    Hi ronnieVron,

    Your copy of Windows is only allowed for 'a machine If you want to put Vista Edition home premium on your 'old laptop"you can buy a new copy of Vista premium. Another point is that copies of Windows was probably preinstalled on your laptop, which means that, putting license on one side, your copy is related to each specific laptop and so, because the copy is related to the material on each laptop, you would have problems on other transfer machine. Anyway you could invalidate your Windows license.

    Hello

    My personal opinion is that you buy a more recent machine as Vista Basic came on machines that have the material basis for it requirements.

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

    Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    Yes, it's possible and not only W2K3. You can also use any other operating systems such as W2K, XP, Linux...

    There is also a free version: VMware Server 2.x.

    In the virtual machine, you will find a material unified, which means you can push the guest around various VMware products.

    You have USB, audio series, parallel, LAN available. If you need to connect via the wireless or aome other type of network that you can achieve as long as this communication device has a TCP/IP stack.

    What do you mean by video? A graphics card or some sort of card TV etc. ? Of course, you have a virtual video card.

    See this link for virtual material available under VMware Workstation (click on the ">" at the top): http://pubs.vmware.com/ws65_ace25/ws_user/intro_vmspec_ws.html

    See this link for virtual material available under VMware Server (Page 28): http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf

    How effective is this tool.

    It depends on what you want to do in my humble OPINION. It is not effective if you want to play high-end, latest games to edge. But for all other purposes as

    -have more than one type of operating system for reasons any

    -Development

    -Creation of network for the test scenarios, learning

    -Distribution application

  • Upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium at 8 - CPU does not support NX

    Hello

    I have Vista Home Premium (very probably OEM as it came with the PC) on a PC and I bought the upgrade license to Windows 8 Pro.
    I understand that it is in terms of the license transition, but here is my problem:
    The CPU does not support NX (and for sure there is no setting in the BIOS for this).
    So I can't move to 8.
    To replace the CPU, I need to replace the motherboard.
    If I replace the motherboard my understanding is I'm losing the license because it OEM.
    So, in reality, I can't switch to Win 8.
    The license, I bought said that I can pass any system running XP, Vista, Win 7 to 8 Win.
    It does not distinguish between older versions of Windows OEM and retail versions.
    For me, it's a huge conflict.
    So the question is:
    Can I change the CPU + motherboard to earn 8? or not?
    Thank you
    It has been some time but I finally had the time to do the upgrade (hardware + software).
    For history and for others who could come on this post with a similar question and be discouraged by responses like this:
    I contacted the technical support of MS and they confirmed that I had a Windows 8 Pro upgrade license and after upgrading my license would Win 8 Pro full-detail (what you want to call it). Essentially, after upgrade, I can reinstall any other motherboard. Of course you can only use a license on a machine at one time.
    (Of course your upgrade license type may be different to mine, so you should check they type of license)
    In any case, what is more interesting, it of that I got the confirmation that I can do a clean install and activate my upgrade license. Not only that, but they recommended the installation of Vista should not be present when installing on 8 to win. I was very skeptical and I asked for an account of the cat to be on the right side. They assured me that the support had made several times and is not a problem.
    And so, I do a clean install on the new motherboard (and a new player) and activated windows 8 with no problems at all.
    It seems very stupid that you can change the motherboard after the upgrade, but could not make the move and the Windows update at the same time. Fortunately, it is not the case.
    To me, it seems that the MS are aware that in you to go from XP (soon), they should also use the materials for the upgrade.

    I've upgraded to Windows Vista Home Basic to Windows Home Premium about a year on this computer. This computer had to enter the shop to be fixed. When I came back, I noticed that he had Home Basic top. I tried to use the disk upgrade on this computer again and it won't let me not upgrading and Technical Support wants to charge me 59,00 just to tell me what's wrong. I won't pay that kind of money for something that is already paid. What should I do?

    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.

    Hello

    I HAV downloaded the ISO file following from the MSDN (en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso) site for the upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

    How should I now improve my OS from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.  Double-click the ISO file says that Windows cannot open the file.  How can I open the file?  Should it be converted into a .exe file.  If so, how?

    Thank you.

    A .iso file is an image of a dvd.  It is not a program or data file.  You need to burn this image on a dvd with your burning program.  Copy disc, burn to disc.  We'll then work the disc in your optical drive.
