• How to make a Vista 32 bit media upgrade to 64 - bit with an OEM System Builder pack.

  I bought a Vista 32 bit Home Premium OEM system builder pack just now when I built my computer and I was wandering how to do media upgrade to 64 - bit.

  32-bit to 64-bit is not an upgrade path.

  Buy a FULL version of the operating system 64-bit Vista disk/license and clean install.

  Try your local computer, or online store: amazon, newegg, etc.

• How do I upgrade to Windows 7 Pro without reinstalling the operating system?

  I have a client who is moving from a workgroup to a domain based network.  About half of the computers are Windows 7 Home edition.  I need to upgrade to Pro so I can join the domain.  I was not able to find an easy way to do it since Anytime Upgrade no longer works on Windows 7.  The only time I did, I had to by a free license key and ended up having to completely reinstall the operating system.  So, how can I switch to Win 7 Pro without reinstallation of the operating system or go to Windows 8.

• Issue of Windows 7 SP1 OEM System Builder Pack

  I recently bought the Pack Windows 7 SP1 OEM System Builder and I don't know if I bought the right product. I had to replace my HARD drive (old one crashed) and I felt it was time to leave the world of XP. It will be installed on an existing computer that does not have to be sold. I don't want to open the software until I'm 100% sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  There's nothing wrong with using it, just that there are certain restrictions that apply. In view of this manufacturer of OEM licenses system will soon become only detail existing once stock option full version licenses have been exhausted, I'd say don't worry about this.

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  Licensing FAQ:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx

  The main advantage with the retail license is the clause that allows the easy between future materials transfer if that's the case, but I wouldn't worry too much on this subject.

  Since you have replaced the drive, it would have been a clean install anyway, even if Windows XP was still in use on the system.

  If you are not comfortable with it, you can always go back and buy the full commercial license:

• Can I use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3 users) to install Windows 7 Edition home premium 64 on a desktop computer running the OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium 32?

  My desktop system is an Acer E700 Intel Quad Core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 1 Gig video running Vista Home Premium OEM 32 version. I plan to upgrade the hard disk of 1 tetrabyte before upgrading the OS.  If so, how should I do this?  I have to restore the backup to disk to the new disk before update for Window 7 64?

  My second office is already running Vista Home Premium 64 so this upgrade using the family must be right before correct?  Or do I need to backup to the subject programs before moving to Win7 64?

  Thanks in advance.

  You will need to do a reformat to perform installation and you reinstall the applications.  There has never been a way to upgrade from x 86 to x 64.  You will need to do is use your x 64 media to install Windows 7 on new hard drive, use your product key on the certificate of authenticity located on the side of the Acer desktop computer.  You will always be the OEM license terms, as you install the same Windows SKU.  Product keys are interchangeable between x 86 and x 64, but you will probably need to call to activate Windows after installation - usually the Internet activation does not work on current versions of Windows using the seller great modes of action.

  Help me asus laptop n55sf
  I bought asus n55sf notebook, The OEM OS (Windows 7 Home Premium) it comes preinstalled without any image or cd and I want to ask to download an original copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from microsoft using the key provided with the laptop

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 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.

• My laptop camera image on the upside after the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

  I have a laptop Asus G50Vt - X 1, which is a 64-bit computer. It had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit installed on it and the unit worked properly with him. I ran the update of Windows 7 Advisory on this matter and he said I could upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. After the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit the images from the camera are all upside. I contacted Asus about the problem and they sent me the drivers updated, but the images are still upside down. Pourrait Windows 7 cause this problem as I know that it worked fine under Vista?

  I also noticed that my dvd/cd player and external hard drives don't stop the execution after that I have quit an application. When this happens, I can't eject the cd or remove the drive from the computer.

• Where to get the CD to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit (non OEM)?

  I want to move from 32-bit Vista Business Edition without wiping my whole system.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
  -Expensive

• Trying to Win 7 Home Premium to Win 7 Professional. It forces me to turn on the system restore, but I don't want to. How can I proceed?

  Just got a new Dell laptop. Have restored to factory settings again. I am trying to upgrade to Win 7 home premium to win 7 professional. The first time I did it, it took place without a hitch. But this second everyone, it won't continue unless I turn on system restore. But from what I've read in the dialog box, if I turn on system restore, I fear he would write on the factory saved settings. And I don't want to do that. I guess the economies of the plant are in the "Recovery" folder that is separate from the C drive.

  Turn on system restore, if necessary replace the factory settings in the folder "recovery"? Thanks for the help.
