upgrade of Windows vista 64 problem home premium to windows 7 64

I have Vista 64 on a HP desktop computer.  I bought Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for Windows Vista.  I ran the software compatibility, and everything is in order for the update/install.  My current office meets all requirements to install and run Windows 7 Home premium.  I have a lot of storage space on my drive.  My problem occurs all at Midway through the installation where he collected, files, settings, etc.  Installation suddenly stops and gives me a message of installation was interrupted.  "Not able to install driver.  He leaves me no choice to leave the facility.   There is no way to know which driver he could not install, why he could not install, where to go for a solution, or something useful.  Simply, he stops and requires to click the installation menu.  I tried three installs with the same message and the result.   I have searched all over the web to see if this question has been discussed without a bit of luck.  Can someone walk me through this problem with a solution?  I really want to keep my programs, settings, etc. by doing an upgrade and not a custom install which erases everything.  Appreciate any help out there!

Do NOT upgrade.  Install rather cleanly.  This means that when you get to the choice: upgrade or custom, select custom.

Experts of Windows for a long time would never install an upgrade.

Backup your data first.  Normally, I do a full backup of the data AND use Windows Easy Transfer for Vista.  Available on the Microsoft web site.  Windows Easy Transfer works very well.

You cannot save programs.  They must be put back.

Clean the end Install

After Windows 7 drivers system and all updates are installed and stable applications such as Microsoft Office are installed and updated, and before data or dynamic applications are installed such as antivirus software, create a system image.  It will take 3 or 6 DVD +Rs (non - Rs) and about an hour.  When you are finished, you will have a very nice bit of insurance.  You must again and again re - build a damaged system or replacing a hard drive, you will have a double précis of your system as it was at this time.  You can restore this image on a hard drive in about 20 minutes.  Creating a System Image is in your menu in respect of Maintenance, backup and restore.

Another great feature on the use of the image, it's that you don't have an installation disc or product key to re - install the next time.

  • upgrade to VISTA (x 32) Home Premium from Windows 7 Home Premium (x 32).

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (x 32). I have a HP Pavilion a6450z, which has a SLIC 2.0 BIOS made by Phoenix Technologies. I'm running VISTA (x 32) Home Premium now, that came on the computer when I bought it in May 2008. From what I read, that I need to update my BIOS so it will have SLIC 2.1 otherwise I won't be able to activate it. Is it true or when I install Windows 7 will automatically upgrade my BIOS?

    Thanks Hank

    HankT,

    If you ask a question with statements not reported, make you it harder. Do you have a link for your references about a need to upgrade the BIOS. On the Web THAT NL page listed, there is no update of the BIOS.

    I have a HPm8100e CTO, M2N68LA Narra2 Council. You have the Narra3 Council. The upgrade on the spot (abeit's Ultimate) has been completed. The only hick-ups have been re - install a few games, and new printer drivers. (I had 2 printers on this computer).

    Yes.

    2. in the case, which version do you recommend?

    N/A

    3. should I download it from Microsoft or do I have to download it also?

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7.

    Try Amazon.com., etc.

  • Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating systems disks

    I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

    So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

    Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

    Thank you!

    You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  • Disks for Vista Edition OS Home Premium x 64

    Hello

    I have two HP computers, a dx7500 and a Pavilion a6512p. The dx7500 came with Vista (Business 32-bit) OS disks, but the a6512p did not come with a set of disks of BONE. Is it possible to buy, HP, a set of operating system from Vista x 64 Home Premium DVD?

    Please note that I am not looking to "restore" disks, or "recovery" disks - I would like to get (if that is possible) a set of actual operating system installation DVD for my a6512p, just as I have for the dx7500.

    Thanks much for any help you could give.

    Hello:

    You can do your own Vista disc and use the product key to activate the installation.

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

  • Windows apparently can't stand Vista more means can't be upgraded to Vista Business from Home Premium?

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 using a Vista Home Premium x 64 OS and I want to upgrade the operating system Vista Business but what I understand that MS can't stand Vista does that mean I can't do this? Is there another place I can buy a 3rd type company. third-party software for my portable computer? I read an answer in the system here that said I can improve, but the question and the answer was written in ' 09 and I don't think that's relevant today. Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    you have never been able to do this upgrade

    You can't put Vista Home Premium to Vista Business; This is NOT an upgrade path

    Home Premium to Business must be done with a clean installation using a patented FULL vista

    You can upgrade Home Premium to Ultimate

    Ultimate includes the enterprise features

    to buy it test a computer repair shop and ask them to left over copies

    purchase online can be fraught with dangers of piracy

    When you buy a new computer with a Microsoft Windows OS installed at the factory, it is an OEM version.  Unlike retail versions that you can buy in the store, the OEM versions are no longer valid on the first computer it's installed and activated on.  In addition, the Windows Vista license must stay on the computer, as will be the basis to install an 'upgrade' of Windows 7 version.  Without this license Windows Vista installed, you must rather a license of Windows 7 more expensive "full version". Carey Frisch

    Hello Richard,.

    Thanks for your comments as my friend.

    OK Carey, this brings me to the next question... "Without this license of Windows Vista installed, you'll have rather a license of Windows 7"full version"more expensive."

    After I upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate without the license of Windows 7 more expensive "full version". It is permitted only on this machine too? or is this considered a retail version I own?

    It comes with both 32 bit and 64 bit installs?

    Once again thanks to you both for your time and knowledge, I am truly grateful.

    Peace,

    Tungerz

    If you purchase a Windows 7 Upgrade license it is transferable to another computer as it is a retail license and retail licenses are transferable to different computers.  You can only use one of the levels of two bits (32 or 64) of Windows 7 at the same time.  In other words, you cannot use the license for two computers at the same time, a 32-bit and 64-bit.  It works just like that.
