• Upgrade XP to Windows 7

  I am currently using XP Professional with SPs 2 and 3 on a Sony VAIO bought in December 2005.  I have my XP Professional box with the product code; However, I can't find my original CD.  About three years ago my hard drive crashed due to an electrical problem and had to be reinstalled.  The computer that reprired it is no longer around and I'm not sure he did with my original CD when it returned to my Inbox.  I'll be able to install Windows 7 without my original XP CD by entering the product code?

  Hi Marie n.,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  You cannot upgrade windows XP to windows 7, the only option is to do a custom install to install windows 7. Custom installation will all move the file from the windows XP system to the windows.old folder; It will be not formatted (save the data before clean/custom install).

  You cannot use the windows XP for windows product key 7.

  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.

  How to upgrade:

  If you have Vista:

  Update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7

  New installation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7-custom

  Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
  Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

  Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
  A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

  • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

  • Install Windows 7

  • Reinstall all your files

  • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

  These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

• I have a Genunine Windows XP (Home edition) installed PC imy. My RAM is 3 GB. Can I upgrade my system Windows Vista withuot spend the extra money?

  The product key for my Windows XP Home Edition is: XXXX-deleted-XXXX. While working in the PC, I get a MESSAGE"blingin on-screen ' OSB LOCKED: I want to know how to stop the message often displayed blinging."

  My second question is can I upgrade my system Windows Vista freely.

  My Hotmail ID of single widows is: [redacted]

  Rigaut

  First of all - do not post in a public forum product keys.

  Second - "OSB LOCKED"... Of course you did not mean "OSD LOCKED?  (a 'd' and not a 'B'...)

  OSD is the "On Screen Display" and has nothing to do with what version of Windows you have - but with yor monitor.  Look here:
  http://www.thefakegeek.com/2009/04/how-to-unlock-an-OSD-lockout-problem/
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-desktop-PC-questions/OSD-locked/TD-p/40291

  Last - is impossible to freely pass your system to Windows Vista.  Windows Vista is a product different from Windows XP and you will need to obtain a license.

• Why can't I enter my upgrade key after Windows Anytime Upgrade on Vista?

  I bought the software update Window 7 Ultimate. I followed the instructions on the box:

  Click the Start button

  In the search box, type Windows Anytime Upgrade

  Click Windows Anytime Upgrade and clide enter an upgrade key.

  Yet, there is no link that says enter an upgrade key. There is only a link to the site Web microsoft talks Windows 7.

  I downloaded the Windows Upgrade Advisor. I did everyting that he told me to do. He checked that the computer was eligible for an upgrade (Toshiba Satellite running Vista).  I tried again with the Windows Anytime Upgrade again. There is still no link to enter the upgrade key.

  What should I do to get to the place to enter the upgrad key?

  Please note that there are no Windows Anytime Upgrade (WAU) for Windows Vista to Windows 7. There is only Windows Upgrade (WU) in which you need to buy a Windows 7 disc and upgrade of the key. You can refer to the link below for more information about upgrading Windows Vista to Windows 7.
