9-F995-4e8b-88d8-34c4d813084e

    I tried all the answers, that is to create another user, or use points of restoration, or boot. There is nothing to solve this problem. Then at first, I tried to apply USB recovery but after all treatment, there was an error and the only option to restart. Second, I tried to restore the system, which also failed. I'm done with formatting hard drive and use the Windows 7 DVD. I skipped looking for updates and you don't have invitation to upgrade in the taskbar. That said, when I tried to upgrade to Windows 10 with GetWindows10 - Web_Default_Attr.exe app after about 1-2 hout of certain operations it asks me to enter the product key and there is no option to skip this step.

    Is it possible to upgrade once more at all? Do I need to install all updates for Windows 7 first? Or GetWindows10 - Web_Default_Attr.exe app is not a good way for me to upgrade?

  • Upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 Home Premium SPI1 32 bit

    I bought Windows 7 upgrade from Windows XP. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor and says he is good to go. Back up the entire computer, deleted all devices and followed the steps listed on the MS site «upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7» He has never completely installed and when I reboot, I get the BSOD. I have no way of getting back to the screen (even in any Safe Mode) start. Right now the BSOD States: STOP: 0X0000005C (0X0000010B, 0 x 00000003, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

    I read all the instructions on this forum community and all State guidelines for work in the start menu. I can't go to the start menu! Then he said to start from the Windows XP disk, I do not have the disk... never did! I paid $150.00 for this patch that is useless. When I'm in the start up screen it then gives me the option to revert to the earlier version of windows. I'm used to be able to do so and continue with Windows XP. Now it won't even let me do that it gives an error code "Unmountable_Boot_Volume".

    I know that this is directly related to the upgrade to Windows 7. I've seen hundreds of messages with the same number. What can I do at this point in order to erase the entire hard drive or simply go back to Windows XP.

    Any help anyone can offer would be MUCH appreciated. Yet once, I can't start screen. It starts to load Windows XP and stops immediately. And if I need the Windows XP Recovery discs... How can I do?

    Computers that are preinstalled with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    You can also try F10 if its an old unit.

  • Upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Ultimate

    If I upgrade Windows 7 Starter to Ultimate a CD/USB/HDD, is it possible to save all the programs/applications so that I do not need to re - install again?

    You will not be able to do.

    You must use the product key and to make an Express upgrade.

    If the license for Windows 7 Ultimate, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Ultimate. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate files the stored settings and programs.

  • I will be eligible for the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8?

    OK, so I have a Dell PC with Windows 7, but there are LOTS of screenshots.

    Well, here it is:

    1. it is a laptop computer Dell Latitude D620, manufactured in June 2005 and in almost continuous use since then. It is still surprisingly running at full pace without any sign of imminent death, the only thing replaced after being the DVD drive by me a few months ago. However, it was for a reason any sold by some obscure computer store in Oregon that no longer exists with... you guessed it... Windows 98! Even if it was a PC brand new with a processor to 3.6 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM and a 80 GB HDD. Someone managed to get 98 supporting NTFS and multiple core processors, as well as all access modern ports.

    2. between yesterday and today, it has changed hands 3times & 1/2. I say 1/2 because it belonged to a mobile commerce rental service. It has been upgraded from windows 98 through the different versions (Millennium, 2000, XP, XP MC) almost as soon as he leaves the plateau. He never had the OEM OS, NEVER, my best guess would be XP Media Center 2005.

    3. when I bought it in March 2011 for $250 on Ebay, it was XP SP3 on it, which I suppose is reasonably close to the OEM and oddly, Netscape Navigator. I immediately updated for Firefox and Chrome (I was taught to hate IE by father of Ubuntu 11.04 - running, he has always not has not upgraded to 11.10 or 12.04 LTS because he does not like she went from Gnome to the complete unit for a more mobile sensation). After about 6 months with the thing, I decided to use the old Vista Pro my dad drive to improve and maintain my stuff and do the same thing in Vista to 7.

    4. I got the Windows 7 Ultimate key off one of these as a reward online survey companies, the insertion of a Windows 7 box was in an envelope in my mailbox the next day. I put it in my computer and it worked for awhile, but it threw an error "you must activate Windows" less than a month. I called Microsoft support and managed to get a free replacement.

    So basically, it of really old (but still able to catch up with modern computers), changed hands a ridiculous amount of time, had a case upgrade and friends-letting-you-use-their-disc-for-free history that calibrated before the Millennium, was sold by a company that no longer exists with a tweak hack and possible root of an obsolete OS without reason that definitively cancelled the guarantee , crossed 2 FREE Windows 7 product keys, no one can find the original license or serial number and still less the person who actually bought the damn thing, AND the kitchen sink!

    My question is, I'll be eligible for the Windows 7-8 upgrade, not, or is there no way to know even at this stage? Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

    NOTE: Most of this information came from a complete history, I bought from the seller (who happened to have a scanned copy of each receipt, label, box and contract of prior to the time of thanks to God, even if I don't think that he could get this info legally or easily) for $ 20 as a result of a non-ebay transaction.

    This blog says MS that you are entitled to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $ 39.99 it aims just have Win7 without making any reference to upgrade history.

  • Will there be a direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8 final version?

    Migration to Windows XP 8

    Will there be a direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8 final version?  If so, are there details around this yet?

    If by "direct" you mean that you don't have to reinstall your applications, then almost certainly this option will be available.

    If you simply mean "l will be able to use an upgrade rather than a full license" - it's a lot more muddy waters, but I suspect that MS is going to cut the rug under the judicious XP and only allow upgrades from Vista and Win7.

    Hello

    What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
    Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
    Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
    Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:
