  • Can I upgrade to windows vista home Premium 32 bit on 64-bit operating system

    Im running windows 7 Home premium on opus 64-bit system.  Can I upgrade to windows vista Home premium 32-bit...

    Hello

    This is not an upgrade from Windows 7 to Vista.

    It is a downgrade that Vista is the previous operating system before Windows 7 came out and you would have to BUY a COMPLETE of Vista version and do a fresh install of Vista; but before you buy Vista, check first that your computer manufacturer provides the Vista drivers for your model computer.

    Microsoft sells more Vista; Try Amazon.com.

    You are unable to update or upgrade Vista 32 bit to 64 bit of Vista.

    32-bit to 64-bit, or 64 bit to 32 bit is done by a new installation using a full version of the operating system.

  • The upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

    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.

  • Upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

    I am considering the upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate. I already bought the software Windows Vista Ultimate Edition at a great price from Circuit City when they were going out of business. I am currently using Windows Vista Home Premium. I need to install a program called SolidWorks 2008 CAD - 2009 in College and this program is already bought and in my possession. Family Premium is not compatible with this program. I really don't want to go because I believe that it will lose the ultimate software, but I think, that I have no other choice in order to use my copy of SolidWorks 2008 - 2009. So I have a few questions related to it. Is there a way to get around this, and if not, is there something I need to do or uninstall until I try to install this upgrade? I can't afford to have any problems during this update because I need every day my computer for school. Is a one time installation were I will not be able to use this ultimate software on another computer ever? Thanks for your help.

    Windows Vista Compatibility Center

    Use the foregoing for checks for hardware and software compatibility.

    If it is not Compatible, it is not Compatible with Vista.
    Changing the Vista version it will be not Compatible.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Read this info on running your program in XP SP2 Compatibility Mode:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

    If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
    It works for some programs, but not all.

    This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Looking for Service Pack levels during the upgrade:

    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.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

    "How to uninstall Windows Vista service packs"

    If the OS installed Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 1 upgrade disk > uninstall SP2 installed operating system > install the upgrade > reinstall SP2.

    And run the upgrade of a Vista operating system.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If it is a retail upgrade license, it can be transferred to another machine.
    But it can be installed on a single computer at a time.

  • 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.

    Currently, I have installed a retail version of Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium on a desktop computer that is no longer I intend to use. I would like to turn off on this area, before you reformat the hard disk and give the computer to charity, without installing anything on the hard drive. Is this possible and if so, how? Thank you.

    Just reformat the hard drive.

    You do not contact Microsoft.
